And they played a really harsh, beautiful, acapella cover of "Hallelujah" that made it more wrecking
of course they did *weepz for poor Ryan who has now SO MUCH ANGST AND HEARTBREAK come here puppy*
See, this works. It's sort of like Cedric dying in HP4 the movie. It's huge and heartbreaking and takes our trio to a new place and really affects our hero, but it's not a saga-stopping, Wash-killing, fandom-betraying moment. Except for all those chicks who identify with Marissa. in which case they have bigger problems.
ETA: Oh, yeah. That did the trick. Nothing like a good old fashioned soap-opera-dramedy inspired crying jag to release the pent-up crap.
Reason #5 to watch the OC. The sailing away bit always did me good too, to quote David Webster.
I'm going to see if I can track down the artist for that song. OMG, it's Imogen Heap!
Poor Ryan. Of course, there was much flashing back and juxtaposing of Ryan carrying Marissa away from various other near-tragic accidents. And you're right about why Marissa works. And I choked on my cereal over your very valid point that the girls who are losing thier shit over it probably didn't have a firm grasp on it to begin with. God, I'm glad I'm not 14-18 anymore.
I have a few standbys for the I-need-a-good-cry fix. I was so grateful the night season 1 ended and I realized I had a new one.
Except that I am deterred (note the use of all three 'e's showing my deterredness) because apparently everyone things Jeff Buckley is actually Imogen Heap. Which, sure, he's got the falsetto going on, but come on people!
Sigh. *prefers the Buckley version, musically, but really wanted to flash cool sad music at you*
Having seen Ms. Heap on Leno the other week, I can understand the confusion. /is meanie!
I'm wondering though if Season 4 of the show will be the same. I have a feeling this could actually be the segue to the "whole new cast of kids" they've been talking about, centering on the devious Caitlin. I hope I'm wrong, but unless the Survivors (sob) go on a gap year to mourn the loss of their Princess, like, how?
Everything I've been reading has been pointing toward the segue. Seth's not going away to school until January will help ease things in, but I do think we're headed toward The Caitlin Era.

Hallelujah by Imogen Heap
and
To All of You by Syd Matters
