Hmm. The OC hasn't been even remotely funny this ep so far (and I don't expect that to change in the next two minutes -- ohh! gun!,) but I think they're doing really well at hitting emotional notes.
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

Art Crawl!!!
I know, ita. I mean, I kind of prefer The OC to be funny but I'm not sure how it would have worked in this episode.

move out and draw fire
Oh, shrift, my sympathies. That's terribly hard.
Deena, lots of health-ma for your father.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Congrats, Ouise!
Happy belated birthday, Corwood!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm just gonna copy -t for a minute here:
Congrats, Ouise!

It's rainy here. NOT condusive to the long walk I was going to take.
And I finally "got" that the Matchbox Twenty guy and the Veronica Mars guy do have the same name. But are not, presumably, the same person.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The OC was definitely not funny, but I liked how they handled the emotional stuff.
I do wonder at Julie's denseness, to think that shacking up with her ex the day after her husband who was about to divorce her three days before their prenup expired won't look just a wee bit suspicious. But I guess if she was going to be a murder suspect, it would have come up this ep.

I watched CSI. And then ER because...well, I don't know why. And then the OC. Conclusions: avoid ant infested decks and guns. And Sandy's eyebrows are getting increasingly distracting. Oh and why shoot Trey? Why not just bash him over the head with something heavy? I know, plotwhatever, but lame.

sarameg, you forget that Marissa is lame.

Well, that and she and her mom seem to have an unhealthy affinity for guns. Jules just plots better.
And that line from Alias in you tag made me laugh and laugh and laugh. She fell out of that character a few times while playing it, but when she was in it? Heeheehee.

Better? I don't think Marissa can plot, period.
eta: That scene in Alias, and the one with the comms on cracked me up. Great writing this week.
