Peyton and Lindsey

Holy shit it’s a really tough watch. Especially on another rewatch when I’m just a couple years older than the characters after the time jump. The things Peyton says to Lindsey and the way she acts are so beyond immature and cruel.

The way they wrote her character in the first half of season five is just brutal. Taking the high road or any basic decency would’ve been so much better..

I can totally understand from the angle that she’s endured an insane amount of trauma and doesn’t have the appropriate coping skills, but the library scene in ep 9 is particularly rough to watch and makes it hard for me to like Peyton as a character.
