I think this week’s OC was awesome: lots of highjinks, hip band, etc.

First of all I feel the need to say that Zack seems to be a little too perfect, if you know what I mean. The hypothesis I’m most in support of is that he’s gay, but other suggestions included that he could also lose his shit and start beating Summer up (giving Seth opportunity to save her). I think he should have at least been a little more sad when he told her that she should go work her shit out with Seth, and they had a great time over break this summer, but if that’s all it was supposed to be, that’s fine.

While we’re talking about Summer, did anyone else notice that she had magically-appearing bangs? In the scene where she’s talking to Zack before the concert there are no bangs. When she goes to meet Seth: bangs! V. strange.

Also, Ryan and Lindsay’s meet-cute was a little too cute. I might get to like her (I usually like the smart girl), but for now, she reminds me of when they brought that blonde Republican in on The West Wing and no one liked her but Rob Lowe or whoever, possibly just because he wanted to bone her, I don’t know, I stopped watching the show around then. I’m sure Ryan will reveal her softer side. (Or something. So dirty-sounding.)
She seems very Anna-ish though, not so much in personality, but in fellow-outsider position on the show. I guess they couldn’t have that wacky double-date plot next week if it was Anna though.

The new girl who works at the club with the tattoos (whose name I don’t remember at all) is totally going to whip Seth into shape. She seems like she won’t take any of Seth’s shit. Go new girl!

What else? Oooh! Julie Cooper! (I know her name is Julie Nichols now, but it doesn’t have the same ring.) Okay, why is she suddenly “standing by” Caleb when she wouldn’t stand by Jimmy when the EXACT SAME THING happened, only I guess the whole town isn’t really turning their backs on Caleb the way they did with Jimmy.
Also, what’s with Jimmy and Julie being friendly now? She’s a hobag! And he knows it!
Also, what’s with Caleb making Julie the CEO? Why does Julie even want to be the CEO? She doesn’t even know anything about CEOing! She probably won’t even like it!
Also, what’s with Kirsten being like, “Oh, Dad, I’m mad but somehow I can forgive you for making my hobag stepmother/former friend the CEO of the company I’ve been running for you and saving your ass”?
Also, what’s with Sandy quitting his job to help Caleb? He doesn’t like Caleb that much! I guess that Sandy doesn’t like his job that much either. And he has that whole “root-for-the-underdog” deal going.

I have used the words “hobag” and “bone” as a verb. I think my work here is done.

Plus I have to go shave my legs! I’m going to a ball tonight!
