i have to start figuring out how to limit my capping. WHY MUST THESE TWO BE SO PRETTY?!?!

um, if you have dial-up, just leave. it's not because i don't love you; it's because i do.

the o.c. 4x07 - the chrismukk-huh?



on a darkish and semi-ominous newport morning...


...ryan drank his coffee as usual.


he was hesitant to invite taylor to chrismukkah.






finally, he says he will, but he's not sure about the whole thing.


taylor, on the other hand, was quite confident. and cheery!




lean meat.


christmas with my mom?! oh noes!










off to bring ryan some christmas cheer.


passing on aunt cindy and her whip-its.


back at casa de cohen, ryan is brooding over some dead skinny girl.


"feliz navidad!" XD








taylor would NEVER give up that easily.








"poor ryan; all of his muscles are so developed except for the ones in his mouth." (BEST, part 1.)










not ryan's girlfriend.




not a feelings-hurter.


autumn reeser makes the best faces EVAR. ♥










hot-steaming-pile-of-rejection recipient.

i will never not find this type of "look fast just in case" double take funny.




alt-kiki is a giant bitch, but she looks HOT.












street urchin.


mad props to ben for amazing subtle comedy. he moves one face muscle, like, a millimeter and i giggle. ♥




alt-seth is kind of too lame to seem like a real person, but it's amusing.


alt-ryan is still his boyfriend rescuer.








rachel ROCKED that wedding gown. gorgeous, srsly.




alt-sandy's eyebrows are still intact, whew.








i'm choosing to believe this doesn't mean alt-sandy is a republican. :O




ack, real world! ryan is in the hospital, woe.




at least they gave him a cute roommate.




ryan hates alt-world as much as he hated roger.






"ryan? is that you?"


i'm going to be quiet for a minute -- i found this moment really sweet.
















"i found you." *squish*








(yes, these all look the same but they're not, stfu.)














taylor theorizes.




oh-so-romantic fake punch in the arm.








testing for asleep-ness.


...


...


ow?






taylor had a sci-fi phase.


ryan is...surprised? really? lol. of COURSE she did.


"i know the way back to the real world."


"does it involve me dating you?" (BEST, part 3a.)




"well well, look who's funny in alt-world!" (BEST, part 3b.)








someone is in trouble.

bad kitten. ^>.<^ (that was my attempt at a cat. kind of? no? hmm.)










still not ryan's girlfriend.






ryan has gossip!






taylor's is crazier.


pwned by taylor townsend in the gossip department.










this bit kind of annoys me because i hated marissa.




but ben just rocks this scene. it's all in the eyes.












hasn't had to pee.




















good for taylor, letting him go. that's my girl.






awww. :(








*hugs her*


not marissa! \o/


alt-minicoop looks amazing. and still has a dead sister. sorry, kid.


taylor is supportive.




ryan broods considers the implications.


consolation (and good sense, yay!) by taylor.

"has anyone ever said 'no' to you?"


"once, and i pushed him off the roof."




"kidding." (aka, this sequence = BEST, part 4.)

i love how taylor is kind of running the whole thing.


while ryan goes off to deal with seth...


taylor spots...


alt-taylor! :O


she's a boy!


aaaand her mom's still a big horrible bitch.


ryan cannot deal with this.


this being GIANT CRYBABY SETH OMG.


but it DOES bring out the cute in ben, hee.




alt-bros. ♥


taylor works some little pixie spy magic on kirsten.


team townwood strategy session.






















"hey, wouldn't this actually be fun, you know, if you were actually doing it with somebody who you wanted to date?"


"go."


"ok, i'll stop."


hotness.


so taylor works on che.


ryan talks to julie.


"mail truck!"
(did that remind anyone else of when whoopi goldberg yelled "ditto!" to demi moore in ghost?)


our favorite tag team peer out at the work they've done.






taylor notices her mom being a bitch. AGAIN.








alt-taylor is gorgeous. and nice touch putting him in the same color as real taylor.


four freakin' fabulous faces. (and some alliteration, woo!)


"you bitch!"


omg.


"oh my god!"






ryan to the rescue.




he's proud of her! ♥






doesn't hear rain.






busted.


hey ryan, welcome to a place called AWKWARD.








ryan feels that taylor will explain.








and taylor is TOTALLY willing to explain. no problem!




except there IS a problem.






ryan is concerned.




taylor knows she has to go.




"hang on, i have to find my girlfriend taylor!"




but ryan finds himself alone in alt-world. :(


meanwhile, taylor returns to real!newport.




and very adorably asks ryan to join her.


ryan speechifies.








he has to wind things up when the cops show up, sadly.


real taylor has accepted that her mom is a giant hateful bitch.




ryan's in alt-jail with alt-santa and his alt-hat/vomit catcher, ew.


in the real world, he gets a letter put by his head.


alt-ryan reads the letter emotionally, while sad music plays.


and he says goodbye forever to the skinny dead girl, yay! (sorry, y'all. not a fan. obvs.)


back in the real world, taylor's waiting.








"hey."


(there are a lot of caps here that look kind of the same, but they're not. i just couldn't help myself; ryan was SO cute in this scene.
i don't know how taylor didn't climb onto the bed IMMEDIATELY and snuggle him.)


