The O.C. & me part II

I ripped through the second season of The O.C., disturbingly fast, a short while back and my view of it hasn't changed much from the first year.
It didn't get better but it was about the same and addictive enough to keep someone with nothing better to do hooked.
The best thing about season 2 was again Seth (Adam Brody) and his strange relationship with Summer (Rachel Bilson). At the end of the first season he took off on a boat when Ryan (Ben McKenzie) returned home, figuring that he'd go back to being a nobody.
His wisecracking, insecure, sarcastic nature is what makes the show watchable and it would be very dull without him. The Spiderman rip-off (which is in the picture) was pretty great and it was clever how they set it up.
The odd thing about season 2 was the lesbian relationship Marissa got into. I don't know where they were coming from, perhaps it was supposed to show another side to her rebellion.
I have watched quite a bit of season 3 and will review it when finished.
