Can We Seriously Weather This Storm?

Hick Trash Flash? That Pretty Much Sums Up OTH These Days!
But back to the rant about this week's episode which I think started out with probably the most accurate portrayal of how far this show has fallen from their place on top. The HICK TRASH wedding dream of Brooke Davis, representing this show for what it is today - TRASH! Complete rubbish. Utter bullshit. Talent-less and lacking in any REAL storyline. In fact, this show has fallen so far from grace that I'm wondering if we'll actually see it nominated at the Daytime Emmy's because it now resembles a soap opera more than a prime-time drama.
So what happened in this week's crapfest? Let's move onto our groupings since these characters have forgotten how to interact.
So he's apparently back at college to get his degree so he can train to be a sports agent. Good for him, this is actually kinda cool. Being a teacher I'm all for education and furthering one's self academically. But the dickhead decides to prove a point by going with the harder lecturer. He then expects things to be easier. He doesn't prepare enough for class, gets called out on it and then decides to talk to said professor after class and expects him to "understand" that he probably needed a few days to catch up to everyone. No dumb ass, that isn't how it works. You enrolled late, you elected to study under the professor who you were warned was tougher than most... and you signed freaking autographs in his class before it began. Stupid move. I guess this was all needed so we could enjoy those wonderful bonding moments between Nathan and his ferret, I mean son, where they teach each other how to succeed in life and in their respective classes. *SNOREFEST*
So, what have we learned from this week's episode?
1. Haley is pregnant. She forgot Lucas and the crisis center this week because Erin is the focus of her life.
2. Jamie is annoying as hell and is having deep and meaningful conversations beyond his years.
3. Nathan is trying to be a sport's agent. He returned to school and apparently he's so bad at it that his son has to tutor him.
4. Mia is acting like a pus-infected boil on everyone's ass. She is still hanging around like a bad smell.
5. Julian has no friends. He spent the day sucking Brooke's asshole.
6. Alex is an actress. She also still likes Chase.
7. Clay disappeared. At least he didn't have to remind us that he got shot. We had Quinn do that for us.
8. Quinn is still a useless waste of space. she apparently has nightmares and thinks buying a gun to murder her attacker is much more sensible than therapy. Go figure.
9. Brooke is still having Mommy issues and can't seem to warm to the idea that hers and Julian's Mom get along. She also finally decided to see (again) all the good she had in her life but not before complaining about being poor again.
10. KATIE is coming back. I wonder if she'll actually get the bitch this time? The ending was really bad, having her look straight into the camera didn't intimidate me or make me intrigued as to what will happen next week. In fact, the only reaction I had was to snort like a pig.
So... another week of progressive, dramatic television. NOT.
Rant and rave people,

What Am I Thankful For? I'm Thankful This Episode Is FINALLY Over!
Or perhaps the live turkey caught your fancy because it basically acted circles around every other character this week! Or maybe it was the predictability of it all because apparently, being dull and predictable is the legacy this show wants to leave behind. At any rate, let's get started on this blog and display our true feelings about yet another forty-or-so minutes of our lives we have just lost watching this shitfest.
Wouldn't it be great if Haley really talked like this?
So, we started off this week's episode with another "Dear Lucas" reference and a Thanksgiving theme. Can I just say, the food looked amazing and it really made me want Thanksgiving to hurry up and get the hell here (1 week to go), however even the food couldn't save the terrible-ness of this show. So, let's go through the characters and review, shall we?
