October Road: New guilty pleasure
April 20, 2007 at 1:46 p.m.
Big sigh of relief. Okay, we all knew how it would turn out, but thank goodness Sam is okay. It’s just too early in the show for anything so tragic to happen. Except of course for the fact that we already have a dead mother, a guy who left his true love for 10 years and wrote a revealing novel about his hometown. And of course there’s the twist of the friend sleeping with his best friend’s wife. What am I saying? This show has tragic written all over it. And that’s why I love it.
As a big fan of That ‘70s Show I really enjoy seeing Laura Prepon again. I think she made the transition from comedy to drama quite nicely. And as for Bryan Greenberg – huge fan! Although I am slightly disappointed that this addition to ABC means he won’t be returning to One Tree Hill on The CW. This of course means that Jake won’t be returning to steal Peyton from Lucas, leaving him free for Brooke. Alas, this is a different blog entirely. (One I would love to start, if only they’d show new episodes of OTH.)
So, back to October Road: I hate to say it, but I feel the plot line is a little predictable. First of all, Sam has to be Nick’s son. Right? I just don’t see any other way around it. I was half hoping the accident would have been just a tad more serious and Sam would have needed some very rare type of blood that only his father could match. I know - it’s a little early in the season to spoil that big mystery. But a girl can hope.
And I just know Aubrey’s going to ruin things for Nick and Hannah. I wish she would just transfer schools.
It’s also just a matter of time before Owen finds out about his wife’s affair with his best friend. My guess is, Big Cat’s going to spill the beans next week.
Speaking of next week, what’s with this “Season Finale” business? Six episodes in and they’re going to leave us hanging? If they end up pulling the plug after making us wait around all summer, I swear I’m going to boycott all things ABC. Except Grey’s of course. And Notes from the Underbelly. Okay, boycott off. I just hope they don’t cancel my newest guilty pleasure.
