Mischa Barton on the O.C. versus Kristen Kreuk in Smallville
If you watch Mischa Barton on the O.C. and Kristen Kreuk in Smallville, you may have noticed (although it’s unlikely so I’m pointing it out) that their two characters are very alike. In fact, they might as well be the same person since neither of them has a personality.
Yup, it’s no-personalities-ville in that part of the world. Let’s see…
- Both of them rarely speak
- Both of them are hot babes (although I think Kristen Kreuk is MUCH more beautiful)
- Both have troubled relationships
- Both are primarily featured in scenes displaying their pathetic relationships
- Both are secondarily featured in scenes displaying their self-destructive behaviours (such as Mischa Barton’s character shoplifting, doing drugs, etc and Kristen Kreuk’s character pulling one out of the movie Flatliners, almost unto death).
- Both have far less to say than just about any other character in any given scene
- Neither really have a developed personality. The O.C. especially has people with very distinct character development, and Smallville does as well, although arguably to a lesser extent.
…and so on! They are essentially the same person!

[...] I recently blogged about how Marissa was a useless character and on tonight’s season finale of the OC, she died. Ryan was driving a car with her as the passenger and Volchok got drunk and rammed the car off the road. It spun down a hill and bye bye Marissa. The entire episode built up to it as she made her peace with everyone as she was leaving to work on a ship with her father anyways. [...]
