  • not my favorite storyline

    "Terrible"
    By aliengirl34, Sep 26, 2011 Report Abuse
    I had mixed feelings on the shooting epsioe because it didn't convey the fear of being in real shooting because in a real shooting students and teachers wouldn't be trying to reason with the shooter. they would be trying to find a way out or praying that help would soon. and the fact that the Scott men were able to break SWAT relugations to go back into the school was riduise. and the last 5 mins of the show didn't make any sense at all by having Dan shoot Keith devalue the entire epsiope. and i agree with the reviewers that said that he or she was surpised that the puducers of the show didn't get sued, because the mermoery of what happened at Columbine and Virgina Tech is still very raw and painful. so in end those are my reasons for not liking these storyline.moreless

  • Possibly the best TV episode ever!

    By greysanatomy12, Aug 17, 2011 Report Abuse
    "With Tired Eyes,Tired Minds,Tired Souls,We Slept" is undeniably the best episode of any tv show i have ever seen.It's truly a masterpiece of television.There have been a lot of hostage situations in many TV shows,like the recent Grey's Anatomy season finale but this one is different.It actually has a profound meaning and that is bullying.Mark Schwahn really outdid himself with this episode and showed how bullying has a huge effect on people.
    The episode is directed,written and acted perfectly,in my opinion.i think this episode sets One Tree Hill apart from other teen shows because the show proved that it was more than hookups or love triangles.
    The episode is very intense,emotional and shocking.Jimmy Edwards walks into school with a gun seeking justice for the way he's being treated,putting everyone's lives in danger.You can tell that Jimmy is desperate and his words are just so moving.I cried so hard when he was talking about what he has been through alone since all of his friends abandoned him.Some of his lines like "I wanted them to leave me alone.I wanted them to like me" always get to me.Since i have been bullied i can somewhat relate to his words.I'm sure this episode helped a lot of teenagers deal with bullying.I know it helped me.
    Peyton actually gets shot and she crawls into the library when Lucas joins her trying to help her and then they share an epic Leyton moment.Me being a Leyton shipper i loved their scenes.
    And of course ,this episode ended with Dan killing Keith which was a defining moment for the show and definitely changed everything.It's very shocking to see a man killing his younger brother just out of spite.
    And by the way,there is a scene between Brooke and a reporter that is very emotional and amazing but unfortunately it isn't included in the episode but only as a deleted scene but it's really an outstanding and powerful scene.
    All in all,this episode is so amazing and raw.It is my favorite TV episode ever and that's probably never gonna change!Long Live One Tree Hill!moreless

    I wish I had reviewed this episode after it first aired. Oh well. So, I have watched it again for the millionth time and I decided to review it. This is truly the best episode of One Tree Hill. It was the best episode at that time and it is still the best episode. One Tree Hill is one of a kind and this episode shows just how awesome and unique it is.

    No other show had done such a powerful episode before or since. The closest I can think of is the 7th Heaven episode "Johnny Get Your Gun" It too was a powerful and moving episode, but no where near the emotional strength of this episode.moreless

    By BuffyAngeMaxTru, Aug 17, 2011 Report Abuse
    As Summary - This episode has to be one of my all time favorites, the acting from the actor who played Jimmy Edwards was unbelievable. it felt so real and really dragged me into the characters. One thing with this episode which I believe helps make the show so amazing, is the Music. - The Music used throughout this Episode was Brilliant. - makes it all so much more real. I cant stress enough how awesome i believe this episode is - really amazing work from an amazing crew and cast. will be greatly remembered as such - Amazing Episode.moreless

    This episode of One Tree Hill, was the best episode in my mind because not only was it the episode that got One Tree Hill renewed the next season it also got other publicity from other networks which is a huge honor. The way it was handled is just amazing I cannot remember watching another episode of any other show on any networks right now that was so intense. Some say that it was a bad move by OTH to do this episode because of the Columbine shooting, But what people need to remember is that was 7 years ago when the episode aired. And another comment was brought up in a review about how soon it aired after the Virginia Tech shooting which is incorrect because Virginia tech happened a year after this episode premiered. To aliengirl34 that logic is very poor to base a review off of, and Dan shooting Keith made perfect sense, he thought Keith tried to kill him in the dealership fire, you really must not watch One Tree HIll at all to see it. Open Your Eyes!!!!moreless

    • In the opening scenes Rachel can be seen outside on the quad with Bevin and a few other girls so how did she end up in the tutor center? Edit
    • Abby Brown is insulin dependent, but when Haley noticed that she wasn't feeling so well, Abby says she needs her insulin. However, when a person's blood sugar drops to dangerously low level, that person needs sugar to get it back to normal. Taking insulin will further reduce the person's blood sugar level. Edit
    • Keith put his hand over Jimmy's fresh bullet wound, which would have caused blood to run onto his hand. Wouldn't the investigators find it odd that Keith had Jimmy's blood on his hand if Jimmy shot him first? Edit

    • Reporter: We're a country obsessed with tragedy, Brooke, so if examining tragedy makes me part of the problem, then so be it. But let me ask you something, how much time have you spent with Jimmy Edwards over the last 4 years? (Brooke goes quiet and looks away.) Reporter: So maybe I'm not the only one who should be ashamed. (Brooke starts to cry but stops as someone approaches her.) Glenda's mom: Brooke? Hi, I'm Glenda's mom, I was wondering if you'd seen her. Brooke: I'm sorry, I don't know anyone named... Glenda's mom: Glenda Farrel, She's in your class, she said you two were friends. Brooke: Glenda! I thought you said Brenda..I'm sorry. Sure, I'll find her.

    • Jimmy Edwards: This ain't the Breakfast Club. Breakfast Club is a famous John Hughes movie where 5 students get stuck in detention. Edit
    • Brooke (to reporter after seeing families hugging): Have you seen the ratings for 7th Heaven? 7th Heaven is one of One Tree Hill's sister shows and has been the most popular and most watched series on the WB Network since 1996. Amazingly, no other WB show reached anywhere near the level of ratings success that 7th Heaven has, at one point attracting 9 million viewers on a regular basis. Edit