"hi."




"i just had the weirdest dream...


...you were in it, i think."


"that's so funny -- i think you were in my dream, too."




"can't remember what it was, though."


"me either."






"i'm really glad you're here." (BBBEEESSSTTT, part 5-20.)












"everything's going to be ok." "yeah, i know." ♥

ohmigod that was the cutest thing ever! do you do this every week?

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

thanks! i haven't done it every week all along, but i have starting at 4x04 and i imagine i'll continue the rest of the season. you can check my picspam tag (http://piratesdaughter.livejournal.com/tag/picspam) to see the others. :D

[bana76.livejournal.com]

BEST PISCSPAM EVER!
Ryan is his best this year, imo.
1. his hair is hotter
2. he has REAL issues this time. not teenage emo crap. I mean, one's ex/bff dying in one's arms = sad.
3. he has someone AWEEEESOME to play off of.

In Seth scenes, Seth was always the funny/cute one, and in Marissa scenes, it was always emo-ness! Taylor's good for him :D

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

YES. i always liked ryan ok, but i LOVE him this year. he looks amazing and he's actually fun to watch now instead of just being stuck in angstworld all the time!! and like you said, when there is angst, it's because of something real and not some contrived stupid stuff! \o/

[samirant.livejournal.com]

Oh, I adore seeing them together. And you're completely right - Autumn Reeser has some excellent expressions.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

doesn't she? half the reason i end up with so many caps is because i have such a hard time letting those faces go by uncapped!

[tigerlily12.livejournal.com]

Waist-holding! *flails* And... all the rest of it! I am officially DEAD FROM CUTE. As always, you = extra awesome blossom like whoa. =)

Taylor Townsend > everything else EVER. Yup.

Oh, did I tell you that I got your card? 'Cause I did! And I'm STILL finding glitter in random places. =P Thanks, babycakes!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

yay for glitter!! that was totally the plan, hee. i like imagining all my friends going about their lives randomly sparkly!

taylor SO MUCH ftw! \o/

[hellopoe.livejournal.com]

Yay OC picspam! Awesome. Taylor makes so many great faces, too, you're right.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

it's totally why i end up with so many caps -- i can't bring myself to pass over any of her faces!

[obv-hot-mess.livejournal.com]

BEST. Seriously, this is awesome, as was so much of this episode...like everything that happened between when it started and when it ended.

The *scootchsnuggle* on the bed was so awesome. I think it's a little bit official now.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

it's definitely a little bit official. and SO CUTEEEEEEE. when she sat on the bed i was like "awww" and then he put his arm around her waist and i squeed like a madwoman. *squish*

[itskellyhere.livejournal.com]

you srsly need to keep doing this. it's like a really good recap but with pictures. and your commentary makes it so entertaining. and i noticed a few things that i didn't notice while watching the episode. like OMG arm around the waist there at the end. !! how did i miss that??! and dude taylor does make the best faces. and holy crap i totally thought of ghost when she yells out "mail truck" lol! and actually ryan's facial expressions are frickin hilarious too! see, they are meant to be together, totally!! those two are the best thing that ever happened to this show. so much awesome.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

hee, your icon always makes me laugh.

YOU MISSED THE ARM AROUND THE WAIST?!?! :O oh man, i loved that so much. i was sort of sad that the episode was ending without some kind of kiss or something, but then she hopped up on the bed and he put his arm around her and i was like "oh man, it's real! REAL!" *squishes them forever*

i. love. them.

[http://users.livejournal.com/t_ina_/]

AWWW and awww this is sooo great love it

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

thanks! your icon is so cute. ♥

[platysseus.livejournal.com]

I was wondering how you'd do this ep's picspam, and you've done a tremendous job (as always). Probably not as ha-ha funny as the others, but this was more of a thought-provoking episode and therefore the R/T scenes were that way too. Definitely Best.Chrismukkah.Ever. :D

Love it! And get to see the episode all over again in 45mins! Yay!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

yeah -- this episode made me all sappy, so i think that came out in the picspam, lol. it looks like next week'll be back to hilarity. i'm glad you enjoyed, though! :D

and your icon!!! *sniff*

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

I just watched this episode here in Oz and so had to come and check out your picspam commentary thing. :O)

I love your picspams. So friggin cute - and true!

OMG I was grinning like a mad person at the end when he put his arm around her waist. So adorable.

You are so right - Autumn and Ben make the best faces.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

aww, thanks! i'm glad you enjoyed it! :D they're SO cute that even though these take forever, they're really fun to do.

[beabeabea.livejournal.com]

Awesome! What a fantastic treat to come home to work to! The perfect picspam for the perfect episode.

I love your commentary this week. It's so true (and thank goodness the skinny girl wasn't alive :D ) and I agree with all your 'best bits'.

Thanks for posting and Merry Christmukkah!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

awww, thanks, and a merry chrismukkah to you, too!

(down with the skinny girl! lol.)

[subtle--sarcasm.livejournal.com]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw :)

I HOPE YOU GRILL YOUR FACE!!!!! still wins!

