EVERY ONE TREE HILL EPISODE

Season 1 Episode 1 - Pilot

I may have already made a post about this but I don't think I have so I thought I'd take the chance. I have these rants or thoughts in my head and sometimes I just have to get them down in writing or I'll be playing it in my head all day lol

I feel like the One Tree Hill writers room went to work and the first thing they said was "This show is not going to be Dawson's Creek and we are going to make that clear at every turn."

The first thing I think about is the Lucas and Haley friendship. They even went out of there way to separate Lucas/Haley from Dawson/Joey by making Haley make disparaging jokes about Dawson and Joey in the Pilot. I really respect the decision to make Lucas and Haley only friends and they never wavered from that. There was never even a second when they hinted that their relationship could be more than friends.

In some ways Nathan and Haley are equivalent from Pacey and Joey in One Tree Hill and they made the decision of getting Nathan and Haley together and then never really breaking them up. Unlike the Pacey and Joey model where there was the stupid love triangle with Dawson and they broke them up and got them together and broke them up again. Pacey and Joey really deserved better writers. Pacey and Joey have some of the best chemistry in TV and the writers did not know how to utilize that treasure.

The female friendships are absolutely atrocious in Dawson's Creek. I mean is there really a female friendship? I mean I guess Jen and Joey but even that was littered with tension most of the time and even after they buried the hatchet Joey would put men above Jen all the time. Like when she started dating the guy who cheated on Jen and then when Jen tried to help her she was really mean to Jen. I blame the writers for that. That is atrocious! Write better female friendships you cowards. In One Tree Hill, the friendships certainly have their ups and downs but you have Haley and Brooke, Brooke and Peyton, Haley and Peyton, Deb and Karen. Every woman on the show has at least one really great female friendship.

The fact that OTH never killed off any of the original teenage characters as in Nathan, Haley, Brooke, Lucas, Peyton, Skills, Mouth. Dawson's Creek just had to be assholes and kill off Jen in the last episode. But I really think giving all of them happy endings was really a concerted effort to be different from Dawson's Creek. And the reason I believe that is that they even brought on James Van Der Beek in a small role where he played a director... kind of a wink to his character in DC and he's talking to Lucas about his book that's going to be turned into a movie. It's something that's so similar to DC. Both Dawson and Lucas wrote books, movies, or TV shows about their lives. James' character has this to say "All right, clear your head, all right? What if Haley... Dies? I'm saying think about it. People love that stuff." You can tell that sometimes the writers are poking fun at some of the Dawson's Creek writing choices and I fully support it lol

The writers on One Tree Hill weren't always great and there was certainly one completely rotten apple in that bunch... cough M*** S****** cough but it really seemed like they went into writing the show with the intentions that it was gonna be better than Dawson's Creek in every way. Now if only there could have been a Dawson's Creek/One Tree Hill crossover and we could have seen Pacey and Joey show up in OTH then it would have been perfect lol

⇉ Season 1, Episode 1: end of episode

↳ There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose the ventures before us.

You Know What's Weird? OTH Chat

Brooke's parents were absent for most of her life and most of the show. What's weird is that not a single adult that was in her life, thought to call the cops or CPS and tell them that a teenager lived by herself in a house, no parents, no supervision or caregiver of any kind. There were a handful of adults that were in and around Brooke's life when she was in high school, that could've and should've stepped up. Karen, Keith, Whitey, Larry. These are the only ones I can think of right off the bat who would care enough to get involved, but none ever did. It's crazy to me how this was never mentioned in the show, or how it was never a big thing in the fandom. Or at least, it wasn't talked about in the fandom spaces I used to frequent.

✩ FAVORITE CHARACTER MEME ✩ ↬ dynamics: brooke & karen roe [3/5]

I've always wondered where that strength comes from. That dignity and grace that you have put on in the face of everything that's happened in your life. Because I really want to be that kind of person someday. You already are, Brooke Davis. You've come further than anyone I know. And if you want to know a secret, you've just scratched the surface.

KAREN!! 😭

I like to headcanon she would have liked Brooke as her daughter in law given how similar in high school they were!

watching one tree hill and seeing the Roe-Scott family getting everything they wanted, only to have it be taken away in the next episode is absolutely heartbreaking

There are layers to this parallel tho!! 💖😁

1. The way that Karen comes in and tells Keith that she’s not going to her son Lucas’ Basketball game and then in the second gif Haley comes in and we see that she is going to her son Jamie’s Basketball game. One of the reasons for Karen not going being her fraught relationship with the father of her child...Dan. Haley is going to Jamie’s game with one of Dan’s sons... Nathan who is the love of her life/husband/father of her child. That parallel really underlines the difference between Nathan and his father. Dan abandoned his child and was physically and/or verbally abusive to both of his sons. But Nathan is there for his children and loves his wife. He truly broke that cycle of abuse and we see that beautifully shown in this parallel. If Nathan had been a lesser guy or if a few different choices had been made, you can see how it could very well have been Lucas going to the game with Haley in season 9. That would have been a more one to one or on the nose parallel. Instead the OTH writers decided to show a narrative that is more compelling and interesting. To see a woman get the dream... you know a career, a fulfilling romantic relationship, and two wonderful children. To see a man choose to be a better person than his father and to give his children the fatherly relationship that he never had. 

2. The way that Haley subtly references Nathan in the first gif almost as a reason that Karen isn’t going to the game and then in the second she’s married and in love with Nathan and going to watch their son’s Basketball game with each other and their daughter Lydia.
