Oh this episode I'm gonna be honest, I'll probably skip to all the NH scenes when I rewatch it.

Are there scenes other than NH in this episode? News to me.


This was the episode that got me hooked. I honestly think I would have stopped watching after the first 2 episodes if the show hadn't introduced NH in this one. So should I say thank you to Jenifer Cecil or curse her? Hmm....

I've seen the NH scenes so many times over the years that I don't need to rewatch them to know they are my favorite part of the episode, with the crackerjack scene being the ultimate favorite scene, but I'll try to find time to rewatch the entire episode this week and come back with more thoughts, including least favorite moment(s).

For You to Notice...

To be fair, I think you should thank Jennifer Cecil and curse Mark.

I feel the same. I watched this episode last week and right now I can't say what happened here at all, except for NH scenes.

Anyway, I'll say something more, when I'll look what happened in this episode again tomorrow.

I just watched it. I forgot that it was the burning boat episode. It is the start of Nathan and Haley. The crackerjack bracelet those are my favorite parts

Ah the start of the show's OTP (romantically)

Loved the first tutoring session

Yes. This episode is really the beginning of the OTP love story of the show, and you gotta love that

For You to Notice...

So, overall, it was a nice episode. I liked it a lot more than the first two episodes, mainly of NH. I loved every second of their scenes, especially the tutoring session.

What else... Brooke made Lucas' scenes less boring than usual, I liked how badassy Nathan was and... God I wanted to say more, but I forget what is in this episode again.

Favorite part:

hmmm hard to choose, but I did like NH's first scene ever. I wish that Haley had been that sarcastic to him for longer but of course I do also love that ot didn't take her long at all to see there was more to him than meets the eye.

Least favorite:

ehhhh I didn't really care about the rest to have a strong dislike, it was all just ok.

Should we continue guys?

cant believe it took this long for nh to interact, actually. but they had a nice little connection/backstory going. i like how they met and why.

the burning boat is a classic oth episode and i love that it made a comeback in season 9. it has such a warm, homey feel to it, doesnt it?

break the window

I loved the burning boat. I wish they would've had that as a continuing thing. I'm sure every year there would be new things for each character to throw away. There's always something that's holding you back from moving on

I like how NH met too.

This was a good episode for NH and Brooke and Lucas meet
