parallels in the oc

okay so the one i mentioned in my most recent post was the one with benches after events (cotillion/junior prom/senior prom) when marissa is standing in front of them or sitting on them and then ryan comes and comforts her

another ryissa parallel is him giving her his jacket (1x04 and 2x18)

"we're from different worlds" - in 1x02 ryan tells marissa this when she wants him to stay. in 1x03 when he's back and wants to talk to her she repeats these words to him.

the ferris wheel - in 1x09 ryan and marissa share their first kiss on the ferris wheel at the kickoff carnival. in 2x02 they're both at the kickoff carnival but they have an argument. in 3x02 they're on the ferris wheel again and almost share a kiss but are interrupted by dean hess

ryan not being able to say 'i love you' - in 1x14 ryan can't get himself to tell marissa he loves her and the same thing happens in 4x14 with taylor

the hand signals - in 1x08 when marissa is in the hospital, summer and seth communicate through hand signals. in 1x24 when they're decorating her room they do this again

the coffee cart - in 1x19 seth declares his love for summer on a coffee cart in front of the entire school (well, at least all the pupils that are there in that moment) and in 3x21 she stands on the coffe cart to get him to declare his love for her

summer/seth/anna and seth/summer/zach - summer and seth find themselves involved in love triangles with each other twice. the first time summer and anna want do date seth and the second time seth and zach want to date summer. both times the two who want to date the other person tell them to choose. summer handled it quite maturely though imo. she was just like yeah idk choose yourself. while seth just kept making the situation worse for himself

Hey Leah! I know I’ve been sending you a lot of asks recently, but I’ve just got one more for now 😂 I just love getting your perspective on things, and I really appreciate you taking the time to read and respond. :)

I’ve seen a little bit of discussion about it since oc 3x21 aired, but I’m still confused about Elliot wearing his wedding ring again and I was wondering if you could maybe explain what you think?

I get that it’s bc he saw Kathy’s ghost and was feeling some type of guilt coming back up, but… I don’t know, the dichotomy of his “I found it in a drawer, relax Liv it’s not that deep” response and then keeping it on through the finale is kinda throwing me.

Putting the ring back on for 3x21 makes some sense, but why is he still wearing it — especially after Liv called it out? Is it not a regression of sorts, given Liv’s “he’s somebody else’s husband,” and how she kinda views it as a big “KEEP OUT” sign? Would she not take one look at it back on his finger and assume he’s back on his grief-trauma disaster whirlwind a la ROTPS?

We ended the seasons on such positive and hopeful notes, so I can’t help but feel like I’m missing something here?

This is a really interesting question!!! And one I'm not sure I have an answer for lol

Like. I don't think the show wants us to believe that Elliot continuing to wear his wedding ring was a sign that he's chosen to remain faithful to his marriage; that's at odds with his behavior and stated desires. Like you said it makes sense him putting it on immediately after the hallucination, but why keep it on?

Part of me thinks maybe it's really not that deep, maybe he had it on at first and then everything is happening so quickly he doesn't have time to go home and take it off - Liv tells him she's been awake for 24 hours, she sends everybody else home and they stay at the station and eat and then there's progress on the case, the Ohio stuff happened hella fast. Maybe it's really not that deep, and he kept it on bc they filmed some stuff out of order and it was easier just to keep it on than keep track of when he was supposed to wear it and when he wasn't.

Symbolically perhaps an argument can be made that it's about him making peace with the two halves of his life. He can wear the wedding ring and acknowledge that he cared about Kathy and still love Liv out loud at the same time. Maybe, symbolically, it's bc he's devoted to Liv, and he can't wear her ring but he can wear a ring that communicates to others that he's taken.

Maybe it's that it was comfortable. Maybe it's that it felt familiar. Maybe he's just feeling sentimental.

I don't know! I don't know if maybe they had more plans for it that were cut for time, or an idea they want to expand on next season, or if it was just a continuity thing no one was paying attention to.

And that means it's really fun to play around with

My thoughts as I’m watching 24 seasons of law & order svu: (and oc)

Season 24

OC 3x01, Turf war. Always good to see Benson and Stabler together, even if only for a short scene.

24x01, I’m enjoying this crossover! Stabler doesn't use this soft voice enough. Benson handling Stabler well. Did Benson and Stabler need to clear the floor together? No, but I don't mind. I was a bit disappointed with the ending of the third part.

24x02, why does everyone gotta dump on Stabler?!?

24x05, I really like Carisi and Rollins together.

Shallow observation: Benson’s hair is really pretty this season.

OC 3x07, don’t know how Eli is in College already…

OC 3x08, Stabler, actually admitted to someone that he is in love. Jet’s disappointment at getting her thunder stolen is real.

24x09, Rollisi wedding! (Kinda surprised the kids weren't at the actual wedding) I get that Noah is really excited to have met his brother, but I do feel a bit bad about Benson. Rollins asking Benson the real questions. I think that’s the first time the show made me actually emotional about a character leaving!