Nathan, Haley and the ferret they like to call their son, Jamie. So, Nathan didn't graduate college - big shocker there. But how did he get his so-called NBA contract without that slip of paper? Interesting. And how is it that his agent knew nothing about this when he is supposed to know every little thing about his client? Dropped the ball on that one. Insert Haley being the ever-doting wife who gives a speech on how she has all the faith in him in the world and they have a cute-sy moment and that's pretty much Naley in the bag for yet another week. Then we have Haley at home cooking and being mother/wife/friend/chef of the year to the inevitable horde that invaded her house for the holiday. Interesting that she wasn't needed at the crisis center on such a lonely holiday for some. Guess she fixed Erin and that was enough for her. WOW, who called that one? Crisis Center what? And then the ferret, who managed to probe into Erin's life because THAT is what kids that age do - they ask the deep and meaningful questions. I am so over this kid, and the whole boring-ness of Naley and their family altogether. Of course Nathan is gonna get his degree and become a certified agent and get everything he wants - how can he not with such an amazing woman by his side *insert eye roll*. Barf. Next.
Brooke, Julian and the Mother-Ships. Or Mother Shits? I haven't decided yet. First off, it was complete bullshit that Victoria got released on Thanksgiving. Are they not even bothering to go for realism at all anymore on this show? Second of all, Julian's mother and her drinking is getting real old, real fast. Either do something with this storyline or let it go. We got it the first few hundred times she asked for wine and mentioned alcohol that there was a problem there, so PROGRESS PEOPLE! Fuck I really hate this show. Do I blame Brooke for being mad at Victoria - hell no, this woman is a certified bitch. But she makes things interesting. I just wish they would stop coming and going with her character and the relationship she shares with Brooke. They're loving, they hate each other, they're loving again - it's giving me whiplash and I don't care for it anymore. It's old. It's tired. Redundant. let's move on. Julian was pathetic as always, for some reason the writers feel the need to keep lamenting that fact. Not getting picked for a team - since when was Nathan such a fucking prick? And now his bitch of a son follows suit? This isn't funny anymore, it's boring and shameful. Fucking move on already. At least Julian didn't ask the question ALL FUCKING DAY! He did however, add to mushy Brulian moments that I could have done without. Bitch, meaning Brooke, stop fucking whining. There are many people out there with less than you. Give it up.
Millicent and Mouth. Yeah, I don't give a fuck. They're gonna get back together and it's going to be as boring as their entire relationship has been. Enough said.
Alex and Mia. Sorry Mia, but you just plain outright SUCK. First, she acts like a bitch in the house, second she acts like a bitch on the field, and when she gets laid out over the grass she takes a cheap shot and punches Alex when her back is turned. Mia is the most pathetic character on the show right now and I just wanted that bitch to drown in the river. Alex is a thousand times better right now, and the fact that Chase even had to make a decision between this two is stupid. Then to find out that little skater boy douche didn't pick either because he's PMSing and decided he deserved better - get over yourself you moron! And then the predictability of the girls actually being civil when they watched his decision on video... this show is SHIT. Big, stinking, sloppy SHIT!
Skills going after another mother? Uhm, it didn't work the first time with Deb, why go there again? Why even make light of it? The references aren't that funny and Skillz used to be cool. Now he's a joke too - but that was inevitable considering where ALL the characters are these days.
And then we have Clay and Quinn. YEP, she-devil is back. Goodbye tolerable Clay. Of course we got hit with another sappy reunion moment that made me want to hurl. And then a completely laughable moment where we're supposed to believe that Quinn is after Katie. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, this white-hussy bitch is really capable of stalking and getting back at the woman who shot her. I laughed at how pathetic it was and seriously, i am rolling my eyes at how they're gonna drag this out and somehow have Quinn lose her mind but be saved by Clay, after she gets Katie back. YAWN. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. This is fucking stupid.
So after yet another week of the same boring crap, where do we find ourselves?
1. Haley is pregnant. She remembered Lucas this week however the crisis center is still forgotten now that Erin is the focus of her life.
2. Jamie has braces. He's also annoying as hell and having deep and meaningful conversations way beyond his years.
3. Nathan is trying to be a sports agent. Turns out he's bad at school and never graduated college. Nathan, bad at school? NO WAY!
4. Mia is still in love with Chase and is acting like a pus-infected boil on everyone's ass. she's now also a dirty fighter as she can only get a good hit in when her opponent's back is turned. Slore.
