Near Wild Heaven Season2 Ep3
Wednesday, October 06, 2004 ***Reminder*** Past Reviews are stored in the archives. For more fun visit: http://www.fanforum.com/forums Where all our lovely avis/icons/pics come from.  So, this week's episode is over. I've smoked my cigarette; IM'd D1 and got all my "OMG's" out; rewatched the eppy; and now you get My Side of the Hill. First, kudos to the new writing team James & Chad, you sure knew how to catch my attention, uh, nice towel Nathan! I'd like to just take a minute and restate my strong desire to be on the wardrobe staff. We got our reference to the camisole that Mark hinted to at FanForum. I guess that means I have to officially vow my undying devotion to the mastermind, Asst Mike, and The Fake James. Yeah, you know who you are!
From the start of the eppy, we got humor and fun! I haven't laughed that hard in quite a while. "Did you get married or castrated?" Nice Tim! Yes, he is 'dim' but he made valid points. We all remember the old Nathan and loved him too, Timmy, but the new man can "bring it" just as well (insert wicked eyebrows here). Keith in Dan's office looking so confused was hitting the hammer on the nail. Did any of us really think that he was going to just go in there and know what the hell he was doing? (By the way, nice use of the Lucas WTF face by Keith!!!) I also LOVED cardboard Dan getting a scene. LMAO. That was hilarious. "If we're gonna have a skanky ho in the place at least it should look nice." Yeah, Haley, clean the place because it will make it easier for the cops to dust for fingerprints after I come to fictional Tree Hill and kill above mentioned skanky ho AND Tim's brother (who I can't wait to possibly join the cast). Wise Nathan came out for a bit to reveal that Tim felt threatened because Lucas threw them a party. Two good things were established. 1) Our comic relief that is TIM isn't going to disappear because he is still Nathan's best friend. And, 2) Nathan and Lucas are genuinely getting closer- but they aren't jumping into some deep bond over night. I like that the show came back to the Scott Brothers which is the reason I tuned in to start with.  Oh grasshopper... Brooke's going to be the teacher (tutor girl) in lessons of FUN and SEX. If anyone on the show had to give Haley pointers, I'm sooooo glad it was Brooke! She can plan a get together like nobody's business. She puts the 'art' in party!
Keith and Karen- yeah- sorry everyone, but who really gives a fu-? Bless you writing staff for keeping that short. (I must give Moira and Craig a little credit. They got that whole uncomfortable around each other down to a science. What did you do Mark? Orchestrate for Moira to "accidentally" walk in on Craig getting dressed... because I know that seeing him naked would cause me to be uncomfortable around him too!) I would be amiss if I didn't at least mention Lucas visiting Dan in the hospital. Phoenix effect or not, I'm suspicious of Dan's motives. I hope that he doesn't seriously burn Lucas just to hurt Nathan. I was glad to hear Lucas voice that he was not a substitute for Nathan. Watching nice Dan is a little creepy. I want my evil Dan back! Hopefully in true Phoenix form the new Dan will turn into ash and the old will rise from the flames. Mouth/Fergie/Skills- Yesssss, the gangs all here! Boys being boys, that's what I'm talkin' about! I want a turn at bowling Mouth's squirreling little ass too! "Dude smell me. Dude kiss my ass!" Why is it that I think the writers went back and added those lines after they overheard Mark and Asst Mike have the same conversation? Poor Tim is really not able to accept Nathan being married. Honey, the tampons in the bathroom aren't Nathan's either! Important numbers: police, fire, pimps- uh, you forgot one Hales... Bail Bondsman! Oh, and can I just add that deep down inside Nathan might secretly miss his mom a little bit, but it doesn't mean you have to invite the twins over; if you know what I mean!  Lucas arrives for the party. I was so happy, no ecstatic, with all the brother scenes we got. I was mad that our knuckle punch scene was cut out! WTF, Mark Schwahn? You read our boards, I KNOW YOU DO, and you know we wanted that. GARY! Our Hot and Twisted manager came. Poor lonely guy- even the losers don't know him. LMAO!! Did he just diss Tim? Heh heh. CosmoGirl quiz... uh, Tim might be getting just a little too close to the hetero line. Let's take a moment to join together here and pull that boy back! Lucas' reference to Tim's last time on stripper duty only lends more credit to our closeted little guy with the man crush on Nathan.
