The O.C. Season 3 Discussion
Just finished watching the first Ep of Season 3 and I quite enjoyed it.

I started watching it, but the copyright notice all over the bottom of the screen bugged me too much.  I'll wait until tomorrow instead.

So what is the Jeri Ryan character up to? Is she crushing on KiKi, perhaps to stalker-lez proportions?
They sure did hit the reset button for the most part by the end of the episode to clear the slate and have the "teen" characters in their place for their senior year. Last season had the 2 pairs of couple trying to stay away from each other, but this year it seems they are ready to commit to one another. Will this make it a ho-hum season?

I liked how they wrapped up last season in one episode. For a moment I was afraid they were going to drag out the whole "Ryan in jail" bit for a few episodes.

Good episode to finish the cliffhangers. Some reviewers said it didnt have enough humor. Well someone was shot, someone died and someone went into Rehab in the 2nd season finale. The first episode back wasnt going to be back to normal. Looking forward to see what happens now.

I was disappointed to see Jimmy Cooper turn to the dark side. I just want to know why Julie Cooper isn't under investigation for blackmail?

Probably because an episode of this show is written in half an hour, seemingly with no rewrites or thinking behind any of it?
If Julie would have convinced Trey to lie, Marissa would have been charged with perjury. No, wait, not in this show. Nothing would have happened.
Why did the guys go sailing right AFTER Trey woke up, the man they wanted to have on their side so he would tell the truth? Shouldn't they have visited him at the hospital right away?
And of course, Trey leaves, just like all the other secondary characters. How long do you give Jeri Ryan? 4 episodes? 3?

I was HOPING they would. How about taking it all to court, instead of solving it right away with a hand-written note? Besides, I know the writers are lazy, but there was no way Trey's charge that Ryan shot would have held up in court, there was WAY too much technical evidence to disprove it. According to the show, a couple of months had passed, I am sure they had the results of the tests on Marissa that I assume were taken, that would show she was the shooter. Case closed. But this show is so craptastically written that it of course doesn't matter.
Really, how the hell can they have a soap with a lawyer as on eof the main characters and NOT be in a court room at least SOMETIMES? There are so many wasted opportunities in this show it's a shame.

Shhh, no one tell MickeS that this is a soap. I know you mention it, and perhaps it is less clean than most soaps. However, it is a soap, we all know that, and we are enjoying the ride.
Especially those who live in the spot they do and experience nothing that happens on the show :-).

Well, overall I do enjoy the show though, otherwise I wouldn't be watching.
I liked the "go ahead, put it on iTunes" comment from Seth about his testimony.
The guy who played Trey was a good actor. Hope he comes back!

pretty crappy -- the same stuff over, and over, and over, and over again.
Jeri Ryan is now going to get it on with Kirsten? Fox is really desperate.
