I think we'll see a lot of Naley in this ep. It's going to be sad but it'll also show them as parents at a greater level I think. Can't wait!

Oh it definitely will

Haley and Nathan are such great parents and they're really protective over Jamie so it sure as hell will be sad to see them explain to him what happened to Q. I seriously can't wait to see the eppie! It's going to be sad but also full of Joy's great acting, for sure.

I can't wait to watch the episode tonight, it's going to be sad..Joy is going to be amazing as always, I know I will cry when Nathan and Haley have to tell Jamie

I will never for the life of me understand this show. You expect nothing and get episodes like 602. You expect greatness and get... that.

Definitely a HUGE let down for me.

**tutorgirl323** · 09-15-2008, 07:02 PM

I'll post a reaction when I stop crying

So I've heard. I'm watching it now so I'll post my reaction after.

I really wasn't disappointed. It wasn't that much of a let down.

**tutorgirl323** · 09-15-2008, 07:34 PM

I wasn't disappointed either Jay. I really enjoyed the episode, I thought it was a great episode. I didn't agree with my mom about it being one of the best episodes ever, but I still thought it was a great episode.

I... just don't know what else to say about it. Joy's scenes were great, but the episode blew. Hard core. There was so much more they could've done with it and SO much that didn't just fall flat, it had the fizz sucked out of it into an vacuum of uselessness.

LHScott · 09-15-2008, 07:45 PM

Did Haley have alot of scenes?

I think it should have been Jamie/Haley/Nathan at the casket in the end.

**killed the lights** · 09-15-2008, 08:02 PM

Word Lyn. Joy's scenes where phenomenal, but I can't say the same for the whole episode. Not even close. I don't understand why Nathan went to Brooke's house and I really don't understand why Brooke was at the casket with Jamie at the end. Not only is that an emotional time when he should be with his parents, but Haley freaking made that cape for Q, and Brooke is standing there with Jamie and cape? Jamie can have scenes with Brooke/Peyton/Random other #3, but DEFINITELY not at a time like this. Not at all. Jamie should be with his parents. The end. Makes absolutely NO sense whatsoever. Ugh with this show. I was just starting to believe in it again, and then it pulls this crap. I can never look forward to anything anymore, other than Joy obviously.

**tutorgirl323** · 09-15-2008, 08:03 PM

Yeah, Haley didn't have as many scenes as last week but she still had a lot.

I didn't necessarily like it being Brooke at the end with Jamie, but I understood it. It's hard to greive and have to support someone else while you're trying to grieve too. When my grandfather died I was trying to help my mom grieve, but I was grieving too, and sometimes it's just better to let someone else step in when you can't fully be there. I know a lot of people who have had similar situations as well, where they went to someone else because their parents couldn't necessarily be there for them at that hard time.

... But Brooke was crying there too, and she was grieving. Not for the same reasons, but she still was. Anyway, that's not really the point IMO. I don't think Nathan or Haley couldn't "be there" for their son. They were putting him first and foremost, ala why they didn't want him going to the funeral because it was going to be Q's last goodbye. Nathan/Haley/Jamie could have had more touching/inspirational scenes if they cut all the BN/JB stuff. That was completely unnecessary, especially when Haley was the one to make the cape.

Brooke had no business being there in the first place. You just don't invite your whole posse to a funeral just because. Junk and Fergie really had no business being there either but at least they were inactive in their intrusiveness. The lack of NH/NHJ/HJ was just so disappointing. You'd think Brooke and Peyton were the closest to Quentin the way this whole thing panned out. It was a waste of a great storyline for NHJ.
