"We’re having a very Britney Christmas, mother."
Not only was there a new episode of the OC this week in the midst of so many other hiatuses, it sounds like we're getting one NEXT week, too. Fox is actually making me happy with their scheduling choices for once. Huh.
This year's Chrismukkah episode was no Season 1 Chrismukkah (that one's hard to match), and not really quite as good as some of the past few episodes, but it had some great moments. Sure, the "Wonderful Life" theme as shown through coma dreams is kind of a cheesy and overdone idea, but some great details helped save the premise, like Che and Julie carrying on a hilarious affair and Summer as a total bimbo.
Back in actual reality, the Cooper girls kind of stole the show with some great banter about going home to their less affluent relatives for Christmas. Also excellent was Julie threatening Veronica Townsend to get her to the hospital to support her daughter, proving that she can use her powers of manipulation for good. She continues to be one of the best things about this show, and even Kaitlin is starting to grow on me.
But what really brought a sense of true Chrismukkah spirit to last night's OC was seeing the entire group crowded around Ryan at the end as he woke up. Now THAT'S how you're supposed to do Chrismukkah in the OC. Awww.
