top 10 creek moments

Posted on by

Tonight is the series finale (*sobs*) for Dawson’s Creek so I thought I would take my cue from TV Gal and post my own top 10 (okay 11!) favorite Creek moments (in chronological order). 🙂

01. Dawson and Joey’s “scorching” kiss on the swings in “The Kiss” (epi#201). Ah, the look of first love.

02. The Creekers’ cram session at the end of “The All-Nighter” (epi#207) culminating with them all jumping into the pool. I’m a sucker for fun group interaction!

03. Jack and Jen going to live with Grams in the season 2 finale, “Parental Discretion Advised” (epi#222). “I want a family. I want us to take care of each other and I don’t want to be alone anymore.” I heart Jen. So. Much

04. Pacey and Joey’s dance in “The Anti-Prom” (epi#321). This is the scene that really cemented my P/Jo obsession. These two really know how to bring on the angst. And then when Pacey says “I remember everything,” I immediately melt.

05. Joey running after Pacey to tell him she’s in love with him in “True Love” (epi#323). Probably my most favorite scene ever. I love the way Joey anxiously runs to the dock to catch Pacey before he can leave — and the way Pacey’s face lights up when she says that she’s in love with him. *sigh*

06. Andie’s goodbye dinner in “You Had Me at Goodbye” (epi#407). Just a huge sob-fest for me. I loved Andie and didn’t want to see her go.

07. Dawson giving Joey a picture of her and Pacey for Christmas in “Self-Reliance” (epi#410). This scene *always* makes me cry. It’s such a beautiful gesture of acceptance on Dawson’s part. Plus, this exchange..
Joey: It’s beautiful.
Dawson: Yeah, I’m doing better, aren’t I?
Joey: That’s not what I meant…
Dawson: I know what you meant
… is just so wonderfully executed.

08. Jen confronting her father in “Eastern Standard Time” (epi#418). Just a spectacular performance by Michelle Williams during this storyline — she gave Jen a real depth and vulnerability in her scenes with her father.

09. Pacey putting aside past differences with Dawson to be there for him when Mitch died in “The Long Goodbye” (epi#504). “Once upon a time, you and I were best friends. And that means that whenever you need me, I’m here. Any time, anywhere, any place. Forever. You understand that?”

10. Jen leaving Capeside in a cab the same way she arrived in “Joey Potter and the Capeside Redemption” (epi#622). Just a beautiful image as she watches Harley, George and Patrick (Joey, Dawson and Pacey) playing on the dock before she leaves to go back to NY.

Honorable Mention:
01. Joey telling Pacey “Just – can you do me a favor? In the future when you’re dealing with life and death matters? remember that you’re thinking for two” in “The Two Gentlemen of Capeside” (epi#403). Just… awwwww.

*sniff* Loved tonight’s episode of Dawson’s Creek… I still can’t believe there’s only one episode left…

Moments I loved:
– The return of Dougie! 🙂 I loved the look on Doug’s face when Pacey showed up at his apartment with all his stuff, hee.
– Joey calling Doug “Dougie?” — just thought that was cute
– Pacey watching soaps
– Todd coming back! Eeeee!!!
– The imagery of Jen leaving in a cab, the same way she entered Capeside (I got so teary-eyed during this scene) — and how she sees Harley, Patrick and George (mini-Joey, Pacey and Dawson) playing around on the dock before she gets into the cab
– Dawson and Pacey realizing that the only way they can be friends again is if they leave the past behind them and move forward
– Jen and Jack walking hand in hand at NYU
– Joey finally getting to see the Eiffel Tower

Memorable quotes:
Audrey: You want me to play the slutty teacher that robbed Pacey of his delicate flower?
Joey: You have a problem with that?
Jen: You could play Eve.
Joey: Sadly, Eve didn’t make the cut.
Audrey: Who the hell is Eve?
Jack: Uh, long story. Ambiguous ending.
Audrey: I get to play Miss Jacobs, the woman who seduced a boy on the verge of manhood.
Patrick (mini-Pacey): Excuse me, is there any scenario where she [Audrey playing Miss Jacobs] could just take off all her clothes? You know, for at least one take. Because then I feel like I could really give you an appropriate on-camera reaction.
Joey: Can I have 5 minutes alone with this guy?
Patrick: You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting to hear you say that.

Jen: What is this feeling? It just seems like everything is getting smaller and smaller. It’s all still there — I just can’t touch it.
Jack: I think it’s called goodbye. (*sob*)

Todd: Too good. It might want to make a bloke invite a bird to his room for a little night cap.

Dawson: All we wanted was her. So much so that we destroyed our friendship. And in the end, all she wanted was for us to be friends again.

