The O.C. Season 3 Discussion Thread #2
 

Yes, I am. So far Ryan/Sadie are annoying me again this episode.

I actually thought the SS scene on the couch where Summer was trying to set the mood was kinda funny. :)

^TFTNT!

Okay, I admit that I don't like Ryan/Sadie, but I LOVE that episode because of the other stuff... it finally brings some closure to how Ryan is dealing with Trey being gone and he works hard to improve something else about himself. :nod: They couldn't bring Trey back because Logan was working on another project, but I guess they did the next best thing. Remember I told you I don't really watch the show so much for the relationships? I care much more about Ryan and Seth individually as people and Ryan's background and his relationship with his biological family and the Cohens. I also care about Seth and Sandy/Seth and Kirsten's relationship. Seth/Ryan friendship too of course. These were always the most interesting part of the show for me so I never got mad when Ryan was in a relationship I wasn't fond of.

I admit I wasn't a fan of the Taylor/SS story line in it though.

It must have been frustrating for him to act out being in relationships with so many girls since he thought that. :lol:

Thanks for the new one! I just started one as well. :lol:

:lol: This is the first time I haven't minded Taylor that much, probably because I'm getting to see more SS together because of it. :love:

I like Taylor. I always did. :)

What do you think of the Trey stuff so far? I always loved the symbolism with the toy cars. I love the scene where Ryan is punching the bag and has flashbacks and Kirsten talks to him. I didn't mind the Jess storyline either. Ryan learns to finally ditch the super hero complex because of it. He's growing up. :)

I get why Jess would want Ryan (who wouldn't :sigh:) but it's crazy how badly he feels he needs to protect people!

Yeah, Ryan's got a HUUUUUUUUUGE hero complex. It's sweet, but sometimes he's gotta let things be. I think he realizes that for the first time in this episode. :)

I like Jess in this episode. I hated her in S2, but I feel now she's really trying to change. :P

Are you up to the part with the 3 of them alone at school? :lol:

:lol: I do admit that was funny. The part of the story line I don't like is with the Karma Sutra. The rest of it I enjoyed. :) I don't get why people wouldn't grow to love Taylor. She helps SS a lot, and she's hilarious. Definitely one of my top 5 favorites on the show. :P

Yeah same here about the storyline.
I definitely grow to like Taylor more at the end of S3. She's still not one of my favourites but yeah, she definitely grows on me.

Did the episode end with Marissa & Volchok having sex? It cut off, and I'm not sure if that was the very end.

I'm surprised, but I don't mind Marissa/Volchok as much as I mind Ryan/Sadie, even if she is a sweet girl. I don't know what it is... but RM need to get back together before Marissa dies, right?! :bawl: Or at least be talking... she can't die with them like this, she just can't...

I was when I made that comment. :nod:

^ Yeah Jamie. Marissa/Volchok had sex. :nod:

You don't mind Marissa/Volchok? But he's such a bad guy!!!! I definitely thought Ryan/Sadie was a more bearable relationship, although I wasn't a fan of it either. What annoys you so much about it? Do you not like how Ryan behaves in it? It doesn't last long though so don't worry. :)

S4 made Taylor one of my favorites. :P I adore RT.

But yeah, by the end of S3 she was already becoming quite charming I feel. :)

Oh OK cool! It's funny how they have their hand on each other's faces. :lol:

It was Naomi. :nod:

:lol: I just saw the beginning of #19. Summer sees Marissa/Volchok:

Seth: So if the body doesn't lie...
Summer: Then it's saying EWWW!

:lol: That made me laugh. I love Summer in this episode.

And it's hilarious when Ryan walks into the kitchen and Seth and Sandy are glum and he's all happy and Seth says, "Dad, Ryan just smiled." :lol: And Ryan tells them all to "Cheer up." Haha.
