And VanSanten's killer bod... Season 8 is my least favorite. It's so unoriginal and stupid, you can see writers were at the end of their rope, and just came up with the most ridiculous ideas and ripped off movies plots, to last as long as the network would allow it. The only thing it did right, was not killing off Clay and Quinn, who are my favorite new characters/couple since last season, which is my third favorite. Great episodes, drama, characters, music and season finale. The Julian/Brooke wedding adventures, were worth the time, for bringing Sharon Lawrence into the fold. And giving us the crazy « hangovers » episode. Other than that, it was just the most annoying OTH couple, fighting, whining and making up. Rinse and repeat. In « Holding out for a Hero », the girls clearly found a new stash of pot brownies, and decided to roam the woods of Tree Hill, playing dress up. And it was funny as heck. The moment they came to the rescue of the bullied kid, was comedy gold, and a little awkward too. But it wasn't as cringeworthy as hearing Janalex auto tuning her weak voice, and Chase and Chuck bonding. The episode closes with another beautiful ballad, which is getting very redundant lately (one mellow track after another, each single scene, is just too much) but I liked the little nod at Smallville, which was about to air its series finale soon after. And how in the season in general, the theme song was covered by a different artist/band each week.
