Strong Start, Muddled Middle, Great Ending

Again Austin gained ground on One Tree Hill. Starting off working his devilish ways on Brooke to no avail, messing up a little in the middle , and redeeming himself with showing the true guy Julian is, or we think he is, and it sounds like showing the real Julian is the way to Brooke's heart, or at least in the upcoming episode in her bedroom.



But the wait is two weeks to find out. The CW knows how to play it, saving a shirtless Austin (cause you know if they didn't write it in, he reminded them ) for February Sweeps. The upcoming episode was filmed back in December before the break for the holidays, with Bethany Joy Galeotti (Haley) directing. Oh you know he's gonna lose the shirt.

And it looks like Austin is back in NC filming again, so we know there are more episodes coming. Now with only 9 episodes left for the rest of the season, and Austin in 8 of his 10, but still filming in NC and gaining fans every week, you think they've stretched Julian's story line out more? It looks like it. And they'd be stupid not too. And Sophia would be stupid not to want him to say - because the more Julian the more Julian and Brooke on screen. Besides she looks like she is having fun again.

So is wearing his letterman's jacket and wearing his cycling jacket mean the same thing?


One quick notice about Brooke and Julian . Some people use Brulian , others JB - that works too,(and its a bourbon like Wild Turkey), but BJ now that's just asking for trouble or the ones in the cycling gear. And don't think it isn't on the call sheet as BJ scenes - oh you know it is, because they would, or at least Austin is calling his scenes with Sophia that just to be bad.


The reviews are starting to come in for The Informers and well..... that it just needs to be seen and you make up your own mind about it. Come on - you know you're still gonna want to see it even if it is getting less than stellar reports - cause - of the soundtrack, and Billy Bob - right?


Despite the muddled middle it looks like Austin will end up strong with Prayers for Bobby, which just getting more and more praise, and mentions for an Emmy in the fall. Will finally get to see Austin all decked out in a tux this fall with the rest of the cast? Fingers crossed.



Awards are nice, but Prayers seems to want to aim higher, and think it really will reach what it is going for. It wants to change lives, change minds, and change hearts.

And you'd be surprised where it is being mentioned. This is from a blogger who writes about sexuality and older adults - Better than I Ever Expected.

"If you think you don't know any closeted gay teenagers, it's only because they are closeted. Maybe your "Bobby" is your grandson, or your granddaughter's best friend, or the neighbor kid, or the quiet boy at church. We've learned a lot about life and about sexuality in the decades we've been living on this earth, and part of it is to accept ourselves and open ourselves to younger folks who might need a role model, a listening ear, and a warm "so good to see you today."
