Why Do All Our Conversations Come Back To Paedophilia?
When I was in Manchester with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sazzlette and wanttobeatree, they forced me at what I'm going to say was gunpoint to watch One Tree Hill. This is an American drama about high school students and how basketball TEARS FAMILIES APART and IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER and also about the evils of drugs and alcohol and partying and tattoos and infidelity and, gasp, safe sex. There is an average of one car crash every four episodes. It is ridiculous. It is also terribly, terribly addictive.
So far, I have seen thirteen episodes, up to 'Hanging by a Moment'. Here are some thoughts:
- Lucas is adorable. Adorable! (I still find Chad Michael Murray hilarious for no good reason.)
- I would be up for some Nathan/Lucas. It doesn't really feel like incest - they weren't raised together, after all - and so there's room for all the fun 'augh this is so wrong' feelings on the parts of the characters without violating my usual 'I CANNOT DESTROY THIS SIBLING RELATIONSHIP WITH INCEST' block. This is not helped by the fact that Lucas, in an episode in which he was kissing someone he really should not have been kissing, said, 'You know, that this is wrong... somehow it makes it feel deeper.' LUCAS IS DRAWN TOWARDS WRONGNESS, GUYS. LUCAS/NATHAN. YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE.
-wanttobeatree, sazzlette and I had a brief discussion about Lucas the sparkly vampire, who angsts about no longer being able to play basketball because oh no he is too strong. I would not be surprised were this an actual episode. (This is a lie.)
- I would rather like to see a Supernatural episode in which they investigate a haunted high school and meet the One Tree Hill cast, playing thinly-disguised versions of their One Tree Hill characters. They could be called things like 'Leyton' and 'Snucas'.
- I am pretty massively 'shipping Lucas/Peyton.wanttobeatree is horrified.
- I suspect that Keith has a really embarrassing tattoo, hence his anger when Lucas gets a tattoo himself. 'I DID NOT WANT YOU TO RUIN YOUR LIFE AS I HAVE RUINED MINE.' Perhaps he has Lucas' face tattooed on his arse.
- I had to leave for the train home after the end of 'Hanging by a Moment' and so do not yet know the outcome of the car crash.wanttobeatree asked me what I thought of the cliffhanger.
'I'll be surprised if they've killed Lucas,' I said. 'Unless he's a ghost for the next six seasons.'
Imagine. The Winchesters could investigate! The other characters of One Tree Hill would have to protect ghost!Lucas from them! It would be excellent!
wanttobeatree suggests that perhaps the reveal will come at the end of the current season. 'YOU'VE BEEN A GHOST ALL THESE YEARS.'

(I think that he gets pregnant accidentally, then has to turn to prostitution in order to support the child because 'woes, the father wants nothing to do with him!')
