Enough of the "Obsessed" storyline

Ok, don't get me wrong, I love the cast, the direction, soundtrack, etc. and I know I can't (as I'm writing this is 2018) change a plot line that happened 15 years ago, but the crazy, sociopathic, obsessed lover plot has been so played out over the years. Wish they had tossed this arc and done something else.

I really wanna know who's idea it was for this storyline

They're making Marissa seem so dumb, and I hate storylines that are this annoying and frustrating to watch. It's just insane how easily people are just not believing or even bothering to care about Ryan's concerns. I thought at least Seth would but nope....

Trivia
When Danny beats Seth at the video game, he turns to Seth and says "You just got Punk'd (2003)! There's a camera there *points*, there *points again* and over there!*and once again*". Incidentally, Adam Brody got Punk'd three months after this episode aired.

Goofs
Oliver transfers to Harbor as a twice held back junior. He is should be be taking senior class yet says he has the exact same schedule as Marissa, who is a sophomore.

Quotes
Sandy: [Sandy and Seth are discussing Danny, Summer's new boyfriend]
Sandy: Whoa, that kid is not funny.
Seth: Thank you. I know.
Sandy: He makes Ryan look funny.
Seth: He makes Marissa look funny.
Sandy: Gentiles. I love your mother more than words, but not funny. Get yourself some funnier friends.
