Season 2 finale (first timer writing down her thoughts)
So season 2 overall wasn’t a banger for me, but judging from this subreddit that seems to be quite the popular opinion.
Anyways the finale kind of ate. At least regarding Dan getting poisoned and burned to death. I doubt he’ll actually die but the whole scene took me by surprise. I love how Dan is so hated and despised that the person dropping the lighter could literally be everyone xD but my guess is on Andy. At first I thought maybe Dan killed Andy and that’s why he never checked in, but that whole beef got so personal I think it’s actually the other why around (or at least attempted murder). Also I can’t imagine the writers to make one of the main cast the culprit like Deb or Keith. Plus Andy is kind of sidelined already, it would be a smart way to get rid of his character.
Talking about getting rid of characters: Felix and Anna were such a waste of screen time. Besides them conveniently leaving the show same season they didn’t really change anything and had boring storylines.
Now getting to the point that makes me actually quite angry. Disclaimer: I love Jake and Peyton together, like I think I might be their biggest supporter. So apart from him leaving once again is such a horrible reality, Peyton not being allowed to join him is just nonsense. Like his reasoning doesn’t make any god damn sense. It’s summer break for gods sake. She wouldn’t miss a thing. She could have at least joined him for 3 months and, if they didn’t find Jenny in that time, come back to school alone while Jake continues the search. Now he once again abandoned her, and for what? Spending 3 months on her own being terribly sad. Besides Lucas nobody else is even around. I dare say it’s a waste of time to spend her summer in tree hill. I really hate this. I literally cried along with Peyton begging him to not leave her
Small note on Peytons mom: I’m really unsure what that storyline will bring. There must have happened a huge conspiracy for her to fake her death and leave her husband and daughter in such a horrible way. Also who did they bury lol? I’d consider doubting her story, but I wonder what could that woman possibly get out of faking to be peytons mom? Plus Larry would only have to look at her once and call her out. So I guess she actually is her mum, but I doubt I’ll like that storyline. Grieving her mom, dealing with her absent father plus abandoned by the man she loves isn’t bad enough, I feel like this mother person will bring Peyton even more pain :(
