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.

Valentine's Shite
I want to blend my face. What in the name of God is happening to this programme. People do not watch One Tree Hill for this weird happy happy romance. They want pain, anguish, heart break , Dan Scott, lust, death, excitement. The show is now entirely void of any of the characteristics that once made it so great. It is entirely predictable and cliche. Nathan and Hayley are so happily married it makes me want to vomit. Surely they could think of something to drive a wedge between them. An affair would be excellent.
Quinn and Clay are such a bore as well. If she wasn't so attractive I would wish her away. Who the hell was that moaning tattooed singer? The fact that Brooke is unable to conceive makes her and Julian somewhat interesting, although no doubt they will manage to adopt a baby within 40 minutes any day now. I wish Nathan would stop seeing himself in all young athletes and that he wasn't so deep all the time.
The Chase and annoying child thing is verging on weird now. What the hell is a big brother? I jut hate Mouth, but major lols if Millicent got the job instead of him.

Just when it couldn't possible get any worse....
Oh Christ. It was actually possible to make an even worse episode than the previous debacle. Naturally the writers must think that if they manage to somehow produce one episode of quality, they therefore do not have to put any effort into forthcoming shows.
A stupid comic book theme appeared to be the basis of this particular shambles. When it started with the comic book style opening I knew what I was in for. Terrible throughout. Why did Brooke think today I shall be a super hero and help a stranger/ Some poor victim of bullying rings up a helpline and is presented with three mentally unstable young women to aid her. I'm pretty sure they made a huge thing of Hayley not breaching the confidentiality of the people who call her so called "crisis center" and off Brooke, Quinn and Hayley go and dress up as weird super heroes for no reason and simply say mean things to the bullies. They did look super hot though, Quinn and Brooke that is. Hayley looked hideous. I love how her size fluctuates so between episodes.
Meanwhile, Nathan and Clay, alongside the man from the Blind Side, decided to teach the mean lecturer a lesson in business. Now, I am pretty certain the man who wrote the book about business has an idea about business. But no! Nathan, who has been a high flyer of the commercial world for all of 6 minutes, knows that its all about the relationships. How can he prove this? He gets his friend Clay to do some weird stand up moral preach during the lecture. Great, There was absolutely no follow up to this, and it seemingly served no purpose whatsoever.
Chase and the stupid annoying kid went flying for some reason, I do not care for either. Mouth was cast in a Tree Hill College commercial for a reason that only Christ the Lord himself knows. Who would cast him seriously? His lips would engulf the screen. I hope that this college idea is not to be pursued any further, after all, everyone in Tree Hill is past their college days. Except Jamie, Oh dear God I hope they are not planning to keep it going until Jamie has to go to college. Can you imagine what they would be writing about by that time!
Skills continued to be present for no reason, and the sexy actress decided to sing, annoying Amy Winehouse, and then allowing them to share a "musician's moment" when surprise surprise she could actually sing.
Surely it cannot possibly get worse than this.

The Wedding
That episode was so excruciatingly boring I have absolutely nothing to say on the matter. I enjoyed the Harry Potter reference and that was all.
I actually made an explosion sound as they drove off down the road hoping that their truck would blow up because it was so pathetic.

They did not just do that
Really? After the previous almost genius episode they produce something so atrocious that I am in fact lost for words. No mention whatsoever of the near death experiences or that Quinn shot someone. Not so much as an acknowledgement of the trauma. Instead a drunken bachorlerette party. Of course, I should have known the only way to celebrate nearly drowning is to get wasted. I should have known it was going to be terrible when they used an electronic version of the theme tune.
It was entirely terrible from start to finish. Why was Dave Navarro in it? No reason. It was entirely obvious that Brooke had not slept with anyone and that it was Julian whom she kissed. It was basically a shitty One Tree Hill version of the Hangover. Abysmal. It could only been worse if Mouth was in it.
Love how they also managed to sneak in that Peyton wasn't going to make it to the wedding. Well isn't that a surprise. She was obviously too sane to partake in any of this trivia. Whoever next won't be able to make it? Lucas perhaps?
I have nothing else to say about that other than it was one to rival the worst ever (excluding the 1940's one).

Almost One Tree Hill, Almost
Well didn't they almost have it. So close. It was in their grasp. Almost an episode to rival the greats. But no, they couldn't quite do it. They couldn't follow it through.
"Darkness of the Edge of Town" was the name of the episode, which enticed me greatly as a Springsteen fan. Started off nicely with the actual One Tree Hill theme tune, instead of those weird versions they have been doing of late. A good sign. Its the theme tune, leave it. People hear that song and associate it with the show, do not diverge from this age old format.
Then the classic storm. You know something is brewing in American TV shows when a storm rolls in. A storm combined with a returning mass murderer is certainly an intriguing combination. Four entirely unoriginal situations arise, we have Nathan and Hayley driving home, we have poor Jamie and his annoying friend and girlfriend riding with the teacher, we have Brooke and Julian fighting and of course Quinn home alone, Clay of course being unable to travel due to the weather. Slightly odd that Jamie should choose to ride with his teacher for no reason and Julian and Brooke should have a fight on this most inhospitable of evenings.
Nathan and Hayley get a flat tyre. At this point I was expecting werewolves or zombies to appear, which would have resulted in the turning off of One Tree Hill forevermore, but fortunately such fate was avoided. Then Brooke and Julian fight and she drives off. She then finds Jamie and the gang turned over at the side of the road. BRILLIANT. This delighted me greatly. The teacher looked gravely injured, but the children seemed fine. Two got out, then miraculously the teacher escaped but Jamie was trapped so Brooke helps him by getting into the car. She also lets the teacher, who clearly is not adept at coping with such adverse weather conditions when driving proceed to take the other children to the hospital, despite suffering a major gash to the head. Julian arrives and more genius occurs as a car driven by an unknown driver knocks the stricken vehicle into the water below. AMAZING. At this point my mouth was hanging open and I was thinking Christ Almighty they've actually nailed it.
Meanwhile, over at Quinn's the murderer has bided her time and found Quinn in bed, Quinn hides under the bed (stealth) but is soon found and a cat fight breaks out. Quinn makes it to the car but a huge tree has blocked her path. Now I don't know where this tree came from, but I have never seen any trees of that size near to a beach. Alas. Quinn is in the car, and could simply reverse over her attacker. No, she decides to hurry back into the confinement of the house, where further scrapping ensues, resulting in them both falling through a balcony and into the pool. The murderer seems to come off best and the audience is led to believe Quinn is dead. Great I thought. There is going to be at least two tragedies tonight.
Back at the bridge, Jamie, Julian and Brooke are now trapped in the car. Then the levee breaks and more water enters the scene. How Peyton would have loved the Led Zeppelin references. Oh the irony! Julian frees Jamie and goes back for Brooke but can't save her. Brooke Davis dead. Fantastic. So great. People love the tragedies in these shows, its what its all about. Hayley and Nathan arrive and Jamie says it aloud "Aunt Brooke is dead", Julian sobbing in the foreground. The end. Black screen. Finish. Please watch next week....
Oh no wait. This is One Tree Hill, nothing bad can actually happen. Both death victims then suddenly awaken and are fine. Quinn even finds the time to shoot the murderer and tell her she is "her storm", whatever that means. Almost there One Tree Hill. You nearly had it. At least Mouth wasn't in it.

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.