Joey: I used to be afraid of so many things, that I’d never grow up, that I’d be trapped in the same place for all eternity, that my dreams would forever be shy of my reach. It’s true what they say, time plays tricks on you. One day you’re dreaming, the next, your dream has become your reality. And now that this scared little girl no longer follows me wherever I go, I miss her. Because there are things that I want to tell her – to relax, that it is all going to be okay. I want her to know that meeting people who like you, who understand you, who actually accept you for who you are will become an increasingly rare occurence. Jen, Jack, Audrey, Andie, Pacey, and Dawson, the people who contributed to who I am, they are with me wherever I go. And as history gets rewritten in small ways with each passing day, my love for them only grows. Because the truth is, it was the best of times, mistakes were made, hearts were broken, harsh lessons learned, but all of that has receded into fond memory now. How does it happen? Why are we so quick to forget the bad and romanticize the good? Maybe its because we need to believe that the time we spent together actually meant something, that we were there for each other in a time of our lives that defined us all, a time in our lives that we will never forget. I can’t swear that this is exactly how it happened, but this is how it felt.

*sniff*

goodbye yellow brick road

Was anyone else stunned when Ryan Seacrest announced that Ruben was in the bottom 2 on American Idol? Never saw that one coming.

And can I just say that Katie Holmes’s hair looks awful. It’s all 2-toned — dark brown for 5 inches at the top and then it transitions into a horrid bright orange. Ugh. Why did she choose now, at the end of DC, to grow out her roots? It’s really distracting. Anyway… my thoughts on tonight’s episode of Dawson’s Creek, “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road…”

Finally! We are getting to the good stuff.

Dawson and Joey: I loved the return of the ladder — I really loved their quirky friendship in season 1 (sleeping in each other’s beds, talking on and on about sex) and I was happy to see them clearing the air, so to speak, and actually talking about what happened to them in “The Song Remains the Same.” I really do think that the show is primarily about them and the place they have in each other’s lives — and it seems like they’ve finally gotten past their romantic issues and are able to be just friends.

Pacey and Joey: When their scene first started, I was annoyed with KH’s delivery of the lines — she seemed to be chastising Pacey instead of consoling him. But once it ended, I realized Joey was right. Pacey is so quick to out himself as a “loser” and get all negative and depressed. Loved Joey’s little squeeze at the end… very reminiscent of “Like A Virgin.”

Dawson and Pacey: I’m one of the few DC fans who actually *sees* the friendship between these two — so to see them fight AGAIN, just made me so sad. I don’t see how I could pick a side — I think both of them had valid points and they both took the argument too far. Cause seriously, did Dawson have to bring up the triangle again? So 3 years ago. And did Pacey have to be so defensive? Dawson *did* want to cash out last week but Pacey didn’t listen. But was it just me or was the fight scene a little… off. Joey’s little interruptions really ruined the flow or something. And every time she put her hand on her forehead, I looked at her 2-toned hair and I totally forgot there was a scene going on. It really is that distracting for me.

Jack/Jen/Grams: The best part of the episode for me! Can I love these 3 anymore than I already do? 😀 Their interaction is so natural and real to me. I love them to pieces. And I especially like how continuity came for a visit when Jen and Grams reminded Jack that he wanted to go to the University of New York back in season 4.

And the PROMOS! Agh!

too much good tv

Well, what do you know?! My guestbook dies. I don’t want to bother with it so I leave it alone. And weeks later, it magically works again. Very cool. 🙂

Is it just me or is anyone else not feeling anything for the current American Idol contestants?

Last season, I was all about Kelly — she captured me the week when she sang “Natural Woman” (I think it was the 2nd or 3rd week of the top ten part of the show) and ever since then, I’ve loved her. I got all fangirly obsessed by downloading her old demo singles and videos of her performances. But this season, there has been no one that I adore like that. Sure, I like Clay, Ruben, and Kim Locke — but none of them capture me so much that I seek out more information on them, you know? Anyway…

Yay for Buffy! And Smallville! And Gilmore Girls!

Though I have to say that I was kinda half-watching SMVL — and of course, what happens? I miss the Clark ass shot! But I think I saw enough of it in the promos, lol. Well, there’s always the rerun on Sunday. 😉

And let’s see… I’m going to attempt to use the extended entry feature here so I can talk about Buffy and Dawson’s Creek without giving anything away to the spoiler-free… be warned though, there are some DC finale spoilers…

i feel all torn up

Posted on by

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?!?

homage to dc

New layout, yay. I just needed a bit of a change from the red in the last layout. It was getting too bright and cheery… or something.

