Photo shoot on the roof

8.0

"Great"

By GilmoreFan86, Mar 30, 2012

I loved the photo shoot on the roof of COB/Karen's Cafe. It's such an important part of the show. They've done something on the roof in almost every season. I think season 6 was the only time they weren't up there.

Alex sucks. I don't really like her, but she is an interesting character.

I can't believe Clay even considered paying off that whore. They know she is lying. Nathan would never cheat on Haley. I loved having Haley go off on Clay. That was amazing.

It's sort of nice to see how Dan and Rachel got together. Not that I care, but it's quite funny since she recognized him right away. I still just can't believe she would even go there. Hooking up with Dan Scott is quite out there for Rachel. And for Dan too since he had such an issue with Deb and Skills.

I absolutely loved the lizard or whatever it was in the bathtub. We found out in season 2 that Skills has a fear of animals so it was really cool seeing that in play again.moreless

I loved it.

"Perfect"

By ZSinnett, Sep 10, 2010

I don't know why, but "Hold My Hand As I'm Lowered" was just wonderful. It had a good mix of comedy and drama throughout it. There wasn't any negative points. No overuse of Jamie, no under use of the main cast, it was great. Brooke, Quinn, and Millie hold a photo shoot for Alex and it was quite comical. Nathan has to decide whether to pay off his possible dirty mistress. In the end he decided to not pay her. Haley gave Clay a peice of her mind, but later they reconnected. Alex set her sights on Julian. Mouth told Skills that he didn't have to move out. Rachel sets Dan up on his talk show (gotta love her). Quinn continues with her marital problems. Overall, this episode is a solid 10, although I do miss Lucas & Peyton.moreless

Dan is still being weird, Rachel is just ugh, still no sign of Deb yet which sucks, Clay defends Nathan, Haley deals with the aftermath of her husbands supposed affair, Nathan deals with telling Jamie which is terrible for him. Brooke is awesome as usual.moreless

"Perfect"

Dan is creeping me out ugh Rachel is just weird! Haley finally breaks down infront of Brooke and Brooke takes care of her friend which is sweet I love Sophia and Joy together (Bethany Joy) for those of you who don't know lol) Clay helps defend Nathan and really comes through for him in the end which kinda sucks for Nathan I honestly thought he was gunna pay her at first this is gunna end up really bad for Nathan and I feel bad for him. how do you tell your son that you messed up like that. Milile is annoying as anything ugh Mark just please get rid of her... cant wait for next week... Brooke's mom finally comes back this should be an interesting week... anyways until next weekmoreless

Not good at all.

"Bad"

By stewie1423, Sep 10, 2010

This show is getting really annoying now. It's either boring and pointless, filled with over the top drama and not so great writing. Why should I care about Skills and Mouth having a playful fight about the apartment? That had far too much screen time. Haley wasn't even in this one that much...it would have been better if she was.

Quinn and Clay just aren't being developed enough...this is the 3rd episode in a row where Quinn has been whining/being depressed about this whole husband thing. At least he arrived at the end...perhaps the only good bit in the whole episode.
I think the Nathan scandal seems really forced...it just isn't clicking with me...nothing big happened with Brooke/Julian. The Rachel/Dan pairing is beyond stupid....seriously talk about desperate writing. Just really, really bad.moreless

Awesome. My favorite so far!

"Perfect"

By smgraci, Sep 10, 2010

I thought this episode was the best yet. i LOVED the end, where Clay tells off the demon lady. "Its empty because your a lying b*tch and we're not paying you a dime. Go to hell." (i love how this wont let me write b*tch the right way, considering its a quote straight out of the show! haha. but anyways, it was AWESOME & i love Clay. I think he's a fantastic addition, along with Quinn. Alex is also a newbie, and although she's crazy and is obviously gonna stir up a lot of drama, practically every scene with her in it was enjoyable and made me literally laugh out loud. I think that Brooke is as fabulous as ever, especially with Julian! And i love the scene where her, Haley & Quinn are together when Haley finally breaks down and tells them about the scandal with Nathan. Its like they're all starting to mesh well and become a group of best friends. We need to see those relationships again. One thing i do wish is that Haley would get her hair cut short again. She looked so sophisticated in the 5th & 6th seasons. Same with Brooke. I don't know whats going on with Brooke's hair, but she often looks like a drowned rat. I also wish that Haley would confront this woman that is stirring up the rumors. I know they're all 'grown ups' now, but it would be nice to see Haley fight for her man. & don't get me started on Dan and Rachel! Everyone else hates it, but I love it! I think they're a match: Dan is looking for happiness anywhere he can possibly find it, and BAM, theres Rachel, and all she wants is a man that she thinks is gonna die so she can have his wallet. Or, maybe they really are a match, considering they met in a strip club & they both know that they can be better.. so they can help each other out. Any way you spin it, i like them. Its something new, and thats exactly what the show needs... something that makes you say, "WHAT?!?!?!?" :)

Overall, I thought it was a great episode. It gives you an idea of whats gonna happen in the future (with Alex & her pills, Quinn's husband showing up, Nathan not paying the demon lady, etc.) I'm super excited to see whats to come. i love one tree hill!moreless
