So I’m watching One Tree Hill, and in it, there’s this new guy whose wife died, and he apparently has a habit of talking to his visions of her. And he knows she’s dead, and vision-her presses the fact that she’s dead, and that he should probably go hang out with some non-dead people, but whatever. Coping mechanism.
Anyway, in the meanwhile, this other girl is crushing on him, and he keeps denying her. Because, you know. Better to fantasize about the dead wife giving him sexy come-ons poolside, and having long talks on the couch, etc.
Well, Alive Girl is back at his doorstep, and he’s finally willing to let her into his home. And I know the scene is meant to be dramatic and bittersweet and romantic, but if you look at this from her point of view rather than his…?
THAT IS SOME SCARY SH!T.
I mean, can you imagine crushing on a dude, finally getting him to let you stop inside his place, and all along you’re unaware that he spent the entire day holding conversations with dead people????
