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!

  1. Super shocked at ruben. why is josh still there. Being a marine does not automatically make him an american idol. HE CANT SING!
    I want Kimberly or Clay to win 😀

    Anyways i havent seen the episode yet either but read it anyways and CANT WAIT till tomorrow.

    remember the dcblog? 😛

  2. I as well was shocked about Ruben…he’s been my choice all along.

    I loved the Jack/Jen/Grams storyline as well…I for one haven’t been big on Jackers as of late, so seeing him so damn lovable again was a nice chance of pace. And probably exactly what I needed to feel for him before the finale! 😉

  3. the whole dawson/pacey argument- didn’t follow that at all. damn joey roots…so very distracting.

  4. I was thinking the exact same thing about Joey’s hair the whole time. I always look at it every episode and the roots just keep growing out and her hair was all wavy. And i thought eww. lol.

  5. Heh, everyone seems to have problems with Joey’s hair. Me included, but then again, I try not to look at it too much.

  6. I was soooo shocked. His performance almsot made me cry in a good way. *sigh* Thank goodness he’s still in. And Clay was simply fantastic. <3333 I'm in love! 😀

  7. Kel, hon! Long time no talk. Well, I’m back online [hopefully with more time]. Love the DC version. Especially the PJ clips *sigh* Anyways, yeah, I agree with you on American Idol. I’m not liking it as much because there’s no remaining contestants there that attracts me. Kelly Clarkson hit me, she really seems like the perfect a American Idol. But, these people. I don’t know. They’re just not "umphing" with me. 🙂

  8. I totally agree about Katie Holmes hair. She is such a pretty girl…why does her hair have to like like crap?!?

    I, too, loved the Jen, Jack, Grams scene. It was so cute.

    Thanks for the comments on my blog and domain layout!