5. Julian's Mom is in town and she's a drinker.
6. Julian has no friends.
7. Alex is an actress and girls are jealous of her.
8. Clay got shot. He has trouble moving things because of the injury that gets mentioned every week. Tune on next week for him to tell you again, in case you forgot.
9. Quinn is back and is apparently intimidating and a crazy stalker now. should have seen that coming when she couldn't keep away from Clay when she was still married.
10. Brooke is having Mommy issues and finally decided to see the good in her life. but not before mentioning she'd lost everything again.
11. Mouth is a freak. He finally got Millie back so maybe now we won't suffer anymore bitch tears.
12. Skillz is hot for Mom. A new one this time, but still the same old story.
Yeah... this show got another season why?

How About Some Cheese With Your WHINE???
Whine: A long-drawn, high-pitched complaining cry or sound; to utter a whine; to complain or protest in a childish manner or about trivial things.
I felt like I should have set up camp with a box of crackers and cheese just to complete the setting for this week's One Tree Hill episode. That was of course, when I actually remembered it was on. And if I'm being completely honest, I DIDN'T actually remember, I was reminded by Todd when he asked about the blog. WHOOPS.
What comes next? My foot up your ass, jerk off!
And now we're pretty much at the end of the episode. Yet again, another riveting episode. Here's what we learnt this week:
2. Jamie has braces.
3. Nathan and the word "retired" were featured in another sentence together and he's now a sports agent.
4. Mia is still in love with Chase and is acting like a pus-infected boil of everyone's ass.
5. Julian's Mom is in town. She is no longer paying for the wedding.
6. Julian is asking the question "What Comes Next?" He also has no friends.
7. Alex is an actress. This fact was made known to us again this week.
8. Mouth is a freak. He's still crying over Millie like a bitch.
9. Brooke lost her company and is crying about it.
Yes. Moving forward in TV shows was SO last season according to these genius writers.

Apparently Predictability and Mannequins are the Secrets to a Successful Episode?

Not Even Halloween Could Save This Wretched Mess
So this rant is up later than usual. I apologize for this, but as you probably guessed, I delayed watching this show as long as I could. Honestly, the only reason I haven't quit altogether is because of this blog. And all of you. Your honesty kinda rocks and is missing from the CW Boards. I find it refreshing.
Plus I like to bitch about things without being censored. Go Blogging!
Anyway, so here we are again for episode 6 of season 8. Again, there's not much to blog about as very few things happened to move the show forward. I find this is a common theme for season 8. They fucked up last season by throwing too many characters and storylines in our faces last season, that now I guess this is their way of compensating for that poor decision. Unfortunately for them, they have gone too far in the opposite direction and for some reason are clinging to storylines and dragging them out as long as possible.
I guess this is what happens when a writing team share barely enough braincells between them to come up with an actual, decent storyline.
So let's go through the motions as we do every week. This shouldn't take to long.
Brooke & Julian. So... I was surprised at how he is with his mother. I seemed to recall last season that his fucked-up reason for saving Alex was because he couldn't save the mother ship, correct? This was his lame justification for abusing Brooke emotionally for the sake of crackhead Alex. Then we meet Mom (whom I guess has a thing for alcohol, although she seemed to be handling her liquor - just waiting for THAT obvious storyline to come out), and the truth is, Julian is just a little bitch. That dog outfit was spot on for him. Was his mother dressed as Cruella for some symbolic reason? I'm sorry, she can't beat Victoria for that crown. And Julian just licks her ass like an obedient pup. So I guess this is the new nemesis for Brooke, because apparently she can't catch a break, right Markhole? What's the bet mother-dearest loves Alex?
I gave up caring about Brulian a long time ago, mostly because Julian turned into some whore-loving wank-stick who puts his girlfriend's needs on the bottom rung of his care-factor ladder, and now I have a feeling I'm going to be exposed to more Brooke whining and unhappiness. Great, just great Mark. Ta-fucking-da! What a genius plan! This is such a brilliant new concept for her character. Your writing skills amaze me! Wait no... scratch that. We've been down this fucking boring road, haven't we? It leads to... poor ratings. But hey, keep skipping down your yellow-brick road and enjoy the illusion of Emerald City. What a douche-bag!
