Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That article about Hallelujah contains this awesome paragraph:

The most prominent example is Imogen Heap, someone who I, at least, had not heard of since a cassingle was mailed to me in 1998. But Heap's song "Hide and Seek" soundtracked the final moments of the OC's second season, the slot occupied a year before by a full rendition of Buckey's "Hallelujah." This pairing was so successful that, for the finale of season three, the final moments were accompanied, once again, by Heap, this time covering --and, to be clear, I am not shitting you--"Hallelujah." This is the point where the OC consumes itself whole, and it is a sickeningly gorgeous thing to watch.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Seriously. Who do you chuck?! F Cary Grant, I'm pretty sure, but I don't know who to M.

Henry Fonda wasn't a terribly good husband or father according to most of what I've read. Jimmy Stewart supposedly slept around a lot while he was single, but once he got married he was supposedly Mr. Monogamy. Of course they were bachelor roommates for a while in their early Hollywood days (though not in the Cary Grant/Randolph Scott sense of the concept) and lifelong friends (Jane Fonda has an oft-repeated story of seeing a drunk Jimmy Stewart dressed as Santa Claus trying to help decorate the Fonda Xmas tree on a step ladder and completely falling off the ladder and into the tree).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's that song they used on the OC when Marisa shot Ryan's brother?
