Season 5 for sure.  I'm also sad we didn't get to see them in the later seasons with their daughter. |
Agreed. Most people seem to dislike s2 more than s5 for LP but I feel as you do.
s5 kind of tore at the LP bond that was established in s3 onwards. It hurt more to see them like that after being such a close friends/ a couple in s4. Things kind of broke apart by the end of s1 so it wasn't surprising that they kept their distance from each other in s2. And Lucas pursued that friendship toward the end of s2, he still cared about her and it was evident in all their scenes. In s5, I had no idea what was going on inside his head most of the season. It wasn't as obvious, he was just so angry and bitter. Understandably but it just wasn't consistent with the way Lucas had been written previously. Peyton had always been special and he took special care with her. In s5 that was gone and it hurt. I think that's why I prefer most of their scenes post wedding over the pre wedding ones. There was at least a kind of hesitancy/awkwardness to their scenes as they attempted to be friends/be around each other again. Then that great scene at the end of the season, "I remember the first time I saw you, skinny arms and a tangled mess of hair."
