TV Review: One Tree Hill - "Things I Forgot At Birth" - Page 2

I get that there has been some history with the three of them in a love triangle. And I get that teenage love is pretty petty. I don’t get why her best friend crushing on her boyfriend is means to dump her boyfriend. During the last episode of One Tree Hill, she said it was because he didn’t fight for her or miss her. If that is the case, why is she so hung up on Peyton and Lucas being friends? She stuck to her guns and what she needed. While that doesn’t make a break up easy, it does mean she needs to remember she no longer can pretend to have any say over who he is friends with.

Brooke unpacks her stuff as she moves into her old room, which is now Rachel’s. It seems as if Brooke thinks everyone forgot her birthday. Rachel takes Brooke to a club to celebrate. They discuss Lucas the entire time. At least until Rachel flirts with some guy to have a one-night stand she thinks will help her get over Cooper. Instead of that working, Rachel seems to set her sights on Nathan. If Rachel stays in the series, I hope they give her more depth than being the girl with the obsessive crushes. And I really hope she doesn’t ruin Nathan and Haley’s marriage. Using her music career as a means to split them up the second season of One Tree Hill was stupid; I like them together.

Peyton is still debating if she wants to call her half-brother or not. She eventually dials the number only to be told to never call again. She then turns to her podcast to talk about it. I’m glad the podcast is back in the show; it has been pretty absent the last season or two. I guess Derek saw her podcast because he showed up on her porch. Hopefully introducing his character won’t have such a dramatic plotline following like Ellie’s introduction into One Tree Hill.

    Maybe Lucas could actually get Brooke back.. AND Peyton could become friend with her again if they stop getting cozy everywhere and Lucas stops putting his arm around Peyton every time they're together!!
    Bleh.

    Also... how in the world would Peyton's brother have even found her podcast?

    Last episode was not the greatest.
    And it appears they're making the show go in a silly direction... Rachel after Nathan, after she was sorry she wrecked their wedding? Hmmm... is a girl really that bad??
    Brooke really living with a girl she couldn't stand?

    Skillz is the only one that makes a little sense lately. Lucas, listen to Skillz!

    HAHA, yeah, I like Skillz. I was glad when he became a more active character on One Tree Hill.

    nathan and haley are the best couple ever, rachael should leave nathan alone. Lucas should choose who he wants to go out with not what everyone is saying to him. He should fallow his heart. Rachael should find her own man not take someone with is dating/MARRIED.

    I have to say, I just started watching "OTH" last year while I was home after having surgery. But now I'm hooked & thanks to TiVo, I'm getting caught up. I recently saw a rerun with the character named "Cooper". Can someone PLEASE tell me what his real name is... or what else I've seen him on. I know I've seen him, but can't remember on what show.

    Thanks
