Creek Days

For the past few weeks I have been glued to my television watching season after season of Dawson's Creek. I never watched it when it was on the air but I did get caught up in it for a few weeks several years ago while looking for a job. Syndication was my saving grace! So when I finally got a job I was no longer privy to the comings and goings of the teenagers of Capeside. Now being a HUGE fan of Fringe so I have been getting a regular dose of Josh Jackson, but I began to feel nostalgic for young Pacey Witter.


I gotta say that the only saving grace of this show is in fact Josh Jackson. If I could get over the teen angst portrayed, I would say that the show had pretty good actors BUT MY GOD! These kids almost out-Salinger the Salingers and this is coming from a devoted angst watcher of Party of Five. I have never seen so much confusion, angst, teen drama in my life! What the hell did Kevin Williamson think he was doing? Maybe it's because I am like ten years older since I first watched this show, but I am completely blown away by what the writers put these kids through. And the whole Pacey/Dawson/Joey thing was just over done; I mean totally run into the ground. Then of course it became a whole will they/won't they between Pacey and Joey and then enter Dawson yet again. In the background there is Jen who is just 'trying to figure out who she is' and Jack dealing with his whole sexuality issue. Plus I have never seen anyone more of a prude than the Joey character. How does a teenager get so completely undone by even saying the word ‘sex’ when: a – is no longer a virgin, b – has a one night stand with childhood friend, c – has a college roommate who could medal in it if it was an Olympic category, d – has a man a good looking as Oliver Hudson (Eddie) playing her boyfriend, and e – is FRICKIN’ TWENTY YEARS OLD?


Now that I have made it through the last season and have drudged on to the last four episodes and the all important special finale episode, I have decided that I just might have wasted sixt....


OH THANK GOD!!! Pacey and Joey end up together! I am SO happy!! They were always meant for each other and they are just sooooo cute together. :-)



Sidebar: Not only was the Creek the launching spot for my dear Josh but also for several other cuties like Jensen Ackles who is of Dark Angel and Supernatural fame.
