summer diaries part 2

Posted on by

Because I am a good samaritan, I will be recapping the DC summer diaries so you guys don’t have to. 😉

Dawson… to ditch or not to ditch Oliver? That, boys and girls, is the question.

Jack… the poor guy misses Jen. But really, wasn’t he the one who ditched her for frat boy Eric? ::rolls eyes::

Joey… She wrote Dawson a letter that she’ll never send. She writes — “Feels like we’ve barely spoken all summer. And yet there’s still so much unspoken, isn’t there? It’s not as if time and distance and all those things don’t make it next to impossible to reach each other, plus you’re busy, I’m busy, and these things tend to fall by the wayside. Is that how it’s always going to be?” It goes on and on like that for a bit. ::sigh:: Good grief — it’s never-ending with these two. Writers (not that they would ever read my blog), you need to put these crazy kids together and make them decide, once and for all, if they belong together. Cause all this back and forth silliness is really maddening. Also, still no definite confirmation that she’s in Paris.

Pacey… my sweet Pacey has become little more than a vehicle for the writers to let us know how Audrey is handling the summer with her very critical and scrutinizing parents. ::yawn::

Jen… I’m still upset with the writers for tackling Jen’s parental issues in the diaries of all places. They had ample opportunities in Seasons 3 and 4, when Jen faced her mom and dad for the first time in a long while but of course, those 2 storylines were a whole lot of nothing.

The infamous Dawson’s Creek summer diaries have started… and ugh, they’re just as awful as I expected. The only time I actually looked forward to and enjoyed reading the diaries was the summer between Seasons 3 and 4… I’m sure you can imagine why. ::looks around wistfully at Pacey/Joey layout:: 😉

Here are some “highlights” —
Dawson, Dawson, Dawson… “Last year, I was the clumsy ingenue, the naive idealist with grandiose plans and no foreseeable means of implementing them. Instead of carving my path and taking the cinematic universe by storm, my admittedly egocentric grandstanding cost me my burgeoning career at the time. But life has fortuitously given me a second chance at this…” — WHAT?!? Dawson still *is* a naive idealist — I mean, come on. Has he gotten over Joey yet? Yeah, didn’t think so. The dream of “Dawson and Joey — soulmates forever” sounds like idealism to me.

Jack… ::yawn::

Joey… She’s tired of self-analysis yet she writes a poem about whether or not she should take the road less-traveled. Get over yourself, Joey. And wow, the writers thought they were being inventive by not revealing where Joey is spending her summer — is she in Paris? Is she in Capeside or Boston? Will the suspense never end? Heh.

Pacey… I don’t want to hear about any non-G rated adventures he’s having with Audrey. Ugh. But I have to admit I warmed up a bit when he mentioned Dawson… I kinda think it’s nice that they’re actually spending time together. Yes, I’m very much a sucker.

Jen… More of the same “my parents suck,” “I hate rich people” stuff, which I personally hate because the writers just CANNOT do justice to the storyline. Yet here they are… bringing it up again. ::sigh:: Jen deserves so much better.

dc sucks!

Gah — I’m not even going to say anything about DC cause if you know me by now, then you know I hated it. With a passion. I wish I could say that I am not going to tune in for Season 6. But I’m a glutton for punishment. ::sigh:: And did the closing shot of the episode freak anyone else out? The way the camera captured Joey’s smiling face was creepy.

Anyway, gonna see Star Wars (whee!) in 2 hours!!! The bad thing is that I’m only going to have, like 3 hours of sleep before I have to wake up for work. Ah well.

DC season 6 – all d/jo, all the time

This pic makes me cry! And yes! I *am* a bitter P/Jer. 😛

There was an earthquake here (Northern Cali) tonight! I hate earthquakes. I was taking a nice nap when all of a sudden, there was all this shaking and clattering (all my CDs falling off the shelf). Scary stuff. I think it was 5.2 on the Richter scale. I’m just glad it wasn’t “the big one.” ::shudders at the thought:: My room is still a mess though — papers and CDs all over the floor. I don’t want to clean! Stupid earthquake.

wet tom! yum!

