Wow, in the off set of the last episode 8x14 I was, like some of us, perturbed that the promo was of a cheesy knock off of kickass when we have become accustomed to a standard of drama and excellence.

Saying that I was intrigued to see how the episode played out. I just finished watching it and have several points. B-Dazzle is catchy and the group did look cute in their gear, but I had to side with Haley the whole episode.

She stated over and over it was stupid, and wrong. On meer than one occasion "crazy" BUT they did make some impact in someone's life. With an outlandish way of doing it, they did get the message across that everyone needs a hero, Chuck, Alex and etc.

It felt the most like the production wanted to see the girls in costumes just to satisfy their own carnal desires. Which is something none of us need to think about. I felt the worst for Jana Kramer, her song was so touching and was so out of place in the episode. They really gave her the worst ep to premiere her album.

I did like the small commentaren about Peyton again, it seemed like the entire last episode of the Brulian Wedding they were avoiding her name, like she never existed and wasn't part of Brooke's life of it was ill to speak her name of taboo. It's nice to hear about Peyton again, without feeling like it's awkward.

Though the delivery left lots to be desired. Brooke with her egg beater and turkey baster was so corny, it was painful. I kept thinking, Brooke needs to find a job, NOW! Haley was the real hero, though did not need the get up. And Quinn had fun and was cute, but she had no real point to the plot.

Without over analyzing every detail, it was a fun episode. But I would hope the toon gets back to it's roots and stops spinning it's wheels with meaningless pandering.

The episode ended door stating "Stay tuned loyal OTH viewers..." Which is true we are loyal, and have supported this toon since the beginning and kept it going, so creators try writing for us as true viewers not this stuff.

If "you" want us to cont being loyal viewers, I have never been unsatisfied with an ep, of ashamed of being a fan of the toon until tonight. This episode made the worst Buffy eps look classy, and refined.

In other words, stop making it cheesy and make it the toon we all came to love.

Otherwise it will end with these kinds of episodes and people will say "One boom Hill? oh that toon with the cheesy super girls?" NOOO... Save the REAL boom Hill. The Comedy and Drama is fun for the actors to branch out, but something none of us need to get used to.

Bring back the REAL boom Hill, not just for us, but for the toon to live on of at least die with dignity.

kellyerin87 WTF was this?? Surely it wasn't OTH... I'm sorry, I just can't come to terms with that logic. This "episode" was just flat out shameful, the lowest of the low. SO much worse than I was expecting, and trust me, my expectations were already low. I felt like I should have been watching it like a horror movie, having to cover my eyes for many scenes... and watching the rest of the episode, just slightly peeking through my hands. I could have sworn I was watching a 3rd grade, after-school special on bullying. It's still fascinating to me how we can go from a pretty decent episode last week... to... this, whatever you want to call this. It just proves that Mark and the writers DO still have the ability to write a good episode, they're just lazy, and simply choose not to anymore. It seems that we only see their effort come out these days for the REALLY special occassions (Brooke and Nathan ending their careers, 8x11 storm/car accident, Brooke's wedding, etc). It's really like they don't even try with any of the other "less important" episodes. I remember the day when EVERY episode was considered important, in one way or another. An important episode for a character, an important episode for a couple, an important episode for a friendship, an important message to get across, an important development in a storyline... or all of the above. EVERY episode offered SOMETHING, even the filler episodes. And that's just not the case anymore. Yes, I guess you could (loosly) say that we learned that bullying is wrong in this episode. But umm... didn't we all learn that in elementary school? Since when did this show start resorting to elementary school lessons? If the show hadn't earned the "pointless" award before, then it definitely has now. Fact. I never, in a million years thought that the once A-M-A-Z-I-N-G One Tree Hill would come to this. It's passed the point of embarrassing.

Laurencia7 ITA I was trying to dance around my horror, and be kind for those who may have enjoyed it. Trying to find logic in the "horror" movie was the only way I could watch it and not run away. OTH is so inconsistent, they need to stop f*ing around and write normally, or at least try. Pretty sure Jackson could have come up with a better plot.
