Valediction

And so, as must all things come to pass, The O.C. died last night. What makes it particularly poignant is that I didn't even notice. It wasn't in the diary as a must-see - the last. ever. OC.

Instead, I got home and frantically watched Grey's to see if Meredith was to die. Sadly, she didn't. That was disappointing.

Anyway, the wondrous Gawker had this, strangely straight and not cynical review of the last ever episode, which points out just why it was great and how it had become bloated and, quite frankly, rubbish. Although I am a tad disappointed, I must confess, that the review wasn't just a bit snarkier (in its normally gloriously snarky way). I think what really made the programme rubbish was its failure to keep Julie Cooper as the truly brilliant, yet understandable, villain she was in the first series. As TWoP says, Team Julie Forever!
