r/dawsonscreek

Dont get me wrong, i always feel very very sad when sad things happens and even get teary eyed but this was something different. The raw performance of Jack screaming at his father and crying on the stairs is so so emotional. I was crying so much my nose became stomped up. Two gay men wrote this episode and you can absolutely feel their experiences in this episode. It was so so powerful and if you didnt feel even a tad bit emotional by it then you must be heartless bc wow. So beautiful. They quite literally dont make tv shows like this anymore. The fact that they were able to have such a well written and executed gay coming out story in the 90s is just amazing. Definitely the best coming out i have ever seen before. Jack deserves SO much better.

I know what happens in the series finale. I do not want to get heartbroken by watching it happen so i just want to have a happy ending and have my own headcanon that everybody is alive and happy.

I was really into Dawson's creek 20ish years ago. Especially the first season. It's just a personal opinion, and I'm sure Jen (Michelle Williams) is a good actress. But to me, she always felt like a bad pick for the role. I wondered if anyone shared the same feeling. I just didn't feel like her acting or character fit in.

But in another way, because it's so nostalgic for me, maybe in some way she is the best pick. idk.

I'm curious other peoples thoughts. Especially your first reactions.

My wife and I are binging the show for the first time, and during Season 2 my favorite character was Andie McPhee. She had a brilliant character arc >!with Pacey where she helped him grow up and he helped her battle mental illness!<. Now in Season 3, she does all these horrible things out of the blue that are completely out of character for her. Was all this necessary to >!get Pacey and Joey together?!<I mean they didn't turn Dawson into a troll, though he makes some odd choices as well, >!particularly with Eve.!<

The finale…. Wtf 😭

I’m 30 so it was a little before my time when it first came out but I was needing some early 2000s nostalgia so I finally watched it and I can’t believe they ended it that way 😭

I had never seen any spoilers for the show so Jenn shocked me!!

And I'm pretty sure I saw Dawson's quilt in the bedroom with the voice of god. Can anyone confirm?

Too bad I was watching the season 6 but now it’s impossible.

Depending on your age and location T4 may mean nothing to you in terms of Dawsons Creek but some it may bring back memories. T4 ran on Saturdays and Sunday and tended to show Teenage content including DC, I would often watch it on Sunday after the Hollyoaks omnibus. Were you of an age where you would have a similar routine?

Dawsons Creek is my absolute favorite show of all time. I’m sure if you’re part of the sub you probably feel similarly to me.

I’m looking for recommendations of other shows that you think I would love since I absolutely adore this show.

For someone who is kind of stuck in the 90s, I haven’t seen a lot of 90s TV shows so even throw obvious choices at me!

I dont like main characters dying, especially not in the series finale. Knowing what happens before i even start the show makes me feel like theres no point in even caring about this character bc shes just going to end up dead. What should i do?

Ive always been curious why she was killed off? And why did her mother ask Andie of all people to say the eulogy?

>!In the first and other viewings of the show I always thought S3 was the worst season. I thought for the longest time Dawson was unfairly treated and maligned, I think it is because when I was younger I wanted to be like Dawson, it had an impact on the way I saw film in a massive way and still does from a creative POV. I also often thought he was that nice guy, the guy who only wanted to do the right thing, to be a chivalry gentlemen but on further looking I know realise how wrong I was.!<

>!I know what is going to happen next (I am just at the point where Pacey just kissed Joey) and I remember how much a d**k Dawson is. I do still think he redeems himself in S4 in a lot of ways but S3 has made me realise how wrong he was with Joey not just in S3 but other seasons as well and in hindsight I am glad Joey had Pacey.!<

So yeah, you live, you learn, you grow up.

Calling out to my fellow chronically online millennials and xennials who were around in the days of the Project Nookie and Pages of True Love forums...

I'm seeking a nostalgia hit from the songs we were all OBSESSED with around P/J at the time. All the playlists on Spotify are newer music and I'm like no, I want the OG stuff.

Now there's the obvious ones - that were on the show. Like:

- Hold On and Daydream Believer by Mary-Beth

- In Your Keeping by Jann Arden

- This Year's Love by David Gray

- Promise Me This by Pancho's Lament

- Days Like These by Janis Ian

- My Invitation by Sarah Slean

BUT in the fandom at the time there were HEAPS of P/J coded songs we loved and I'm struggling to think of them all. Songs like:

- Hands Down by Dashboard Confessional

- The Best of Me by The Starting Line

- Wild Heart of the Young by Karla Bonoff

- Everything by Lifehouse

There are SO many more and my mind is drawing an absolute blank. They were all so angsty and romantic and fitted the vibe of an emo romantic teenager girl in the early 00's. There were SO many great songs and I just want to listen again and feel like a teenager, instead of a tired middle aged single mother 🤣

So please help me out, give me all the OG P/J coded songs so I can create the ultimate nostalgia playlist...

It is crazy how many actors from Dawson's Creek were on Criminal Minds and tbh, I love that.

- Meredith Monroe played Haley on CM and Andie on DC
- James Van Der Beek was Tobias on CM and Dawson on DC
- Kerr Smith was >!suspected to be "The Mad Butcher of Bakersfield" !<and Jack on DC
- Mary-Margaret Humes was that woman in prison who killed her husband and kids and whom Hotch and Rossi were asked to evaluate for battered woman syndrome annd was Gail Leery, Dawson's mother, on DC
- Jane Lynch was Spencer Reid's mother on CM and Pacey Witter's mother on Dawson's Creek (albeit many people forget she was on DC at all)

I think they were all great but JVD and MMH really stood out in their episodes and Tobias>! is still my favourite unsub!<.

Anyone with film industry info have any insider info on happy hours and when it might be released? I know it wasn’t a critic favorite at Tribeca but it certainly had a crazy amount of fan support! I of course loved it for Katie and Josh but can absolutely recognize it’s not an Oscar worthy contender. But at the same time, I have seen far, far, FAR worse on all the streaming services. Just seemed like it got amazing buzz and now radio silence. Anyone have any info?

I had this thought from since Season 1 when I see he was used for a good comic relief but I knew it had to be some more reasons why he’s my favorite character. After watching his birthday episode in Season 4 I felt bad for him because with the exception of Gretchen his family is trash, I expected Doug to be slightly better in that episode but I guess not. I could relate so much to that because I’ve dealt with my fair share of family drama. Seeing Pacey go off on his family after they ridicule him at his own birthday party was satisfying to see, I legit was saying Get them Pacey” when he did that. How tf his other sister gone get him an array know he’s not a smoker smh. That was silly and then his mom making food he clearly doesn’t like.
