This sounds like the recipe for a good episode. And I find it amusing they refer to it as "Peyton's condition"

What is the point of this lame dancing?

MasterandCommander

The song is called "Bust a Move" thus the reason for the lame dancing

Congratulations Chad Michael Murray on your directorial debut!


Best line: Peyton: "I'm going to be pregnant at our wedding and that's so redneck." Ha! Mike Daniels, you have to be a southern boy!

xelanoops

we so have to have a brooke/julian thread now ??

so freaking epic those two

plus like everything else in the ep - except mouth i hate him

Ayan

Other then the cute scenes of LP, LN, LH, and JuB Everything else was just a bore.

The whole dancing thing with Nathan/Chase was Lame. Never do it again, the kids I understand, but never again do I want to see Nathan dance. Ever!

Don't care for MC or MM. Just was Lame.

Overall Best parts were LP cuddling, Nathan and Lucas on walkies talkies and my new fav Julian/Brooke.

On Fire

I haven't laughed so much at a OTH episode in a long time. The LH/LN scenes and Brooke and Julian made the episode.

Nathan/Chase and Jamie/Andre rapping and dance, I could not stop laughing that is how horrible it was. The kids were cute. Nathan NO!

Jamie is officially the smartest kid in the world. He knows how to play poker and he plays so well he beat his Uncle who is in his twenties. Not only that he has magical powers. He can smell when his daddy comes home and he comes running with something really cute to say. Amazing!

I don't really care about Sam and Jack but I thought she was a really good friend especially after his brother tried to kill/rape her.

I am also really enjoying the Brooke/Sam dynamic.

Haley still has no storyline but at least she had more screen time this week.

Next week looks great. I "The Beek"

I don't think I realized how much Julian and Brooke actually have in common, and how they could really be compatible. I think I could go for a Brooke Julian hook up...which it definately looks like its headed that way. I actually think Peyton would be totally ok with it, as long as he doesn't break Brooke's heart.

The walkie-talkie thing was cute at the end. But I was totally going...wow Lucas must have scored some really great walkies b/c usually those things have a set distance thing on them right? Guess their houses aren't too far apart. lol

LOVED all the Lucas and Peyton scenes. sooo adorable. Peyton with the basketball under her nightgown....lol

I liked the Mouth and Brooke scene. Glad she was kind of being there for him a bit and giving him advice....brings us back to the whole she's his friend before she's Millie's.

I personally loved the "Bust a move" karokee event. Everyone knows Nathan can't dance...that was what made it even more funny!! Of course Jamie now...that kid did not inherit his Dad's uh...lack of dancing skills. haha.

Jackson was great in this episode!

I think Chad did a ever nice job directing this episode. Lots happened in this episode.

Everyone did a great job, in my opinion.

BJu FTW!

same old story

It was meh. I didn't really notice anything different from the normal directing, so I guess that's good, right? The only thing I really remember noticing, directing wise, was Brooke and Peyton moving the box in front of the camera, the slowmo of Andre and Jamie on Lucas and OMG, slow mo of Mia. DO NOT WANT OR NEED. God, why are Mia and Chase alive? And I really don't think there is a SINGLE person in the ENTIRE world that gives a crap about what happens with MM, is there?!

That ending was really ... random, or was it just me? Like, that didn't really fit in with the rest of episode, IMO. Also, hella cheesy. But everything with NH and/or Jamie is cringe worthy nowadays, so ... Like that DANCING. No, thank you. Only OTH would have put that on for so damn long.
