I was surprised that The O.C. was actually pretty good.
Yeah, I know. The opener was kind of boring, and unbelievable (really, NO ONE at the police department or DAs office is willing to believe to Marissa's confession ... um, okay.) but it wasn't near the levels of suckage of last season.
I'm still angry that every damn character I like is written off, but at least Marissa didn't suck as much as usual.
Zach, I won't miss. But Lindsay was pretty good and way better with Ryan than Marissa, and Alex I hugely miss (that is the Alex from every episode except her last one, where the character I knew was no where to be found). The writers suck getting rid of all of the supporting teen characters. I STILL miss Anna and Luke.
And yeah, Marissa has actually been likeable this season so far. What with the complete lack of tantrum throwing and taking responsibilty for her actions and whatnot. Which is good! Mischa is SO much better at playing sympathetic characters. I remember why I used to like her pre-OC now. Plus, she's looking much better these days dressed down. In the last scene of episode 2 she looked gorgeous.
I loved Lucy Lawless on BSG! I wan't sure if I would when I heard about her being on the show, but when I watched the episode...wow, that was so great!
Yeah, I wasn't sure how much I'd like Lucy on the show either. But almost from her first scene all of my concerns were gone and I was able to settle in and enjoy. I hope we get to see more Xylon models during the winter season. I thought the character was great, and there's definately a lot of things they can do with her (I'd especially love to see a scene with her and Sharon).
Oh, I remember "Darkness". The only reason I watched it was Anna Paquin, because I'm a HUGE Anna fan and I just had to see this movie. Plus, Lena Olin! But you're right, it's baaaaad!
*Shudder* The pain is still so fresh *whimpers* So, horribly bad. I had to keep on reliving kick ass Irina Derveko moments as the movie ran to renew my Olin love. Seriously, she played the worst mother ever in Darkness, and considering she play Irina Derveko that's saying something, lol.
