t.o.w. reasons why OTH rocks

Amazing I tell you.

Apart from the awfully good-looking cast that is to die for (I love Peyton), the lines in OTH are beautifully intriguing and insipiring. I wouldnt be watching the show if it weren't for the unbelievable, inconcievable, unfathomable amount of dignity, character and power they inject in their conversations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DAN: So, you just walk away.

COACH: Well, well. Dan Scott.

DAN: Half the team suspended, Nathan triple-teamed the rest of the season, and you say nothing.

COACH: The inmates will not run the asylum.

DAN: You're despicable, you know that? Letting the dreams of this team just vanish. You're full of crap.

Coach: It comes with old age... constipation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SKILLS: Whitey asked you to play on the team, and it's nothing?

LUCAS: It's nothing 'cause I’m not playing -- not with those guys.

SKILLS: Luke, man, I’ve been guarding you almost every night since we was 12 years old, right? And I won how many games? It just seems like a waste to me, man.

LUCAS: Well, it doesn't to me. Don't you guys ever think that maybe we belong here?

SKILLS: No. We belong here. You've never belonged here.

LUCAS: Thanks a lot, Skills. Just shoot for teams.

SKILLS: Yo, luke, man, you know you're one of my best friends, right? Ain't nothing never gonna change that, man. But keep it real. We ain't shooting for teams. We're shooting to be your excuse. And I ain't about to be a part of that, man.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KAREN: Do you remember that?

LUCAS: My first leather basketball. That was the year that Skills' father told us there was no Santa Claus.

KAREN: Yeah, and I tried to talk you out of it. Then you said something I’ll never forget. You said you felt bad for the kids who never figured it out, because when they grew up and had kids of their own, there wouldn't be any gifts on Christmas morning. You're a good kid, Luke. But sometimes I feel like you're sitting out your life on account of me, and I don't want that for you. My past is not your future, okay?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LUCAS: There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. But omitted, and the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves. Or lose the ventures before us.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ahh. So intellectual, thought-provoking and soulfully powerful. Ahh. I love the scriptwriters. And all these conversations from just one episode! Amazing. I am blown away.

Another reason why you should watch OTH is the really good acting. It's no Meryl Streep. But it brings across the message succintly. One last reason why you should give it a chance is because the relationships in the show are tantalising. Yumm.

What the heck, who bothers if you don't bother about it. It's a great show still.

The games that play us...
