stay away from my girlfriend, bitch!

Adam Brody is a comical genius. I love how easy it was to write Zach out of the show (what, did he just never come back from Italy or something?) and to rewrite Seth & Captain Oats back into Summer’s life.

How is that Marissa hasn’t even been to school in like 6 episodes or more and suddenly she was leader of the pep rally? And why didn’t I ever do fun stuff like have bonfires on the beach when I was in high school? High school in downtown Manhattan, it’ll get you every time.

One of the best non-Seth scenes this episode was the one where Julie Cooper walks into Sandy’s office and plops a copy of The Porn Identity on his desk. The look on his face in that scene was just classic. Oh, Billy Campbell = hot. “Lance” = also hot. Although I think one of his arms was the size of my thigh, and that is just frightening.

Tough girl Alex throwing a can of beer at Ryan was my second favorite non-Seth scene. I thought for sure she was going to sucker punch Ryan. But I guess she realized that even though she was tough enough to shove him, she wasn’t tough enough to beat him up, so she shows up with her cohorts to have them do it instead. Now THAT’S classy. I give her one more episode, tops. And that’s generous, because we all know this show likes to cut the cord as quick as possible when they write characters off.

I tried to watch the Apprentice, but you know how at the beginning of each episode they do “previously on the apprentice…”? Well, this “special” episode they had on with supposed “never seen before clips” was basically an entire hour of previouslies. Lame. So I watched the Starlet instead. But it was not nearly as entertaining as the previous episode I saw. I guess because there was no making out with teddy bears and no awkward lesbian action.

And why is it that Seth, Summer, Marissa, and Ryan are only friends with each other? What happened to ALL of Summer & Marissa's friends from the first season (when they used to party all the time)?? ahh, bonfire...that is exactly why we should ALL move to california so our kids can enjoy what us east coasters never got to...even I'll start wearing wife beaters (to work)
