This was absolutely the best OTH episode ever. I can't remember last time I cried this much. I hated Dan in the first seasons, who didn't? But when he started to come around and started to hang with Jamie I got the soft spot for him and it even grew bigger and bigger. Oh, how I will miss Danny boy and just thinking about this episode makes my heart ache. I love you always Danny, R.I.P
(So happy Keith took a visit)
Naley reunion was perfect, Nathan is just where he should be. Logan is super cute and Brooke Davis showed her real Davis power today, good for her, all in all, BEST EPISODE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Must say, Deb's and Dan's dialogue was super funny!)

Ah that was one of the best episodes of OTH ever!! Cried my eyes out! And I was not expecting to see Keith - best surprise of the season!!!
Not surprised Lucas didn't come back, and didn't expect him too. Nathan never really knew Keith, but for Lucas, Keith was a father to him. I think it was okay for Nathan to forgive him cos Dan did so much for him and for him, it was the fact Dan killed a man. For Lucas, it was far more than that - Dan killed Lucas' "father" - I never thought Lucas would ever forgive for that so I'm not surprised he didn't come back. But still hoping for a surprise return of Lucas and Peyton in the finale!!!!
Brooke - that poor girl!!! PLease please please, give her a happy ending!! And the Naley reunion - you gotta love them!!! Can not wait for last 2 eps!!! I'm so going to miss this show!
Ok so let mestart off by saying i NEVER cry while watchin tv anymore. But i was crying from beginning to end of last nights OTH. I think it was a perfect goodbye to an amazing character and the shock of Keith standing there--i completely lost it. And for those saying that karen n lucas would or should have come back--im glad they didnt. This really was about his redemption. Bringin them back in a malicious sense would have taken away from the man Dan Scott became--he was tortured enough onhis own without them bein there to rub salt in the wounds. I LOVED this episode and cant wait for the final two.
I hated Dan Scott at times, mostly I loved to hate him and sometimes I even loved him. Paul was absolutely outstanding in this episode.
This episode was by far the best one of the season, hands down.
One problem I have since Lucas and Peyton left: I think they need to stop mentioning them. Like before Brooke's wedding and this episode, they put blame on them for not being there. They don't need to butcher the now gone characters. Lucas would have been there at the hospital, whether Chad couldn't make it or didn't want to, I don't like them mentioning it because it blames the character!
But such a good ep, looking forward to the last 2 eps, can't believe its over!

Jarrad, with regards to the blood loss, you can lose so much blood and your body can be so damaged that it cannot sustain the blood supply. Unfortunately, a transfusion would not have helped, so the writers were correct in writing the scene that way.
Overall, I felt the episode was great. I would have liked if the actors did show more emotion in their scene (specifically Nate when talking with his father); I mean really this was probably the last scene Paul and James did together I would have thought there would have been real tears shedding. I agree that Paul Johannsen should get nominated for some award for those scenes. Excellent Work!! I loved to hate Dan Scott. He was evil to the core. I wish Hillary and Chad could have come back for the last few episodes. I would have loved to see Lucas talk with Dan. Lucas would have handled it the way Keith raised him. With technology, they could have done a "Skype" talk, how much time would have it taken for Chad to record that.

I was floored Dan has always been a monster to me from an overbearing(Nathan)/absentee (Lucas) father, abusive husband/boyfriend (Deb & Karen) to everything he did to Keith that did end with murder (anyone remember that monster head stone he put up for himself he put next to Keith's grave) and even when he was with Jamie I always assumed he had a motive that had not been revealed yet. When Haley accused him of kidnapping Nathan earlier in the season I agreed with her he seemed to have the most to gain. But after this episode I really think Dan has been honest about just wanting to be with his family with no uliteror motive. Even the scene with Deb was nice. It was really smart of the writer to bring back Ted Davis as a contrast. Where Dan has made a complete 180 leading to his death, Ted is still the same father we didn't see for 9 seasons the only difference is he can now make a profit off Brooke.
Where did this whole TV show idea come from after all everyone had been through w
OTH used to be one of my favorite shows, but I stopped watching because the storylines were way over the top sometimes. I checked out last night’s episodes and so glad to see I wasn’t the only one crying like a baby. Someone please give Paul Johansson ANY kind of reward-he was so amazing and if it were any other actor playing his role I probably wouldn’t have cared so much that he was dying. I wanted Dan to live, but understood that he still would have lived his life with so much regret and Keith showing up and forgiving his brother was powerful; it blew me away. I don’t understand why Chad and Hilarie could not come back for the last few episodes, but in this one, I just didn’t care about them. Paul and Bethany just knocked it out of the park and I hope I get to watch them on something else soon.

