Who Will Survive and What Will Be Left of Them ep3.17 orig airdate 3/29/06
Sunday, April 02, 2006
Talk about lack of updates??? We have had a couple of really fucking great episodes and I didn't even post a single thing at this blog. Season 3 has bee the best yet! Nathan and Haley have been friggin' awesome. I can't wait until May to find out if they get a season 4. I am dying to know!!!

In the meantime, I will just say that everyone else in the free world has been keeping up on OTH so I am going to post Jackie's review of the last episode. (I'm totally stealing it from her LJ... but she loves me so its ok.)

Her Review:
EEEEK brand new OTH last night and I LOVED it. Sure there were some things worthy of a few eye rolls but NH/JLs were so amazing that I have absolutely no qualms about it and cannot complain at all. Mark still writes the best emotional episodes. The episode was just so sad and depressing...yet there was light at the end of the tunnel.

Ok so lets see first I FLOVED the black screen with the "stages of grief" so true and so good.Lucas: Its not often that I feel sorry for him LOL but my heart was literally breaking for him last night. I felt so awful for him and when Karen said what she did...wow I wanted to give him a hug (and I never want to do that normally). And I was so proud of him at the end for doing what Keith would have wanted.

Karen: I was shoked yes because it was such an anti-Karen thing to say but I totally get that she was in her own grief and upset at the idea that she could have lost Lucas too and she was just lashing out. She's obviously having a lot of trouble with this which is understandable.Moira and Chad did an awesome job. Yes Chad too, I give credit where its due. But then again I thought the whole cast did an awesome job!

The RC boys including Junk! Loved seeing them and loved the Skillz/Lucas scene....totally realistic that his friends would be there for him.

Dan: He's being haunted. Good. Let the guilt eat him alive. When he finds out it was Deb who tried to kill him....ha, its gonna be so good to see the look on his face. Enjoyed how the episode started, "whyd you kill him?...he was weak" no Dan....*you* are the weak one.

Mouth: Totally in character for him to stand up for Jimmy. and I liked his scene with Rachel because it seemed honest on both parts. I like that Rachel has layers, and she's only used here and there, so she doesnt bother me too much as a secondary character.

Brooke: I liked that she tried to be there for Lucas and BH are totally awesome and I even enjoyed the BL "rescuing" scene.....but then she goes to Peyton and gets all insecure again. You know its not that she doesnt have a reason to be but get a grip woman! Everytime Lucas is near Peyton she starts saying Lucas likes Peyton...Lucas will tire of that eventually. But then again I see trouble brewing. Brooke doesnt know about the kiss and she will view that as betrayal most likely. Should be an interesting situation with the living thing.

Peyton: First Lucas makes fun of Brooke's letters and now of Peyton's dying confession....you know he's kind of a jerk LOL but he was just kidding around. I enjoyed the LP scene...they tried to play it off as just some friendly talk and I believe Lucas loves Brooke but I think Peyton may have some lingering feelings for Lucas....she kept saying "lucas loves YOU" like she was trying to convince herself that he didnt love her. I dont know I just see trouble coming. And I know everyone hates the triangles but come on every show has one even DC it was DJP....but as a viewer who doesnt mind BL OR LP I enjoy the ride =D

Whitey: He's just the man. I knew he'd have something great to say and he did. Barry rocked it totally. He always does though.Loved how at the beginning there was now metal detectors and all that...very realistic...and Lucas "letting it out" as the principal was saying also very in character for him

Things I'll choose to ignore:Party in the school? Sure....Brooke and Rachel couldnt clean up their own mess they had to leave it to Whitey? come onBrooke turned the cloth into a bedspread in a couple of hours? I dont know if I can believe thatPeyton made out with Pete? Anyone who knows me knows I never diss this show...but that was pretty lame hahahaha at least he's showing up in another episode so its not like this one-time random moment but its still totally weird and out of the blue that Pete knew where she lived and all that and just...yeah...whatever LOL!

So overall a very sad and heartbreaking episode, with fantastic music!But ok NH/JLs totally stole the show AGAIN. I wont even talk about the neck kissage. Being able to hear the smacking of the lips on the skin...mmmm..yeah The slow dance...haha they were barely moving...but the height difference is too too too adorable for words....and I totally got Haley she was almost feeling guilty for being happy with her husband when the world around them was so sad but its like Nathan told her...its never too soon. We have one life to make ourselves happy on earth and you dont know whats going to happen tomorrow. Are they sad about Keith/Jimmy? Sure. But why waste time dwelling on it? They cant do anything about it now besides living their life to the fullest and I say more power to them.

