The Return of the Thursday Night TV Report
The Thursday Night TV Report is back...
The OC has become a ratings craving dick tease over the past three weeks.
But I still have to like it. While they dangle the Marissa/Alex affair in front of our faces and tease us with the possibility of Sandy hooking up with Rebecca while we all scream no and now, most recently, with the resurgence of the Seth and Summer chemistry, they are still able to throw in some snappy, witty dialogue.
Caleb Nichol pulled perhaps maybe the quickest "near death experience epiphany" off while the writers squirted the cheese out of the can on to the cracker that is Lindsay.
But I think I was right in my last entry about the OC, that the last three episodes are all building to a great one next week.
What do we have to look forward to? Kirsten v. Rebecca, Kirsten v. Sandy, Marissa and Alex, Summer and Seth, Julie Cooper is due to fuck some shit up, Ryan will have a low key episode while he fascilitates some more heart break for Lindsay at the hands of Caleb. Is his epiphany legit, and if it is, does it last and what does that mean for the future of Julie Cooper? Will Summer's boyfriend become strictly kitchen table fodder for her while Seth takes on poolhouse convo status. I think so, but not for 2-3 episodes, just in time for Seth to have to choose between comic book and Summer.
Ah, tune in next week, same OC time, same OC channel.
Sorry, that was cheesy as hell.
And CSI:
Sara is losing it. Grissom wants her, Catherine doesn't. The Team is split and needs to re-unite. Remind to write about how CSI and the movie LA Confidential are similar.
I haven't heard anything, but this plotline and last summer's contract issues are setting up a perfect exit for Jorja Fox's character. Maybe she will kill somebody, you never know. They need to have a new episode with a great, classic CSI case.
I'm splitting for the weekend, but I can guarentee some entertaining stories come Sunday or Monday.
Until Then.