Now, we're up to the part of my review I like to call "Parents, Lock Up Your Porn!" I know I should have been at least a little disturbed by Tim snagging his dad and step mom's sextape, but I just couldn't muster it. I literally fell off the couch laughing! Gary: "Dude, your mom's a slut." There was just something so wickedly wrong with that. I loved it. Maybe Gary can give Tim Nathan's old job at Hot and Twisted! "What is wrong with the youth of America today?" There was just too much funny Tim with these cops to quote it all, but I will say that the line, "I can see your thong strap, Foxy Brown," was pure genius. I try not to condone teen sex, but if someone doesn't bone that boy, he's gonna hurt himself. Do we really think a holding cell full of possible criminals is a safe place for him at a time like this? LOL  The only thing I am going to say about the lingerie fashion show is that, again, I need to be on the wardrobe staff! Haley's nightie or whatever wasn't cute and the pig tails did NOT work. She just got married, not invited to her first sleep over a la "Valley Girl." Oh, I will add that I did like the red one. (Email me Mr. Schwahn and I'll let you know where you can FedEx that one.)
Geezus, this review is turning into a mini novel! The bridal shower bus "broke down" so ugly stripper dude could come to the rescue; Deb and Karen touched base with a new menu item- Dr. Whiskey; and the girls went for a pole dancing lesson. Note to casting staff: What friggin' cest pool did you pull these strippers from? I'll let it slide because in reality, faces are overlooked in that profession- but for future reference, skim the pool with a net before you go reaching in it for extras. (Disclaimer or my college roommate will kill me: I was being slightly sarcastic with the whole ugly face stripper rule; however, I do reserve the right to amend that statement to include prostitutes, call girls, and most ladies of the evening! *Man, I have a few friends in Vegas who are sooo going to kick my ass!*) More Nathan/Lucas love. It's nice to believe that Dan may not come between them again, but if not Dan, then what will? It's too early to just close the chapter on the main theme of the show. I've nearly gone all this way without mentioning Brooke's money troubles. Is Daddy possibly cutting her off or having money troubles of his own? There is great potential for this story line. It will be good to see Brooke's character develop more. Sophia is a great actress and I can't wait for more. JUST PROMISE ME THAT IT WILL NOT BE a page from the Mischa Barton school of hard knocks! I really liked that we got some good ol' fashioned girl time! Haley saying that it (I assume life) was all about looking for the one you want to be with kind of irked me. I'm with Brooke 'cuz I thought the right answer was having fun. I guess I missed the issue of CosmoGirl with that quiz in it. ...And, no, having fun is NOT sitting on the couch playing video games with a manly hermaphrodite in a black dress with her legs spread open! Damn girl, kids watch this show, hide your package. *shudders* LMAO! Moving on. Yes, Lucas, Keith is still at work because he is still listening to his audio cassette on "Running a car dealership for dummies." (Poor Craig, I really need to quit judging him based on his performance in the B movie, "That Was Then... This Is Now." Yeah, yeah, I'm working on it!) Back to Nathan trapped in his apartment with the stripper. I believe that if it were possible to hug a window, Nathan was. He didn't even want to look back. I wonder if the same two words ran thru his mind as did mine, Sodom and Gomorrah. LOL At this point, our fearless creator decides it is a good place for a commercial break. I decided it was a good place to scream, "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" I ran to IM D1, who coincidentally was thinking the same thing because we hit enter at the same time and her IM was exactly like mine... "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" ROTFLMAO!!! Ok, so the show comes back on. Nathan takes off his shirt, my pulse quickens, "I want you," and- yep, I fainted! *thud*. Luckily, I taped the show so I can rewind and repeat as needed! "I had a heart attack, Deb, not a lobotomy." Dan's belief that Nathan and Haley's marriage will self destruct is a bit premature. (Noteworthy reference: newlywed sex and minimum wage job.) He doesn't know yet that Nathan will be working at DSM. Lucas is going to be at Karen's Cafe more while she takes classes at the college. (Side note for my Cafe posting buddies at FanForum... Puh-leeze! We got rid of Deb. We got rid of Karen. You don't scare us, Lucas. We're hiding the keys to the storage room. We've taken on new management before... BRING IT!) NOTEWORTHY MUSIC: Jimmy Eat World and KORN were featured in this episode...and D1 Loves her UK tunes... "Fit But You Know It" by The Streets PREVIEW: The Power Ranger Rides! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* 
