Review
I knew it! Last episode the tune didn’t seem to
fit what I thought it was, they’ve changed it
again, they got rid of a California. Why can’t
they just stop messing with the title screen I mean
Sopranos have stuck with the same one for five series
and yet the O.C. has changed it twice.
But enough about my insecurities of change. To an extent
I knew what was coming this episode as I had already
heard rumours of pregnancy due to the way our modern
society makes it impossible to avoid all spoilers. For
once it wasn’t line by line predictable although
it was see thru enough.
Why quite Seth, Ryan and Summer actually paid up rather
than just running for it I am not quite sure but overall
it was quite an entertaining episode. I missed the days
when I was finding it hard to type during the episode
as my hands were shaking from excitement; the episode
brought a lot of memories of when I first started watching
it – so cool episode.

in Vegas, stays in Vegas”

Sandy: “I do love the Vegas”