I just saw last night’s episode of Smallville (“Crush”) and can I just be a teeny-bopper for a bit — how HOT was Clark/Tom as he was standing in the rain at the end? ::drool:: Yum! I also really loved all the moments between Clark and Lana. The look between them at the end was so full of angsty goodness. ::sigh:: My favorite quote was from Lex to Clark: “For arguments sake, lets call them Lana and Chloe.” Hee!

So tonight was yet another crap-tastic episode of my favorite show Dawson’s Creek. Very disappointing but at least we got to see Jen. The only redeeming scenes were the ones with her in them. I loved loved loved when she was dancing on the chair to “Teenage Wasteland.” She’s completely adorable. As for the rest of the episode, 1) the Pacey/Alex storyline equals waste of time, 2) Dawson was not the last person who went with Joey to visit her dad in jail, it was actually Pacey (convenient lapse of memory. stupid writers) and 3) Dawson/Joey — well, I think I’ve made it pretty clear that I love these two characters individually and only as friends so really, I have absolutely no interest in their upcoming reunion. I’m in total agreement with Linda — Pacey and Joey had the much more compelling relationship but *of course,* their great love story was sacrificed for the soulmates. My poor little True Lover heart. I don’t care if the original plan for the show was all about the road to Dawson and Joey — Kevin Williamson never even thought that the show would continue past the first season. Times change, characters change — I really think the writers are limiting the creative potential of the show by writing stories that cater to the soulmate storyline but whatever. I’ve thought entirely too much about this.

Must think happy thoughts. 😛

[edit: I’m looking for screencaps for Smallville (“Crush”) and high quality promo pics for Spider-Man. Help anyone? ]

Yay! It’s flower-y goodness with Joey Potter! 🙂 I hope the graphics look okay — I wanted something a bit more colorful — and even though tonight’s episode of Dawson’s Creek did absolutely nothing to make me like Joey, I DO love these pictures. *sigh*
Anyway, I’m super tired now — gotta head to bed. *yawn*

Aww damn, I’m supposed to be cleaning my apartment for my best friend’s visit this weekend and what do I do? I fall asleep! Gah! I really need to vacuum but now that it’s 11:30pm, I don’t think the people who live below me will appreciate that too much. But what *really* sucks is that I missed so much great TV (yes, I realize I need to get my priorities straightened out) — I missed Friends, the season finale of The Bachelor AND the *N Sync concert special. ::makes mad face::

I found this portion of an article by TV Gal (a P/Joer!) at Project Nookie — hee!

“For me, there are some shows that transcend cancellation. “Dawson’s Creek” shows signs of approaching this special category by the sheer ridiculousness of its plot lines. I had to love that even though the 100th episode was a complete love letter to the Dawson and Joey relationship, Katie Holmes picked a Pacey moment as her personal favorite (Go Katie, Go Katie.). At least Katie remembers that Joey used to love Pacey. But I cannot call for the cancellation of “Dawson’s Creek” because hello I’m not crazy, I want to see Joshua Jackson every week.

Damn, she can read my mind! I couldn’t have said it better myself. I heart TV Gal.

DC’s 100th episode

Talk about disappointment — that’s all I felt while watching Dawson’s Creek’s 100th episode. For an episode that is *supposed* to celebrate what the show has been and where it is going, it truly broke my heart. While the episode itself was fun and cute (although all the MTV cameos drove me crazy), it really was nothing more than a “filler” episode — setting up what can only be D/Jo reunion #56418754.

Once upon a time, this show was about friendships — about Dawson, Joey, Pacey, Jen, Jack and Andie (I kinda missed her). But watching “100 Light Years From Home” made me realize that Dawson and Joey are the only characters that matter. Everyone else is relegated to secondary storyline status. Ugh. I mean, where were all the flashbacks celebrating the 5 years these characters have spent as friends — growing up and learning from each other? Where were Gail, Bessie, Alex, Grams, etc? Why wasn’t this episode in Capeside? Instead, we’re treated to flashbacks of Dawson and Joey — you know, those two crazy kids who can never seem to get their timing right. ::screams::

More ranting —
Jen– My favorite character got shafted – AGAIN! Grr. Do the writers hate Jen or something? The poor girl had like 2 minutes of screen time. Plus, she was sick. What is that about? Michelle Williams is the best actress on this show and they can’t even recognize that and give her a real storyline.

