Who else thought the food was the best part of this week's episode?
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.
~ Dear Lucas. Do you remember a time when this show used to be good? When the characters were more than whiny bitches with too much time on their hands? Do remember when we broke that wishbone and even though you had the bigger piece you let me have the wish? And when I wished for a good life, free from boredom and to be living my dreams with good, decent people surrounding me... I NEVER GOT MY FUCKING WISH AND NOW I AM INFLICTING UNNECESSARY VISUAL HORROR ON ABOUT 2 MILLION PEOPLE A WEEK. If I'm lucky.
This is what I have to say to you, Lucas. You did good in getting out. And I hope Seyton is dead ~
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?
Rant and rave people,
Toddian and Chrissy.