And can I just say, what the fuck do they think they're achieving by making Julian into a complete tool? What was with that high-five? We get it, the man is a loser, a dork, can't play basketball, nerd in school who didn't get the popular girl... blah fucking blah! WE GET IT! Fact is, WE DON'T CARE! Move on already!
Naley. Nothing new here. Seems like Nathan is in the beginnings of starting a career as an agent. He'll help his friend, feel the man love and find a new dream that he is good at. Well, hooray for you! Haley, what did we get from you today? You found your mystery caller and she's an amazing singer - who didn't pick THAT like a dirty nose? Guess this could be where the crossover comes into play? Whatever, I don't care about this chick, Erin, was it? Seriously. What else did Haley do? Oh right, bum-fuck all. Yep, that's about right. We are now aware that she is pregnant and scared of clowns. Stuff we already knew so we'll just move on.
Quinn and Clay. Who else rolled their eyes when Quinn was seen in her underwear again? Note to Mark - if it don't have b-bumps ANYWHERE (i.e boobs, belly or booty) it don't look good on tv. Just keep her clothed for the love of god. She's similar to a praying mantis and I'm no fan of the bug-effect. Glad she might be pissing off to Africa though. I might be able to begin eating whilst watching again. Good to know she is suffering more than Clay. very smart to bring a gun into the same room as where you both got shot. Can I also just say, go to a fucking therapist you crack-pot. Taking photos in Africa won't solve your mental issues. You had them way before now. We all saw how unstable you were when you left your husband for the most pathetic reasons on the planet. I seriously just want this bitch to die.
Clay - you can breathe again. Maybe now your face will return to normal. I say eat a burger now that the bulimic bitch has left the premises.
Jamie and friend. So Jamie is going to get a girlfriend. His little friend Chuck is a douche. His father loves him. I lost ten minutes or so of my life watching this little ferret. NEXT!
Alex and Chase. So Alex is gone and Chase is brooding about it. Mia walked in like a slutty version of Ariel. Fake tits for all to see. Note to Kate V - those plastic funbags don't take the focus off your dog face. I half expected her to start yapping at the bar like a chihuahua on heat. And Chase deserves better than Alex? I'm glad you're not saying it's you because honey, you're lower than dirt. So Alex has to leave for a movie - how is that different from you leaving for a musical tour? Dumping via text message cos you're too much of a pussy to face things head on. BITCH PUH-LEASE - you are starting to annoy me almost as much as Quinn.
Mouth and Millie. So you fucked. We don't care, really. Either get together or stay apart. Either way, your drawn out love whatever is boring and we don't give two shits about it. Fuck, I would have gone home with anyone besides Mouth too. Who does he think he is telling her they're just having fun? Little rodent is lucky a woman is actually giving him the time of day with the ugly mug he has on him.
Also, I felt the Brooke/Mouth scene was a huge let down. If it wasn't for Mouth and Haley, Brooke would never have started the company in the first place. Him with the website and Haley with the encouragement. And now she has lost everything, they had a two minute scene about it. Whatever. This bullshit show has just become so pathetic lately every minute of it is a new letdown.
So, recap of what we learned from this episode:
1. Brooke lost her company and is sad about it. But hey, we're moving forward because Julian's Mom is in town and... they're planning the wedding.
2. Julian is asking the question "What Comes next?"
3. Clay and Quinn got shot. They say "I Love You" a lot.
4. Nathan gave up basketball and doesn't know what to do next.
5. Mia can't get over Chase and is acting like a pus-infected boil on everyone's ass.
6. Haley is pregnant.
7. Alex is an actress.
8. Mouth is a freak.
Yes, as you can see - we're moving ahead in leaps and bounds!
