One Tree Hill: Some Roads Lead Nowhere

I have to be honest, I'm considering giving up this show. The insanity level hasn't been to its previous heights and its becoming more conventional WB boring than interesting. We'll see. Anyway back to the fun.

-Oooh, super serious opening with Clay sitting by the pool no doubt wondering how he got here (here's a hint - you suck as an agent), with then a cut to a montage of all the hurting people on the show, climaxing with Julian finding Alex having slashed her wrists in her bathtub. They then try to equate this with Skillz having to move to LA away from her girlfriend, and Millie realizing she's been a douche. I think Alex wins the my life sucks department.
- I'm watching Cal's basketball team get annihilated by Washington while doing this so if any random bursts of profanity appear you know why.
-How much do you want to bet that Brooke blames Julian for ignoring Alex, even after she spent the last several episodes saying that Alex was a lying manipulator.
-Nathan is still going to spain. Apparently every NBA team is still 'capped out.'
-Skillz elementary school teacher girlfriend gets mad that he didn't ask her to go with him to LA. He then asks her and she says no, but it would have been nice to be asked.
-Alex (while drugged out in a hospital bed): You Came
Julian: Of course I came
Alex: That's what she said

Is that clever? Or completely inappropriate? I'm unsure. Also Julian tells her they got financing for the movie. So your potential star attempts suicide and all of a sudden the project is fast tracked? Actually that makes sense.

-Really down 21 points with 16 minutes left? That's how we roll Cal? In a weak Pac-10 year you roll over like this.
-Clay goes to a hospital to try and snake an NBA player (kings Center) whose mom just got diagnosed with cancer from his old firm. The show tries to play this as a compassionate move on his part.

-Mouth: I remember looking at that mirror and telling you how beautiful and special you are. How can you not see it?
Millie: Marvin, when I look at that mirror all I want to do is cut a line on it and snort it. That's what I see.

Ooooh, dark. I love that Millie has become Keith Richards in approximately a week of doing blow. Lightweight.

-Oh its compassionate because Clay is going to figure a way to have the bobcats trade their recently signed point guard for the Kings Center, conveniently opening up a way for them to resign nathan. I guess this means we won't get One Tree Hill Barcelona edition, too bad. Oh the way he gets in to meet the bobcats GM is to have Quinn try out for a cheerleader position (which the GM is of course judging - another reason to be a GM), and she performs like a retarded stripper (set to Momma going to knock you out). I think this was intentional?
-Washington is going to drop a 100 on Cal, of course they are.
-Dan says on his TV show that he's sorry and is going to give away all his money. Classy.
-Millie goes to rehab, hopefully for good.
-down 29 points, 8 minutes left. Looks like another third place league finish. Now switching to the AZ-NO game
-Clay has his Jerry McGuire moment in Nathan's living room. Everything is right in the NBA universe.
-Skills and his girlfriend go all sad and weepy because he's leaving for LA. Another relationship where the participants don't understand trans-continental travel.
-Millie busts out of rehab. Tremendous.
-Clay and Quinn decide to be together - I guess her rational husband she ran out on is out of the picture

And we're done. Still not sure how long I'm going to stick this out, especially since the sports stuff looks to be going on the back burner.
