I was just thinking about this the other day. I had just finished watching the episode "The Wind That Blew My Heart Away" on soapnet... and as soon as it went off, I thought to myself "is this seriously the same show as the OTH that we see now?"

the show used to leave you feeling impacted some how every time it went off, like you had learned something or were touched in some way by each episode (that's how I felt atleast). It was deep, real, emotional, and relatable for the viewers. It talked about subjects and storylines that hit close to home with the people watching. But now (as I've said before), it just seems to revolve around endless UNfunny jokes, repetitive/unnecessary storylines, a weird obsession with EVERYONE being involved in a relationship, and secondary characters that serve no purpose to the show.

The show has lost all of it's magic, heart, and meaning. to me anyway. Now, we're lucky if we get one or two powerful episodes per season... as opposed to how it used to be, when just about EVERY episode had some kind of meaning, purpose, and powerful message to it. Sadly whenever an episode goes off these days, I find myself feeling like I just wasted an hour of my time on a show that has no substance to it anymore whatsoever. Ok, END RANT lol

I find it laughable that those who chose No, we've had powerful episodes lately didn't bother leaving a comment.

Oh c'mon you guys! You're complaining OTH's repeating everything (like the drug sl or a mom with cancer) but isn't that what makes this show ESPECIALLY so close to the real world, to our world? That, once you struggle, you have to find your way back with the ones that you love and that you cannot do something like that in just ONE single episode?! That you need someone by your side who makes you feel better or/and who feels the exact same way like you do?! Yes, OF COURSE, the whole school shooting episode was AMAZING and powerful, but what are you gonna do? It's over and they can impossibly pick up that sl again, righ? ( =

I think this wonderful show hasn't lost a spark of its magic...to me it's neither better nor worse than the previous seasons...it's not even different. It seems to me most people define "different" by the actors that left the show (Leyton) and by comparing EVERYTHING with the seasons they loved (no Leyton xD). Okay, it doesn't mean everyone has to LOVE the new direction this show has taken...but for me it's not just about the moments that I watch on TV. It's about how an episode leaves me...that I'm having tears in my eyes EVERY single time I'm watching it, that I'm feeling the same things those characters do...
So why not approach a subject, that IS so close to home (like the cancer sl), twice? Imo they can turn a HUNDRED of these episodes with the exact same sl as long as it touches me, as long as the acting captivates me and as long as I feel like I'm a part of that sl!!!
Aw, okay...I'm done xD

Yes. But they can write an equally or more amazing episode. For me, they haven't done that since s3. I miss the times where there used to be amazing moments + good music to back it up.


So you see, it's not really about "LP leaving" or "repeated SL". They could repeat SL for all I care, as long as they own it. Episodes cannot be all "powerful and climactic" (but those mentioned episodes are), there has to be an exposition. I just haven't seen an episode which blew me away because of the spectacular writing since s3, episodes which you WILL watch even after years because it is that good. They all feel flat to me, full of build up but no climax, hence the pick. If you think we've had episodes such as those, I'd like to know since I have to (re-)watch it.

Well...at the beginning of s7 I DID think the writing was pretty crappy and pointless. Since then I just wanted to watch an episode after which I could think to myself again: "Wow. EPIC." And maybe this show's not as great as always for many people, but it still touches and captivates me...and I think it's heading in the right direction (for the purpose of the epic part ^^). The music's still AMAZING, maybe a little exaggerated 'cause there are barely any moments left WITHOUT music, but I still love it ( : I just think it's kinda sad how everyone's just complaining and criticizing this (for some: ONCE) great show...instead of actually enjoying the moments they're watching and not just sitting in front of the TV and analyzing every second of an episode like "Woooa...now THAT was unnecessary and stupid!" That'd be waaay too stressful to me xD
Well...maybe there aren't any epic episodes/moments since s3 in your opinion. I can only give some examples for amazing moments that I (how are you italicizing letters? So many ppl here know how to do that...just not me xD) loved...like...4x09 when they won the state championship. Or when Nathan was on that press conference and telling Haley that everything was gonna be okay and that she loved her (after he had learned that she was pregnant). --> Or even the last episode (7x16) when Lydia told her daughters she's going to die. Isn't that "close to home" enough for you? ( : What could be more realistic and heart-breaking than a disease thousands of ppl die of EVERY year?!

I think OTH should end this year. Even though I haven't seen any episode after 7.11, it lost its spark (like some of you said above). Everything has its time and the show has to end somehow and sometime; if it ended this year, it would always be remembered as a great teen show, with good and with GREAT episodes in its previous seasons.

Just my two cents :)

... Like 7x07 for example.

It's not the same OTH, but i don't find it as mediocre as season 5 and 6. Or even 4 (at least after episode 13, apart from a few scenes those episodes were bad).

unless they start stepping up a gear and making it more like seasons 1-6 they should just quit after season 7. shame on you Mark Schwahn!

i'd say 7x07 and last night's episode were pretty powerful.
and last season- 6x03 with Q's funeral was really intense, and 6x17 with leyton's story line about finding out how risky peyton's pregnancy was (i may not be a leyton fan, but i can appreciate how well and how intensely powerful their story line was portrayed in that one episode)...

i don't think OTH has lost it's flare for the dramatic... i think it's lost the ability to be interesting without the drama (for example: look at naley... people loved them in the earlier seasons even when season 2 was their only real dramatic season. but in the later seasons people seem to only love them after they were torn apart by carrie or a sex scandal.) i think OTH always had lots of drama- but even when there were story lines that weren't that dramatic, people loved watching because the relationships (between lovers, friends, siblings...) on the show as well as the characters themselves were amazing.

I hate repeats. The SL repeat theirselfs & Brulian in my opinion is a photocopy of Leyton & Brucas. I see it this way, I already saw one of the CORE 5 losing her mum & I don't need to see it again. I prefer watching S3 to infinity rather than watching S7 and S8. I'm surpised I am writing this, but I prefer watching the original BRUCAS moments rather that the recycled Brulian. I think the stalker storylines are fantastic. Psycho Derek was great, Nanny Carrie was fine but continue to repeat the same ideas is stupid IMO. Been there, done that.
And as an LP fan, I prefer watching their 'You don't know me. I think I do' moment or jumping on the bed rather than Brulian. Hope I made myself clear :)
That's how I feel.
