Finally! A new episode of Dawson’s Creek<\/i>. Well, let’s just say it had my emotions flying all over the place. Happy, sad, nostalgic, angry, frustrated — that was me during the episode. I’m just going to write some random comments because, seriously, coherent thoughts escape me<\/p>\n
1. I *hated, hated, hated* Joey’s self-involved voiceover at the beginning. That “kiddie” voice that Katie Holmes has been using this season is really grating. She sounds like a 6-year old.<\/p>\n
2. I don’t much like Joey and Eddie as a couple but I will say that I thought it was incredibly cute when he surprised her in Capeside with the Christmas tree. Aww. Speaking of Capeside, I really miss it. The show just feels right there — with the docks and the creek shining in the background. ::sigh::<\/i><\/p>\n
3. I can’t believe Mike Potter’s appearance during Christmas wasn’t made into a bigger storyline — I was expecting a bit more than Joey mentioning it in passing to Audrey. Last year, the writers dropped the ball when they had Joey visit her dad offscreen. I mean, that would have been a big deal for her! It was the first time she would have seen him since she sent him to jail and it took place offscreen. Gah.<\/p>\n
4. I didn’t like Mr. Potter’s insinuations that not going to college somehow makes you less of a person. That’s just a wrong lesson to teach.<\/p>\n
5. Yay for appearances by Bessie, Bodie, Doug, Gale and Grams! Too bad Doug was the only one who was allowed to talk.<\/p>\n
6. I usually like Todd and his insane remarks but his version of grace was just — way out there.<\/p>\n
7. I think I’m the only person in the world who actually liked Dawson and Natasha so I’m kinda sad to see her go. I thought she was good for Dawson *because* they weren’t in a committed relationship. They were all fun and barely any angst — which is a novelty on this show. Besides, I actually like Dawson and I don’t want to see him brooding over Joey anymore. Let the boy smile!<\/p>\n
8. It was great to see Doug again — oh, how I’ve missed you! But really, what was up with his hair? It was awful, lol. Anyway, I can see both sides to Doug and Pacey’s argument. I think Doug has always shown that underneath the teasing, he really cares about Pacey. So I didn’t see his comments as being critical or judgmental — just honest. He’s concerned that Pacey’s letting money get the better of him. But he lost me when he said that being a chef is somehow noble. I don’t really see why that would better occupation than being a stockbroker.<\/p>\n
9. Audrey’s rant — she hit on a lot of interesting points. Dawson and Joey never dealt with the fall out of their impending relationship. But sometimes that’s the way it is — you just have to pick up the pieces by yourself and move on. What else — oh, Dawson and Pacey may not actually have had scenes together this season but I don’t think that these two hate each other. I’d like to believe that they don’t, at least. People grow up and go their separate ways all the time. It’s a matter of circumstance. Lastly, the P\/Jo bones they threw in there are really more insulting than anything else. I may be a shipper but I’m not delusional. They really don’t have an effect on me if the two characters don’t even speak a word to each other during the entire episode.<\/p>\n
10. Poor Jen. First, Audrey humiliates her at the dinner table and then she snaps at her when she goes to check on the drunken girl. Grr. <\/p>\n
11. Kinda liked the D\/Jo scene at the end. It said it all — these two are best when they’re friends.<\/p>\n
12. I can’t believe Pacey is going to take the heat for Audrey’s drunken mishap. She’ll never learn if she always gets handed the easy way out. Stupid Pacey.<\/p>\n
That said, this was probably one of the better episodes this season. ::shakes head::<\/i> Ok, rant over. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
