Dead Wood?

Is tonight the season finale or is it the series finale for the Crazy Tree?

So here's tonight in a nutshell.
Everyone stays in the Tree. The Real Housewife of Tree Hill reopens Karen's Cafe, and BrookeDavis(TM) without a job, or a company, or anything to do but carry her baby (THAT SHE DESERVES) decides to jump on that bandwagon that's happening at the old Clothes Over Bros, and goes into the restaurant business. (Fashion and food really don't go well... remember Fashion Cafe?) The future of the Rivercourt will be decided. Will it be condo? Or will it be that slab of concrete that Jamie will be dragging his friends to as the touchstone of his adolescents too? Julian's main job? Forget being a director, he's pretty much now the doula and soon to be baby nurse, and has must measure BrookeDavis' (TM) girth as she gets what she deserves (a baaaaaybeeeee, not stretchmare, other's get the stretchmarks but not BrookeDavis(TM)babymaker). And this point doesn't everyone just want Julian once to quote Caddyshack's "You'll get nothing and like it." Feats of Clay and Nathan go out to get new clients, look out Tree Hill little league. Bikini Quinn takes pictures or wears a bikini or gets a spray tan or whatever. Chase chases the dream of the Air Force and Alex is Alex is Alex. And of course there are time jumps. And a new house for House of Baker Davis Baker babies.



One thing that is interesting is how hubby Julian sleeps fully clothed. Guess those days giving a free show for BrookeDavis(TM) are over now that Julian is all married up. Or Austin doesn't want to do scenes in bed partially clothed with his co-star anymore.

There are rumors that they may bring the Tree back for 13 more episode next year.

If there is a Season 9 there should be some rules.

Each time Quinn shows up in a gratuitous bikini scene, Schwahny has to wear a speedo to direct in.

There must be BrookeDavis counter put on the screen keeping track of how many times it's said per show.

Julian gets the good hair this season, BrookeDavis gets the mom hair.

If BrookeDavis(TM) cries again, everyone gets a car.

Julian gets his job, his cool and his pair back.

Any more time jumps and Julian will have to do the Time Warp as Dr. Frank-n-furter.

It's Two Wheel Tuesday
And what better than another video from Austin and the LA River Ride for it.







And who's the one who's flexie like a bendy straw Jake? ; )

Here is the letter that Jake's legal team is sending out to websites that have published the picture.

I can't decide if OTH is a zombie,werewolf,ora vampire, because it just keeps coming back.

Do you think its going to take a cricket bat, silver bullet or a stake to finally take it down next year?

Special K said...

The video of Austin biking is a lot of fun, and shows off how quirky charming he is.

You can 't help but grin at some of the stuff. I can see how he makes Jake breaks into that grin he gets for just for him whenever he is near.

Think the new screencap of him in the tall grass is quickly becoming a fast favorite. There is something kind of primal about it.

And with the thought that tonight might have been the last, I had to put that cap of Julian with the embroidered JG over his heart.

This is from Gawker:

Jake Gyllenhaal Doesn’t Want Fake Shirtless Pictures of Himself on the Internet

Our friends over at Buzzfeed got a letter from Jake Gyllenhaal's lawyer after they published a Photoshopped photo of Jakey's head on someone else's body. In this case it was a photo of a shirtless boy posing like the famous cover of a Grace Jones' album.

Lighten up, Jake. It's not like there's a dearth of shirtless pictures of you on the internet. I mean this can't be any worse for your career than Prince of Persia!

OTH is the best Austin Nichols can do. If it ends so does his career and his fake gf career.

Sue me loser,

The lack of a sense of humor about the whole thing from Jake is just sad. Seems like they could have just said it was fake and ask people nicely if they would take it down, or make it clearer it is fake instead of getting the suits involved.

LOL Tom, love the avatar. Such a bad boy. :-D

destiny said...

Hmm, is it an insult to compare OTH to zombies and vampires (I love vampire and zombie movies)?

So let's go with a pack of werewolves. Okay, now I'm picturing Joe Manganiello (a werewolf on True Blood) wresting with Austin. Hot! Plus when I googled because I couldn't remember his last name, I discovered that he apparently had a stint on OTH, but I think that was before Austin. But still kind of funny.

destiny said...

