Last week I discussed "Dawson's Creek" as I anticipated the series
finale...having the watched the final two shows this week, I decided this week to bring back the topic because quite frankly because it was FUCKING TERRIBLE.



Here's a little background for you, the show was fully anticipating a 7th season to begin in the fall of 2003 and had written the season finale with Joey going to Europe for the summer and Dawson having filmed his movie. However, a few weeks before the show was set to air they got a call from the WB Network that the series was being cancelled and they had to wrap up the series. Suddenly a 2-hour series finale had to be written and what the creative genius' at the show came up with, was 2-hours of head scratching, non sensical, throw your TV through the window anger.



First of all the show is suddenly 5-years into the future (yet 1-week ago we saw them all in their 2nd year of College). Dawson is in Hollywood where he is producing a weekly show called "The Creek" and we are subjected to a ridiculous scene of a writers meeting where they are debating whether Joey should get together with Dawson or Jack at the end of Season 1, it was so lame. One funny part is that on the way to the meeting, Dawson's assistant mentions that they cannot say "masturbation" on the air and instead can say "walking the dog", which was actually true and said in Season 1 (I'm hardcore folks).



Joey is living in New York as a book editor and continuing with her legs open approach to any male that moves and is with a new dude, who has written a book. The opening scene sees the boyfriend tear apart "The Creek" and say it's a mindless show that is destined for a life of syndicaton (hmm...are the writer's upset with the network?)



Jack is a high school teacher at Capeside High, and remember Pacey's brother Doug the cop? Yeah he's now gay all of a sudden and dating Jack. Made no sense at all!!



Pacey...what was Pacey doing? Oh yeah, he now owns the Ice House restaurant (the one that Joey's Dad torched during a drug deal gone awry). He's also sleeping with a married waitress.



Finally, there is Jen Lindley, who shows up at Capeside to meet Jack with her 1-year old daughter.

The scene is set and the gang meets for drinks at the Ice House where
everyone gets loaded but in the world of Capeside, even drunk leads to philosophical debate. The worst was when all the members are going around the table saying "Remember when..." (insert memory) and Jen brings up having sex with Dawson and then starts laughing and saying "Remember when I got knocked up and the father left me?", it was such bad writing to get viewers caught up to speed and no originality could be found in this episode at all.



The first hour show was one of the worst I have ever seen in my life, in fact it was so bad they brought back original writer Kevin Williamson to write the 2nd hour (he left after Season 2).

Now I'm not saying the second hour was much better. It begins with Jen fainting on the dance floor at Gail's wedding (Dawson's mom to some faceless dude, who never spoke a word, but the wedding gave a reason for everyone to come home).

Anyway, in the absolute worst storyline ever, it is discovered that Jen HAS A HEART CONDITION DATING BACK 15-YEARS!!! What is the condition you ask? A left pumlonoary blockage of blood to the heart, I was losing my mind (but at least I knew inside my head there was something there, unlike whoever came up with this plot and didn't even bother to open a fucking text book).

You see I decided to do some research and the pulmonary artery DOESN'T EVEN TRANSFER BLOOD TO THE HEART, it pumps blood FROM the heart and if there was a blockage YOU AREN'T GOING TO SURVIVE FOR 15 FUCKING YEARS YOU GOD DAMN MORONS!



So their best friend is dying, but oh well...Pacey and Dawson realize they still love Joey and go all out one last time.



Dawson can't think of how to end Season 1 of "The Creek"

Doug is afraid to be close to Jack in public.

JOPO wants this bloody series to be over with.

Joey chooses Pacey.

Jen dies.

Doug kisses Jack.

Dawson's ending to Season 1?

The Joey character walks into Dawson's bed room and asks him what is
happening? She then says the line of all lines "Dawson...I don't want to wait for our lives to be over, I want to know right now, what will it be?" and that quote by Paula Cole officially ended this series for me.

We then heard some Jewel and and end credits.

WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP TO END THE SERIES!
