I just watched the latest episode of One Tree Hill and I was blown away. I’ve always been a massive fan of these soppy post teen television series. I must admit, there was one specific scene, which had some of the most amazing dialog I have ever heard!
Suddenly, it was if the roar of the crowd, the echo of the final buzzer, the cheers of my team mates where all sounding from a thousands miles away. And what remained in that bizzare, muffled silence, was only Payton. the girls whose art and passion and beauty had changed my life. In that moment, my triumph was not a state championship, but simple clarity, the realisation that we had always been there for each other and every instinct of the contrary had simply been a denial of the following truth. I was now and would always be, in love with Payton Sawyer.
The dialog opened something inside me. I know it sounds silly and perhaps lame, but this is my blog and I’m entitled to write about what I choose :P
I don’t really know how I ended up here. But dialogue like that is SO common on one tree hill which in my opinion, is the best part of the show. It is so far removed from reality, yet it presents itself as reality based. If it was on at 2 or 3 in the afternoon, it would fit perfectly with traditional soaps. I’m not sure if One Tree Hill is aware of that and chooses to continue it’s predictable unpredictable and outright goofy at times storylines, or if the writers are just that oblvious. Either way, I love it for it’s complete wackiness and I too enjoy dialogue like the one you noted, but if you listen closely–there is dialogue like that constantly. Haha.
I’m very sorry that this was itself a novel.
Jessica – Yes, it’s common, but this one I found really great! Hehe, I do know what you are saying, but I’m still a massive fan :)
