when I first watched this ep I was so effing shocked and started to cry my eyes out! my mom thought I went wacko... you just can't do that! guess you can but it is no cool my friends.
Man, I still remember how pissed people were at this scene. :P I remember coming into my Calculus class the next day and pretty much ALL the girls were talking about it.
I don't think Marissa was killed because Josh wanted to reinvent the show. Josh can't be that stupid. I mean, killing off the second most important character & screwing up the main love story on the show - how the hell would that HELP the show in any way? Especially since the ratings were already really low in season 3. He had to have known the fans would be devastated & no one wants the O.C. w/ out Marissa. I think that was just a cover-up for Mischa leaving the show. I blame her. RIP MARISSA<3
I'm 14 so I was only 7 when this aired so I've been watching the seasons on DVD and I am hooked. So far I'm in season 1 and I searched the oc and this came up although it ruined the story I truly thank you so I don't watch this episode with anyone else because I wept like a baby as soon as the hallelujah chorus was sung.
ok that accident really wouldn't kill you (assuming you're wearing a seatbelt) You could sustain some internal bleeding, but not enough to kill you within minutes of the crash. if you went to the hospital right away, you'd be totally fine. just one more reason why the OC is retarded
dang i didn't know she died, i think i only made it to like season 2?? where she was into some other guy?? they shouldn't have killed her off, she was a dumb bitch just realizing what she had... (but she wanted to leave the show though.)
i love oc just bec marissa and ryan, they shoudnt kill marisa in the story. im still hoping that marisa will be back in the story. they will make a way just marisa back and make agood end of the story.
they should of ended season 3 with ryan dropping marissa off at the aiport and having a final kiss then season 4 should of been set a couple of years after that and then go from there because the whole point of killing marissa for josh was to try and reinvent the show like one tree hill did problem is it didnt work and its a shame because the oc is so much better than one tree hill
i still remember i cry when i watch this for the first time in dvd, it was in the evening in my room alone and rainy...i never cry when i watch movies or tv, but i dont know why i suddenly cry.. its so sad, its hard for me to watch season4 without marissa :'(
I'm not even really a fan of this show or this couple but that was tragic. Seeing a clip of them at the beginning and then it fading to their last moments is heartbreaking. I feel for the Ryan/Marissa fans cause if it's that sad for me and I don't care, I can't imagine how annoying/depressing it must be for the shippers.
That's not at all how I heard it. Apparently, Josh chose to kill off Marissa because he felt there was nothing left he could do with the character and he wanted to re-invent the show.
I have to agree with you there. I was not a big fan of season four either, but Josh did kill off Marissa out intentions of reinventing the show. Whether that was a good choice or not depends on the viewers' reactions and judging from the decrease in viewership it looks like he screwed up big time.
I personally don't think it was Marissa's death that ruined the show. I just think by the fourth season they seemed to be running out of good ideas to keep the story going. it had it's ups and downs though. but mostly it just got boring
I agree, but I also think that Marissa's death was a contributing factor to the downfall of the series. Marissa was one of the core four, and the fact remains that the rest of the series wasn't the same without her. I was not only unimpressed with the writing, but I also hated unfamiliarity of it. I felt like I was watching an entirely different show. Taylor IMO provided the only ounce of redemption to the season. I loved her character, but I would have loved season 4 more had they kept Marissa.
I loved Taylor. She's one of the reasons why I did enjoy season four, just not nearly as much as the others. I also really liked Kaitlin as a regular. Willa really resembles Mischa! They look like they really are related.
yeah they really chose the actress for that role well. One of the rare cases where siblings on tv actually look related.... although... I have to say, this is changing the subject, but I think the kids on Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe look FREAKISHLY related... well mainly the older girl and guy.... they have like EXACTLY same facial features...
@PiercingsGirlForever Ok, not that Taylor could ever replace Marissa, but how was she a bitch? She was patient with Ryan and completely understanding about Marissa as well as a great friend to Summer. Taylor was also really funny. Granted I did NOT like her with Ryan, I think she was a good character. It would have been better if she ended up with someone else though.
@danixcalifornia15 OH CMON! Are you serious? She pretended to be his fookin sleep therapist! She wasn't funny dude, she ruined the show for a lot of people :/
@Awesomex80s Lol I found it rather charming in a weird, quirky way. I'm no Rylor fan by any means, but I liked Taylor. I think she was endearing in her peculiarity and a genuinely funny character. I definitely don't hold season four in the highest regard; actually Taylor was the only saving grace of that season for me. I just hate that Josh felt inclined to kill off Marissa in order to make her a series regular. I wish he had kept her AND brought in Taylor as planned.
@danixcalifornia15 Yeah I suppose I can see your point ; but if I'm perfectly honest, aside from the very last episode and possibly the first, season four was, in my opinion absolutely pointless. As for the whole Ryan/Taylor thing... well words fail me. :L
well seen as though the show got cancelled that answers your question the oc had plenty left for the show i'm suprised he decided to not go a few year into the future to when there like in there early 20's and do it from there i'd of loved to of seen how season 4 would of been if they kept her alive
i agree. A season four with Marissa would have been awesome! In my moment of denial, I was actually hoping the series would ed with Ryan waking up in a hospital bed only to discover that all of season four had been a dream and that ever since the accident, he's the one thats been in a coma. Kind of reminiscent of the Roseanne ending... but yeahhh obviously that wasn't going to happen lol. I do like season four because of Frank, Taylor and Kaitlin, but Marissa's death never happened in my world.
I remember the first time I saw this episode. When the accident happened, I thought they were gonna like, let them have the car accident then have some drama at the hospital. I never thought they were gonna kill one of the main characters. But when I heard that song, Hallelujah, it realized. No words.
I reckon season4 is so gay coz it doesn't have marissa and it doesn't have like the original idea of the prgram like it ignores ryans mother and all his past it's just a big failure season 4
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm also personally glad she was killed off too. I never liked her. She whines and complains about everything. She was so over dramatic seriously she made a huge deal out of everything. And I loved the 4th season too! I loved Ryan and Taylor together!
Because marissa got taken off the show so they had to end her on the show in a good exciting off the edge of your seat way. which they reli shouldnt of ended it like that. So unfair to all the viewers.
I remember when I saw this. I was with my friend, and I said to her: "How can someone die in your arms?", and after that we didnt say a word in many minutes.
when I first watched this ep I was so effing shocked and started to cry my eyes out! my mom thought I went wacko... you just can't do that! guess you can but it is no cool my friends.
