The O.C. (TV Series) The Earth Girls Are Easy (2006) User Reviews

only eight to go, and maybe that's a good thing

[RavenGlamDVDCollector · 7/10 · 6 December 2016]

I see the other two reviewers like it, so allow me to be the wet blanket.

(1) Ryan is, post-Marissa, an ineffectual fifth- wheel character, boring, and just in the way. I wasn't exactly thrilled with him from the beginning, but now... He has just been floating along. The romance with Taylor does not promise to make him more interesting. He appears shallow and dull. Oh, explanation! Cage fighter as he (ha-ha-ha!!) is, he took several knocks back at the start of the season, he is kinda brain-dead. Okay, clever subtext.

(2) Kirsten = Krystle in DYNASTY of yore. An almost regal main cast character who is little more than an ornament. Every now and then, something to make her come to the fore for a little while. Only for a little while. Nobody who've watched will refute what I just said.

Tonight's episode really shows up these two comments. Don't believe me, disagree? Look at it again.

Willa Holland is so darling, I would of course have signed up for a Fifth Season. But I am now spared having to watch boring old Ben...

Now, had it been Ryan who died when Volchek forced them off the road, had Marissa still been there, the show would have lasted for six or seven seasons...

The Earth Girls Are Easy (#4.8)

[ComedyFan2010 · 10/10 · 28 September 2014]

Ryan takes Taylor to Vegas for New Years and Seth with Summer join them. Summer is late on her period so she takes a pregnancy test but doesn't get to see the result as the purse is stolen. While on the quest to find the purse Seth and Summer have a fight as he thinks that it is Taylor's and voices his relief. At the end he proposes to Summer before they even see the result because he always wants to be with her. And the result is negative. Also Ryan's father shows us.

Well I must say, after the third season that wasn't as good as before this season really does have some great episodes. Just like this one. The whole thing with the pregnancy test was very intense and had some well thought through fights. Taylor's attitude towards women having sex is maybe a bit annoying but it is understandable as she is a young woman who was apparently religious before. And Ryan is pretty good with her. and omg, the proposal was great!! And the ending! I so didn't expect that it was Ryan's father.

WoW! exciting, thrilling, paced up. TheOC as we know it

WoW! This episode is amazing. It's so thrilling, suspense, emotional, heart wrenching and innovative and inspirational! While I was watching it I was able to shutdown everything around me and just focus on the characters and their troubles. I believe this to be only introduction for the even more SS drama and Ryan's drama. I read spoilers but I still haven't seen this coming! the OC deserves season 5 if the rest of the episodes is half as good as this one! This episode is incredibly well directed and that influenced the whole impression. It starts with Summer and Taylor in some public restroom over a pregnancy test and then it goes 7 hours earlier. I was surprised that Kandy didn't protest Seth waiting for Summer to go to College. The pragnency drama is maxed out and leaves us to a place we're not sure one of Sethummer wants to be. Brody did well, the freak out, the proposal, the whole thing. This episode is really paced up and it seems real and not predictable. When the test was out I wasn't sure even what I wanted it to be. Rayolor had some mild drama compared to SS but still worth watching. Grownups are so not the reasons I watch this show but I loved Julies drama and dilemmas.

I BOW TO JOSH AND CAST AND CREW for what I believe is one of the most amazing episodes this show had seen!
