So this week is the series finale of the O.C, it hit me about a week ago that the show was ending, and while im saddened at it's premature death on it's IMO best season I atleast know the second tv family ive had will go out on a beautiful goodbye.
Ive come to realize that what attracts me to this show so much isnt the fact that they live in this ideallyic beach that is filled with tons of rich drama, but rather the family aspects of the show. Sandy and Kirsten are the kinds of parents i want to be. The kind that can make mistakes and still be "perfect" because no human truly is perfect. Even as adults we get scared, lose control and need help from our loved ones.
I think that is an aspect of the O.C not many people see. Everyone see's the cliche drama, lesbian shit, marissa dieing whatnot...but at it's core the show is about people and family and the way they work around life's problems (no matter how ridiculous or real) they are. They live life the way we do, depressed to no end one second and excited beyond beleif the next. I also love that as the characters grow and realize thier own mistakes and grow up, i get to reflect upon it with myself and question if i need this "growing up".
For the O.C the end is here, but for me and many of us who are fans of the o.c the end isnt even close.
"say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in"
more o.cness in finale week later