Hey guys: Another fanfreakingtastic episode!!! So let's start... Yay for continuity & having the Wedding Wall put up in their place. Nathan wearing only a towel, yum... okay back to the review. LOL N: "He's like a dog with a bone, Hales" H: "Great, let's get him neutered." LMAO!! Ahhh gotta love Timmy, always good for comedic effect. P: "Yes, but its so much more fun when you haven't seen it before." Uh, some of us haven't, move over girl friend, you're blocking MY view! B: "Okay, Sunny Hill Lodge?" H: "It's Kitschy!" P: "So is this thing." LMAO!! (Yeah you will see this expression a lot in this review) Finally, someone there acknowledges our question: WTF was THAT?! LOL. The girls definitely need to hang out more often! Dan: "I want to apologize to you. And to your mother." See, I knew I should've listened to my mother and cleaned my ears. Did he really say that? [cue Twightlight Zone theme, turururu turururu]. T: "Jeez, did you get married or castrated?" MARRIED! (Quick, someone go protect the family jewels just in case, STAT!). T: "That ring doesn't erase your past Nate. Some of us still remember who you used to be." May not change his past, but it does change his future. And keyword there is "used" to be. Wow, Nathan's come a long way. ROTFLMAO @ Keith and the #1 Cardboard Dan!!! Ok Craig, you rocked there! Bonus points for the blegh! facial expression, lol. Keith: "Who knows, maybe they'll keep him medicated" LMAO!! H: "Yeah, what's next? Lap dances for world peace?" Hey there, ever gotten one by a male stripper Hales? I say anything for world peace! LOL. B: "Tomorrow night I'm the tutor girl" Sluttyville 101; no dropping the class accepted. Hehehe, learning IS fun! Keith getting his caffeine fix from the competition: What's with the imperialism huh? I thought he was all for the little people. Dan leading Lucas to the memory box: very subtle. See, there really was a heart there. Further proof he had one to have a heart attack on. The 3 Stooges & Lucas, acting like young guys, too funny. The geek is always the target; rolling him towards the trash cans like bowling, LOL. Fergie: "Strike!" H: "Ohhh, I SO got next" LOL. Dan wanting to go home, I was thinking, you better say 'yes' Banshee! T: "Dude, smell me" N: "Dude, kiss my ass" LOL, Tim rubbing off Haley's perfume! Ahhh Brett, I love ya! H: "All the important numbers are by the phone; Police, Fire, PIMPS" Oh, so Lucas' # IS on speed dial! Nice long pop kiss there Hales! (*sigh* ok I'm jealous, can I have her job?) T: "Stripper Time! Oh, it's just you" L: "Not the thrill it used to be huh?" LOL, even Lucas is funny! High five to the writers. H: "Ok uh, I left some ones on the counter, in case you don't have any change. Don't spend them all in one... place." LMAO! L: "What's wrong with Dim?" N: "Oh don't take it personally. He thought you were the stripper." L: "Hey! We prefer to be called exotic dancers." LOL. L: "What the hell are you reading?" T: "Cosmo Girl?" LMAO!!! N: "Tim, you realize you're supposed to be answering as a girl." T: "I know. And I'd want a boyfriend who isn't afraid to go up my shirt." L: "And hopefully someday you'll find him." LMAO!!! Hey, all these Tim's gay jokes; remember Deputy Doug in DC? That ended up being true... ok let's not go there, lol. N: "Tim is that your mom?" T: "Stepmom" Gary: "Dude, your mom's a slut!" T: "Stepmom" And they didn't high five his pervy little hand, lol. The guys DEFINITELY need to hang out together more!!! The lingerie show: yeah I can so tell this ep was written by guys, LOL. I'm glad to see the cheerleaders didn't disappear. I'm all for continuity. Karen & Keith are so awkward now, it's sad. Keith: "Sometimes it's just better to move on." Very true; and she said there was nothing there with Larry Sawyer. Hmm, could've fooled me. Haley and the schoolgirl look: LOL, but WTH is that as raunchy as she gets? Dude, trade with Bevin! H: "Guys, there's no way I can pull this off" B: "No, I'd leave that up to Nathan" LMAO!! "Trudy Gill" Ahhh Brookie, you are so loveable. Kirby's guy, Greg=stripper had a good entrance. H: "Great, can you fix it?" Greg: "Sure, I got a tool than can fix anything." LOL, yeah buddy, I bet. Haley's look of shock was great! But you'd think she was used to the pull away pants from Nathan's lil' strip at the BT auction. B: "Nice performance Cameron Diaz." P: "You too Gwyneth." lol. T: "Ow, you're hurting me! Does that cost extra?" LMAO!!! In the moon roof, Bevin & Theresa sure have bonded w/ Haley. Hehehe, Haley was so cute being prudish and pulling her top up. (or was that just Joie slipping out?) T: "I can see your thong strap Foxy Brown. [yowls]." L: "Nevermind" N: "Yeah take him" LOL. T: "I've never been so