One Tree Hill 5X12: Hundred
Added 2024-07-03 18:00:10 +0000 UTCI was tricked so many times in this episode! It felt like the episode with all the dreams and I couldn't figure out what was real and what wasn't.
That said, I had no idea if this wedding was actually going to take place for the entire episode. (And that includes AFTER Lindsay ran out of the church, because I didn't know if it was real!)
Am I the only one who had no idea that Peyton drove a Comet? I never even thought about it. In my mind her car is just a black convertible, so I would have never put that together. And it looks like Lindsey didn't either until she literally picked up a sweater off Peyton car right before she walked down the aisle.
I know Brooke is trying to be a good friend here, but does she not remember what happened last time she encouraged Peyton to talk to Lucas about her feelings? He ended up proposing. I think it's way too soon for her to think about his. In most instances I'd only think it was too soon for a single 22 year old to think about having kids, but Brooke's got more than enough money to pay for whatever help she might need.
Also, I'm sure the wedding was supposed to be the A plot here, but fucking Carrie KIDNAPPING Jamie was really vying to overtake it. What the fuck?!? My son is the ring bearer. GTFO. I HATE this bitch. You haven't caused enough problems? Seriously. I wish Dan had killed her.
And speaking of Dan, why wasn't Jamie more afraid of him? This kid is petrified to sleep at night because he thinks Dan is a monster and is gonna get him in his sleep, but now it's all, Grandpa Dan saved me? I don't buy it. I need to see more of that scene.
Ugh. And the complete smugness of him when he walked in after returning Jamie. This changes nothing, sir! I really hope that this doesn't open the door for him to be part of their lives again.
However, I think that this might bring Naley back together. It was a brief moment, but there was a glimmer of hope when they bonded over this tragedy. I guess we'll see in the coming episodes.

2024-08-08 19:58:26 +0000 UTCI hope you enjoyed this episode Dana.....it was a big one and pretty important for the series. To answer a few of your questions...I don't think that the fans originally thought that the Lucas/Lindsey wedding was supposed to be the A plot and most important thing of the episode. The 100th episode was a milestone for the show and was supposed to be an episode centered around all the main core and the characters who got the show to this point, so while the backdrop of the episode was the wedding and it initially is what brought Karen, Lily, and Andy back to town, Naley's storyline and Jamie's subsequent kidnapping at the hands of psycho Carrie, and Dan saving the day, were all the bigger and more important plot in my opinion, so you weren't wrong to pick up on that fact, lol. Also, the promo that ran leading up to the episode featured all the main plotlines and characters and wasn't really focused much on the wedding at all except to say that it would be the biggest event of the series, lol, but that wording was specifically referring to the culmination of everything that happened with Jamie, Carrie, and Dan, and not the actual wedding ceremony itself. As for how many fans actually thought that the wedding would commence...idk about that, but Lucas did end up saying "I do", so you'll just have to stay tuned to see what becomes of that, hehe. Also you were wondering why Jamie wasn't more afraid of Dan and how come it was so easy for him to trust Dan and just go with him...remember that Jamie was initially afraid when Dan peered into the window and Jamie dropped his candy and cowered in the corner...but Jamie is a very smart and perceptive kid and he knew that his beloved nanny wasn't who he thought she was and had taken him away from his home and parents, so he probably figured that Grandpa Dan was his next best and only choice, and he turned out to be right. Had Dan not showed up...there is no telling how far out of town Carrie might have gotten with Jamie. And yes...tragedies tend to bring people together again, and you can clearly see that happening with Naley. Loved the scene between them in Jamie's bedroom, it was so powerful. Such an emotional and angst-ridden scene between them that James and Joy rocked together. They were so distraught over the prospect of losing their son and not knowing what happened to him, and when Nathan pulls Haley in close to him to comfort her and just let's her cry her heart out.....as she screams that she can't lose him, he's all she has, that was such a powerful moment and an immense response from Nathan not to include him in that equation and tell her that she'll always have him too, but he relented and didn't press it, and just held her. Such an underrated scene that still gives me goosebumps today watching. The emotion is always so real and palpable between those two. And little Jamie just walking in at the end like the boss he is, hehe, calling out for his mama, as Naley scoop him right up in their arms and shower him with hugs and kisses and thank you's to God that he's home safe.....as Dan enters the house in front of his entire world, a hero now, instead of an enemy.....is some amazing storytelling right there. That entire coda coupled with Apologies by Grace Potter playing over the entire sequence was a homerun hit for sure. They nailed it!!! Like I said...I hope you enjoyed the episode; it was a special one for sure!!! P.S. Happy 4th of July!!!! Hope you have a great festive day celebrating!!!!

2024-07-04 20:42:58 +0000 UTCYou heard it correctly Haley did say: 'You should have been there' 'Your his father, you should have been there to protect him' 'You should have been here, and I should have let you come home' And by saying this she is blaming herself for not letting Nathan come home earlier and is basically saying if Nathan had come home Jamie would not have been kidnapped becuase she feels guilty and is worried for her sons safety and life at this moment in time her emotions are everywhere. And then Nathans conforts her telling her it is not her fault and that she should not blame herself which is true because wheather or not Nathan was back home that biatch would have still tried to kidnap Jamie because she lives in delu delu land and thinks he is her actual son. Overall I really loved this episode and it's one of favourites of the season and it's a pretty solid 100th episode.

