The only season of One Tree Hill that I watched was Season Five, so I have a different impression of the show and some of the characters than the rest of you do. I had avoided watching the show because I didn't like Chad Michael Murray's character on Dawson's Creek (he played Charlie, a "player" who shamelessly used Jen, but he then acted like Joey walked on water (just like all of the other male characters on the show) ). I wish now that I had watched it. As the Site Runner though, I can say that while the One Tree Hill board was the most popular board we ever had here, it also produced the nastiest fighting between Brooke and Lucas fans and Lucas and Peyton fans. The fighting on that board was so bad that at one point all of the moderators quit at once, and the reason I started watching the show was to help the moderators.

Jerry, you really owe it to yourself to watch Seasons 1-4 of this show. They are the best episodes of the series with season 6 being the exception. I admit that Brooke grew on me in later seasons, but as Michelle said, Brooke did some really despicable things early on. I will add that Peyton never had to grow on me. She had me at Hello.
And...you will like Chad Michael Murray in this show...flawed..but a good person and very likable. You really do need to give this show a try...from the beginning! That's your homework assignment. Listen to the teacher! Last edited by jediwands; 09-15-2017 at 02:02 PM |

You really should watch, Jerry. I've been wanting you to watch for such a long time. It's on Netflix. You just might discover what all of us already know... Lucas/Peyton are an amazing relationship, one established from day 1, they are the Ephram/Amy of the show. Brooke and Lucas are Pacey/Joey. Put it this way... Pacey and Joey had a better emotional connection than Lucas/Brooke. I despise Lucas/Brooke much more and not because I felt threatened. Lucas/Peyton are the Ephram/Amy of the show and you see that in The Pilot. So I wasn't threatened. I was just so sick of watching them without an emotional connection, just having sex, and there being zero substance to the relationship. Brooke/Lucas were revisited only because of Chad/Sophia. It was such a joke and completely off the wall how it all came to be. Joke. Hot mess. Thankfully Mark didn't lose his vision of Lucas/Peyton because we were constantly reminded that they are THE pairing. When Sophia Bush comes right out repeatedly and said she shipped Leyton it was everything. She understood what the story of OTH was all about... Lucas, Lucas/Peyton, the relationship between the two brothers. Those were the main themes. Sophia Bush wore a Lucas/Peyton t-shirt supporting them. She never wavered. I admire her for this. It would have been so easy for her to go with the flow and even get caught up in the triangle because of personal feelings either way but she didn't. It was always Lucas/Peyton because she was intelligent and understood the story being told. Quote:
Peyton had a heart of gold. She's one of the most unique, beautiful characters on TV. I adore her. It's so easy to fall in love with her from day 1 like we all did. Quote:

Betty, remember Mister ED aka Lindsey? Remember our nickname for her?
I posted this a few days ago but you might have missed it... even the actress who played Lindsey knew she was a horrible character and not meant to be embraced. She knew she was to be viewed in a negative light. I love it so much that the actress validated this. It goes right along with why we all disliked her. Here is what she said: Quote:

What Lucas told Peyton here in The Pilot and they didn't even know each other is more than what he ever opened up to Brooke about when they had their joke of a relationship. It's incredible how Lucas immediately knows he can open up to Peyton. Their connection is instant. I would even go so far as to say they connected faster than Ephram/Amy because Amy had a slight agenda when she first met Ephram. With Lucas and Peyton they immediately emotionally connected. You see how Lucas doesn't even hesitate. Peyton is still rough around the edges here but her walls are already coming down because it's Lucas. Comet and the epic "I'll be seeing ya" line too.
I LOVE these two. For me it's Ephram/Amy, Lucas/Peyton as the two that just had me immediately. Emotional connections are golden. I also immediately connected to Peyton personally. I am so much like her. Even have the same Ramones T-shirt. Peyton is who I am, Brooke is who I despised in high school. I was even like Peyton where I was in the popular group and there were a bunch of Brooke's around me that I couldn't stand. |

Mark put so much thought and attention to Lucas/Peyton from day 1. I love when creator/showrunners pull everything together and the story makes sense from the start. Berlanti did this with Ephram/Amy, Mark did this with Lucas/Peyton. The story is so powerful when you have strong writing supporting it. |
