So.. it was very predictable. Everyone saw it coming. But you still hated to see it.
I know everyone loves Summer more than Marissa, but I've always been partial to the Mischa Barton character. To see her go is kinda a letdown.
Marissa Cooper is (was) a member of the so-called "fab four" - this is a huge shake up.
How the O.C. plays out next year is going to be a big surprise. Will they work the "Kaitlyn taking over Harbor" angle huge? Will the rest of the gang even go to college?
How do you go on without Marissa?
Very well done for Season 3. Predictable. But still fun as hell to watch.

I'd say that Volcheck would be wishing to meet his fate (which actually could be accomplished by his van also going off the road), except that he'd probably instead be glad at the misery he'd caused.
BASTARD!!! He'd better FRY come the start of next season!
According to TVSquad.com, Mischa was rumored to have had enough of her role as Marissa.

It's definitely sad to see her go. I was actually taken by surprised, considering how the episode was pretty upbeat until the end.
It's gonna be weird not having her around come next season. I hope the OC will not go thru a downward spiral now after her death. I still think the first season was the best.
Have you noticed the sudden change in character for Julie Cooper? She's become almost the comic relief (in some episodes), which is far removed from her villainous days.

^ Even in her most deceptive moments, it was still comic relief!
The death of Mischa Barton's character is making headlining news! And just so you all know, The O.C. has been renewed for a 4th season, but will not start until November 2006.
- - - - - Mischa Barton's 'O.C.' Character Killed
LOS ANGELES - Fox's "The O.C." closed its third season Thursday with a deadly twist. Marissa Cooper, played by Mischa Barton, was killed in a car crash.
Barton's character was central to the show, which follows four wealthy Newport Beach teens through the emotional ups and downs of high-school life.
Barton was already a familiar face when she began starring on "The O.C." in 2003. She worked as a model and appeared in several films, including "The Sixth Sense," and TV's "Once and Again." She is also a spokesmodel for Neutrogena and the Collection bebe clothing line.
Rumors flew in recent months that she was ready to leave "The O.C."
Earlier this week, Barton told "Access Hollywood," "My character has been through so, so much and there's really nothing more left for her to do."
Barton, 20, has a film arriving in 2007, "Guilty Pleasures," and other projects in the works.
Marissa's death came at the end of an otherwise upbeat episode.
The class of 2006, which includes Marissa, Ryan, Seth and Summer, graduated from Harbor High School. Seth and Summer were accepted by the same college. Ryan was reunited with his mother, who gave him a Land Cruiser as a graduation gift. Marissa's mom gave her a pearl necklace, while her dad gave her an opportunity to work with him on a yacht set to sail around the Greek islands.
Ryan was taking Marissa to the airport in his new SUV when they were antagonized at high speed by a drunken and vengeful Volchok, who they both had a history with. Volchok swigged from a flask as he chased the pair in his car.
Ryan lost control of the Land Cruiser and crashed, the vehicle rolling off the road. He pulled Marissa from the wreckage just before the vehicle caught fire.
There, on the side of the road, she died in his arms.

A new direction for Season 4 of the OC?
- - - Death may jolt 'The O.C.' ratings By KEVIN WILLIAMSON - Calgary Sun
The gang graduates from Harbor High in The O.C. season finale.
To paraphrase its theme -- California, there she goes.
Fox's teen melodrama The O.C. killed off Mischa Barton's resident drama queen Marissa Cooper at the end of Thursday's third-season finale.
The demise -- not quite a shock as Barton had reportedly been looking to exit the series -- is expected to signal a shift in tone for the fourth season.
Simply put -- a little more mellow, a little less drama.
As Barton told Access Hollywood, "My character has been through so, so much and there's really nothing more left for her to do."
With Thursday's instalment, the creators and Fox gave the actress her wish -- sending Marissa to her grave in a climactic car crash, after which she died in the arms of her on-and-off-again love interest, Ryan.
It may also give viewers sick of gloom, doom and sap a welcome return to the show's first season when it established itself as a smart, sarcastic breakout hit.
By the second season, however, things began to bog down. Characters moped, got shot, broke up, cried, spiraled into rehab and died. Not surprisingly, all the dire drama turned off critics and viewers.
Ratings slipped. Fans balked.
The death of Marissa -- while likely necessitated by Barton's desire to move on -- gives the show an excuse to reinvent itself with new characters, including Marissa's little sister.
Facilitating this will be creator Josh Schwartz, who left the past couple seasons to other writers and producers, and is returning to guide what could very likely be the series' swan song.
Schwartz, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, said he intends to jettison the moodiness for more wit and winsomeness. (Fear not, though -- he also told the magazine it won't turn into "the Muppet babies" or into something resembling the latter years of Beverly Hills 90210, in which the characters conveniently ended up at the same college.)
As for the future of 20-year-old Barton, she's hardly out of work.
The former model was already a veteran actress when The O.C. premiered in 2003, having appeared on TV series such as Once and Again and in films, most memorably as the ghost of a girl poisoned by her mother in The Sixth Sense.
She's currently a spokesmodel for Neutrogena and the Collection bebe clothing line and a favourite of the press; in recent months, she's even participated in a public skirmish with Paris Hilton.
As far as her acting career goes, one of her future films, due in 2007, is ironically called Guilty Pleasures. Ironic because one hopes her departure may make The O.C. just that again.