The Nathan/Haley/Lucas scene. Thumbs up for the younger Scott generation. They wont make the mistakes their parents did. Lucas and Nathan are better than Dan. Nathan isnt wasting time with Haley the way Keith sort of did with Karen. Dan couldnt or wouldnt change for Karen, but NH are getting it right. And just yeah I loved that they were both there for him. And I liked that they came full circle with the predictions. I wonder if we'll get to hear what Nathan's was?He made it rain for her! Heeee. They are awesome beyond words. I already knew about the football scene but yeah. Poor James watch him be all nasal next episode LOL the boy gets sick easily but aww I loved them being all tangled up in each other and Nathan telling her plain and simple she made him happy. I loved Haley saying "how is it possible to be this in love?" its so true. They are so beyond gone for each other that they just make you want to go find your other half as well (not that I didnt already but they make you believe it *is* possible). And they deserve this kind of happiness after everything they've been through. Its like Nathan said, it wont be easy and itll be confusing but all that matters is their love. Nothing else matters.And um yeah Joy sprawled on top of James is uber hot. James' legs were wide open LMAO and Joy kept one leg in the air, I dont know if it was intentional, but it reminded me of like the old times when ladies lifted one foot off the floor when they were kissed? Sort of like that."I want to be your husband again" :sigh: That bedroom scene was by far my favorite. So many little JLs touches, they are just LOVE. I loved how they said "mmm" at practically every kiss and how James kisses her twice after he says the husband thing....heee he totally went in for seconds. Haley's so right about the charming thing, cocky Nathan always rocks, and the little accent flare Joy did with "Lord help me.." oh I could just go on and on about that scene so let me shutup. I'll probably make one post just about that scene later. But yeah can we talk about the fact that nobody was kidding about James being in the gym all the time cuz um yeah SIX-PAC and its like clearly defined....there's one rigid line between his pecks and yeah just...WOW....he's all muscle. Lord have mercy.

So yeah I think that covers it. All around great episode and I'll ignore the little "that would never happen" thingys because they are so minor in comparison to how great the episode was. And how great NH/JLs were. Mark totally wrote another winner. He never dissapoints me.WB--> back to the crack I see...couldnt put in the "marry me again" in the promo but put the clip in making all the 13year olds think BL are getting married :rolleyes: Its not like they havent shown the NH proposal before so I dont understand why it was left out. I noticed they put in the NH kiss from 309.....;) hehehehhe Its safe to say Im ready for it to be next Wednesday like now. Totally excited. Season3 is plain awesome.

One Tree Hill Fans with Benefit
Monday, January 30, 2006
This post is from Becky at Fanforum:


