netflixation: The obsession comes full circle

So I never really did watch The O. C. when it was on. But now I've netflixed it and I'm almost thru season 1. If you were obsessed with the show, I wrote one post about it 2 years ago, linking to the great writing about the show on another blog.

Now I'm in the thick of it, getting hooked on the soapy adventures of Seth and Ryan back in that wild, wild year 2003. I know that Marissa dies in season 3, but I have to say that I can't wait for it to happen. Misha Barton is the weak link on the show--her odd, jerky head tics are so distracting that I barely notice now what she is saying--my eyes just fixate on her avian motions.

Disc 7, the last of season one, should arrive tomorrow. I'm debating whether or not to write any more about this. Is it pathetic enough just admitting that I'm into this show? Would I make it intolerably worse for myself by blogging about a show that isn't even on TV anymore? Since I have a readership of exactly 1 does this even matter?
