I think casting descriptions in general sound horrible. It's like trying to sum up your favourite character in three sentences. "His parents were murdered when he was a kid, and now he dresses up at night as a bat and hunts down criminals. He's also a millionaire, and he's raising a young kid whose parents died at the circus. NO, IT'S AWESOME, I SWEAR."
Ben McKenzie. I still hold that if Dad had let me go to UVA, we would have had classes together and fallen in love and gotten married and I could be going to law school at like, UCLA or something. *sulk*
ITA about the casting descriptions. Especially the one poor girl character whose whole summary is like, "She's a brat! A spoiled brat! But she gets better, we swear!" I mean talk about doomed from the start. :P
Ben McKenzie is pretty much the only reason to continue watching the OC after the first season. Especially when he hooks up what's her face in the last season, because he can be really hilarious.
I'm a little worried that the other seasons will horrify me. I am terribly curious to see Olivia Wilde as a blonde, though. And making out with Marissa Cooper. But mostly, yeah, I'm in it for Ben McKenzie. Maybe I can borrow the seasons I don't have....
He has really great expressions. Especially the sweet grin when Seth does something embarrassing in front of the parents.
Yesss, the Seth/Ryan is particularly strong in the first season. I think I stopped watching at the start of the third season, because I really couldn't stand Marissa (or maybe I just couldn't stand Mischa Barton?), but then I started up again in Season Four.
Honestly, I liked Marissa a lot better when I knew she would die later. Like, I saw part of the first season and then I learned she died, and then whenever I watch it again, I just kind of feel bad for her, because she was so messed up and she was such a huge part of Ryan growing up. Of course I'm saying this with only one real season of the break up/make up game. I remember the first time, I was all, "Seriously? She's going out with someone else? Again? He hasn't kicked her to the curb yet?"
Also, seriously, why was not EVERYONE wanting to sleep with Anna Stearns? She was my favorite girl character in the whole thing.