2024-07-04 00:24:55 +0000 UTCIβm so excited to see you react some more to the complex and crazy character that is Dan. Love or hate him, heβs such a compelling character and the way his presence always alters the show is wild. Heβs fun to hate and analyze and his relationships with the other characters are always so interesting

2024-07-03 20:51:29 +0000 UTCOne thing I really love about Naley is that when they forgive each other they really mean it. They don't bring it up again or use it against the other later. It's annoying when ppl try to defend Nathan's actions with Carrie by bringing up Haley's past actions when she was 16.

2024-07-03 18:43:23 +0000 UTCYay we're finally here. I've had so much to say about the whole Nathan/Nanny Carrie situation but I've waited until I could talk about spoilers up to this point at least. Also full disclosure I haven't seen some of your reactions to the Nanny Carrie episodes. It's nothing against your reactions... my heart just cannot take reliving that plotline again. Once Carrie leaves it becomes much better. Last episode I love the drama to be honest. And this episode is just perfection from start to finish despite Carrie. I've even had this all written down so that I could copy and paste this mammoth of a Nathan defense lol. I used to watch more reactions to these episodes and over time I've found that I'm far more forgiving of Nathan during the whole Nanny Carrie situation than many people. Not enough people talk about how Nathan was sexually harrassed by Carrie or if it is talked, it usually doesn't illicit enough sympathy for Nathan. Let the record show that Nathan did NOT consent to the kiss that Carrie forced on him. And I hate how the show treats this like it was a classic scandalous case of Nathan cheating on Haley with the hot nanny. Like Brooke says that Nathan went all "Jude Law" with the nanny and I don't appreciate the comparison honestly. Of course, it helps to have the ability of hindsight. The truth is that Nanny Carrie was a psycho and her endgame was never Nathan. She set her sights on Jamie and wanted him to be her son?! Nathan was just Plan A. Plan A was steal Nathan from Haley and become Jamie's stepmother. When that didn't work she went to Plan B which was straight up kidnap Jamie. In a real life scenario, of course Nathan should have told Haley what was going on right away. But since this is a TV show and we have the ability to see the full picture, I truly believe that everything happened the way it needed to. Even if Nathan had told Haley sooner and Carrie had been fired. The only thing that may have changed is that Carrie would have kidnapped Jamie sooner and Dan would not have been out of jail and would have been unable to save him. I love the way that James Lafferty played this plotline out. James could have played everything much more flirty but instead in a lot of these moments you get the impression that Nathan is so shocked that he's almost frozen in place. That's something I love about James as an actor. I feel like he brings so much integrity to his character. A lesser actor could have played those scenes so much more flirty. A big example I think of is when Nathan is at the bar and Carrie insinuates that some other dude hitting on her makes Nathan jealous... CARRIE : I've never seen your jealous side before NATHAN : And you still haven't The way James delivers that line makes me so happy. He says it with absolutely no angst, no hesitation and with complete assurance. And the scene where she kisses him, James plays it like Nathan is in complete frozen shock. In every scene I feel like the writers wanted Nathan to go farther over the line but James inserted as much integrity as possible every chance he got. Also I can definitely see how this spiraled out of his control. Carrie unfurled this plan very slowly. She wasn't completely brazen from the start. It started with some inappropriate comments and some minor flirting. At first Nathan probably pushed it aside thinking maybe i'm just reading into this, it's my imagination, surely she doesn't have feelings for me, maybe she's just being helpful and nice and i'm just reading into it. Then it escalated and he thought.... Haley likes Carrie and Carrie is helping take things off Haley's plate which is helping her not be so stressed. Jamie likes Carrie. So he pushes it aside and believes that he can deal with it. He can point out how inappropriate she's being and surely she will change her behavior. He believes it will go away and get better. And then things really escalate and without Nathan's consent, Carrie kisses him. Now Nathan's internally freaking out cause he knows that this is gonna be very damaging to his marriage. Nathan never straight up lies to Haley, but he does at time avoid things and lies by omission. He tries to tell her but then Carrie walks in at a very inopportune time and tells Haley that she has to quit. And Nathan thinks it's all over. He's not stupid. He knows that he still needs to tell Haley the truth about what happened but he thinks that he still has time to figure out the best way to tell her. They no longer need to fire Carrie so it's not pressing, right? Only problem is that Nathan does not know Carrie's true intentions and her psychotic nature. Haley has every right to be upset for many reasons and I feel so bad for her In this case. I've heard many people say that Haley has no right to be upset with Nathan because of what she did with Chris. I am so glad that Nathan didn't bring that up as a way to get out of the proverbial doghouse. That would have been so toxic and the fact that he didn't bring it up shows what a great man he is. That was so long ago, they were so young, she was being sexually abused by Chris (similarly to Nathan here TBH) and they renewed their vows so there's no good reason to bring it up. Sorry for the long winded comment here but as Nathan's self proclaimed defense attorney... I had to defend my man and Haley at the end there too lol
