The O.C. Series Finale

sephorablue · Marc Jacobs

I completely surprised myself by being TOTALLY SAD THE ENTIRE TIME. I seriously almost teared up, I couldn't believe it. Loved all the flash-forwards except Ryan's... for some reason the scene of him at the job site, carrying his blueprint, seemed really corny. I LOVED Sandy teaching law though, that's genius. Also loved Julie graduating from college.

OK yeah, I pretty much loved the entire thing except that scene with Ryan... I'm so sad!

ITA w/you sephorablue - loved Sandy teaching law, loved Ju Ju graduating college, I loved Seth and Summer getting married, but the end w/Ryan was SO corny!

Yup, i cried too- and i'm blaming my period as well!
I loved it even though i hated most of this season. But i watched just to see where they all ended up and thought it was a great episode.
I liked the flash forwards- even the Ryan part. Loved Sandy as a sexy law professor! And team Julie! It was weird though to have it be so far in the future (that daughter looked 6 or so) and have them all look exactly the same. Yes, they can't help that, but it made it hard to believe for me. Even in these 4 years they all look so much older now.

Unbelievable -- I'm having my period too! Seriously. And I did cry a little. Cornball that I am, I loved the whole thing, including the flash forwards and the one with Ryan. I actually thought it was kind of perfect. How cute were those baby bunnies?! I loved the gay couple who owned the house in Berkeley, esp. when Kirsten went into labor and the one said "So random, but I'm a midwife!" One example of what made that show so good and fun to watch.

I hadn't realized how much they'd grown up until the flashbacks at the end -- Ryan and Seth looked so young.

I never warmed up to Frank so I hated his storyline with Julie and I thought the house-buying storyline was super cheesy. I liked the rest of the show and thought the ending was perfect. I am so happy they kept Seth and Summer together. It just would have been wrong not to.

I am so bummed out that the show is over. The finale was great though even though I didn't like how they jumped into the future x2. But I guess it was neccessary in order to see how everyone ended up. I loved how Julie went to college and I loved the part with Ryan and the kid at the very end. It was weird to see how much Ryan and Seth had changed since the first episode!

I know! I never realized how young they looked! I loved the whole thing. Aww, especially when Ryan pulls the bunny out of his pocket... Mr. Flapjacks!

I'm going to miss it so much.

I loved the finale! It was corny, but the show was always a bit corny. I wasn't a huge fan of that last scene, though, because all I kept thinking was how no one taught that kid not to talk to strange men. They should have showed Ryan volunteering at a youth center or something instead. I was also surprised that there were very few references to Marissa -- I guess the producers are not huge Mischa fans. I missed a few parts because I watched on youtube-- what ended up happening with him & Taylor? They ended up longtime gf/bf? And were Bullitt AND Frank in the audience when Julie got her degree? I also wish we'd gotten a bit more closure with the Theresa thing.

I also LOVED the Bullitt family and the meta references to The Valley -- about the stars breaking up, and about how teen dramas go on too long. As sad as it is, I think it was a good time for the show to end.
