As many of my true fans know, One Tree Hill changed my life. Last winter during the writer's strike I was desperate for new teen drama. I had never gotten into OTH and so I tuned into the Soap Network (Channel 262 for Directv customers) and started with the daily rerun.
It didn't take long before I was hooked. I was very impressed with the acting ability of Brooke and Lucas especially considering the off the screen difficulties with their marriage (another marriage ruined by Paris Hilton).
I think pound for pound Dan Scott might be the best villain on TV, and how do the writers get me to feel sympathy for him after he killed his brother in cold blood?
It might be the only show on TV where I get chills wondering what will happen next. Well Monday night's episode has really left me in a funk. We have all been inspired by the feel good story of Q, the troubled black basketball star who under the tutelage of Haley Scott and the mentoring of Nathan Scott had turned his life around and was really planning for a life off the court in case the whole NBA thing didn't work out.
About 45 minutes in I was near tears of joy when Q finished Les Miserables and got an A+ on his paper. 10 minutes later he gets shot to death in a convenience store as an accidental witness to a felony murder. Honestly OTH, couldn't we have just maimed him, why death? Saddening. RIP my brother.
A few other show notes from this week's episode. Deb is the hottest grandma on the planet. Payton is soooo annoying, is she really so caught up in her own engagment to believe Brooke's lame fall down the stairs excuse? Honestly Payton, you couldn't see that she also had grab marks around her arm and neck, last I checked bannisters didn't have fingers.
I can't wait for Dan to give Nanny Carrie the business, and I hope he somehow takes care of Q's murderer while he is at it.
Your Plan Sucks!

Funny post Jono, just one thing, you just started watching it? that's funny, because I remember sitting with McKay, watching reruns of the OC, and seeing OTH. I taped it and we started loving it. Then you came into the game last and started watching it to. Not a HUGE deal but it would be nice to get a little bit of credit for such a life changing event. What bugged the most is when I asked why you left out my credit you said, "it didn't flow funnily enough." Back me up Mckay.
Ha Ha, "it didn't flow funnily enough." That's like Spencer responding to Heidi about painting their apartment yellow "ehhhhh....wrong." I have to back Anneli up, she took the initiative of recording it because we thought "hey, its part of the happy hour of 90210 and the OC, its got to be good." The first episode we saw was Boy Auction and instantly we were hooked and looking forward to the new rerun everyday.

I just watched the episode and was speechless when Erin asked me something. I was paralized. I loved Q. The only other time I have felt like that was when Seth left the O.C. to sail to Tahiti in The O.C. season 1 finale. I hope Tree Hill dedicates the basketball season to him and wins the state championship. p.s. I can't stand Payton and Lucas together, they are so annoying, especially Payton. I threw up a little when she said she would sleep on the floor with Lucas if he broke his bed. Lame. I don't know what think right now about OTH, it's heartbreaking.
Who didn't throw up just a bit of their dinner when Payton said that? gag. When will the writers figure out that we want Lucas and Brooke back together? But I will give the writers some serious credit, how do they make me root for Dan, when he abandoned Lucas for his whole life, until Dan needed something. Then made Keith's life miserable, who was like a dad to Lucas. Then paid a girl to pretend to love Keith and still wasn't happy when she ditched him at the alter, so he killed him. Am I missing anything OTH fans? Nevertheless, I still can't wait until Dan "gives Nanny Carrie the business." Incredible.
