i didn't have a friend like dawson when i was that age

Dawson thinks he and Joey can "transcend" the male/female issue that comes about with the "merging hormones" of 15 year olds. And they talk about it like they're sexual psychologists.


Hey, did anyone notice that at the beginning of Dawson's Creek (or at least for the pilot) the theme song isn't that "I don't wanna wait" song that gets stuck in my head so easily? It's hard for me to imagine this show without that intro. Don't you hate how they're getting rid of intros altogether?! I mean, what is Grey's Anatomy without those emo notes of "Cosy in the Rocket"?

Back to Dawson's Creek. Michelle Williams is on-screen for the first time and I love her. She is as awesome then as she is now. Post Heath Ledger, I can appreciate her even more for her "humble beginnings."


Calling food "orgasmic" is definitely not something I understood as a kid. Just thought I should say that. It's like "I touch myself" by Divinyls, "Sex and Candy" by Marcy Playground, etc. I was clueless.


What kind of a name is Pacey. These names are all so unbelievable.


Oh, VHS tapes. I miss those.


I don't know who sings this song or what it's called, but it's stuck in my head now.


Oh, Dawson. I reject reality, too. It's okay for you to do that, because you're the subject of a teen soap opera, but for those of us in the "real world" (the existence of which I can not actually attest to), that is the makings of a dissatisfied, career-less failure of a life (read: English majors).


Obsessive reality disorder. Is that actually a thing? Well, I think all of us probably create conflict like Dawson does, in different ways. I self-sabotage so I can complain and get attention from those around me.


"I don't covet a religious god, Grams, I'm an atheist." Damn. I wish I could say that to my grandparents with such conviction. But I can't.


And of course, we all looked like that in high school. Actually, setting aside the obvious celebrity attraction of these "beautiful people," they're not exactly perfect. Pacey is cultivating a truly magnificent unibrow. Joey's hair is a little frumpy. And the clothes, oh the clothes. I guess I can forgive them because it's the 90s and that is how things were.


"I have three menstrually diverse sisters, okay. Cosmo is my savior." Bah.


Cosmo is no one's savior. Just saying.


Why is this called Dawson's Creek, anyway? I mean, it's Joey that's always on the creek, back and forth to her sleepovers with Dawson.


Aw, shit. I am such a coward. I would never stand up to an authoritative figure like Miss Jacobs.


I'm glad to know that "wigged out" was a thing in the 90s. Joss Whedon took the language of the decade and made it even more awesome. Lol.


This song will always remind me of Toothless with Kirstie Alley. TEARS


Oh, Dawson, Katie Couric gets me hot too. *NOT*


"Nothing has to change," huh, Dawson? Well, to quote Captain Jack Harkness, "Everything changes."
