OneTree Hill Season 7 thoughts


So I'm a loyal fan of One Tree Hill, and a big fan of the show creator, Mark Schwahn.  I have faith in this show.  The many times when I was convinced I would stop liking the show, I've been proved wrong.

As a true Brucas fan, I have hated the show many times, as Peyton kept getting in the way.  I got incredibly angry each time, but didn't stop watching.  Finally, I started to actually like Leyton. 

That is, until Peyton started her pregnancy ghetto speak in Season 6, which made me want to throw my TV all the way to Wilmington, to smack her back to normal.  So, when I found out she wasn't coming back to the show, I was almost happy, cuz if Momma P was going to continue talking like Momma P after baby Sawyer was born, then I could do without her presence.  Then we found out Lucas wasn't coming back either...

How could they do this?  Wasn't the show based around Lucas?  How would this work?  I was convinced Mark would make it work.

And you know what?  He has.  I don't even miss Lucas and Peyton.  BUT I would like a better explanation for their absence.  I don't think you can throw 3 characters, 2 of which we have come to know and love and hate for the past 6 years, in a car, say they're going for a drive, and then never talk about them again, except to say they're travelling.

Loyal fans deserve more than that.  Tell us that they're with Karen and Andy, so that Lily can get to know her brother Lucas, and Sawyer can have a grandmother in her life.  Make it about family.  Pull our heartstrings.  Don't tell us they're "travelling".  Who the heck "travels" when they have a baby?  Isn't it hard enough to take a baby to the grocery store, much less "travelling"?

I'm still loyal to the show.  I still love it, and the remaining characters are still dear to me.  Brooke has always been my favorite, and she's still there.  While I'm complaining though, can I just say that I'm so sick of Brooke not getting a happy ending?  Why can't Julian just propose, and they can be together, and have some other silly drama?  And the Naley scandal?  Tired.  Let's have Nathan be a good husband, and there be no doubt about that.  We like Nathan.  The whole cheating thing isn't that believable for me.  He loves his son and his wife like crazy.  He's not gonna get drunk and go after some silly ho and impregnate her with his Scott men.  It's just not gonna happen.

And seriously, DAN and RACHEL?  MARRIED!?  All I can think of is, what the heck is Rachel up to now!?

What do you think of the new characters??  I like Quinn, she's the cute, cool aunt, but there's something shady going on with this hubs of hers.  I want that drama to come out soon.  It's been two episodes of the sad, lonely, on the road to divorce girl, now I wanna know what caused sad, lonely, on the road to divorce girl.  I LOVE Clay's character, and think Robert Buckley is doing a fabulous job in character.  He's lovable and definitely the right guy to help Nate out of this crazy scandal.  And last of all, Alex.  oh, Alex.  She's going to be that character you love to hate.  I can't wait to see what she has up her crazy little sleeve.

Am I the only one wishing for Chris Keller (Tyler Hilton) to come back to the show one last time before the end?  He is the only old character I want back.  Unless we're bringing people back from the dead, in which case, Keith would be on the first train back to Tree Hill to raise some hell with Dan.

What do you think?
