The 40 minute adoption

Speechless.  It is highly ironic that I have formulated the strength to blog about this episode.  I even said previously that it would take Brooke and Julian 40 minutes to adopt a child.  I didn't realise it was so easy.  Really, one should urge the writers of One Tree Hill to advise all those desperate want to be parents across the world that it only takes one day.  You just go and meet a pregnant girl, lie during an interview, then allow her to have your home address so that she can bring round some cookies and meet your friends and discover your lies, then allow her to leave for a short time to mull over the relatively minor decision of giving up her child, and then allow her back just before bedtime to confirm that the child will be yours upon birthing.  FML.  How insulting.  I mean did they actually consider that a real person who was undergoing such a sensitive ordeal as adoption, would go home after their first meeting, and jump on the bed shouting "i'm getting a baby, i'm getting a baby".  Christ almighty.

This episode's only saving grace was that Hayley decided to refer to the near drowning of her son, best friend and her partner.  It has only been 4 episodes without mentioning the storm episode.  Hayley decided to thank Brooke for the feat of saving her son's life (even though it was Julian) conveniently in front of the potential birth mother, making Brooke seem perfect, in spite of the many flaws revealed moments before.  I of course presume this is what Hayley was referring to, although it is entirely likely that past heroics to save Jamie Scott by Brooke Davis have simply slipped my mind.

I do not like the ugly Nathan Scott of baseball, he is a jerk.  Why would anyone sign him?  He clearly is lacking practically all of the qualities required of a professional sportsman.  I do enjoy however that Nathan's college life appears to have taken a back step.  Perhaps that was just too boring to continue further.

I almost cut myself when I saw Quinn having flashbacks of the weird heaven-like garden that she and Clay decided to visit when they were half dead.  Why was that necessary?  I had presumed that Clay would propose there and then, but obviously that was just too predictable.  The proposal must be days away now.

Considering One Tree Hill is meant to be a teen drama, it lacks a considerable amount of drama.  It is boring and predictable, yet somehow addictive.  If someone has actually read this attempt at a blog, I do believe to date 4 people have had the pleasure, they may wonder why I watch it.  This question I cannot answer, I feel like it still has something good to give, but is just currently failing on all fronts.  We shall see.

Dan Scott!!

Hurrah! Who would have thought that only today I would have written about Dan Scott, and then he should appear again.  Working at a burger shack in the woods, rocking an interesting bearded wild man look. Oh well he is of course a crazed murdering lunatic and can therefore pull off most looks.  His aim seemed somehow to persuade Quinn not to murder the murderer.  I am slightly confused as to this storyline, as there seems to be absolutely no police involvement whatsoever.  All they seem to have done was to put some tape across the front door of the beach house.  This "do not enter" sign was ignored by Nathan previously who then appeared to scrub all evidence from the scene.  How annoying for Quinn that she didn't have it in her to brutally murder the blonde murderer.  Especially now that she's back and Quinn threw her gun in the sea.  Looks like she's going to regret that decision.  Didn't see that coming - oh no wait yes I did.

Brooke and Julian, Bless.  He took her on a fake sky dive and  then to a place with the most ridiculously large moon known to man.  I enjoy that Brooke has lost everything and yet still drives a big jeep and a lives in a huge house.  Maybe the debtors didn't notice those assets when she "lost everything".

Last week a NBA star, yesterday an agent, today a college student.  Nathan what are you doing?  Be reasonable and live off your success.

Alex the actress was hotter than ever and deceived Amy Winehouse by kissing Chase.  I hope he deceives Winehouse too and then she leaves Tree Hill for good then overdoses on crack.  The Irish person sang tonight   and I still don't understand her.  Kid Kudi appeared for no reason, using the classic "You'll never guess who I've booked at tric" line.  Jeez, they've only used that about 35 million times.  At least its better than when Sheryl Crow walked into Karen's Cafe by chance back in the day.

Generally a decent episode, but not without its disappointment.  Anything with Dan Scott in, and Mouth not in has to be reasonable.
