This is so great that CW is giving one tree hill 22 episodes for Season 5. One Tree Hill is going to kick some serious ass in the ratings. That means i have more hope that Lucas and Brooke will end up together with 22 episodes instead of 13.

I hope Mark S, the creator of OTH writes Lucas and Brooke as the end game. I understand that he wants to please all the viewers with Leyton fans and Brucas Fans. I for one and hoping for Brucas because i love Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush in scenes together, they have such hot chemistry. Its as hot as Allison Sweeney and James scott on days. lol

Mark promises that Season 5 will show alot of emotion between the characters etc. Mark does not lie, he isn't like Brian Fronz or Ken Corday. Mark S actually cares about the fans. He is hoping for season 6 next if Season 5 does good in ratings which i expect for them to do quite well.

wow. skipping ahead was a great idea. its almost like watching a breand new show.

i loved it. brooek davis rocked the fashion world. peyton failed in l.a. and lost who she was; lucas couldnt write; nathan's career was over; hayleys marriage falling apart....

i also love the kid who plays James/Jamie he is sooo cute and a good actor for his age. I love the bond they have between him and Brooke as well.

I am loving the flashbacks. You leanr a little, not too much, but enough to understand, but it leaves you wanting more.

I also love how it ended with everyone comming home.

Brooke buying Karnes old lot to turn into her office; Peyton running her own record label - backed by brookes money - in the office at tric; lucas writing again; haylee reaching her breaking point and nathan waking up.

i cant wait for the rest of this season.

Wow it's been awhile. I've been so busy not having time to post or even get online but I just had to say I saw OTH last night and the show was amazing. The skip was an awesome idea and everything just seems like a breath of fresh air. I am totally loving Lucas and Peyton still and kinda like how his new girlfriend is giving them some sort of conflict so it wont be to easy but I can't wait till they find their way back to each other :)

my jaw dropped i was shcoked that DZ was brookes mother - AND I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN MONTHS AGO! (when i read she joined the cast i called it, thats just tooo good of casting for it not to be her mother). great ending now.

jamie lucas is the best. he steals the show! less mouth! more jamie!!

was there a point for lucas opr skillz in this episode? no didnt think so.

love the nany and the new girlfriend. good casting, bother broguht on in a good way and both tie to the show well.

loved the nanny showing nathan jamie's secret. that was cute.

the dinner at the end was so sweet.

and peyton vs lucas girlfriend = awsome!

k-fed wasnt as bad as i thought. thats good.

K-Fed might want to transition into acting. He's not bad at all.

I am loving the balance of this season. I really think the writers tuned into BH90210 and MP to see how to work this cast. It didn't feel like Lucas' show, which is a good thing.

Another great episode. Did see that one coming either about Zuniga's character beeing Brooke's mother.

Word!

It felt like the "old OTH" when Mouth saw the evil employer at her office, walked in and told her off. Of course it ended with a kiss... :rolleyes:

Jamie is the best though. I enjoy every scene he's in. The dedication to his dad in the closet was the cutest thing ever.

Ohh, and it was great seeing Paul Johnasson again. He directed the last episode by the way (5.02 - Racing Like a Pro).

That kid looks exactly like CMM. Someone baby cloned him from his dna or something. He looks so much like Chad's kid. He looks absolutely nothing like JL nor Bethany. I am still trying to see how in the world that worked out.

nepotism at it's worst.

I will say that I thought the first/second episodes were great. However I didn't care for the third episode and now it looks like we only have nine or so to go until this season is over. I love Brooke and I love that they had so much interaction between Brooke and Lucas. I am a major fan of Sophia Bush and Chad Micheal Murray. They are both just awesome and they have a great chemistry. SB has grown so much into her role and Brooke is now my favorite female character on OTH.

Major praises to James Laferty for learning how to act during the break because quite honestly watching him was getting to be painful.

I will say that so far the ratings seem atrocious. The show dropped over 850,000 veiwers within a one week period. That's a massive down. Nearly a quarter of their previous audience tuned out. Not a good way to start the season, especially since the CW might cancel it if it doesn't perform well enough.

1 "4 Years, 6 Months, 2 Days" January 8, 2008 3.36

2 "Racing Like a Pro" January 8, 2008 3.59

3 "My Way Home is Through You" January 15, 2008 2.74

The ratings increased this week.

It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) January 22, 2008 3.05

I really thought that we were going to get a real scene this week, as it turns out nothing yet again. I was actually really thrilled when Peyton went after Lucas after he told her "he's not good enough for you". I thought Lucas and Peyton were going to have a real fight and that we would get to see something interesting and some movement in the storylines. But atlas no, what we got was a red herring. A silly little scene where Peyton just says "don't do that Lucas it's not fair!".

I think that could have been so much more emotional, so much better and overall much more interesting if they actually did go threw with it and have Lucas and Peyton stop tip-toeing around one another and get to the meaty stuff. But it is probably going to take for ever for them to finally talk something out.

I am not a fan of most of the storylines. I don't casre for Lucas job coaching the basketball team, Hayley's teaching job, Brooke's clothing line or Peyton's producing, ect. These job storylines are uneventful and uninteresting. I don't care about the stupid basketball player who sees no reason to go to school nor do I care about the Federage and "his band".

The meat of One Tree Hill has always been in the relationships. Be it rivalries, friendships, romances, families, ect. As it turns out none of this is present. Naley are happy again (why?) quite honestly Naley drama is what the show needed for both characters. We needed to see the destructive and not so pretty side of marriage so that they could over come it and we would root for them. Quite honestly the fantasy that is Naley has been nauseatingly sweet since they were together. Not to mention unbelieveable as teen marriage, teen pregnancies, basketball/music careers DON'T happen like that 97% of the time.

