COMMENTARY: One Tree Hill Season 4 Pre-Season

Recently I've been watching a lot of Smallville, Lost and other shows, but the time has come for me to start another programme in my "waiting to start" list: namely One Tree Hill. I'm probably watching the season premiere later today and it will have been more than 18 months since I watched the previous season's finale "The Show Must Go On".

And what a finale that was: ranking as one of my favourite episodes of all time, with the whole thing: the music, the drama, the mystery. The main events which happened in that episode were:

• Rachel and Cooper are trapped underwater in a car after Rachel drove them off a bridge. Nathan has dived in to save them while Haley stands on a bridge screaming for help.
• Karen is pregnant, and at least one other person is too. The episode implies that Rachel is pregnant (she has "something to tell" Cooper), that Haley is pregnant (she has "something to tell" Nathan, saying he is good in a crisis), and that Brooke is pregnant (Lucas thinks so, after he finds a pregnancy test in what he thinks is Brooke's purse - Brooke made everyone identical purses as wedding gifts).
• Someone knows that Dan killed Keith and has written "Murderer" on his wall.
• Brooke told Peyton that their friendship is over....again.
• Oh and in case that wasn't enough, Nathan and Haley got married again.

I'm guessing that we'll find out the answers to many of these in the season 4 premiere....so a very exciting episode! It's called "The Same Deep Water As You" - presumably a reference to the underwater Nathan, Cooper and Rachel.
