This episode was pretty great. I didn't enjoy it as much as the third season finale, "The Show Must Go On," but this was a great conclusion. Cooper nearly died. Rachel told Cooper she was pregnant, but she lied, which I saw coming. Now, it's either Brooke or Haley that's pregnant, but I saw a later episode so I know who is pregnant. I knew it wasn't Rachel because if she knew she was pregnant, she wouldn't have had any alcohol at the wedding. Brooke gave it away when she started to say, "I'm holding it for..." So, that means Haley is obviously pregnant. It was very easy to pick up on, but great episode.
After the tragic accident, Cooper surfaces. Lucas finds Nathan and Rachel on the land unconscious. At the hospital, Nathan and Rachel wake up, but Cooper might die. Dan threatens Deb for her murder attempt. Dan covers up the MURDERER written on his wall. Brooke breaks up with Lucas. Peyton finds out that she has a half-brother. Nathan is greatly affected by the accident. Karen is skeptical about her pregnancy until Lucas reassures her. Skills wants to join the Ravens.
This episode was pretty good! It was a little under what I'd expected. I loved the season 3 finale, but this wasn't as satisfying, although it was a great episode. I'm sad about Brooke and Lucas breaking up, but I like Lucas and Peyton. This episode gets a 9.0 out of 10!
New season, same life... hide show
I thought that this episode would make light in my head... but no... not even a clue...everything is much like
after the final episode of the 3rd season.
Who is pregnant? Brooke, Haley? I go on with my theory...Haley I think, but who knows? This is Tree Hill isn't it!
I can't remember if the last time that person "Watchmewatchu" Brooke and Peyton were fighting, because if that's so, then it's Brooke... but if not?!?!?!??!
Why is Peyton and Lucas getting along again? :( He should spend much time with Brooke but noooo!!! I remain at my idea
Lucas is such a stupid guy...
What is Dan looking for? What he wants from Karen? I can't have faith in this man...he was so mean since now... I love the ting Mouth sad:"We're always waiting for our life to begin"... so true, I found myself in that one. Never wait for something new, see what you have in present. They say never live in the past...but what about the future?
After re-watching this episode, and even though i know what happens i still got goosebumps! hide show
WOW! I think this episode was so much better the second time around - if thats even possible. First off I believe Nathan and Lucas both looked so hot in this episode!! (as per usual, and it's quite obvious but i just needed to point that out). I thought Haley was really believeable with her actions and expressions during the terror of the whole limo off the bridge thing. And i loved it when she was all angry at Rachel - that looked really good! This episode has made me appreciate the Leyton relationship - Lucas and Peyton always come to each other for support and just to chat. It was so cute them hanging out together with the itunes game. So i approved of Leyton now lol. I also approve of Leyton becuase the Brucas break up was great. I know its heaps sad - blah blah blah, but i think it was a romantic break up. (even though Lucas didn't really listen to half of what she was saying - which i think kinda proves her point..) But it was a good ending. I also love how 4 of the women were thought to be pregnant - and the last sequence makes you think it's either Brooke or Haley, that was heaps interesting when i first watched it. PLus it also sparked a little something in Naley - they didn't get their honeymoon and Nathan's not letting Haley in. that would totally suck!
After a huge season three cliffhanger, I've been eagerley awaiting to see this episode, and I was far from disappointed. A fantastic episode. hide show
The thing that makes this this series-opening episode so great, is that it doesn't seem to favour any specific account. Instead, the episode appears to cater equally to each character's own individual storyline.
The episode answers the burning questions that the finale left us with, as well as introducing us to some new storylines, and then succesfully wrapped up some of last season's loose ends.
I'm sure most people were anxious to know whether or not Nathan was going to live, and this is question is quickly answered within the first ten minutes of the episode.
Whilst I'm not completely certain on what the continuous flashbacks Nathan was having were about, I'm still interested to see what happens next and how it impacts on both Nathan and Haley.
The encounter between Lucas and Brooke, when they broke up, was great. I found it was neccessary to break the pair up then and I'm glad the writers didn't keep prolonging this storyline.
Once again, it was fantastic to see Deb and Dan at each others' throats. I'm very interested to see what happens next between those two.
Karen's pregnancy, whilst feeling a little off and unnatural (possibly because Karen reminds me of my mum), will probably become a much more appealing storyline as the series continues.
The scene between Karen and Dan made me curious as to what the writers are planning on doing with these two characters. The thought of Dan and Karen being friends, or even non-enemies, seems a little strange to me - and I would hate it, as I love the contraversy Dan causes as the most despised character on One Tree Hill - but the encounter didn't seem nearly as strange to the characters as it did to me, apparently.
As for Peyton... whilst her brother storyline doesn't really tie in with anything of the other storylines, I'm still just as inquisitive to see what happens next, and the direction the writers will take her character.
Lastly, I actually cared for Rachel a bit. And like I've already said for nearly every storyline, I am very interested to see what happens next, with Cooper and the detective guy, etc.
Overall, this was a great season opener. The end of the episode makes me really enthralled to see what will happen next, in each and every storyline.
The writers did an applaudable job at setting up the forth season, and I can't wait to watch the rest! 9.4/10
