The only reason I know this is because I went to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fox.com\/oc\/home.htm\">the official OC site<\/a>, and read the episode summary.  I&#8217;ll bluntly admit that I was part of the 99%.  \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n<p>I normally wouldn&#8217;t think that this talented young thespian&#8217;s participation in a scalding hot teen soap opera would be Mutiny-worthy, but NYU-alumna Navi has also been on &#8220;24&#8221; (as Melanie) as well as Angel, The Street Lawyer and Fastlane.  Regarding the big screen, she played &#8220;Soraya&#8221; in the noteworthy celluloid adaptation of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0315983\/\">&#8220;The House of Sand and Fog&#8221;<\/a> , with other bad-ass half-brownie Ben Kingsley.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you think she looks familiar&#8211; but you don&#8217;t watch Generation Y&#8217;s nowhere near as good version of 90210&#8211; you may have spotted her on the USA network&#8217;s &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0339785\/\">Thought Crimes<\/a>&#8220;, a movie that for some reason makes me think of our <a href=\"http:\/\/tripathi.blogspot.com\/\">Abhi<\/a>. \ud83d\ude09  Navi starred as the troubled, telepathic teen Freya McAllister in the sci-fi\/spy project;<\/p>\n\n<blockquote>Driven mad by the din of numerous voices in her head, she is eventually recruited by the NSA as a psychic sleuth. <\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Anyway, &#8216;The OC&#8217;s season premier is just days away, on November 4th.  While I toy with the notion of watching for Navi, I&#8217;m frankly more excited about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vh1.com\/news\/articles\/1490442\/20040820\/walkmen.jhtml?headlines=true\">musical<\/a> line-up for season 2; three of my favourite groups, including Modest Mouse, The Killers and The Walkmen are guest starring on the show.