And yes, I do realize it’s Dawson’s Creek again, lol. I just wanted something that spanned all the seasons of DC since the show is coming to an end soon. Be sure to check out all the other sections — the little header pictures are all different. 🙂 Fun fun.

I’ve actually only managed to watch the first 4 episodes of my DC s1 DVD (Pilot, The Dance, The Kiss, Discovery) and gawd, how much better was the dialogue back then? It’s completely different from the writing in the later seasons. It was a lot more self-aware and witty back then. And I completely agree with Kate, the chemistry between Pacey and Joey is like… palpable. They act as if they despise one another but deep down they have real respect and love for the other. I totally missed that before — I was so busy being confused about which side of the Joey/Jen/Dawson triangle to root for. On the one hand, I wanted Joey to get her dream but I also saw something really sweet in Dawson and Jen’s relationship.

Last bit of DC talk — if you requested DVD caps from me, I haven’t started them yet! Eek, don’t hate me. I was very lazy this weekend. I’ll probably get started tomorrow.

Got my Dawson’s Creek DVDs today! So very excited. I haven’t gotten the chance to watch them yet… saving that for the weekend so it’ll be a marathon along with the season 2 episodes that I’ll be taping the rest of this week.

Ok, going to make some screencaps of “The Dance” now — definitely one of my favorite s1 episodes. I loooove the Dawson/Jen scene at the end. “I want to be your boy adventure. ” Awww… back then, I wanted Dawson and Joey to realize their feelings for each other but I did love Dawson and Jen’s brief relationship as well. Sometimes I feel like the only person in the DC fandom who loved Jen in season 1. I know the writers set her up as “the obstacle” to Dawson and Joey but I never used that as a reason to dislike her — and since she’s my favorite character, it disappoints me to read all the blind hatred of her characters simply because she “got in the way.”

Anyway, if anyone else wants me to make them screencaps of certain scenes from my DC DVDs, I’d be happy to do so. I probably don’t have time to do entire episodes but short scenes are fine. 🙂

grrr… argh

My Dawson’s Creek season 1 DVDs shipped today! Hopefully I’ll have them by the weekend so I can have my DC marathon. I actually woke up early today (5AM!) to watch the first few episodes of the DC reruns. Lol, I’m insane. This I know.

So I was surfing the net while at work today (I am *so* productive!) and I found out that Good Charlotte/New Found Glory and Norah Jones are going to be playing in the area over the summer. Where the hell have I been?!? Why did I not know about this? Grrr. And of course, when I check to see if there are any tickets left, both shows are all sold out. Waaaahhh. I want to go! So. Bad.

Grrr. Argh.

pipe dream

Posted on by

Ok, so going to Wilmington in April is definitely a pipe dream. I spent all weekend going back and forth about whether or not I can actually afford it. And as much as it pains me to say it, I finally decided that I can’t spare the money right now. Waahhh.

But I did get the boyfriend to agree to take me in August. Woohoo! The cast of Dawson’s Creek will probably be long gone but at least I’ll get the chance to see the place where my favorite show was filmed. And I’ll probably be able to stay a lot longer than I would have had I gone through with going in a few weeks. Thanks to everyone who volunteered to go with me though! 🙂 What an adventure that would have been!

Anyway, don’t forget that the DC reruns start tomorrow on TBS. I still can’t believe that they start at 5AM(!) for us on the West Coast. I mean, honestly, who watches TV at that time? Weird.

And yay for Michelle Kwan! I’m so happy that she won the World Championships yesterday. Her performance was nothing short of amazing. I felt a surge of happy emotion during her entire long program. As soon as she took the ice, I just knew she was going to be perfect — she rocked her triple jumps and I loved her straight line footwork. *sigh* I wish that Sasha Cohen and Sarah Hughes had pulled it together, though — it would have been awesome to see a US sweep. I really do think that we had the most depth and technique on our team compared to the rest of the countries in attendance. Must watch it again, hee.

Call me a desperate fan!girl or whatever, but I really want to go to Wilmington to catch filming before Dawson’s Creek ends.

I even spent hours tonight trying to find inexpensive plane tickets! hee. I just don’t know if it’s something I can actually pull off. First of all, I’d have to make arrangements immediately if I want to go before April 25, which is rumored to be the last day of filming. I’d also have to get a few days off from work — and not having been at the company too long, I can’t gauge how my boss will react to this just yet. And then there’s the matter of trying to convince someone to go with me! (Anyone up for a Wilmy adventure? ;)) Cause my boyfriend didn’t seem too thrilled when I told him what I wanted to do.

It sounds perfect in my head — but I guess I don’t need to go right now. It would have been nice though. 🙂
