Punch Drunk Love - 
by J-Unit
Last week, the writers of The OC spent the hour answering some of the cliffhanger-type questions that we had at the end of the last season. Needless to say, when they are forced to navigate their way through plot twists they had no intention of lasting that long (a lot of them, that's for sure), we are fed a lot of drama, but we usually end up feeling unsatisfied. What's frustrating is that the pieces are there for plenty of great stories, but we only have time to fully explore a few of them. The rest are kind of thrown at us and sometimes we really don't know what to make of it.
Last week, I tried to convince people that I enjoy this show and that I am recapping it for more reasons than wanting to use 5000 words to make fun of it for not being a good crime drama. I still say that if the writers are trying to play that game, they should at least pretend to have researched what they are writing about. But we are past that now, and I'll try not to obsess about it for the next nine months.
We start the episode with our usual breakfast banter, which we missed last week when Ryan was having flashbacks to the shooting. If there is any single reason why these three guys need Kirsten back in the house, it's that without her, they have turned into complete slobs. I haven't made my bed since I moved out of my parents' house, so I know the feeling. Some call it laziness, but I like to call it my attempt to challenge the traditional social constructs that suffocate western society. Look, I see no reason to make my bed. I am going to toss around the covers during the night anyway, and I'll probably eat just as many spiders in my sleep either way, so why bother, really?
