After Chapter 65 – The rumored bonfire.

Previously: Hardin begs for another chance by touching and dragging Tessa without consent. — Marines: Dear readers, over sixty painful chapters ago we heard about a bonfire. Across sixty or so...

Gilmore Girls S01 E09 – Out all night.

Gilmore Dinner. Emily tells Rory that Richard is bringing her something super special from Prague. Rory is excited about this and talks about an ex-cell, now hostel she would like to stay at. Lorelai is paying half attention because she's picking out avocados from her dish. This gets Lorelai and Emily snipping at each other, and it doesn't end when Emily asks Rory about the upcoming formal. Rory didn't mention it to either of them, but Emily read it in the Chilton Newsletter, which she thought it was only right to receive a copy of, being a major contributor of Rory's education. This only earns a mild eyeroll from Lorelai, though I feel like in the past (all 8 episodes lol) that may have earned a full on meltdown.

The OC S04 E08 – Pizza Prostitution

Seth and Ryan are at a gas station while Seth is simultaneously washing bugs off his windshield and being interrogated by Ryan.
Ryan is asking what's going on and Seth snarks that it's New Year's Eve and they're on their way to Las Vegas. Ryan's all like, "I know," but I'm like silly Ryan, that wasn't for you! That was for us, your loyal viewers. Good exposition, show!
Apparently what Ryan was really asking was why the girls are acting so strange. Seth kinda verbally shrugs and Ryan says he thinks that he's lying.

The OC S04 E04 – Suck it, Starlord

Hello! I am so very excited and honored to be writing for Snark Squad! Seriously thank you, Mari for letting me do this. And now I am so sorry for the endless parade of stupid you're all about to read. Blame it on my youth y'all! Also blame it on the fact that I have never seen the OC ever in my life. When the OC was in its prime, I was still singing along happily to Hannah Montana. (M: That makes me feel a wee bit old, in that strange, almost 30 kind of way...)(R: You're not old! I'm young!) On with the recap!

The OC S03 E24 – Hugs (and Punches), Not Drugs

Hello, Snark Squadders near and far! My name is Chelsea and I am unicorn-and-wizard staves over the moon to be writing for the venerable establishment that is Snark Squad! The ladies have let me come to you today to recap season three, episode twenty-four. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves… My love for The O.C. started when I found out that Adam Brody was the epitome of my adolescent sexual fantasies, and ended when Marissa tried to kind of sort of be a lesbian? Either way, it’s been a while!

The OC S03 E23 – Why are teenagers so dramatic? Because they aaargh!

Hi everyone, time for the potted history of The OC and me- I LOVE this show! At age 17, this was my life. I laughed, I cried, I flunked my AS levels due to bingeing on the boxsets instead of studying. I even wrote an article about it for my school magazine entitled “The OC: why we’ve all gone Obsessive Compulsive over Orange County.” I’m actually not allowed to watch any of the dramatic episodes, or the final episode, because I cry so much that my sister always rushes in from wherever she is to see if I’ve finally impaled myself on one of the glass swans that my parents are so fond of. (I’m very clumsy, it could happen.)

The OC S03 E22 – Misunderstandings waiting to happen.

Hello friends! I'm super excited to guest recap for my internet idols, the lovely Snark Ladies, especially since I, like so many of my predecessors, have never seen this show before. Away we go!
After the previouslies, we open with Ryan carrying a duffel bag into what I can only assume is a palace – no, wait, it appears to be the Cohens’ house. (M: 75% of that house is imaginary and unusable anyway.) He goes to the kitchen, where Seth is chilling out with his own duffel bag. He eyes Ryan’s luggage: “You taking all that? You only own like a wifebeater and 2 hoodies.” Ryan says he doesn’t know what you’re supposed to pack for a prospective student weekend, so he just threw everything in.

The OC S03 E21 – Walls are for squares

Hello, everyone! It's me, you're O.C. newbie back again to recap an episode of a show that I do not understand and that scares me a little. Just as a refresher, I have seen two episodes of this show ever including this one. So I'm a Snow here in the vast, uncharted wilderness of teen angst.
This episode did not start with any previouslies. It was just a very abrupt shot of their house. So abrupt that I had to pause it and calm down and get a glass of orange juice it was very taxing, you guys.

The OC S03 E19 – It Could Happen

I must preface this recap with my usual ‘I have no idea what’s going on’ disclaimer. I’ve done a few OC recaps now, but I haven’t kept up with what’s been happening between each one. I hope you find my confusion charming and endearing.
We kick things off at a nightclub. Summer and Seth are watching Ryan and some girl… wait, is that Rosalie from Twilight? It totally is! Weird. OK, I’ve looked her up and her name is Sadie.
Marines: She's been around for a few episodes but every time I see her face, I go "wait, is that Rosalie from Twilight..?!" Weird forever.

The OC S03 E14 – The Episode That Broke My Hate Barrier

I have to start off by saying that I know that Willa Holland was Kaitlin Cooper long, long before she was Thea Queen on the Arrow, but to me, she will always be Oliver Queen's little sister.
Marines: I hope she's a better person on that show.
GFM: She isn't, sadly. But she does wield swords, so.
Okay, now that I've got that out of the way, on to the recap.
We open on Sandy Eyebrows Cohen storming into Ryan’s pool house wearing an amazing bathrobe. He wakes Ryan up, in a panic because Seth is ‘gone’.

The OC S03 E11: Operation Free Marissa.

First off, like so many guest recappers, I have to admit this is the only episode of the O.C. I've ever seen. Everything I know about the show comes from reading Snark Squad posts, which basically means I'm pretty sure this is a show about Sandy Cohan's Eyebrows being the paradigm of good parenting, and also trying to interpret what Ryan and Marissa's expressions mean. (M: Damn, we've done a good job of capturing the essentials!)
ANYWAY, we open with the staring foursome drinking “mocktails” and having a meta conversation about winter break and the show – I mean school – starting back up.

Charmed S02 E13 – Manimals are people too!

College. (S: UGH. WHY?) Phoebe is in a class where the professor is talking about some mating rituals, because of course. Because if we're going to see Phoebe in a class, it's obviously going to be a class about mating rituals.
There is this dude with hedgehog hair (S: Now they're just going out of their way to cast men with the worst hair.) in the class who keeps giving Phoebe LOOKS. She returns them and does a little hair flipping. Behind her, some girls start giggling about something and Phoebe asks what's up with her study group having fun with out her.

The OC S03 E08 – College or bust.

he gang is getting ready to fill out college applications you guys! They're growing up right before our eyes despite already having gone through most college like experiences in high school.
Mari: And already looking like 20 year olds! But, okay, college time.
Ginny: Summer of course picks the school catalog where the two girls on the cover “look happy”. Marissa seems a little down and Seth attempts to cheer everyone up by reminding everyone that hey at least they will all be getting out of Newport and maybe they'll even experience seasons! I mean having parties and money and good weather all time is rough guys. Seasons are not as fun as you'd think Seth.
