California Streaming

Oooh, someone totally dies on tonight's O.C. finale. If you want to know who read this Gawker post. If you don't, you should probably avoid the comments to this entry. I hope there's a funeral scene where they play something totally inappropriate and shitty like the Vines.

We'll miss you character who shall go unnamed -- here's a somber take on your theme song:

Phantom Planet - "California (Acoustic)" (MP3 Link Expired)

I hope they kill off the entire cast. That show needs to die. It makes my home county look terrible :P

I couldn't resist and all I can say is ahahahahahaha. I've actually been watching this season and I can only say that I'm completely apathetic to this twist. Its obvious the writers are trying to kill the show, since its already been confirmed that mischa's tv sister, caitlin, has a spinoff about her "misadventures" at school. They've been leading up to it for a while, with the introduction of her friends, enemies etc. Oh well

mischa barton finally dies. that's who. she's at the mall, and gets into a cat fight over a pair of prada heels, and gets pummelled to death in the head. The End.

Do you think she was the cameraman for MTV in the news story above? Perhaps the blood boiled her skin and a mini-alien popped out of her stomach...then Cisco Adler stole her wallet.

Heard about her getting written out a few months back as she wants to pursue a film career - apparently.

Good. I hated her. I stopped watching after the second season because it lost its awesome music nerd vibe and was all "sex, shopping, and mischa being really annoying!" I love Phantom Planet, thanks for posting this MP3!

A cover of Hallelujah? Didn't they play the original during the first season finale? There are other songs out

A lot of the things in this episode made things from the first episode come full circle. The cover of Hallelujah is just another example. Ever notice the OC logo? the C almost completes a second cirle yet another reference to things coming full circle.

And personally I just wanted this to be the series finale. Shows, like bands and movie franchises, need to know when to quit.

almost every episode this year included a cover song, which was maybe a nice way of the soundtrack people acknowledging the writers' repetition of previous storylines.

yes, everything has lined up for we've all been waiting three seasons for:

finally, seth & ryan do it.

(come on, don't pretend you haven't noticed the sexual tension,
it's been there since the very first episode. )