Hey Tom, maybe this will cheer you up: Matt Bomer at the NYC AIDS walk this weekend talking to a gay news organization about how it's not only safe but also hot to use condoms. He was one of the people who spoke at the opening ceremony.

Hypocrites said...

Wow, you lot sure are bitter and twisted. Hating on Jake for getting his lawyer involved and mouthing off about Austin getting more episodes in OTH. How quickly you all turn on your golden couple when they don't live up to YOUR expectations. Beyond pathetic.

Wrong Turn said...

Did you get lost babbler? Or is it Prophet Girl?

Special K said...

Watched OTH tonight. As a series finale it worked well,tying up the loose ends, even having Dan come back into the story as Nathan kind o settled things with his dad. I think they should have let the series gone out with this episode.

Brooke and Julian end up with twin boys. The scene Austin said he was proud of was the scene of him with the two boys in the nursery.

There was a complete craptastic line he had to say about BrookeDavis to the boys but you get why the scene meant to him sentiment wise.

One things I did notice was that Julian was wearing a silver wedding band. Funny I thought Julian wore a gold one. Wonder if he sneaked in his own ring like he did with the big gold ring last year when he thought the series was over.

Do have to say Austin knows how to handle babies and funny how he held one of the boys just like Jake did with that baby in the hospital in Australia.

Joe Manganiello played Owen on OTH, who ran the bar at Trick. He was after Brooke when Julian first came into town. Owen showed up completely naked in the back of Brooke's car, and tried to woo her with gifts. (And yes he was looking good naked on OTH, but not as good as he does on True Blood.)

Owen left because he relapsed with his sobriety and Chase who is his brother?(not sure) took over for him at Trick.

I keep thinking of OTH like Shaun of the Dead they keep getting up and coming until you finally kill it.

I thought gawker hit the nail on the head. Of all the things to get upset about, that photo was not it. I loved that they posted the actual letter and a bunch of shirtless photos of Jake. The letter is amateurish. Even the attorney could not get excited about the photo. I still saw it on a number of sites regardless.

the real m said...

That river ride video was great. Austin looks great on the bike. I'm guessing he spends a lot of time on a bike riding with Jake.

Queerty did a good job too, speculating as to what in the heck could possibly be defamatory, and pointing out that now that it has become news with the letter from Jake's attorney, they have a legitimate reason for leaving it up.

Austin does look really good in this batch of photos.

Methodical Muser said...

I must admit I don't get all of this hubbub about what is suppose to be a fake photo. There have been 1,000s of fake pics of Jake, all over the Internet for years, including the underwear shot from last September, yet not a peep from his camp. I'm beginning to think there is some backstory to all this. Satire and parody are protected by law. So if the photo is not real, how can he accuse whoever puts it up as defaming his "image"?

Considering he makes his living faking characters, as well as manufacturing a "public" persona, he would have a difficult time winning that lawsuit. Plus he would have to show/demonstrate what damages he has incurred. Never mind that he would have to answer personal questions, under oath that he may not find comfortable. Let's face it, over the years, no one has defamed, diluted and downgraded the Gyllenhaal brand more than Jake and his handlers.

This heavy-handed approach actually just shined an ever bigger spotlight on the topic. Someone mentioned yesterday that they thought Jake was experiencing bad karma, but since I don't believe in hocus pocus, I think this whole episode is just another real world example of what happens when people create a house of cards. Losing your sense of humor is the first step toward becoming a little less human. I never thought I would see the day when Jake resembled Tom Cruise.

good points said...

I agree, Methodical. What's next? Jake becoming a Scientologist! LOL!!!!

the real m said...

When I looked at Gawker yesterday, I did not click on the link to see the whole article. Actually they skewered Jake even more than I realized. The link has every shirtless picture of Jake found on the web. 84 of them to be exact. Including the LAOD photo-shopped one labeled "fake, but who cares". They included the blue bathing trunks one, but not the one that showed his dick in full outline. A little discretion, I guess.

I agree with M&M. I can't for the life of me see what damages he could possibly claim from the photo. It's no better or worse than any other shirtless pic of him.