It is possiable for Naley not to be happy 24/7 no? Quite honestly it finally gives their relationship a sense of realism. But it's not to be. Hopefully Nathan sleeps with the Nanny because I am beyond tired of the fantasy that is Naley.

Brooke is celibate (which is uninteresting for story development), Lucas/Lindsey/Peyton are boring as nothing is happening right now and Racheal is seemingly non-existant.

The only interesting developments to me so far is Brooke/Mother and Mouth/Boss lady

Hopefully next week will be more interesting with the Brucas/Leyton shift.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
    • GH 1976 Pt 8 Heather takes advantage of the situation by asking Jeff to come and look at Tommy. She uses sympathy, compassion, and her own feminine wiles, together with his misery and his pills, to lure him into bed. Later, sober, he apologizes. Learning from Pearson that Monica has seen a divorce lawyer, Jeff confronts her, and she insists it’s a lie. Avoiding his attempts to kiss her, she musses her hair and tears her blouse, then rushes to Rick’s, claiming that she can’t stay with that maniac any longer. They wind up in Rick’s bed, and after making love he confesses he always loved her. Rick replies to her question of whether he wants to marry her by saying he has to talk to Jeff. Monica insists that Jeff not bear any pressure from their problems. As she leaves, Rick gives her a key to his apartment. Jeff, having spent the night drinking, misses his surgical assignment, and Steve, informing him that his personal life can’t interfere with his profession, puts him on suspension. Rick can’t persuade Steve to reverse his decision, but Mark, sensing what’s at the heart of Jeff’s problem, convinces Steve to lift Jeff’s suspension and transfer him to Mark’s service. Rick asks for his key back, telling Monica they can’t do anything as long as she’s under Jeff’s roof. So she has a duplicate made and moves into intern’s quarters, explaining that Jeff’s violence drove her out. She tells Jeff she needs privacy to work things out, and tells Rick Jeff wanted her out. Thinking that this is the preliminary to a divorce, Rick tells her she can come to his place. In New York, Leslie’s abortion is delayed by a mix-up in scheduling, and she calls Terri to commiserate. Rick overhears Terri’s conversation and forces the whole story from her. He flies to New York to stop Leslie, feeling responsible for pointing out how evil Cam was, and arrives to find that she has decided she can’t deny her child the right to live. Monica, meanwhile, expecting that Rick will be home, uses her key to let herself into his apartment and is shocked to find Mark there; knowing that Mark was uncomfortable at the hotel, Rick offered Mark use of the apartment in his absence. Monica is upset to learn that Rick is in New York with Leslie, and Mark doesn’t know why. Mark does advise Monica to play fair with Jeff, but she resents his interference. The next day, while covering for Leslie at the clinic, Monica discovers Leslie’s lab test report and jumps to the conclusion that the baby is Rick’s. When Rick and Leslie return, Monica wastes no time in accusing him. He is dismayed to see that she is still as suspicious and possessive as she was before he went to Africa, and points out that her making a duplicate  key proves she hasn’t changed. Terri encourages Leslie to see Rick in a romantic light and then suggests to Rick that Leslie is interested in him. Rick likes this idea and tells Mark he’s growing ‘unwilling to cope with Monica’s unreasonable demands. But Monica immediately recognizes the threat Leslie represents and decides to attack. She goes to Leslie and tells her flatly that she and Rick are having an affair and he’s her exclusive property. Leslie, who realizes she has been falling in love with Rick, is hurt, and Rick is mystified when he feels Leslie pulling away from him. Monica’s big moment comes when she brings Rick a housewarming gift and seduces him into letting her stay overnight. She is in the bedroom when Leslie stops by to apologize for refusing his dates, and makes a dramatic entrance into the living room draped in Rick’s bathrobe. Leslie turns and runs out. Rick later informs her he’s disappointed in her, because she prejudged Monica and him rather than giving him the benefit of the doubt. Heather tries to arrange another tryst with Jeff, but he replies that he still loves his wife. Heather decides there’s only one way to get Jeff to be pregnant with his child. She manages to overhear Monica putting Jeff down by telling him he no longer turns her on and should look for someone he does. Heather goes to Jeff and tells him that she heard Monica and that she is the one he’s looking for. She manages to get him into bed again, and sweetly assures him this is right. She then sets the stage for future meetings. Steve, meanwhile, offers to help Monica and Jeff work out their problems. Jeff is willing, but Monica turns the idea down. Instead, she presses Terri to convince Jeff to end the marriage. Terri now knows that Monica isn’t a good wife for Jeff and promises to try. But Jeff makes it clear to Monica that he still loves her and won’t let her go. She is bitter and upset, as she has already implied to Rick that she will soon be free. Audrey is upset to find that Florence Andrews has been inquiring about Tommy and herself. She goes to Florence’s home and finds she’s away now. Florence has gone down to Mexico to sign a sworn statement that she purchased a false death certificate for Tom, to protect his son after his wrongful conviction. Tom, learning from her that Steve and Audrey are to be married and Steve is planning to adopt Tommy, tells  Florence not to do anything, as there’s still no assurance that he’ll ever get out. But the judge does accept the statement, and, ironically, on the day that Steve  and Audrey are married, Tom is released from prison.
    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblance  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since “Fran” doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learned  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to his  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't be  won't be able to call him “Mr. All Talk and No action” after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
