The show's producers wanted Scott [handicapped] in some way, and gave the character a [damaged leg] arising from an [improper diagnosis].

[reception] general..

It tells the story of Karen and Dan and how she got pregnant. Then, after Dan marries Deb it skips to the future where Lucas has his first day at Tree Hill High. He meets Mouth and others and realizes that maybe basketball is for him. That is until he and Nathan get into a fight about Dan.^[2]

In the broadcasted pilot episode, Brooke Davis (portrayed by Sophia Bush), did not appear in the and made her first appearance in The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most. Samantha Shelton also played a character called Reagan in the unaired pilot. She was replaced with the character Haley.^[2]

Reception and release

In the United States of America, the episode's initial broadcast attracted two and a half million viewers on The WB Television Network,^[3] compared to the rest of the series, it was poorly received.

The "Pilot" MiniDVD was released by Warner Home Video in the United States and Canada on April 26, 2005, almost two years after it had been broadcast on television. The MiniDVD was released in a standard rectangular cardboard box featuring the first season's main characters on a bed.

Cook Island (also known as Cook's Isle and historically as Turtle Island) is an uninhabited island in the South Pacific Ocean, located approximately six hundred metres from Fingal Head and four kilometres from Tweed Heads, New South Wales.

History

The first recorded European sighting of Cook Island was made by the English navigator James Cook, who sighted the coast of Fingal Head in 1770. During the 18th century, Cook charted the coastline of the island, but made no attempt at settlement. Cook then continued sailing north along the eastern coast of Australia, naming the channel separating the island and the mainland, Giants Causeway.

In 1823, English explorer John Oxley anchored at the island to take refuge from southerly winds. Oxley and English crew member Uniacke then visited the island and named it Turtle Island, after finding sea turtles and an unidentified shipwreck. Five years later, British admiral Henry John Rous surveyed the Tweed River and named the island as Cook's Isle, from which the current name is derived from.

There have been two shipwrecks on the island. The first was reported by Australian spearfisher Ben Cropp as a European vessel that crashed in the 16th century. The second, a ship transporting apples, in transit from Hobart, Tasmania to Brisbane, Queensland, wrecked in 1942.

Since 1998, the island has been managed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service agency of the New South Wales Department of Environment and Climate Change. It is under the jurisdiction of the New South Wales government and the Tweed Shire Council.

History

Cook Island, a rocky uninhabited island first charted by James Cook in 1770. The stretch of water to the island is called the "Giants Causeway".

cook and oxley In 1823 John Oxley took shelter from the southerly winds.

...under the lee of the Island in 7 fms. sandy bottom. [Before anchoring we] passed close to a Bold Headland about 3 Miles North of Pt.D. (Point Danger) On the South Side of this headland we had the satisfaction to discover a considerable river... (Tweed River)

John Uniack and later Oxley went onto the island, where they found some sea turtles and called the island "Turtle Island". In 1828 Henry John Rous (Captain of HMS Rainbow) surveyed Oxley's Tweed River, the name used today. A chart published in 1831 by the Master of the "Rainbow" showing the island as "Cook's Isle" and the river named the "Clarance River" - the unnamed headland, North of the river was named Point Danger. However the off-shore reefs East of the Island where not marked. The local aboriginal people were the Minjungbal, but the impact of white settlement meant they were almost wiped out by 1900.^[3][4][5]

European shipwreck predating cook's discovery of Australia by two centuries -- found by Ben Cropp. It's a mountain top protruding from the ocean and is used by local fishermen as a weekend camping spot. Another shipwreck; ship laden with Tasmanian apples bound for the Brisbane markets, in 1942.^[6]
