Blog CemeteryThe O.C. - axed!
February 2nd 2007 01:26
What are we going to do without The O.C.? OK, so we saw it coming. Marissa left. Summer went weird – hello hippie! And, Ryan got over his grief for Marissa a little too quickly – and a little too quickly fell into the arms of Taylor (quel annoying!).
But what now? Will it be like the end of Sex and the City – where we are still hanging on, still reading references to the characters in magazine and newspaper articles and watching the series on DVD over and over?? (Desperate Housewives really hasn’t been a catchy enough replacement for SATC - I don’t care what they say!!)
Will there be talk of an O.C. movie, but Mischa being the only one not to sign up due to not enough dosh being on offer, and the whole thing falling apart before it’s even started?
Will there be hushed talk of in-fighting among the former cast (as there was with Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall)? Maybe it will be unearthed that Mischa really left the show ‘cause she was getting it on with Adam Brody behind Rachel Bilson‘s back – or something to that effect, perhaps! The Brady Bunch image will fall apart forever…
At least the finale of Sex and the City was poignant – with the double episode on Paris and there finally being a spark of hope for Big and Carrie. (Remember Big’s real name flashing up on her mobile phone, at last – “John” – and his uttering of love for Carrie?) What could top that? Bringing Marissa back from the dead?? Yikes!
Unfortunately, for The O.C. – unlike Sex and the City – it HAS left its finale a tad too late. The show’s producers left it until the once hit program had been put into a 9.30 timeslot – from 8.30 – and its script had grown tired, forced and too unbelievable (the more over the top, the more they’re compensating for the pure dynamite now lacking from the script).
How many more times could Ryan get into a fight anyway? Or Julie Cooper scheme a mansion off some poor rich bloke? Or, Sandy save some poor sucker? Or, for that matter, Kirsten (read: Keeeeersten) get on and off the booze again? (Geez, I hated those eppies – boring!)
Hopefully, the finale won’t be lame, disappointing or stale - and it won’t make us NOT want to buy the DVDs or reminisce about that once hip, youthful part of our lives – or real part of our history and social conscience, for that matter.
And, that a really good soapie replacement will come by quicker than it has for Sex and the City. Er, amen.