Dawson/Pacey– How in the world did Pacey get so comfortable with Dawson? Don’t get me wrong, I love (and really miss) the friendship between these two — but honestly, I wish their relationship had been developed on screen. That would have been risky story-telling — maybe too risky considering it would have meant acknowledgement of the P/Jo relationship. But it would also have been hopeful, angsty and ultimately satisfying for these two and their fans.

I still love DC, though — it’s like a bad addiction that I can’t get over. lol.

One thing I really loved (and it wasn’t even part of the episode) was Katie Holmes’s pick for her brightest DC moment — the scene in Season 3 when Pacey gave Joey her wall. ::sigh:: I was so happy she chose that one — it’s a P/Jo scene for one but ultimately it’s about friendship and going the extra mile to support your friends. 🙂 Go Katie!

I know, I know — too much DC ranting. ::blush:: Sorry guys. 😛

me giddy – whee!

Whee! My boyfriend and I are celebrating our 3 year anniversary today. 😀 We don’t have any big plans or anything, we’re probably just going to go out for dinner. We just decided to save up money for a trip to Hawaii so I think that’ll be the way we celebrate our big milestone. I’m just so happy right now. ::giddy:: We’ve been through a lot together — starting off as friends helping each other through the craziness of college to now — very much in love! ::sigh:: Sorry for the total sappiness — hee.

Hmmm… I hope everyone is happy that I held it together last night and didn’t go crazy posting my comments on the latest episode of Dawson’s Creek. 😛 I guess I was just expecting the worst so it really wasn’t too bad. Besides, I really enjoy the episodes where we get to see all the characters — even Grams! I love Jen more and more every week (she’s my favorite character, definitely. she just rocks) — her reaction to Grams’s new boyfriend was so hilarious. “Young lady, do you have a boyfriend?” Hee, too funny. I also enjoyed the scene between Dawson and Jen — while I had high hopes for a relationship between them, I’m really glad we didn’t lose these two as friends. I’m still annoyed by Joey and Charlie and Pacey and Audrey but I’m in too good of a mood to elaborate. So whatever. What a great way to lead up to the momentous 100th episode where apparently, nothing new and exciting will happen. Unless you count Dawson proclaiming his love for Joey (for what now? the millionth time?) as new and different. I’m sorry, just blame it on my P/Jo love.

And I’m hearing that Roswell has officially been cancelled. I can’t say I’m really sad about it cause let’s face it, the show hasn’t been too great lately (example: I Married an Alien) but I *will* miss seeing the actors and their characters. I guess I’m just a big old sap like that. 😉

What happened to my favorite show?!?

I hate that the DC writers have had so many opportunities to take these characters into new and fresh directions but instead they waste potential and recycle tired storylines. It’s exasperating, really.

Pacey and Audrey – Were cute but not anymore. Can they please do something else besides have sex? And can someone explain to me why Joey (Joey! the same girl who had a long, intense and romantic relationship with Pacey last season) can be so indifferent towards all the groping and kissing that P/A do in front of her? I mean, ugh. You’d think that the three of them would be a *little* uncomfortable in that situation.

Pacey and Joey – Of course, the one scene these two had together had to be ruined when Joey said that if she wanted to, she could break Charlie’s heart into a million pieces. I just, I don’t know, found that to be in bad taste, especially since she said it to Pacey.

Dawson and Jen – Now *this* is the wasted potential that I’m talking about. These two could have been great — but they ended before they really got a chance to become something. And after witnessing several loving scenes between these two, the writers want me to believe that they had no passion?!? That it was all about comfort sex?!? It’s just lazy writing! Or maybe it’s just the build up towards Dawson and Joey getting back together at the end of the season. Blah blah. (That’s not a spoiler — that’s my speculation).

But really, the thing that incenses (is that too harsh?) me the most is Joey and Charlie. The whole “Joey can change him but Jen can’t” storyline. It’s all Joey, all the time.

The one thing I did like about “Highway to Hell” was that Jack and Jen seem to be getting their friendship back on track. I love these two together — more!

Ok, I know you’re reading this and thinking, “Wow, Kel is really insane. Or obsessed. Probably both.” I know. lol. DC brings out those qualities in me. 😉