horny!" LMAO!!!! OMG, Brett was fantastic this eppy! Mouth: "Girls Gone Wild!" N: "Haley?" LOL, so THAT'S what a Nathan WTF face looks like! Haley was so cute & funny singing along. That girl needs alcohol more often, lol. Karen: "Let me grab some coffee" Deb: "Dan says he wants to come home" Karen: "Let me grab some liquor" HAHAHA Good one! To her who's taking care of you Q to Deb: "Whoever's name is on that bottle." LOL. I hate Deb, but that was funny. Add Johnny, Jack and Jose to her list of favorite men. H: "If I wanted a lap dance I would've stayed home" lol, sure but did she mean from Shimone or Nathan? H: "Show me the pole! [THUD]" LMAO!!! Was that a stunt double or Joie? Whoever it was: OUCH! Hehehe. "Taking the training wheels off the whole brother thing" Awww. N: "That's part of the reason I hated you all those years" He knew about the pics! No wonder he had such animosity towards Lucas. Nice plot twist. N: "Well, looks like we got Timmed again" LOL. N: "He's come between us before. Let's just not let it happen again." I like that he respects Lucas' need to see things w/ Dan for himself. N: "No, I- think I'm good." Shimone: "Or at least you're trying to be" Grrr, step away Shim! RE: the $1,000 bill: B: "Don't be silly. A girl can do anything she puts her mouth to" "You guys totally have the whole Nick & Jessica thing going on. Just without Stalkerazzi and Chicken-y Tuna" LMAO!!! Brooke is getting some of the best lines. H: "I guess I can't really help it if I found the guy I wanna be with my first time out" you are lucky honey, some of us are still waiting. "If we're not out there looking for the one we want to be with forever then what are we doing?" Loaded question. B: "Having fun" that was my answer too! LOL. H: "Oh love is fun. This kind of love is anyway" *sigh* I want that, but until that comes then fun it is! N: "Haley, she's great. Well, she's the one for me" Do I hear a collective sigh? I just love him, we need to clone him. Shimone: "Even if one's all you get?" Again, a loaded Q. And I've pondered this issue: If love is real, then one is all you need. Why people cheat is still a big mystery to me. Shimone and her lower ASSets hanging out, ewww. And let's see, Haley has a waaay bigger rack than Shim, why downgrade there? N: "I want you" SEE!!! I knew he said it to Haley. HA! And it was dark but I think I spotted my beloved sidekick there. Yay for continuity, LOL. He had to kick Shim out, Hehehe. And this night re-affirmed for them both that they only want each other, awww. N: "Hey where are you going?" H: "You know how I said tonight was educational? Honey, you're gonna love the homework." Way to go Hales!!! Nathan's "uh" face was hilarious. Taking tips from Chia now are we? Brooke & Peyton's talk about Haley being right about it all being for love; they are right it is scary, but nothing ventured nothing gained right? P: "What if you wake up one day and realize that you're the disappointment?" Deep and scary thought, especially for us people pleasers. Deb talking to Dan about trying to legally invalidate NH marriage. Get over it bitch! Why don't you concentrate on being there for your son instead of further trying to ruin his life and sabotaging his marriage! Grrr. Dan: "I had a heart attack Deb, not a lobotomy" LOL, now there's the Dan we all hate and love. I like how the writers gave all the characters a great line each. This was Dan's. He's counting on the marriage self-destructing cause of money problems. HE's the one who's gonna blow a fuse when he hears Nathan is being paid w/ a DSM paycheck, LOL. Isn't it ironic? Don't you think? Lucas working at the cafe to help out Karen, very sweet; keep it up Lucas and you just might bet on my good graces permanently. Now, Nathan in his DSM monkey suit? HOT! Can we get him to wear a sack of potatoes? I wanna check my theory that he'd look good even in that! LOL H: "Hey do me a favor. Don't change when you come home from work okay? I'm kind of into the whole mechanic thing" N: "No problem Ma'am" LMAO!!! Brooke has created a monster. Sweet! Brooke being left cashless; do I smell parental anger here? Seems Daddy cut her off, now the question is: Why? Dan: "I know I can't change our past Lucas. But I'm hoping I can change our future." I loved that final scene. Very poignant. A part of me wants Dan to change for the better, but a bigger part of me wants him to remain his assy, entertaining self. Oh and Dan looked hot! Scruffy look works for him. Sooo, the new Mrs. Scott just gave birth; to twins! Haley's assets were on display a lot! LOL Preview: Lucas driving Dan; father & son bonding? Nice car! Um, I'm hating power ranger guy so far. Adrenaline junkie or not, he's an idiot! I can see Nathan and Lucas hating him and the girls (minus Brooke) being amused by him. Can't wait!! @9:56 AM -- ravens23 [1 Followed the Rambling] |
