The Oc Season 4 Episode 1 Soundtrack

Much of the 4th season of the series resembles what one could refer to as a 2nd rate CW/FOX series.
Many of the actors are talented and have chemistry together but the overall feel of the plot/subplots
is of a soap opera written for young teenagers. The only real reason I tried this series and afterwords
purchased the first 3 Seasons is that I really like Rachel Bilson who is sexy, playful, and a talented
actress who even when put in ridiculous situations you can't help but fall in love with. Chris Pratt's
character is so stupid and outrageous and he commits to his role that you characterize it as good acting
even though the plots involving him are always SNL spoof like. Regardless I have to admit in every
episode I usually get a good laugh or two unexpectedly-something as simple as Seth making
a silly video of animal whale pool floats. While the characters often talk about attending elite
schools like Brown, Cal Berkeley etc... I never see them studying academic subjects.
It also is somewhat annoying how the plots/subplots are contrived so that all the characters always
end up in Orange County when logic suggests they should be elsewhere, and the resolution of all
problems is self contained within or comes full circle within the limited permutation of characters.
As a final thought when you see the flip phones it makes you realize the series is 15 years old and
when you hear the theme California Here We Come do you ask yourself is this a catchy or
just annoying song?
