Never saw that one coming. <\/p>\n<p>And can I just say that Katie Holmes&#8217;s hair looks awful. It&#8217;s all 2-toned &#8212; 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&#8217;s really distracting. Anyway&#8230; my thoughts on tonight&#8217;s episode of <i>Dawson&#8217;s Creek<\/i>, &#8220;Goodbye Yellow Brick Road&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Finally! We are getting to the good stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Dawson and Joey: I loved the return of the ladder &#8212; I really loved their quirky friendship in season 1 (sleeping in each other&#8217;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 &#8220;The Song Remains the Same.&#8221; I really do think that the show is primarily about them and the place they have in each other&#8217;s lives &#8212; and it seems like they&#8217;ve finally gotten past their romantic issues and are able to be just friends.<\/p>\n<p>Pacey and Joey: When their scene first started, I was annoyed with KH&#8217;s delivery of the lines &#8212; 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 &#8220;loser&#8221; and get all negative and depressed. Loved Joey&#8217;s little squeeze at the end&#8230; very reminiscent of &#8220;Like A Virgin.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dawson and Pacey: I&#8217;m one of the few DC fans who actually *sees* the friendship between these two &#8212; so to see them fight AGAIN, just made me so sad. I don&#8217;t see how I could pick a side &#8212; 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&#8217;t listen. But was it just me or was the fight scene a little&#8230; off. Joey&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Jack\/Jen\/Grams: The best part of the episode for me! Can I love these 3 anymore than I already do? \ud83d\ude00 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. <\/p>\n<p>And the PROMOS! Agh!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Was anyone else stunned when Ryan Seacrest announced that Ruben was in the bottom 2 on American Idol? Never saw that one coming.
