With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept

A very moving and brave episode of One Tree Hill - With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept.
This one from season 3, which would have aired in the USA about a year ago now, revolved around a disgruntled student taking a gun to school. Very controversial in one way but the episode was so well done.
Of the three episodes we watched last night, taking us close to the end of season three, the first two were very dark in tone and the third a much needed light-hearted and quite funny in parts episode.
I might sound like a broken record but this is the best show of its kind on TV, only it's not actually on TV here.
What was exceptional about the episode, aside from the overall gutsiness of handling the topic, were the performances from some of the cast. For a high school soap the bar isn't set all that high and some of them reall stepped up. Most notably Colin Fickes as Jimmy (the kid with the gun) who wasn't given an easy task.
