    'Pictures of You' is amazing episode about the emotions a high school senior feels in his/her last year in high school.Can 50 minutes with a classmate can change you?The answer is maybe yes because sharing your secrets to the others can change your view of life.I love the storyline and the idea that nothing is what it seems.You see a classmat every day in school sitting next to you and you think you know him/her but actually you only have a vision about him/her and don't know his/her soul.
    Lucas and Glenda were very interesting together because Lucas didn't even know her full name.This is the idea that the high school is divided into popular kids and geeks.Glenda's story was very touching.
    Peyton paired with Nathan to realize that Nathan has changed a lot since they broke up.It also showed us how deep our characters changed their personalities through the years.The picture of Nathan is remarkable.
    Brooke paired with Chase.Firstly,Chase is mad at Brooke for the calculus test but after the minutes spent with her he realizes that she is not just the popular soiled rich girl and has her own concerns,fears and dreams.
    Hailey and Skills are the favorite pair of mine because they were so heart-warming together sharing their fears and dreams for the future.
    Mouth and Shelly were good too.I am happy for Mouth because the guy was told he is sexy from a beautiful girl which is actually what he was wishing for through these seasons.Shelly's story was moving too.
    Rachel and Bevin were so funny together-Rachel getting high,Bevin kissing Rachel and their pictures were the funniest.
    In few words,I adore this episode!!!moreless

    I Love this episode, and peple who have read other reviews i have wrote are probably thinking she always says that, and it's not my fault it's Mark Schwahn's he writes amazing episodes and so does everyone else that contributes to writting episodes. i haven't even been whatching One Tree HIll a year yet and i'm already hooked. I love this episode for a number of reasons it puts people together that maybe wouldn't have hung out with each other e.g mouth and shelly and i think it's good that mouth got to hang out with shelly. I also love it because this ep is hilarious all the impression they do are great especially hayley. I also love the pics they take bevin's is deffinitley the best where she is in the boys toilets pretending t be a guy i loev it.moreless

  • This episode was too much talking, not enough action. In terms of the series, the episode did nothing to move the character's stories forward. The episode seems awfully familiar to the talky eps of the Boy Toy auction and the time capsule.moreless

    "Good"
    Not one of the best episodes. Very talkative and the first rule of movies/television is that talking heads is never a good thing. I coud say I'd give it an "E" for effort, but the ep seemed vaguely familiar, not only ripping off "Breakfast Club" and similar movies, but also the series itself. These teen confessionals had already been done before in Boy Toy Auction, Dare Night and Time Capsule. The secrets revealed weren't that secret, but rather predictable. While talking about their dreams, these kids seems so self-involved. A big plot of the previous episode was Deb's suicide attempt, but the show missed the boat by not showing Nate's reaction to it, especially after she downed the pills after he kicked her out of his house. I wanted to see if Nate would feel guilty, but he only mentioned it in one throw-away line to Peyton. The question asked can one class change your life? Sadly, this episode answered the question, not really.moreless

    This episode was pretty good. Mouth needs to shut up and get over the fact that Jimmy shot Peyton and he died. Boo-hoo. It was last season, get over it. I liked when they did the character/person impersonations. I can't believe Haley did the Ashley Olsen thing. It was hilarious! I loved when Rachel got high. "In 10 years, I plan to be 28." ROTFL! That was pretty funny! Chase learns Brooke's secrets, but they still end up kissing. Clean teen Shelley thinks that Mouth is hot, and they make out... After calling him a geek in front of the whole class. Great episode. 5 stars.moreless

    The pairs;

    Lucas and Glinda - after she is initially hurt by Lucas not knowing her last name, Glinda eventually begins to open up to him and he reveals his novel to her. Lucas lives up to his kind hearted reputation.

    Brooke and Chase - He finally meets the reall Brooke Davis. But she's not who the world thinks she is. It's nice to see she has insecurities and worries beyond her shallow facade and she shows the real real Brooke who's a lot like us all.

    Nathan and Peyton - it was like re-living the boy toy auction. Easily the worst couple that tree hill ever produced, but as friends they turn out to be pretty cool. Hayley and Skills - He lets down his barriers and really opens up. turns out he's just as scared about his future as everyone else. Hayley worrying about being a mom, FINALLY! all along it was the financial side of the equation bothering her but her telling skills about how scared she is makes her even more lovable.

    Mouth and Shelly - sort of a filler couple, but they teach us about false impressions, and how they are practically never true.

    Rachel and Bevin - i think they were the funniest couple. but Bevin really learns to stick up for herself, her little speech about high school was so inspiring for anyoone who wasn't one of the popular girls.

    The pictures at the end are awesome, so are the words that the teens say about each other.moreless

    • Peyton: So I guess I was right about the partial nudity thing. Boys lockroom? Nathan: Just following the assignment. Peyton: Ok. Nathan: You see this? The summer I decided to really dedicate myself to basketball, my dad said I was way too skinny to ever be a great player. He said I wasn't tough enough, that I wasn't strong enough. So to prove him wrong, I spent every single day in this training room. It was like a thousand degrees in it, but I wasn't gonna let him be right. Peyton: Anger's motivation. Nathan: Anger and inspiration. Everytime I benched another ten pounds, I scratched two letters, under the plate. Peyton: What does it say? PS? Nathan: It was the same summer we started dating. We were pretty good together weren't we? Peyton: Gimme your hand. Ok, I want you to feel this. Nathan: Geez what happened? Peyton: I broke that knuckle punching something after we'd broken up for like the twentieth time! We were horrible together! Nathan: Yeah, I know, I was kinda hoping you forgot. Peyton: No. Edit
    • Glenda: So I've been thinking about your manuscript. You need to give it to someone who won't go easy with you, someone who's gonna tell you the truth... Lucas: Someone like you? Glenda: I haven't actually been that truthful, I mean not about school. The truth is I'm gonna miss this place. And it's all my fault. I just wish I would have tried harder, and I just didn't wanna look like an idiot. Lucas: I think everybody feels that way sometimes. You know like people don't see them for who they really are. It's not just you. Glenda: You would have made a great goth you know? A little tortured, a bit of a loner, but kind. Edit
