Not Yet

The OC ended and I hated that it did. Not the show—I love the show, the finale especially. I hated that it was over. I knew this day was coming, sure, but knowing and watching are different things. The finale went all in. They killed people you thought were untouchable. Kirsten and Sandy still tangled up. Ryan and Marissa uncertain. The Coopers in pieces. The show just stops there with nothing resolved, nothing answered, everything hanging.

I love this series. I know I’ll rewatch the whole run when the reruns start in January. I already know that about myself. I’m counting down to fall, to season three. There’s something about how The OC leaves you. It doesn’t resolve anything. It just cuts off and you’re sitting with all these people whose lives you’ve been inside, knowing nothing about what comes next. That’s what it does.
