Cooper's Cove: March 2012

GOODBYE TO ONE TREE HILL

"At this moment, there are 6 billion, 4 hundred, 71 million, 8 hundred, 18 thousand, 6 hundred, 71 people in the world. Some are running scared.. some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day.. others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good, and some are good.. struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world, 6 billion souls -- and sometimes...all you need is 1."

That's one of my favorite quotes on One tree hill :) Um...Even though I my favorite couple is Brooke and Lucas, I thought that since there are two other couples that people can seem to get enough of, I would put down their quotes too. I'll also throw in some random quotes from one tree hill. Okay, I hope you guys like it."

As we say goodbye to ONE TREE HILL I find myself remembering several significant quotes - This program - although I am sad to see it end I do believe its time. We have watched Brooke Davis (Sophia Bush) grow from a spoiled yet emotionally deprived teenager into a loving Wife and Mother and a successful business woman. Although she lost some of her Sassy humor in the later seasons they managed to bring back the "old" Brooke toward the end. I just loved the episodes with Brooke and Rachel (Danneel Harris) The two complimented one another and the feisty pair were fun to watch.

Rachel Gatina: [eyes closed] Slut

Brooke Davis: Bitch
Rachel Gatina: Whore
Rachel Gatina: Well, I know I'm not in Heaven cause they wouldn't have let Brooke Davis's kinky ass through the gates.
Brooke Davis: And your ass wouldn't fit, at least not the old one. How are you?

Haley James Scott (Bethany Joy Galeotti) was the girl every not so popular girl wanted to be. The one to cross over from studious geek "Tutor Girl" to dating the hot and popular basket ball player (Nathan Scott) - the one destined to go places. We watched as Nathan (James Lafferty) and Haley struggle through life, teenage pregnancy, a tragic Accident that left Nate paralyzed for a time. Then once he finally overcame this we watched them deal Crazy Nanny and lets not forget Nate's Villainous Father Dan and his drug addicted and wacky Mother Deb (Barbara Alyn Woods). I must admit those are some of my favorite episodes were Deb tries hard to derail Dan's political career. But I also enjoyed the whole Haley and Nathan Saga - the music- the basketball - the ever entertaining Chris Keller and Nathans disastrous relationship with his parents. But these two fought and conquered!

- "Nathan it's been said that there is one word that will free us from the weight and pain of life. And that word is love, and I believe that. It doesn't meant that it hasn't been hard, or that it won't be. It just means I have found a stillness and bravery in myself with you. You make me brave and I will love you until the end of time. This I vow today."

Of course Lucas and Peyton (Hilarie Burton) must have a mention, even though I was glad to see them leave the show. These two were the ultimate tortured souls never really knowing what they wanted, or who they wanted to be with. Peyton chose Nate, then she chose Lucas, then came Jake, then back to Lucas and lets not forget Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy. Peyton's character even though fiercely independent, was a complete train wreck and really annoying. What with all the moaning and whining about Lucas and what a bad friend Brooke was it was truly tiresome to watch and I was really glad to see the back of her. And as for the actress herself, even though I didn't care for Peyton I am sure millions of fans did and the fact that she didn't come back for the end of the series just goes to show........

Lucas: "There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path while others tell you who you are? Or will you label yourself? Will you be honored by your choice? Or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up."

Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) was as annoying if not more annoying that Peyton! What a wimp! What on earth did they all see in him? He was a Mama's boy from the other side of the tracks who cried when things didn't go his way. With his pathetic gaze and broody manner he tried to be tough but that didn't really work for him -coz every time he was confronted with a tough situation the tears would flow -what the hell was that? Maybe it was the actor I never really liked - Chad Michael Murray was a pain in the ass as Tristan in the Gilmore Girls and not very entertaining in Freaky Friday or A Cinderella Story, oh god and he even ruined 12 episodes of Dawson's Creek! Need I say more?

Peyton and Lucas

Lucas: Peyton! It's you.

Peyton: What?

Lucas: When all my dreams come true, the one I want next to me. It's you. It's you Peyton.

Boo hoo!

All in all this program was for the most part entertaining but mostly due to the feisty antics of Brooke Davis. The agonizing love story between Haley and Nathan the ever comical Deb and of course the original Villain Dan Scott (Paul Johansson) who ended up in prison after murdering his own brother Keith then tried to redeem himself when the crazy Nanny came to town. I still don´t know why Mouth McFadden (LeeNorris) and Millie (Lisa Goldstein) were kept on to the end -or Skills (Antwon Tanner) for that matter although he did at least offer some comic relief. Julian Baker (Austin Nichols) was nice to look at but didn't really have much of a story line and Quinn (Shantel VanSanten) and Clay (Robert Buckley) well, really what was the point? Then we have Chase (Stephen Colletti) Alex Dupre (Jana Kramer) and Chris Keller (Tyler Hilton) who I must admit grew on me during the last season.

"Chris Keller always springs for breakfast"
