Thank you for the song info-the songs really make the scenes on this show-esp. when something really dramatic is happening......

A typical show would just rid of a less needed character. To kill Marisa off showed that death can happen to anyone and happen so unexpectedly. Within five minutes she goes from talking about life to dying, so sad how so much can change so quickly.

Maybe I get too deep with things but I loved how when the show first started they always played "Into Dust" whenever they showed Marisa and in her death scene it was "Halleliuh", both beautiful and haunting songs. Marisa was always getting herself into bad situations but not because she was a bad person, she obviosly had issues. Just as it seems she's maturing and geting her act together, she dies. It's a perfect scenario for how tragic life (and death) can be.

This was exactly what I was thinking after I finished watching the show. It really mirrors life in the real world and the unpredictability of it all.

I'd predict after Summer finds out, depressed and all , she may be the next Marissa of the show... I can't see it changing that much. I also think that killing Marissa off was something they HAD to do whether they wanted to or not. It may not have been because she ASKED to leave but with her image all screwed up in the media - she could no longer transform into MARISSA - she began to remain as MISCHA even on the show.

 

[Little Tiny]

yeah,thats true....she DID appear as Mischa on the show,wonderful clothes and all.

i really don't want the show centred around willa holland. if marissa really is gone it should be ryan,seth and summer. i dont want some teenage brat in the show. it should of been kaitlin that died.

In the begining of season 1 it was "Into Dust" by Mazzy Star. The song in final episode when Ryan is carrying her it is "Halelujah." Originally done by Leonard Cohen, more popular version is by Jeff Buckley, but in that episode it was someone else, I don't know who. I would go for the Jeff Buckley version if you want to check it out.

The Jeff Buckley version was used I believe in season finale 1 or 2. It was the scene where Seth was sailing away from O.C. heading up North. Seth was upset because Ryan left O.C. Ryan left because he found out his ex was pregnant with his child. I remember that scene well, because I was like "Who is singing this sweet *** song?"

Uh ok I dont watch the OC anymore but that is partly because I couldn't stand Marissa. I hear she became better but honestly the whole show is not redeeming. Even the main knuckleheaded guy is so unappealing. And Seth sailing away? Didn't Pacey do that on Dawson's Creek years and years ago.

IMO, she was the only great thing about the show. Great finale for her, I must say, a dramatic transition from the show to movies, and amusing talk show material for half a year.

I noticed the obvious Dawson's Creek ripoff too!

I think its sad that Mischa left the OC!

 

[RobertaCastello]

Just watched the episode. I was expecting a really dramatic scene, but it was numb. The actors were, how can I say it, without any emotions playing it. If Mischa hadn't asked to leave the series I'd say she wasn't really dead, that in the next season she would recover from the accident and stay in the OC with Ryan. It sucked though, I liked Marissa.

 

[kiss&tell]

no more missoni or chanel on the show

That's true.

 

[kiss&tell]

That's just so sad although every season finale always has a big part with Marissa in it. But this is the biggest.
