  • One Tree Hill tries a dream-sequence episode with the characters running around in WWII era Tree Hill City.

    "Poor"
    (SOME SPOILERS AHEAD) Utterly cheesy, craptastic episode written by OTH's own Chad Michael Murray. I don't know if he was intentionally trying to make the silliest of dream-sequence episodes - somehow, I really doubt Sir Squinty has even the tiniest amount of irony in his brain. But the result is probably the goofiest OTH entry I seen so far. And I am a fan of this show, it all its lunatic, crazy-a** plot twists and horrible, over-the-top acting on the part of some of key players. This would have been a bit more fun if it had been better written. As it is, the novelty of the concept wears thin about 15 minutes in. And for some reason, CMM seems to REALLY like violent scenes: more than a few people get bludgeoned, hands get broken, Mouth gets beaten up and tossed off a bridge, etc. Bottom line: It's a big old mess but not as enjoyable as the usual OTH nonsense.moreless

    "Abysmal"
    i'm sorry, but what the heck?? i miss ONE episode of One Tree Hill and it falls to pieces?!?! i'm still congfused to what the point was of that episode. it was ridiculous. the only good thing about it was Bethany getting to perform; she's got such a fantastic voice. It seemed so silly-- it was a dumb episode. if one tree hill were a supernatural series, it would have made sense, but this episode made no sense at all. When I noticed in the credits Chad Michael Murray wrote it, that's when i realized why the weird situation. Chad, you really ought to stick to acting and quit the writing thing. maybe directing could be more of your forte...?moreless

  • Absolutely the most terrible episode ever. I never want Chad to write another episode again!

    "Abysmal"
    I am incredibly disappointed. This was the most painful episode to watch ever. I know it was an "homage" to the 1940's movies, but I think any actor from those movies would cringe if they watched these actors stereotypical depictions people from those days. I have watched One Tree Hill from the very beginning, and though this season has gone downhill (too much drama) I have continued to watch it. I kept the episode on tonight, just to see if it got any better, but it certainly did not. The acting was terrible, the storyline was obnoxious, and I seriously think it might be the end of the show for me. What was Mr. Chad Michael Murray thinking? Please, don't let him write another episode!moreless

    "Bad"
    I do not attribute the horridness of this episode to Chad's writing, only because the writing is crappy these days no matter who takes it on. The fact that Lucas/Peyton and Nathan/Haley came about in one day (they all just "fell in love") was absolutely nonsensical, unoriginal, and uninteresting.
    I'd just like to say, Mr Murry, you are given a AMAZING opportunity - and you make it into a dream, or rather, an alternate universe, which is ABSOLUTELY awesome - but why the simplicity? Why are we seeing the same boring scenes we've seen dozens of times throughout seasons five and six. Nathan and Haley love each other, we get it. Lucas is meant to be with Peyton. Alright. But why can't you shake things up a little. Mix it around a little, even, because frankly, I'm sick of Nathan and Haley's relentless, corny, "always and forever," bullcrap. I'm sick of Luke and Peyton being "meant to be from the very beginning." Dead God, where's the originality? What became of the show? Why did it get so boring? I, with many others, fear this is the end of my loyalty for One Tree Hill. I fear it's also the end of the series.
    And don't blame this on the lack of a High School setting. Just because the characters abruptly became adults doesn't mean they have to be two-dimensional and boring. OTH needs to stop recycling old lines and bringing up old scenes, and make new ones, the type of stuff that has us on the edge of our seats biting our fingernails again. And no, this certainly doesn't mean I want another random stalker-Derick saga.
    My final qualm: Why is Brooke always alone? She's one of the favorite characters, and best actresses, yet she's a constant third wheel. Put her with Owen, or just get rid of him, because the slowness of this alleged "plot" rather disturbs me.moreless

    this is bias, worthless crap. this is one of the series that i like the most. but with episodes like these i could be completely without.

    it's been done so many times, in so many other series - and as all other times before it's painfully awful worthless s**i of crap.

    do something original to the series or skip doing the episode at all.

    • Peyton: My whole life has been planned and safe. Dan won't let men court me. But for once I want to make my own choices, even if that means my heart shatters into a million pieces, and I have to find the strength to put them back together. So that's why I came back tonight: because I need something different, and you are the first thing I've laid eyes on that is. And I have said too much. Lucas: You are. Peyton: What? Lucas: Earlier you asked me if you're pretty. And you are, but it's your heart that makes you more than that... it makes you beautiful. Edit
    • (Nathan punches a drunk guy after he tries to grab Haley) Nathan: Are you all right? Haley: Yeah. Maybe you should cut him off. Nathan: Maybe I should give him another round on the house. Haley: Now, why would you do that? Nathan: Because he gave the bartender an excuse to talk to the gorgeous singer. Haley: You know, in that case, give him two. Edit
    • Nathan (watching Haley sing): What a dame. Lucas: She gets them every time. Nathan: I think a girl like that... never mind. Lucas: And a guy like you? Yeah. Why not? Nathan: Well, because I'm a nobody and she's definitely a somebody. Lucas: Never say never, Nate. If you want something, go get it. It's that simple. Nathan: What do you want, Luke? Lucas: Nothing. I've got everything I want right here. Edit
