TV Hot Spot: One Tree Hill

One Tree Hill 4x12: Resolve

Review by: Sal & Shai

Sal: Hey guys. Me and Shai here again for another amazing review of this excellent series! "One Tree Hill" has had it rough over the past two weeks, with the premiere of "American Idol" the ratings have not done this series justice. Rumors have been going around that The CW network is going to renew the series for a 5th season, if these rumors are true then I am so excited (lol). I have heard ideas about the upcoming season but I will not spoil it for any of you mainly because they might not be true (lol). Ok so before we get down with the review, I guess Shai could start with the ratings and then we are off!

Shai: A 5th season!? WOHOO! Sorry that was a bit random (lol). Ok yes, hello everyone! I don't think I should introduce myself anymore seeing as most of you already know me. And if not, you should. And yet again I am stuck with the ratings for the episode. Ok so, with "American Idol" still in the way, the series managed to pull in only 2.3 Million Viewers. Up by around 100,000 viewers from last week, the series has still become affected by that damn show. Which I don't really see why people watch it. I guess we will never know the secret. Oh and the next episode of "One Tree Hill" is going to air on the 7th of February. That is a good idea (I think) because the series is going to miss a week of bad ratings. How long is "American Idol" on for anyway?

Sal: I am not sure. But I hope thats soon. Ok so for the episode review. Brooke! My favourite character in the whole series. I love her and always will. In this episode we see her still playing on the idea that she has converted into a "Clean Teen". Now I remember while listening to one of the "One Tree Hill" podcasts that Marc was going to introduce the Clean Teens back into the series. And that is exactly what he did. So I like how they fit together so well and that it came in the exact time of this plan to steal the test papers. I just hope that word doesn't get out and she gets caught. I dont want Rachel to get caught either!

Shai: I am happy that Brooke found a new guy. I was tired of seeing her being alone. But, just to add some more "One Tree Hill" drama into the mix. The guy she is now dating is also a Clean Teen. Wonder how Brooke will work around that little situation. And I could actually see them both together. It is a new addition to the cast, and I hope that this one sticks. Brooke has been through alot, and I also hope she doesn't get caught with the test. Something is going to happen, I can feel it. I just dont want it to happen! (lol)

Sal: And imagine what Rachel feels. At first she didn't care about stealing the test but I guess now its getting to her and she is starting to feel a bit more worried. Something hilarious that happened in the episode was when she was caught not being a Clean Teen after all. Taking her top off at a party. It was so funny and I think Shai felt the same way about it. She didn't care though, and got kicked out of the Clean Teens group. I like Rachel's character, and I hope she doesn't get into any trouble as well...

Shai: Oh Rachel! She was soooo funny in this episode. I laughed so hard when I saw it happen. It is typical Rachel though. And the fact that she found out her Clean Teen t-shirt grabs guys attention is so her! I really like her character as well. But something I found funnier. Was the stripping! Done by our Nathan, Kevin and Mouth of "One Tree Hill". I love Nathan! And watching that I felt as if I were one of the girls there. (I wish!) He was so sweet for doing what he did. All of that just to buy his wife a dress she could actually fit in for her prom!

Sal: I loved what Haley was going through in this episode. I have seen it in so many series and am glad I saw it in this one. Haley trying to fit in her normal clothes but nothing is budging. And Bethany is doing a great job at playing the role of Haley especially while her character is pregnant. The emotions that she is going through is so believable and so beautiful. I hope that everything turns out ok for these two. And I hope that she will be able to dance on her prom with her perfect husband.

Shai: Now we move on to...Lucas and Peyton. Oh how much I dislike these two as a couple. I dont know why that is, its just that they get on my nerves and I feel that the writers are pushing their relationship on our face too much that it appears to be fake. But that is my opinion of course. I can picture the two together but the fact that they are THAT much in love...I dont buy it. I dont think the writers have given us much interaction between these two to actually prove their love for eachother. Yes in the past these two have had their bit of chemistry...I dont know really...

Sal: Ok. I will have to agree with you that this relationship is a bit akward for me. I mean I saw it coming but the lovey dovey stuff that is going on between them is sort of making it feel fake, like you said Shai. But I guess the writers have more planned for them both. But something the writers are revealing to us now is Lucas thinking about the murder, and about Keith. I said this before and will say it again, how does Lucas know Jimmy didn't kill Keith. I know it was just a hunch, but I am sure he will find out. How can he be in a coma and all of a sudden know something...which happened at a place where he wasn't even present. Well not inside the building anyway. I dont know how the writers are going to work around this little issue...

Shai: I think so too..Its weird to be honest. And Lucas confronts his mother, Karen and tells her about Keith. And Karen goes and tells Dan about what Lucas thinks. I dont know whats going to happen with Lucas. I am afraid that Dan will think Lucas knows and try to do something stupid. We have seen it happen in the past. The writers have yet to give us a hint on WHO knows about what Dan really did. I think its about time the writers started back on this concept and I hope someone comes out and says something for once. I have a feeling this is going to be the concept of the next few episodes and probably even the season finale!

Sal: Final word from me. About Deb. I am seriously tired of seeing her character suffer like this. Its been going on for the whole season and I think the writers should do something about it. She obviously took an over-dose and lost Dan and her son. But I dont know whats going to happen with her. I guess she is going to go back to Rehab. (Again).

Shai: Well thats all from us I think. Thank you all for reading, you can all give your comments here at the site, and feel free to do so. Thank you Sal for giving me the chance to host with you again, it was fun! And I guess we have to wait until the 7th of February to hear back from this series again!

Take Care everyone! xox
