Ah, the way they were.

But what’s as good as ever was Seth-Ryan time in the poolhouse, complete with Ben’s wry deadpan delivery of, “Yeah, we’re not going to school.”  Those two had such a rapport and rhythm, the only hint of Ben’s comedic abilities until we hit S4 and Taylor Townsend, such fun.  But anything was fun after S3-

Not to forget - the morning in the kitchen with the motherly kiss on the cheek for both boys and Ryan reacting like it was the most normal thing in the world.

Episode 2.2 has lots of small details, that I enjoy every time again when I rewatch.

"....Ryan reacting like [Kirsten's kiss] was the most normal thing in the world."

Ah! I am remiss. Even trying to keep moving my 'ketchup' along, that sweet, homey moment is worth noting. Thanks for bringing it back to mind. *grin* Yes, overall a very good episode.

Precious, too, is Ryan’s appeal to Summer, especially his reaction to the pink room and the offer of the satin ‘pouf’ as chair. Then Summer’s unwitting inclusion that Marissa had moved on, spurring Ryan’s unannounced visit and discovery of DJ.

I adored the Ryan/Summer scene, one of the things I love about the show is the character contrasts, Newport and Chino, rich and less well-off, geek and...not-geek *heh*. In this case it's the broodiness of Ryan entering the fluffy pink world of Summer that amused me so much! :D

Hope you don't mind if I post a few comments as well. I'm also a bit behind on the posting, if not just say the word and I'll delete :).

The Way We WereMarissa, silly silly girl. As much as I love you, could you never do that whiney crying thing again? Dramatic crying just doesn’t suit the girl.

Hi again! *waves*

I haven't been posting all that long myself, but I think as long as you're generally on topic doing this here is fine....if I'm wrong I'm confident the more experienced LJ'ers will gently correct me. *smile*

But it would also be great to post it straight to ocitagain and more folk might see it. Or is the 'new kid on the block' feeling a bit shy? [argh, horrible pun, couldn't resist- *grin*]

Anyway, can't comment back more right now but wanted you to know I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts thoroughly. Byee for now.

Haha, no I'm not feeling all that shy - and no, not a horrible pun :D Thanks for the advice, I think I may take it on board :)

Instead of commenting with words, I shall comment with a picture. I think it sums up the whole episode!

[oc_gambit2]

Yeah, that was a good moment- thanks! : ]
