*sob*
Mazzie, I’m over on the West Coast so it hasn’t aired yet! LOL! But I definitely will blog right after I stop bawling. 😉

top 10 creek moments
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.
90210
I was totally looking forward to the 90210 Reunion Special today — and I have to say I’m a bit disappointed. It was way too nice and schmaltzy or something. I wanted to hear about the DRAMA! 😀 I did like all the clips they showed from the very beginning and omg — the hair! and the clothes! So AWFUL. I can’t believe I used to think this show was trendy. Oy.
Some observations: It was weird that they seated Shannen, Luke and Jennie in the middle couch. I know they were like the original love triangle and all (Dylan/Brenda forever! *ahem*) but I always thought that Brandon and Brenda were the “main” characters. Ooooh, I’ve heard rumors that Shannen and Jennie don’t like each other and I never really believed it until today — throughout the entire special, they never once looked directly at the other. And in the beginning, when everyone first arrived and they were all hugging, the two of them hugged for like 2 seconds without making eye contact at all. Gotta love real life drama. And not to be completely shallow or anything, but gawd, Jennie Garth looks so much better now than she ever did on the show — in all the clips they showed of her as Kelly, she was so pale, it was scary.
So now I have this 90210 itch — too bad FX only shows the reruns on Saturday mornings from 7-10am. And I think they’re showing the season when Donna is auditioning for the Tournament of Roses parade. Yawn. I’ll have to start taping the episodes when they’re in high school — those are classic.
joey potter and the capeside redemption
*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*
WTH?!?
Now that I’ve actually, you know, *seen* the Alias season finale, I can now openly say — WTH was that?!? The first hour and 55 minutes were amazing, suspenseful, pretty much every adjective under the sun — but the last 5 minutes were mind-blowing. It’s been over for almost 2 hours and I can’t stop thinking about it — gah. The season 3 premiere cannot get here soon enough! Okay, I have to stop obsessing — I have work tomorrow! I need to get to bed. Geesh. Good night.
x2 — eeeee!
So I loved X2. I don’t really know anything about comic canon, though. My exposure to X-Men prior to the movies come from the Saturday morning X-Men cartoon that used to be on TV when I was in high school. I have no idea how close the cartoon was to actual comic canon — but I am familiar with the most of the characters, the relationships and the more popular story arcs, particularly the one at the end of the movie, which has me hoping for an X3. 😉 (Does anyone know if anyone from the cast has signed for a third movie?) The movie is just beautiful to watch, especially the beginning sequence with Nightcrawler. Just WOW. After that alone, I knew the movie would be better than the first. My only real disappointment is the limited roles of Cyclops (James Marsden) and Rogue (Anna Paquin). I love those two. Anyway, I *think* I’m even going to watch it again tomorrow — well, actually today since it’s 3 in the morning. Too much pent up energy, can’t sleep, hee.
Also, the previews were pretty interesting — I sorta want to see Hollywood Homicide (Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett – yowzers!) and Stuck On You (bwah! Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear in a Farrelly brothers movie? Funny stuff!). But omg, The Hulk trailer had me laughing — seriously. It’s not that the story looks bad or anything — it’s the Hulk himself! The cgi looks positively awful. I can’t take the movie seriously — it’s that bad. The Hulk doesn’t blend well with the movie at all. He sticks out like an eyesore. I think the majority of the the people in the theater were snickering at the trailer. That can’t be a good sign. Oy.
Oh dear, I *try* to stay unspoiled for Alias but my damn curiosity got the better of me. I knew the wildfeed had already aired so I went scouring for spoilers. I really wish I hadn’t done that. I just ruined the entire finale for myself! Gah. ::pounds head onto desk:: Oh well, I’m still looking forward to watching it. 🙂
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…
eeeeeeeeeee!
Rob bought me the Cookie Monster and Elmo Potato Sack Racers. 🙂 I can’t stop smiling. I just put batteries in them and it is so much fun to watch them race. Elmo says “Get out of my way!” and Cookie Monster says “Monster coming through!” Hee.
And YES, I do realize that I’m 23 and much too old for these toys. But they’re so. much. FUN.
In other news, I totally forgot there was a new Smallville tonight. Last season, I loved this show — this season is kind of… eh. I can take it or leave it, especially since I’m not too fond of the Clark/Lana/Chloe triangle or the Lex/Helen relationship. At least there’s a rerun on Sunday so I can watch it for the sake of watching it.
Eeee, still giddy about my Sesame Street Potato Sack Racers. 😀
my new obsession?
omg, Everwood was SO. GOOD. tonight. Anybody who doesn’t watch it, NEEDS TO. I’m serious. The characters are all lovable and their interactions with each other are so real. And to think this show was created by former Dawson’s Creek exec producer, Greg Berlanti. Anyway, I know Alie won’t see it for a few more days so I’ll only say this… AMY, what is WRONG with you?!? Gah, she needs a double dose of reality. Stat.
I also caught the episode of 7th Heaven — don’t like the show but it seems the WB did a fabulous job of advertising it, because I seriously felt compelled to watch it if only to see the cameos by Jessica Biel and Barry Watson. But really, after about 5 minutes, I was reminded why I don’t watch the show. It’s just way too saccharine and cheesy for me. And I usually looove cheese (see my love for DC). I had a few minor clothing issues — Mary wore her flight attendant outfit to the wedding and Matt wore jeans to give Lucy away. Come on, people! Tell me that’s not strange.
