I have noticed of late that the episode titles seemingly have no relevance to what happens in the rest of the show. Today's entry named "The Man who sailed around his soul" was distinctly average. It was in the weirdest order. In fact I don't think it was in any order really. It seemed to revolve around Jamie's baseball game, but with weird irrelevant flashbacks. I know I keep saying this but the theme tune? Really? What was that? I would prefer silence.
What excited me the most about this episode (except for Quinn in that outrageously small bikini) was the potential return of Dan Scott. He did not actually appear, but I feel his return could be imminent. I hope he isn't all reformed and sweet if he does though, he needs to be classic evil Dan Scott, my favourite villain since Jafar. How trying it will be for Nathan if he seeks to rebuild their relationship.
By some complicated version of events involving urine samples, it turns out by the grace of God Brooke Davis is finally pregnant. It was always going to happen, especially after the adoption disaster. I was more pleased for Julian, and it appears they are now not leaving, which at least means they have some characters of substance remaining.
The mean tutor turned out not to be so mean, and Nathan, Quinn and Julian performed some sort of mafia style road trip with the Nathan Scott of baseball and taught him a lesson at the bridge where he had crashed previously. I enjoyed it greatly when Nathan offered to help him from the water, and then smacked him in the face. Go Scott!
Besides the classic American TV sports episode of hitting a winner in the last minute of the game, a trait which Jamie seems to have successfully inherited from his father, and Chuck being annoying, not much else happened. Two more episodes to go. Then whatever will I write about. Probably nothing, as noone reads it anyway.

You do not deceive me One Tree Hill
Aha! Some classic One Tree Hill deception was brought out in today's episode. Trying to trick us mere mortals that the mean tutor had run into Jamie and Brooke's car on the bridge on that almost fatal night. I of course was not fooled at all, and did not even doubt once that he was responsible for the crime. So obvious. The hard father with the difficult relationship with his son sacrifices everything he has so that his son can succeed. A classic. I can't believe it took Nathan so long to work out.
Julian was very angry in this particular episode, it did not suit him at all. I much prefer him as a wise owl.
Quinn grated me exceptionally. She is generally annoying as a character and I feel I only allow this as she is so fit. I realised tonight for the first time that in the opening credits they show Millicent wearing her "zero is not a size t-shirt", despite the fact that Quinn is as wide as a broom handle. This of course, is by know means a bad thing, just saying. Theme tune was also shocking again.
How big was that baby by the way? Jesus.
Ooooooo. Look at us. We're Millicent and Mouth, team journo. What should we write about? Drug stores? Planes? Oh no wait, they have no relevance to anything. AHA!!! They are building on the river court, let's prevent this because of all the memories. Let's write about that. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Chase. Be reasonable. Get with Alex. You will never do any better. Especially not with Amy Winehouse.
Brooke leaving for New York, the river court closing, Nathan quitting basketball. It all seems to be coming to a nice uneventful end. I am concerned another season beckons though. What misery can we expect from that? I cannot contain my excitement.

Waaaaaaaahey
A twist. Two in fact! They did come in separate episodes, as individually they were far too boring to be written about in separate entities. Therefore I decided to create a superblog. Lol. I was most delighted, and actually punched my fist in the air with elation when the second twist arrived.
First twist being that the Nathan Scott of Baseball was the man who knocked the car into the river. I had incorrectly, although in light of recent predictability, entirely reasonably assumed it was Chase, as there have been several shots of him drinking recently. I also wondered if it was going to be the annoying child's alcoholic mother. I'm glad that it was who it is though. Will Nathan give him a chance or will he ruin him like he deserves to be ruined? I presume that One Tree Hill's obsession with morality will ensure that the Nathan Scott of baseball pays for what he has done. Hear hear!
In the birthing episode, they went for the classic flashback style. I quite enjoyed this, as it reminded me of the days when One Tree Hill was actually good. From the start I had hoped that one of several situations would arise - that Hayley would die, that the baby would die, that Brooke's baby would be an ethnic minority or that the girl would decide not to give up her child. My dream was in fact that Mouth would be run over by a steam roller, but that was probably too much to wish for and also slightly irrelevant. The last one, arguably the most likely, happened. I was pleased it did, as I enjoy watching the suffering more than the joy. Poor Brooke and Julian, they were so close to the most ridiculously easy adoption in history, only to have it snatched from them at the final moments. Oh well, I'm sure she will either miraculously become pregnant or get a child soon enough. I also enjoyed how she held Hayley's baby whilst suppressing her pain. Well done Brooke.
Jamie Scott's weird narration was also highly unnecessary and irrelevant. I do not care about how many babies are born daily. I do not watch One Tree Hill to find out such information.
Finally, I keep forgetting to do this but the theme tunes are deteriorating at a rate of knots. Every episode has a different one. This one was a nice little grunge number. I'm sure Gavin de Graw or whatever his name is will not be content. Maybe they are going to bring out a One Tree Hill Season 8 theme tunes album. I will not be buying it, nor should anyone. They'll be lucky if anyone buys the box set.

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.

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.
