This was kind of a crappy episode. The scene where Summer was like “Hey Zach, let’s take it to the next step” and he was all “Mom will be so excited!” was pretty awesome, but then it went downhill from there. Summer strikes out with Zach’s smart family because she’s shallow and doesn’t know about news? Boring angle.
Also, the Ryan and Lindsay thing: I hate to say it, is kind of boring already. I mean, they like each other, yeah, but NOTHING IS HAPPENING TO THEM. They’ve been doing this awkward “We like each other, but it’s not that easy” dance since the beginning of school. Furthermore, what was up with that shirt at the beginning? With the boobs?
Speaking of which, Ryan doesn’t seem to have told Lindsay about Teresa yet. Boy is she going to be surprised when that whole baby thing comes back to haunt him.
DJ breaks up with Marissa? Because she’s using him to piss off her mom? Big shocker. If Julie hadn’t basically told him that she was just using him to piss her off, it might have at least proved that he could form thoughts. Yeah, I won’t miss him.
And okay, can I just say Seth and Alex really HAVE NO CHEMISTRY. I don’t usually complain about couples on shows having no chemistry but I keep waiting to see it and I keep not seeing it. That line where Seth was all “When I’m around her I feel like I have to prove I’m good enough to be around her” was pretty good.
And the party? At the end? With everyone on the show gathered to share warm feelings and tie up loose ends? And Sandy sings a song (not embarrassingly, but not that well, and I would love to praise Sandy for just about anything)? And the whole rest of the cast all sways in time with their arms over each others’ shoulders, showing how happy they are? Weak, The OC. Weak.