OC 3x09, Stabler is definitely the one taking charge here!

24x10, don’t really get why Benson doesn't go inside with Noah… I’m sorry, but I like that dude shutting Benson down, when she tries to get the DNA fast-tracked.

OC 3x10, I don’t know why, but I think Stabler is funny. Stabler is talking about Benson, right?

24x11, Benson screaming at the rape tree had me laughing. It's just such a weird thing to do…

24x12, brutal end for Duarte. The kitchen scene between Benson and Stabler!!

OC 3x12, he should have just called Benson… he didn't want to go along with that cop at all, until she name-dropped Benson.

24x13, Fin and Benson's conversation about stray puppies was fun.

24x15, Benson apologizing to Pence because he wasn't the one who killed his wife… the end with her reading "king of the moon" was really sweet.

OC 3x15, I always like it, when we get a bit of background on Stabler.

24x16, Go Carisi!!! Finally, a good court scene, I feel like we didn't see a lot of court scenes this season.

24x17, Benson playing babysitter at work. I think this episode actually really showed Benson as Captain rather than Detective.

OC 3x17, the ending with Stabler and Eli was cute.

OC 3x18, the description for Stablers fake dating app is awesome. Especially everyone's reaction to it.

24x19, Benson saying "the only thing worse than a partner with no loyalty, is a partner with blind loyalty." is ironic, like do you remember your partnership with Stabler and the absolute blind loyalty you had to each other? (Not that I mind their blind loyalty)

OC 3x19, Bernie is back!

OC 3x20, well hello there Kathy.

24x21, I still really like Carisi, don’t feel like he got enough screen time. Finally, Benson and Stabler back together! Those two just know how to act, especially together.

OC 3x21, Protelliot! As if Stabler would protect the case over Benson. Just want to point out, that that particular Umlaut is not a German one… OC has a lot of small, funny, random moments that I really enjoy. Last episode it was Stabler and Bell having to lean over the counter, this episode it's Reyes enjoying his free sandwich. Rollins! What’s with the clips of real life criminals?

24x22, so here’s the thing, I watched this episode before I started to watch the actual show. But it is kinds nice to actually know who these people are and what’s going on. McGrath really hasn't gotten any better… the Churlish Muncy friendship has been a highlight for me this season. I just love that whole take out scene (doesn't matter that I’ve already watched it a ton). I think Benson had a higher bounty on her head before.

OC 3x22, have watched this episode before as well. The Diner scene!! Stabler didn't necessarily need to carry Benson outside, but I’m really happy he did. The hospital scene!!! Sad to lose Whelan. Also, that poor Medic, was there really just one Medic?!? Like, the poor girl had to run like a mad woman. The ornament and the compass!!! That ending was just really sweet!

I kinda missed the villains whose storylines would play out over a (half) season on OC. SVU had a lot of cast changes and I didn't really care for any one of them. But I did enjoy Churlish and Muncy teaming up.

I’m a little disappointed on how little Benson/Stabler interactions there were this season compared to the two before. At least, there were three crossovers.

Mostly, I can’t believe I actually managed to binge both shows before they come back. Because it was not looking good for that goal the week before Christmas. And I even have a week to spare!

Favorite Episodes: OC 3x09, OC 3x21, 24x22, OC 3x22

Favorite Lines:

"I did feel like Stabler was my home." Benson 24x09

"There's nobody that I trust more to bring my son home in one piece than Stabler." Benson 24x12

"I wish I could bottle this." Stabler 24x22 (don’t we all)

*Lead you to happiness, Liv." Stabler OC 3x22

[hooty-1-6-svu]

The title for Organized Crime 3x21 is called Shadowërk.

German spelling, but still, look what shadow work means, thank you Twitter.

Cue me screaming at work thinking of the possibilities of Benson and Stabler.

And I know some people were getting bent out of shape about the press release saying "Stabler and Benson", but OC is Elliott's show. He should go first since he's the star of his show, but I'll admit, I read it as "Benson and Stabler" the first time.

[bishopsbelova]

omg Kelli is coming back for three episodes not 2 😭😭😭, oc 3x21, svu 24x22, oc 3x22 because all is connected as the crossover plot I believe. jfc at this point get her back permanently in 25!

'Rollins will also return in the season finales of SVU and Organized Crime, set to air on Thursday, May 18. '

Wait, what?

I thought I'd never get to see Amanda again, and you're telling me, we get her back for three episodes??? 😭😭 I dont' even care if she barely gets any screen time, I'm just happy to have her back in any and all capacities.

[elliot-olivia]

I wish you hadn’t done that. If someone tried to kill me— I’d kill them. Well then, compared to you, I showed remarkable restraint.

[winnie-the-monster]

[a-bensler-blog]

"When DNA from an SVU rape investigation connects to an OCCB unsolved murder, Stabler and Benson uncover a revenge-for-hire scheme on the dark web. While Bell and Jet follow the money trail to expose the website’s anonymous creator, Stabler asks Professor Rollins for help with a key clue."
