 It's getting better... August 30, 2008
...but will it be this way for long? Cause even if the season's one of the best by far and is more mature,how long will it stand?
I mean,besides that,some characters or storylines are still too cliched or just plain (Dan,please get rid of him! and Leyton/Bruckas,enough is enough!).Plus the really over the top cliched effects (the slow motions with the heartbreaking music on the background,please!...)and the scene where everybody sings Mia's song on ep.9 (it's nice and all,plus they all seem to sing well,but what did it add to the storyline itself?...).
We have the newcomers:
- Quentin:even more annoying than Nathan,you only want to slap his face even if when he's supposed to be one of the good guys.
- Kevin Federline:OMG,can he be more useless and annoying?!...
- And Mia:who is supposed to be Tree Hill's American Idol,but can she actually knows how to sing without her annoying vibes and stuff?...(I bought her CD,Kate Vogeole's,and I'm sorry to say that but there are more talented singers out there).Plus,her make up's awfall on the early eps.
The only good surprises are Jamie (so cute and talented),Millicent (a perfect match for Mouth),Lindsey (the perfect girlfriend for Lucas,but maybe too perfect...),Victoria (Daphne Zuniga was made for this part and we always expect for her to be nice at some point,but no...) and the hot nanny (Torrey's most convincing performance).
Other low points:
- Some flashbacks are really important for the storyline and others aren't.
- At 22 you don't get to have done so many things in your life.The should have been on their mid/late 20's for it to be realistic.
All in all it's a really good season beside it flaws,which are numerous but you watch it anyway without missing a little bit of it.
One complain about the DVDs,what happened to "tear us apart" by INXS? how come it's "ride" by Cary Brothers we hear instead of this song? is it still a cost of rights problem or just a forgetting?...
 I love One tree hill August 5, 2008
Basically you are rating the season and I am not saying this was the best OTH season but I would say top 2.
Great Season August 4, 2008
Season 5 of OTH ended up a lot better than I thought it would be. When I first heard that they were fast forwarding 4 years, I thought that it was a risk and something that no other show has done before. It worked!!! With so many shows featuring the college years, it was nice to see these characters grow older, and experience life when it really begins. Although most weren't any wiser, it was nice to see what they had done with their lives, and where they are still yet wanting to go. If you are a OTH fan, this season won't disappoint you.
Guilty pleasure. July 30, 2008

I was never a fan of One Tree Hill until I started watching season five. The first four seasons were pretty immature and inconsistent but I actually enjoyed every episode from this 4 years in the future season. Instead of making the gang all go to the same College, the writers decided to jumpstart the teens 4 years after they graduated high school and see what happened to their characters in bewtween. Some flashblacks are used to fill in the gaps but mostly the show stays true to the present time. Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton probably have the strongest and complicated characters and the cliff-hanger was definitely worth watching the whole season, I highly recommend purchasing this almost flawless season, enjoy!