yes it reminds me of dawson's creek too, but that because they stole all the great things from dawson's creek which is such a shame. I love what they did with Dan but this episode was a disappointment to me, and so is this last season. They wanted to put too much in it and it doesn't really make any sense at all.

Dan dying is truly the saddest moment in One Tree Hill ever. Few problems however:
"Due to the blood loss and his bad heart" - Didn't Dan get a botched heart transplant in Mexico during season 7 when he was married to Rachael? And the blood loss? Ever heard of a transfusion. Wow. The writers on this show were honestly slack about how to kill him off.
"I'm sorry Dan, but Lucas isn't coming" - As much as Lucas hates Dan, it's obvious that Lucas would in fact go and would have last words for Dan whether they were caring or evil. I'm pretty sure that even Karen would go just to spit in his face one last time. The writers were once again slack in regards to guest appearances.
Loved appearances by Deb and (dead) Keith. With Keith making a surprise return, I wonder if the writers have anything planned in regards to more guest appearances?
Clinn bore me, but I like Clay and Logan. That's great, even though I am skeptical about the entire storyline to begin with.
No offence to Brooke, but

This episode was so emotional, it was beautiful. I didn't really want Dan to do but he had the best death throught out One Tree Hill. The whole idea for Julian Ravens TV show is cool because the writers are usuing actual facts. One tree hill was originally going to be titled Ravens and it was going to be a movie, then it was turned into a TV show. Its a great way to keep the spirit of the show when it ends.

Lalalala I so agree it remind me Dawson's Creek ending. it was sad episode, I liked how Dan was forgiven by his family and how Dan forgive himself for all the bad mistakes he made and how became the man he always wanted to be. I was shocked to see Keith I loved how he and Keith walked into heaven together.

I think this episode was pretty amazing. I cried during most of the episode which is a good thing! I thought it was the perfect ending for the character of Dan. I absolutely loved it. so many powerful scenes! These actors amaze me againg and again. Also love the storyline with Clay and Logan (Isn't he like the sweetest kid seen on TV ever??) All in all amazing episode, amazing storyline, amazing season, amazing show!! When Im first heard that Chad and Hilarie were leaving the show I was upset but over a while the show won me over againg and in this epi I did'nt even care if Lucas showed up or not!! Oth I will miss you!
Cried like a baby. I felt like a total loser but Dan Scott was the man. A great part of this series and the best part over the past few episodes. Paul rocked this.

OTH has not only redeemed Dan, with this episode it redeemed itself for going on without Lucas and Peyton.
Best episode of the season by far, maybe even the series.
Now it all make sense, they found a proper closure for everyone.
Paul Johansson was outstanding, the writing was beautiful and the surprise at the end with Keith forgiving Dan and taking him to heaven was just the most beautiful death of a character ever.
OTH has gained my respect again, congratulations.

I loved to hate Dan and also love to see Keith. "Danny Boy" had one of the best goodbyes of the show and the flashbacks were amazing. I can´t believe there´s only two episodes left! I´m really going to miss these show but it´s definitely time to say goodbye.

I liked how how Clay went to grandparent and told how much loved Sara and wanted to be in his son life and for few listen to back off but I loved how he came back and said he wanted to be part son's life and how Logan met Quinn was so good Logan is so cute and sweet. now I can't stand Brooke's dad he was never there for his son. I loved to hate Dan he made OTH it was good when he was having his flashbacks what he did wrong it was good and Nathan dealing with this nice that Deb came and I was shocked to see Keith it was the best and I cried when both Dan and Keith walked off together. I just wish Lucas was there great episode.
Nate: Oh wait, you've already been kidnapped. Jamie: So have you.
