So I started watching One Tree Hill again back in June and I just finished. Now I feel empty inside.....
Those of you that have followed me for quite some time know I love my little TV show posts. Here are my overall thoughts about the show...
- Naley will always (and forever) have me in a chokehold. I blame them for the high expectations I have when it comes to relationships. In all seriousness, I've never seen a show write a couple in such a way where most of the fandom actually enjoys and ships them. Although they had their moments, they will always be my #1 comfort couple.
- I like to pretend season 2 doesn't exist. That was the dark era.
- What the actual fuck was Chad Michael Murray's hair in the last season 💀💀💀💀
- James Lafferty is an underrated king. Not only is his character the superior brother, but he as a person is superior in every way. He's also aging gracefully ☺
- Jake and Peyton should've been endgame and I'll always stand by that.
- Lucas Scott has some redeeming qualities, but he became more and more aggravating to me as the seasons went on.
- Chuck and Chase's friendship was something I didn't know I needed.
- Season 9 Chris Keller was a literal king.
- Even though Lucas was a little shit at times, I did love his friendship with Haley. I actually have a confession..... the first time I ever watched this show, I went into it blind. I had no clue who the characters were and who the iconic couples were. For the first few episodes of season 1 I shipped Lucas and Haley 🤢🤢🤢🤢 I honestly can't believe the thought of them as a couple was once appealing to me. But it was my first watch so I'm cutting myself some slack lmao
- Dan's death destroyed me and dare I say, it destroyed me more than Keith's.
- Mouth and Millie being endgame and having a baby on the way was a perfect way to send off the characters.
- Peyton losing Ellie fucked me up royally.
- Clay and Quinn were so pure. Robert Buckley and Shantel VanSanten had so much chemistry, did they date irl or....??? Cause fuck. They were hot.
- I wish we got more time to see Naley w/ Lydia. The baby actress that played her was so fucking cute.
- Haley's depression storyline after her mom died fucked me up. I honestly felt like it was rushed, but I understand why.
- Brooke Davis is a queen as is Sophia Bush.
- Brucus > Leyton
- Season 9 was so fucking wild, but honestly I think it's one of the better seasons (at least better than 7 and 8)
- Naley and Brooke carried this show on their backs.
- Although I hated whenever Naley was fighting, I lowkey loved the Nanny Carrie plot. Only because of the drama lol
- I really wish we had gotten more of Peyton and Nathan's friendship.
- Quentin Fields deserved better!!!!
- Antwon Tanner is the funniest dude and I could tell Skills was ALL him.
- Seasons 5-6 Jamie Scott reminded me so much of Cole and Dylan Sprouse in Big Daddy lol
- Season 3 Naley >>>>>
- I shipped Brucus, but Brulian was actual perfection. I really grew to love Julian Baker.
- I honestly hated that the writers had Nathan retire from basketball and become an agent. It just didn't feel right. I understand why they did it (to show that Nathan's #1 passion and priority was his family), but idk it felt weird after seasons of his struggles trying to make it in the NBA.
- Seeing Skills and Bevin end up together made my heart happy
- Rain kisses >>>>>>>
This show is one of those shows I can watch over and over again and never get tired of it. It's rare to find shows like this nowadays. OTH will never get old.
Oh and also, fuck Mark Schwahn.