And, even though I loved lame!seth in the old days, this was even too lame for me to handle XD loved the scene of him and ryan where ryan explains alt-world, though XD

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

yes! when seth's all "i always knew this would happen" and ryan's like "that doesn't surprise me." lolololol. alt-seth was horrifyingly lame, but it was funny.

taylor wanting ryan to grill his face is hilarious, though. LOVE!

[themightybee.livejournal.com]

I propose you split these picspams into two posts cos even with my trusty cable modem, the last 150 caps or so are totally dead. *sobs*

I watched the first two eps of season 4 last night. The aerial views of Providence are spot-on (I think I saw my school once!) but the campus and airport are NOT the actual campus and airport. That means no cast-stalking. *sobs some more* I love the shout-out though cos Josh Schwartz is a local boy! Wooooooo!

Anyway...when does my OTP hook up, yo?!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

eeeee, you're watching! but down with fake airports and campuses -- they should totally come hang out in your neighborhood, dammit. although by this point they probably wouldn't be around there anyway. (spoiler!: summer gets kicked out.)

episode 4 is where all the squee begins, hee. and i love how you've pre-emptively declared them your otp! \o/

i don't know why the caps are dead for you, but tell me where the last one you see is and i'll put the rest into another entry.

[adri278.livejournal.com]

I love these! Taylor/Ryan pwns.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

yay! glad you enjoyed it. and yes. ryan/taylor = pwnage like mad.

[impik.livejournal.com]

Dude, applause. I can't begin to imagine how long it took, and that was just too adorable. Well done.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

hee. yeah, it did take...a while, lol. but it's fun! glad you enjoyed it!

[lenfaz.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for doing this!
I live in Argentina, so season is behind (we're in 404 right now) and it's so great to have you doing this so I won't have to wait 3 weeks to see the RT hotness and cuteness. They're the reason I'm back at watching The OC and Taylor is the best thing that could have happened to Ryan!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

aw, you're welcome! i'm glad you enjoyed the spam -- it's really fun to do!

RT is amaaaaaaaaazing!

[cici-star.livejournal.com]

I love when you do these, they're so funny!

I totally understand having to put in every facial expression; Taylor's cos hers are the best and Ryan cos Ben is just so darn gorgeous!



(I'm with you on the not liking Marissa btw!)

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

hee! *high five*

glad you liked the spam! :D

[diamondrocker.livejournal.com]

OMG! Sooooo much love - for the picspam AND for Team Townwood -- so obviously I'm gonna have to friend you.

AR does seriously make THE BEST facial expressions, and how much did I LOVE gossip queen Ryan? A lot.

This made my night. Off to hunt down your other R/T cappified recaps.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

ICONNNNNNNN! *loves it*

obviously i will be friending you back.

gossip queen ryan is amazing. and so unexpected. but WONDERFUL.

[chibi-care.livejournal.com]

Amazing. I love the OC so much.

The face grilling thing? I was watching the episode with my roommate and when Taylor said that, I totally went, "Well, at least's it's not a foot." It was like two of my favorite shows - crossing. I have no words.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

haha, yes! any time taylor mentioned the foreman grill, all i could hear in my head was jim, responding to michael on the speakerphone all "YOU burned YOUR foot on a george foreman grill" in that jim way he has. then i was imagining ryan stepping on the hot grill in the poolhouse and hobbling around with his foot wrapped in bubble wrap. :x

[paperpieces5.livejournal.com]

Omg, I've been wondering when the next picspam was. Love the commentary. And I'm glad you included the BAD KITTY! part, because it was so glorious.

AND THE ARM AROUND THE WAIST PART! Was he *really* supposed to do that? I wonder, just because you know it's five steps forward with Ryan in terms of Taylor, and five steps back with her...so why would he be doing that? Aside from the fact that he really loves her and all, and just doesn't know it yet, bahahaha.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

hahaha, your icon is fabulous.

bad!kitty!che(ster) is obviously one of the best things i've seen in my life. i think that scene convinced me that chris pratt is enough of a reason for me to check out everwood. because i liked che well enough, and chester was hilarious, so i should like him on everwood, too.

anyway! the waist thing. yeah, i don't know. i'm hoping now that he's gotten some closure (sort of, in an alt-world kind of way) with marissa, he'll be a little less of a spaz regarding taylor and they can actually be together and make out constantly.

[xanis.livejournal.com]

Your picspams are so much love. Thankyouthankyouthankyou!

[the-kates.livejournal.com]

oh my GOODNESS I LOVE YOU! I just found these and I have to say that YOU ARE AMAZING! And hilarious! On with the Rylor love! Thanks for the lovely picspams and I cannot wait till tomorrow! *SQUEES!*

[allstar12.livejournal.com]

You are indeed, my new favourite person. LOL.

I squealed @ the end when I saw the arm around the waist. It was adorable!

[unohow2whistle.livejournal.com]

I love your picspams and I love your comments and I love Ryan and Taylor. I have so much love for The OC now, and tomorrow's episode looks amazing!

I love squealing about a great couple with other people, lol. Great job!

[rita15keke.livejournal.com]

D:! that was the awesome-est thingy eva xD! really so cool! =0!
