it wasn't supposed to end this way, oc

You: not even entirely through a fourth season. Me: two episodes behind and too busy to watch your series (SERIES!!) finale. We were supposed to grow old and gray together, OC.  We were supposed to get rich and go insane and waste our fortunes tracking Jimmy Cooper's schooner while the ghosts of Marissa, Johnny and Caleb  chased us to the ends of the earth. We were going to fight in cages and burn down houses and reminisce about doing it in mail trucks and set our mothers up with old coots named after artillery. And now...all is lost.

Ah well. We can always reminisce. In fact, lets.

After the jump, enjoy a link-filled retrospective on OandU and The OC. The end of an era. Weep, weep.
