The OC: Ryan & Taylor Appreciation
I've just done another series rewatch and I have thoughts... I know the show focused on how different Ryan and Taylor were. It was mostly played for laughs and they were certainly their own rom-com. But I do wish they had been able to delve into what actually connects them: they both came from abusive, broken households. And from that, they both had these feelings of inadequacy that manifested themselves in different ways. For Taylor, it was this neurotic, overachieving. For Ryan, it was him going into himself, always having a chip on his shoulder, and always waiting for the other shoe to drop because good things don't happen to guys like him. Aside from the fact that the writers didn't have the time to do this, and I'm sure they wanted to keep the lightness of the season through their relationship, I would've loved to see more moments where they acknowledged this.
One of my favorite Ryan/Taylor moments is from the episode My Two Dads when Frank comes to the Cohens for dinner. After all the drama with that situation, they share this really lovely moment where they acknowledge how they got through their first "relationship milestone" and Taylor encourages Ryan to spend time with his family. Just a level of maturity that Ryan never had in his other relationships, and that moment really solidified why Taylor was such a great partner for him.
I was also listening to Ben's episode of The Welcome to the OC, Bitches podcast and Ben called out Autumn as one of his favorite people to work with because it was through the Ryan/Taylor dynamic that he got to explore a side of Ryan that he hadn't been able to play previously, and it shows how much fun he had with her.

The O.C. S3.E07 “The Anger Management”
Taylor: "I live in this dream world where I think Summer's my friend and I think that you like me, and the truth is I don't have anybody. Oh my God, even the Grinch had that stupid little dog."
Seth: "You think Summer is your friend?"
Taylor: "Yes. I know, I'm crazy!"
Seth: "You know what, I like you."
