Tonight we're going to Cry like it's 1998

1998 was an important year for me: it was my first year of HS, at close to the end of the year I met Pete online, and most importantly the best Teen Drama of all time...Dawson's Creek started!!! Hehehe. Well Dawson's Creek survived 6 seasons on the WB, the the drama and teenage angst culminating in the 2 hour Series Finale which just ended. Wow.

The show takes us 5 years in the future when Dawson, Joey, Pacey, Jen, and Jack all are back together in Capeside for Dawson's mom's wedding. (No one else gets married unfortunately :( ) Anyway so they all meet up again: Jack is an english teacher at the HS, is dating Pacey's brother (who is in an in the closet homosexual) ; Jen has a baby about one year old named Amy, is living with Grams in NYC, Joey is an editor in NYC, Pacey runs the local Icehouse Restraunt (formerly owned by Joey's family.); and Dawson is writing and producing a TV teen drama called 'The Creek' about his time in Capeside with the gang.

Ok here's a quick rundown of the action:

Pacey is sleeping with a married woman, the night before the wedding he gets beaten up by her husband. Also at the wedding Jen faints, she is taken to the hospital. Gram's breaks down and tells everyone she has a heart problem (Jen) the doctors can't do anything etc. Dawson and Pacey are still in the love triangle with Joey - she doesn't know who to pick. They all do a ton of soul searching in about 2 hours in the space of a few TV land days, Jen leaves a video for her daughter, Jack asks to raise Jen's daughter, she agrees etc. Jen dies in her sleep with Gram's right in the chair next to her sleeping, as soon as Grams wakes up Jen is already gone - she says to her "I'll see you soon child" - telling that she will also die soon (doesn't happen in the 2 hours though.) Finally Jack's bf comes out of the closet, the show ends with Joey watching the season finale of 'the Creek' but we can't see who is with her. It finally shows that she picked PACEY (YES!!!!!!) He is all teary eyed from the show - they call Dawson and say how great it was etc and it ends.

Ok I gotta go and finish reading as I have been slacking and crying for 2 hours hehe. Ending quote: "I don't wanna wait for our lives to be over..." Thats all folks !
