Do not read if you do not want to know about tonight’s episode of Dawson’s Creek.
So Love Bites tore me up. Seriously. I was teary for most of the episode. I can’t believe after all the crap it has put me through (see season 5), the darn show still has an effect on me. Damn it, I really am going to miss it when it’s gone. Only 5 more episodes.
I love Joey but can she get any more wishy-washy?!? The girl needs to learn to make a decision. I can’t for the life of me understand why she would lead Pacey on only to stomp all over his heart when Eddie comes back. Now, I don’t dislike Eddie (I actually thought they were cute during the Christmas episode) but the writers were the ones who dropped the ball. They could have left P/Jo dead and buried. I accepted that. But then 4 episodes ago, they brought up the possibility of P/Jo reuniting — and I really don’t want to let it go that easily.
But the storyline that had me bawling was Jen and Grams. It hit a little too close to home for me. And let me just say that Michelle Williams and Mary Beth Piel are amazing — their tight hug said it all.
Some quotes I liked:
Dawson: Pace, I think after all we’ve been through together that we don’t have to worry about it getting awkward.
Pacey: Well, yes, we’ve certainly been through awkward, but we’ve never been through “I’m broke and it’s all your fault.”
Patrick: Yeah, I don’t know why I should be taking advice from you. Like you’re some kind of Yoda when it comes to the chicks.
Pacey: Have you seen my date?
Patrick: Tell me more, Sensai.
Pacey: So what, you’re scared. Right? You’re scared. And so am I, believe me. And I’m scared because I don’t know where this thing is going, Jo. As in, I think it could go anywhere. This could be it.
Joey: It won’t be.
Pacey: How could you possibly know that? I mean, really. Last week, you’re onboard, and now you’re just psychically telling me that this could never be something great. You can’t possibly know that, because we don’t know that, Joey.
Pacey: Don’t tell me that you’re not scared, because I know that you are. I mean, I’ve known you too long and seen you push away too many good things to let you push me away right now. My whole life, Joey, my whole life you have been the most beautiful thing in my orbit. And my feelings for you were what proved to me that I could be great. And those feelings were stronger and were wiser and more persistent and more resilient than anything else about me.
Grams: Jennifer… I am not ready to die yet. Come here. (Waaahhhhhh!)
And did anyone see the preview for next week? They’re following up an emotionally heavy episode with THAT?!?
Do the writers hate us? Really. Okay, I haven’t seen the episode yet, read the transcript though (season six hasn’t started in NZ) and really, I think the writers need to be hit over the head several times with a large chair…
I agree with you though, episode very emotional and very sad.
OMG! I hate Eddie ok. He made me so mad last night 🙁 I just really want Pacey and Joey together 🙁
I’m not a PJer and it almost had ME bawling.
Actually I was about ready to jump ship to PJ, but I knew the writers would screw it up somehow so I stayed on my ship. Not gonna let the writers screw with me that much!
I loved the P/Jo moments up until Joey basically said no more!! I was so mad. I agree, I did like Eddie very much in the beginning. He was something new for her, but when they brought back the possibility of Pacey & Joey reuniting. I wanted nothing more than those two together.
I also cried during Jen/Grams scene at the end. Oh and no no…I didn’t like the previews for next week. I heard that they wanted to bring Audrey back and do this whole thing with Jen/CJ hosting something…..but I hope it will be better than what it showed!
aw, i missed it. i’d probably be bawling too. =P
great new layout btw!
Kel if you just wanna zip up whatever Michelle Jen caps you have I’ll thumb nail them. Or just zip it all up and I can thumbnail them I have this nity thumb nail maker… I’ll see if I can find the link for it again
Pacey was on the verge of crying when Joey ripped his heart out. *sigh* And Jen and Grams? That got me. They were both incredible!
And yes, that next episode does not make any sense, not after this week’s episode.
About Eddie, I didn’t dislike him as much as I was indifferent to him back then, but now that he’s back…eck. It’s all so frustrating.
What was that line about Pacey saying something about possibility being a mean trick? lol
I actually haven’t seen the ep yet… it sounds so angsty! Hopefully Global will show it tonight, otherwise I might have to dl it or something.
Hey, maybe there’s still hope, the writers can’t just drag the P/Jo story through the mud by using it as a catalyst for whatever other couple they want to bring together. That’s just WRONG. That’s why season 4 pissed me off (more towards the end) it all seemed like one big catalyst. PFFFT.
Oh, and I LOVE your new layout!!
