Peyton & Lucas

Pretty exciting episode!
Samantha smuggles a boy into her room and Brooke freaks out. Nathan has a chance to try out in front of a bunch of major coaches. Jamie has a kiddie piano recital, but he’s not exactly in love with playing the piano. Brooke gets a shot at designing clothes for Lucas’ film and Peyton goes to see the doctor for her stomach pains, while Lucas jets off to Los Angeles to meet with a movie director.

I thought Dawson’s Creek James van der Beek was a big disappointment as a coke snorting movie buff. Unconvincing and even pathetic. Shame, I liked him in HIMYM as Robin’s geeky ex.

Soooo, does Peyton have cancer? Will she die? Will Lucas and Peyton get married before she dies? Will the wedding be in the hospital? Or will they search for a miracle cure?

And what’s going to happen with Sam and the creepy older brother who shot Q.?!
And Millie and OWEN? Owen back on the booze? Millie going all slutty? Why oh why didn’t she just sleep with her own boyfriend, Mouth, rather than make a big deal out of not a hell of a lot and keep spying on Mouth and Gigi? Still, I guess it’s never bad to sleep with a handsome stud like Owen, so maybe Millie’s onto something….

More One Tree Hill:

OTH: We Three
OTH: Even fairytale Characters would be jealous

Bethany Joy Galeotti/Haley

One Tree Hill goes Casablanca, which basically means that all the story lines get played out in a forties setting. Ish. Brooke is in debt with Dan, Lucas is still trying to deal with Julian, Mouth is onto something big.

I must admit, I never much saw the point of Haley or her singing, she always had these highly forgettable ditties that seemed to consist of singing the same boring line over and over and over again, but wow! She blew me out of the water with that song she sang last night! And she looked GREAT! She should really be singing this kind of stuff, rather than the poppy nothingish crap she usually tackles. Loved the whole look of the ep, actually. Casablanca is a bit lame, are there no other movies to parody? Then again, it did give a nice twist to the characters and their relationships. And wonderful outfits. Luke should dress up like that more and I really want that dress Peyton was wearing. Anybody know where she got it?

Haley, awful dress

Rather uneventful episode, Nathan gets a visit from an old friend, Peyton holds a benefit for her brother Derek, Haley suffers from stage fright and Brooke has a shot at adopting a baby, but Sam doesn’t like it one bit. Gigi is still hitting on Mouth and ends up in his bed….

Loved the way Lucas punched Julian. I still say Peyton went about it all wrong, she should have underplayed it and never, ever, said “we were in love”. Yikes!
Anyway, I guess Movie Guy will be around for a bit (he’s cute, maybe he should have a go at Brooke?) Haley looked awful in that terrible dress! It was perfect for a ten year old going to Sunday school, not for a bunch of horny marines! Peyton looked great

Peyton

though.

Millie is a VIRGIN? And refuses to do any of “the other stuff”? Poor Mouth! I don’t think Nathan or Lucas ever had to put up with any of that crap. If she’s not gonna do any ’stuff’ Mouth should move on, come on, they’re not 12! They are living together!

Joe Manganiello, aka Hunky Owen

Lucas is trying to write the scene where Keith gets shot by Dan and receives a helping hand from an unexpected quarter, Nathan plays the semi finals of Slamball, but his rivals are out to hurt him, Brooke finds a naked man in her car and Jamie gets a lesson in economics from Sam.

Last episode ended with creepy movie buff buying Lucas’ book and Peyton freaking out. So who is this guy? The answer is reaaaaally boring. I was hoping for drug dealer, the man who sold her baby, her buddy in a bank robbery, but no, alas, it’s simply an ex boyfriend. So then we get a couple of flash backs which are supposed to portray a Great Love Affair, but it’s weak. They’re all loved up and then break up over a BOOK?!

And why doesn’t Peyton simply come out and tell Lucas? It’s a pretty good story for him, basically he broke them up! I know, I know, it’s a soap….

Finding a huge naked man in my car would have totally freaked me out as well, but on second thoughts, Owen is really hunky, so I don’t think I’d have kicked him out. Hot, hot, hot. I guess he’ll be gone again from now on, seen as Brooke doesn’t want to get back together and Nathan is quitting Slamball, and it’s a shame. ‘Cause he sure looked good getting arrested!

Anyway here’s the Sidereel/Megavideo link

James Van Der Beek on HIMYM

Ok, so I never liked James Van Der Beek much in Dawson’s Creek, I prefer my men with a bit of an edge and not quite so much teenage Angst. I really like him as a guest star though: he was hilarious as Robin’s balding, fat, Canadian loser ex in HIMYM and pretty scary as a serial killer in Criminal Minds, so I think he might be good in OTH.

Ok, for everyone who missed JVDB on HIMYM, here it is:

Also, I think it’s kinda nice. OTH are filming on the old Dawson set and apparently in OTH, James will play a movie buff who might be interested in turning Lucas’ book into a movie. Full circle, or what?

Exec Producer Mark Schwahn told Entertainment Weekly “We’re about to [complete] 128 episodes, which is what Dawson’s did,” And adds  “So I thought it would be cool to get James.”

So do we, so do we!

Brooke

You’ve dug your own grave… was quite an exciting episode. I actually jumped in my seat when Crazy Nanny Carrie suddenly appeared in the car window. Nice!

So what will happen next? Grandpa Dan still seems indestructible, even without a heart he’s still going around shooting people. Which in this case was good, but I really think it’s time for him to kick the bucket already. Doesn’t leave One Tree Hill with many villains though, so my guess is they’ll dig up a heart for the old Danster somewhere.

The Mick-is-my-dad-thing could get sorta interesting, I was really hoping that Mick would show up for dinner at Peyton’s and make a pass at her. The candlelit dinner for two could have so sent the wrong message to an ageing rock & roller! Might delay things for the wedding.

Nathan really needed a reality check: you haven’t played a game in eons and now the NBA is calling? Yeah right! What exactly does he live on anyway? He doesn’t have a job, maybe he should get one. Might get him off his high horse. I like Deb and Skills together. And I sincerely hope I look half as good when I get to Deb’s age!

Which brings me to Brooke: ok, I like Brooke as a character, but the Voice seems to be getting just a little worse each episode. Makes me sympathy cough throughout every episode and I’d like it to stop. I didn’t quit smoking to have my throat ripped because of Brooke!

Also, I think it’s time she got a life. The whole mom-thing is way past it’s due date. I know, they’re all only supposed to be in their early twenties, but as Brooke looks to be at least in her thirties, maybe it’s time to cut the cord: some moms suck. Deal with it! Guess she’ll be adopting the troubled shoplifting teen. Anyway, I’m liking this season, how ’bout you?
