Catch-22

B.A.

Well, it's about time that Pacey got a new job anyhow - that plot was stupid and annoying - except it gave us the opportunity to see Sarah Shahi on the tube.

I thought the episode was okay, nothing great, but I guess it sets up:

Only three weeks to wrap everything up and they have a lot of work to do because these last two weeks haven't been very impressive. Can't wait for the return of Kevin Williamson w/ the finale.

<--loved tonight's ending

Today was definitely a "let's write-out all Boston ties (school, jobs) and Boston characters so we can get to core Capeside stuff" episode

B.A.

Which they needed to do very badly - better late than never.

i hated how they ended pacey's job. it was as if they had no other way for him to get rid of the job and just threw that in. pacey is not so stupid that he'd mangle his boss then and there. especially right after announcing he was broke. dumb as dog poo.


not much of jen
not much of cj
boiler room rip offs left and right (did anyone think that pacey would actually make dawson money?


looks like we'll get no explanation of what happened to emma
eddie and joey break up
jack's break up with short boyfriend
where's grams? (guess you can't have her without jen, though )

did jack used to live with pacey. did they ever explain these two guys leaving emma's? are they still there?

Dawson's Creek nowadays is a total mess.

The "released" plot synopsis wasn't even how the story unfolded.

Bayside? Hehe. Wrong show (Saved By The Bell).

I am guessing Jen dies (though it's a real cheesy plot device to keep the diehards tuning in for the last 3 episodes ever of Dawson's Creek!!!)

B.A.

Oops - my bad. Bayside/Capeside - what's the difference, it's all next to a fictional body of water.

I wasn't sure if i heard the coming attractions right.
I assumed the death would be grams.
They kil off too many poeple on that show.
I don't think its a good way to close the series.

The death is:



More MAjor spoilers

I know: my Tivo guide info said the line about "insider trading" and I was waiting all hour for that plot unfold and it didn't. Usually those Dawson's Creek blurbs contain mega-spoilers. Like a few weeks ago when it mentioned Gram's cancer, snd that wasn't even revealed until about 35 minutes into the episode!

The plot synopsis should never contain info that is not in the first 15 minutes of the show.

briank

yeah I kept waiting for the "insider trading" as well, that's what my guide said as well.
That wasn't insider trading, that was going on PUBLIC information with the hope that it would work out, a "gamble", and it didn't work.
It was Pacey's young stupidity that he put the whole nest egg in one barrell.

I thought the reporter would uncover something further.
You can tell this season of Dawsons is VERY CHOPPY.
You know they had different plans early on.
When he first met the reporter, it was all secretive dealings, and they were setting up Pacey as the "fall guy" with the shady business transactions under the image of rising to the top quickly.
They hinted at the fall and the reporter uncovering some of this.
Then even in this episode the reporter/girlfriend hinted at it, when Pacey was I have to get my friend his money back, she replied well "I may have a solution, will you answer some questions ON THE RECORD". Then the whole story was just bailed.

Re: Major Spoiler:



Hahahahaha!

briank

yup, which is:

Patman

You know, after practically OD-ing on Dawson's Creek (watching the early episodes on TBS this month, 4 episodes/day), they probably should have ended the series once everyone got out of high school.

I still think Pacey is the one with the best arc out of the 4 core characters.

briank

I agree with Pacey's development. However, I'm wondering if they threw him full circle and back to the bottom with this latest episode. Or if he learns another life lesson and rebounds.

Jadzia

I actually liked their first year away at college. This year has been all over the place though.

And I am so sick of Joey! She is so indecisive, she always creates drama for herself and is never happy. And I'm wondering if it's written in Katie Holmes contract that all the male characters have to lavish compliments on her in ever episode:

Dawson: Joey Potter, you are so special
Pacey: Joey you are so amazing
Eddie: Joey you are magnificent

Jeez. The funny thing is "teen dream" Oliver Hudson always spouting off on how she's not good enough for him blah, blah, blah. When in reality he would probably be dating supermodels.

Patman

Last season's freshman college year was okay, but the charm of the setting was gone because it was migrated to Boston and to the west coast, and it just had a different feel to it.

Did they really have to set Grams up with a black man named Mr. Smalls?

bigjim25

I think Jen's hairdresser should die. Some of those dos she had over the years. She is a pretty woman but those hairdos throw her off.

Patman

I was watching the reruns on TBS, and that showed the episode where Joey and Jen go to New York City so Jen could confront her father. I just noticed that Michelle Williams (Jen) would make are good "Katchoo" from a comic book called "Strangers In Paradise" if it was turned into a movie. It's scary how much she looks like the comic book character with her hair longer (near the shoulders).

GuessWho

<---still mad they dropped the storyline where Eve was really Jen's sister -- I wanted Jen to find out

Patman

I wouldn't mind seeing Brittany Daniels back to reprise her role as Eve as well.

B.A.

Definitely...

...and while there at it bring back Sasha Alexander.

Patman

Sasha Alexander...mmmm....(nice rack, even though they were store bought).

AndyCapps

****. I knew they were going to have a Felicity-ish ending. I'm to the point where I don't want to sit through the horrible way they end these shows. I guess I'm still bitter over Jack & Jill.

Geofferson

Watched this episode last night. What a downer of an episode for nearly everyone.
