after season 5 the writers just completely took the life off her and she's become a completely different character to me. i get that during s6 she was going through a really hard time but at the same time i just felt like she wasn't showing her emotions properly, even if they were painful. and now during s7 i mean WHAT HAPPENED TO HER???? she just never shows joy or excitement about anything and spends the entire time complaining about julian for the most stupid reasons

i mean happiest she's ever been?

...okay.

and i know brucas also had a lot of pain and angst but even then they just show so much emotion...

why are they acting like julian is an asshole when he literally did NOTHING wrong ????????? he just wanted to make a movie goddamnit!

also i love brooke's storyline with sam it's super cute and all but why does this show doesn't ackowledge the age of its own characters? i mean if they wanted to portray people in their late 20s / early 30s they should've just DONE THAT instead of telling me that a TWENTY TWO YEAR OLD has a parental relationship with a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD??????? sam literally just called her 'mom' this is PATHETIC

it was already ridiculous that nathan and haley got married in high school but this is just too much they keep acting like they're a bunch of old people ???????? for example gigi came back and she's still in college and they're all talking like it's been centuries since they've been in college SHE IS LITERALLY TWO YEARS YOUNGER THAN THEM

hmm i also hate it when they have these super dark storylines and forget that this was supposed to be a teen soap lol really it just pisses me off they try to adress a lot of very serious issues just for shock value and i find it very disrespectful (never forgiving them for quentin fields). and not just that but i honestly think the show is way better when it has lighter stories, when they try to get serious and dramatic it gets SO LAME LOL

this is like the second time brooke has to fight a crazy man i'm just done

jamie lucas scott remains as the highlight of this show he didn't appear for two episodes and i almost fell asleep like i can't watch this without him anymore

and no news here when i say that leyton still sucks i hate everything about them and can sincerely not understand how could ANYONE fangirl over their boring moments

just so we can end this: i'm supposed to believe that BOTH mia AND sam are heterosexual??????? fuck off

People love to villainize Nate, but he did all of him shit before he met her. Granted, that's unrealistic, given he was 16. But, even after she took off with Chris, he didn't kiss Taylor or anyone else. He flirted some with Peyton, yes. But, Peyton is his default to hit on, because they both know they wouldn't actually go there again.

Even throughout the seasons, Nathan never cheats. Carrie straight up assaults him, but it gets glossed over, because she's a woman.

I'm not saying crucify Haley over one kiss, when she was 17, but there was no much accountability for it, either. Let's be honest. Nate never really cared about the kiss. He cared she abandoned him.

I need to learn to skip season 2, when it gets to that point, because I stop liking her for a while. Season 3 isn't as bad, because they are trying to fix it, and he's being a dick and she's trying to show him she's not going anywhere.
