The OC’s are interesting in an exuberantly inventive way, but they lack the steady grounded quality that would make me A) care about them, and B) believe in them as more than a source for amusement and exposition.
Yup, yup. I really disliked the Melissa bit intensely - and that may be because of my own issues, but it didn't ring true to her character. That might sound ridiculous given how little we see of her on the show - or maybe just the failure of my imagination.
