Things I missed....


It seems I have completely forgotten one of  the most important aspects of One Tree Hill..the voice over! The show uses the voice over to give insight into what Lucas is thinking, as well as illustrate the general theme of an episode.Since Lucas is very well read for a kid his age, these usually involve famous literary quotes.

The Pilot Episode has Haley giving Lucas a copy of Julius Caesar as a gift. Lucas' triumph over Nathan at the end of the episode is accompanied by his voice over, citing Julius Caesar:

 

There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.




Haley is terrified of birds. She mentions being attacked by them once before, and then it happens again. Whether this is foreshadowing or not I have no idea.
