Can't This Family Go One Week Without a Crisis? - 
by J-Unit
We're sure that at least some of you were wondering what happened to The OC this past week. Truth be told, this show has been fairly enjoyable for the last couple of months and the season finale this week looks like it will be a good one. Whenever The OC strings together three or four good episodes, the talk is usually about how amazing it is that there were three good episodes in a row, instead of about the episode itself, so I've decided to buck the trend and leave that kind of hand wringing for others. We have too much to celebrate this week to let such things get in our way. Summer and Seth are back together, Marissa goes on a little road trip to visit her sister, and Sandy is named Man of the Year!
When Ryan beat up Volchok last week, I thought that perhaps we had finally seen the last of that scrawny surf Nazi. Whatever happened to the middle class in this town? Isn't there anything between the people who are famous lawyers, doctors, and real estate moguls and the people that are living in a trailer park or stealing from high school kids to pay the rent? Isn't there anybody who like manages a Boston Market or Target or something? I guess it's not that exciting to hear about the intricacies of rotisserie chicken and the benefits of your one-hour parking validation.
The only problem with Ryan beating up Volchok is that he seems to have done too good of a job at the whole thing. Well, that and the stupid let's pretend to be JJ Abrams editing at the beginning of the episode. Despite what some people say, I don't think it's a stretch to see Ryan pounding Volchok in like that. As somebody said, Volchok is all abs and not much else. He doesn't really have a height advantage on Ryan, definitely doesn't have a weight advantage, and without his goons around, hasn't demonstrated he is good at anything, including surfing.
Ooooh, red lights must mean DANGER
Although Ryan enjoyed beating him up, he still feels compelled to take him to the hospital. Just in case you couldn't tell Ryan beat him badly, the paramedics were asking questions like "do you see the guys who did this?" and "it looks like you have been beaten by a baseball bat." There also happens to be a bunch of police there, and so Ryan is worried about sticking around. As he gets up to leave, Volchok miraculously comes out of his fist-induced coma and says "meet me at my place tomorrow, this isn't over." Ugh, I wish they would just throw this kid in jail and call him Tweener and be done with this story line.
Earlier this year, The OC made big news with the return of Kaitlin Cooper, and for a little while, she caused a bit of a stir. We all wondered how she was going to continue to pay for her tuition at her exclusive school with her mom still walking around her house worrying that a man named Gus may be looking through the window of her trailer as she washed the ketchup stains out of her favorite Van Halen t-shirt, but Julie managed to marry up yet again, and now Kaitlin's tuition problems are only a matter of a few hours of sucking fat out of a Newpsie's ass.
