Not that I'm obsessed: The O.C. Again.

[rsadelle]

The O.C. continues to be my favorite new show. I'm so in love with it! And now Television Without Pity is recapping it, which makes it even better. Joanne (TWoP's O.C. recapper) noticed the Sandy/Ryan subtext: "But Sandy doesn't care about Trey! He cares about Ryan! A lot! Perhaps excessively! Perhaps excessively in a potential child molester sort of way!"

What's most confusing to me is the way everyone compares Benjamin McKenzie to Russell Crowe. Russell was never that cute, or that relaxed. He would never have been able to pull off the kind of easy love Ryan has for Seth or the gentle intensity of Ryan's relationship with Marissa.

The most frustrating thing about The O.C. is that no one else is watching it. Well, that's not entirely true. Two of my friends are watching it (we even got together to watch it on Tuesday), but they're not fangirls. One of them offered to gush with me about it, but I'm sure he doesn't want to hear my semi-cheesy mini-bunny about Ryan, Seth, and Marissa having matching rings and deciding it's time to have kids and Ryan writing his will so they'll be taken care of if anything happens to him.

An extra reason to watch: Marissa's bitch of a mother is played by Melinda Clarke, who played Lady Heather on CSI.

If you still haven't seen it, there's still hope! Its usual time slot is 9pm Tuesday, and it's also rerunning Fridays at 8pm and Mondays at 9pm.

If I can't watch it, at least I can read the recaps on TWoP! Yay!

But you miss out on so much! You can't see how they look at each other or how Seth and Ryan are practically holding hands while in their separate floating chairs in the pool or how Ryan backs away from Marissa when he tells her that if she stays the night, he'll never be able to leave.
