I know this isn't controversial but I had to say I love the way their storyline is going as best friends. And I know this might seem weird but I kinda wish they had gone through with it at the senior ski trip and became like friends with benefits or something like that 😂 because they're both hot, funny, have strong personalities and great chemistry. But I know that could've taken a toll on their friendship so yeah. They're so special though
Quanta diferenca entre o primeiro beijo na 1temp ep10 e 3temp ep18. No primeiro ela estava 100% envolvida emocionamente com Dawson e logo rejeitou o beijo. Ja na outra cena ela se entrega ao momento e só depois percebe as consequências desse beijo. Eu simplesmente sou apaixonada pelo jeito que construiram o relacionamento deles. Ok que a 5temp eles fingem que nada disso aconteceu mas eu amo esse processo do inicio...
I don’t know if he’s gonna get even better or worse, but I am enjoying this new version of Dawson better than any other. He seems so much more mature, calm, accepting of everything and everyone but at the same time firm and decisive of his wills and his path. Even with his doubts about college and all, he doesn’t go into those major existential crisis and make everything about him him him. This is definitely the best I’ve seen of him.
I rewatched this one last night and decided to write about my likes/dislikes for it since this episode is sort of a fan favorite. Obviously these are just my opinions, I respect opposing viewpoints.
Thoughts:
- I still think it is slightly overrated, that said I will grant it is probably the best overall episode of S6.
- I think of the 46 college episodes, only two capture the ‘magic’ of seasons 1-4. This one, and Hotel New Hampshire from S5.
- I appreciated the fact this one focused on just Pacey and Joey so conversations could finally breathe a little.
- This episode comes too quickly after Joey’s Eddie journey. They said their goodbyes two episodes prior and it is something that drives me crazy about S5 & 6 how everything is dropped instantly once a plot line closes. Eddie is briefly brought up and Joey literally is like I’m fine with it (so much for telling him you love him I guess).
- I feel bad for ‘George,’ the Kmart employee who has to close and then open the next day. The struggle is real, amirite?
- I like how this episode is an homage to the 80s movie ‘Career Opportunities’ (Jennifer Connelly looks gorgeous in that btw)
- The Boston police are apparently the most negligent force on the planet unable to rescue them from the store in 8 hours.
- I think Pacey’s explanation of how wanting Joey is sort of ‘white noise’ always there for him is realistic from a man’s perspective.
- Seeing them look at DVDs makes me want to shed a tear for simpler times.
- The best line in the entire episode is after Pacey kisses her and she says what was that and he goes “remember how you said you were willing to be surprised by the future? Surprise.”
Anyway, I’m gonna go shave now and watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
What do you all like/dislike about this one?
I'll admit, I sometimes put a little to much thought into this show. I always wished the writers would have allowed this scene to finish. I know how I'd finish Joey's sentence but I would love to hear how others think she completes this line.
Pacey: So you're off the hook.
Joey: You know, for the record, I don't want to be let off the hook...
Pacey: Ok...I think you were maybe just about to say something really important.
Joey: Pacey... I realize...
Feel free to share your thoughts!
I know that most are on the same page about this but how did Pacey and Joey not do it on the boat. I was dying for some action 😂 and they have so much chemistry that I was sure they would have done it in those two months. Leaving personal expectations aside, I think that made the show a little bit unrealistic because what are the actual odds two people in that same situation who are madly in love wouldn’t? And I also think that this might have been the writer’s attempt to drag the storyline on her losing her … longer in the show which is just weird. They don’t have any problems with other characters doing it, just Dawson and Joey have to be spared somehow? Maybe I’m reading too much into it
I am still in season 3 but I am utterly surprised with how much masculinity this man exhales. There are so many male characters in other shows that get praise, which they deserve, but Pacey doesn’t get enough. He is extremely fun to be around, he is witty, always knows the right thing to say, has the sexiest look and body language I’ve ever seen on screen, and looks like a great kisser/someone who CAN make out. He’s great with kids. He’s sensitive but masculine and bossy in a super attractive way but never demeaning. All that while he looks like he’s not even trying. I would have broke so fast if I were Joey 🤷🏼♀️
I just finished rewatching this episode and I had forgotten how much of a train wreck it is. Where do I begin?
- The entire thing is a 42 minute No Doubt commercial, so shameless in its promotion you practically expect the cast to all stare into the camera at the end and say “buy the CD kids!”
- Speaking of which, lucky Todd had 10 free tickets to the concert, the exact number of passes needed for our principal cast to bring their friends and significant others!
- It is revealed that CJ slept with Audrey, which is in the running for one of the most laugh-inducing unrealistic things this show has ever done. Keep in mind in the episode before this one, CJ sees Audrey insult all her friends, smash bottles, kick beer mugs, and drunkenly stumble around a curb outside and thinks to himself ‘now this girl is a catch!’ WHAT?!?!
It is established CJ is a boy scout type, wanting to help people through addictions. I didn’t realize this included women in bed too, WTF. Jen has a crush on him and he’s like no thanks, your hammered friend who is a complete mess is enchanting! It is so unmotivated and out of nowhere it would be like Dawson nudging Pacey and asking for a crack at Ms. Jacobs in S1.
Oh well, as bad as it is, at least this one didn’t have a computer generated shot of Joey and Eddie watching the concert from the rafters. Just kidding, it has that too.
By the way, I passionately dislike the jackets both Eddie and Joey wear in this one. Eddie looks like Marty McFly from Back To The Future about to step inside a time machine and Joey looks like Carmen San Diego (google it).
I HATE this episode so much I want to smoke a cigarette right now, but CJ would probably think I was making a mistake so I guess I’ll just go up into the attic and see if I can find my old No Doubt CDs.
No spoilers cause I’m only finishing season 3 now
I’m still on season 3 so idk what happens after that but I enjoy them together and I think Jen deserved a love like Henry’s, his behavior doesn’t seem bad at all for a freshman