ANNOUNCEMENT“One Tree Hill Fans With Benefit” Fundraising ProjectInitial Planning Committee – Volunteers NeededHi everyone, For those who don’t know me, my name is Becky and I will be coordinating our project to raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). It is our hope that this project, along with our planned letter writing campaign and street team efforts, will keep our favorite show on the air next season and for many seasons to come. In addition to saving our show, this fundraising campaign also gives us the opportunity to really make a difference and support a cause that affects all of our lives. Chances are you know someone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. If not, odds are that you will at some point in the future. Current statistics show that 1 out of 7 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. In fact a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every 2 minutes. (source: www.nationalbreastcancer.org) These are alarming statistics and I think we can all agree that if we have the opportunity to improve these odds even a fraction through our fundraising campaign, our efforts and sacrifice will be worth it. Our campaign will mirror the show's own efforts to raise awareness and money for this cause with the release of the 2nd One Tree Hill Soundtrack, "Friends with Benefit" on February 7th. This date is right around the corner and we want to launch our own project as close to this day as possible, so its time to start the first phase of this campaign, which is the formation of a planning committee.I realize that we're all eager to help with this cause and I guarantee that everyone who wants to help will get a chance in some capacity before all is said and done, BUT I want you to ask yourself a few questions before submitting your name for consideration as a volunteer for the initial planning committee.
Do I truly have time to commit to this project? I know that most of us are either full-time students, full-time mom's or full-time employees and, as a result, our lives are busy. While being a part of this committee isn't a long-term commitment, it may require a fair amount of time in the short term. Once I get the necessary information from the NBCF to get started, we will roll on this project and roll quickly. So please only volunteer for the initial planning committee if you are able to truly commit your time to it.
Am I a team player? I will be the main point of contact with our representative from the NBCF, but this is a team effort. We will be sharing and discussing ideas throughout this process and making decisions as a team or, in some cases, as a sub-committee of the team. At times, we will bring choices to the board for all to vote on. In this effort, we are not NH shippers, BL shippers or LP shippers. We are not FanForum posters, WB posters, Fanbolt posters or OTH911 posters…we are One Tree Hill fans working together towards a common goal…to get our favorite show renewed and to show our support for the very worthy cause of breast cancer research. Anyone who volunteers for this project should have an open mind and be willing and able to compromise when necessary. That is the only way that we will accomplish our tasks and be successful in this endeavor.
What value can I bring to the initial planning committee? Let me state this first and foremost: Each and every OTH fan is an important member of our team effort to raise awareness and money for this cause, but for this initial planning committee we will most likely need volunteers with specific skill sets. Until I speak to the representative at the NBCF, I won't know specifically what they can do for us versus what we will need to set up on our own behalf, but my initial thoughts are that we will need volunteers on our planning team with at least one of the following skills/backgrounds:
o Web design/web publishing expertise - Please forward a link to your website when you send your PM or email.o Fundraising experience - at all levels. Perhaps you helped to organize a fundraiser for your high school class or college sorority. Maybe you work for a non-profit organization. If so, we would welcome your expertise on the committee. o Communications or Marketing background. We'll want to get the word out to media outlets at some point…online, print, broadcast…let's think big here. Anyone with experience writing press releases, for example, would be a great asset to the team. Anyone studying marketing or communications or who has experience working in these fields or in the entertainment industry would be a welcome addition to the team. If you don't have these backgrounds but have excellent written communication skills, please consider volunteering for this effort.o Familiarity with MySpace group building and management.o Experience setting up and/or managing online auctions/sales at Ebay If you don’t have any of the skills listed above, but feel that you have expertise in another area that would be valuable to our effort, please contact me with that information. The list above is only a starting point. I encourage everyone who truly has a desire to be a part of this planning committee to volunteer, but when you do, please be prepared to tell me what you will be bringing to the table. And remember that this committee is only phase 1 of our project. The most important part of this effort…getting the word out to your friends, family, schools and community…is the key to our success and that’s where we’ll need EVERYONE’S help.Finally, whether or not you're part of the official planning committee, we are always in need of ideas on how to raise awareness for our cause. I've already received some great ideas from fans, and since we want to raise as much money and garner as much attention as possible, I hope that all of you will contribute any ideas you have as well. No idea is "stupid" or unimportant. While I can't promise that we will use all of the suggestions we receive, I will promise that all will be reviewed and considered equally. You can PM or email me at the addresses below with any idea or question you have related to this project. We know that the fans of One Tree Hill are a talented, passionate and giving community. Now, lets work together for this great cause so that the CW network and the rest of the world knows it too!For those who decide to volunteer, I look forward to receiving your emails or PM’s soon.Thanks,Becky Email: othfanswithbenefit@hotmail.comFanForum PM: cmba310P.S. To all website owners and moderators of OTH related boards…please post this announcement on your site so that everyone is aware of our call for volunteers. Thank you.

And THANK YOU Tammy and Mark's Assistant, Michelle....

As you may have seen on the news thread, The WB and UPN networks are merging, which at this moment leaves the future of our show somewhat in question.We have an organized letter writing campaign in place; however it has been determined we should hold off, for a while, because we don't have all the information we need to make an impact. Changes are still taking place, and this will affect where our letters should go. Once we start the campaign, we need to be UNITED and ORGANIZED in order to be effective. For now, let's take this one day at a time, and be a little patient. I'm being updated on this issue *daily*, thanks to Mark's assistant Michelle. This is her post from the News thread:Dear OTH Fans,I can't tell you how happy I am to see the OTH love coming from all of you guys. (Mark is in Wilmington shooting Ep 316 so I've been giving him updates.) Tammy (chocchipcooky) and I have been in constant contact today. Our hope was to start the letter writing campaign tonight, unfortunately we are waiting on pertinent information that we need in order to get it going. I have been told that The CW Television Network will be headquartered in a neutral location. (Meaning that neither the UPN offices nor The WB offices will be used.) When we start this campaign, we want to make sure that all of the letters are going to the correct address. In the interim...Tammy will have some exciting news for you guys. (I'll let her tell you...)Thank you for your support.One Love...One Tree HillMichelleVOTE FOR OTH IN MSNBC POLL:Link to pollWhich show do you most hope makes it to the new merged CW network?Thanks to Browneyes1980 for the link!And so, the exciting news is.....................MALL TOUR 2006!!Cast members are doing a Mall Tour, and we need to organize street teams in all the mall cities to get huge attendance at these appearances. This is one way we can make an impact on the network. As of today, the dates and cities are considered "subject to change", mostly because of the pending changes in positions at The WB. Here we go:
2/7 - New York2/18 - Atlanta2/25 - Philadelphia2/26 - Boston3/4 - Dallas3/25 - Los Angeles
More info to come soon on the OTH Street Teams!
