Oh this episode :sigh: 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).

:lol: 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 :)

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. :love:

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. :lol:

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 :lol: 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. :lol: 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?

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 :yay:

I thought so, too!

Love the naked in the backseat scene :lol:

Interesting first meeting for them!

And "that's when it all changed..."

It did truly all change there.

So cute to see Brooke and Peyton in their cheerleader uniforms. :love:

Brooke popping up in Lucas' backseat. :lol:

Nathan not knowing about Peyton's sketches - shows how great of a boyfriend he is. *eye roll*

Karen and Keith's conversation in the car, awwe. Karen owned a cheerleader outfit. :lmao:

Taking Luke's clothes away from his locker, RUDE. But made for a nice scene. :eyebrows:

Dan cares more about Nathan's basketball career than he does. :sigh:

Haley being Nathan's tutor, the start of it all!!

Brooke chatting to Lucas during class. Typical Brooke. :lol:

The court being trashed. :( Lovely Peyton came over when she did.

Kidnapping Lucas - they were so mean to my poor boy!

I just watched this episode fairly recently too. It's funny to see how far they came!

Brooke was so....... Friendly

:lmao: Love coach walking up to Lucas' car :lol:

I remember liking Peyton, but for these past three episodes, I'm just not the biggest fan :shrug: She's so angry all the time :shrug:

I immediately fell in love with Brooke. A nice fresh breeze :nod:
"Maybe he's gay."
"No, I think he's just nice."
:lmao:

Gosh I dislike Dan :no:

Ugh those freaking boosters moms :nono:

I love the bond Lucas and Karen have :love:

Haley lying to Lucas though :no:

she was pretty angry at first, i think they softened her up a bit after that. :nod:

though, with nathan as a crappy boyfriend it made sense she was angry. :lol:

Lucas making the winning shot was awesome!!

I forgot how "friendly" Brooke was in the beginning :lol: But I love her!

The beginning of Naley!! :sigh::love: They are my OTH OTP!! Haley agreeing to tutor Nathan so that he'll leave Lucas alone! But it was sad when she didn't tell Lucas about it! :( But the cracker jack scene!! :love:

Dan is still the worst! His little digs at Nathan are just so awful. It's no wonder Nathan is such a jerk all the time!

The hazing on Lucas sucks, but that basketball scene was nice!! :drool::lol:

I love Karen and Keith's relationship so much!! It makes me sad though for obvious reasons..

Jake is such a good guy!! I love how he has Luke's back!

The boosters were so annoying! I love that Karen stood up to them :lol: (also one of the booster moms was Melissa Ponzio who plays Scott McCall's mom on Teen Wolf)

I've misses this show so much!! :D
