iish 003: how the heck was it?

tmnt18: oh it was super

iish 003: i'm sorry i missed it!

iish 003: give me a quick rundown

tmnt18: So, it's five years later. Dawson has a show about his and his friends young life called "The Creek."

iish 003: *nods*

tmnt18: it has the exact same advertising campaign as the real show, and the same font... la la la la la

tmnt18: Joey is some editor or something, but she lives in new york with her poet boyfriend guy.

iish 003: do they look older?

tmnt18: not really. Pacey has reopened a restaraunt back home in capeside.

tmnt18: Jack and Pacey's brother, doug, the sherriff are dating. Jack is teaching english at, guess where? capeside highschool!

tmnt18: and jen

tmnt18: has a baby

iish 003: i didn't know pacey's brother was gay

iish 003: who's the dad?

tmnt18: well, he wasn't really gay until now.

tmnt18: It really wasn't addressed

tmnt18: but to say that the dad left

iish 003: ah, how convienient

iish 003: the gayness and the deadbeat dad

tmnt18: And Dawson's mother's wedding is what brings the

tmnt18: huh?

iish 003: oh, just that it was a conveinient way of ending the show

tmnt18: Well, dawson's mom's wedding is what brings them all together in capeside.

tmnt18: And what keeps them there...

tmnt18: is...

tmnt18: stop me if you don't want to know

iish 003: no, I DO I DO

iish 003: i just feel bad for making you do a complete runthrough

iish 003: thanks :-)

tmnt18: Jen is fucking dying of, um, well, I guess it isn't important

iish 003: but what about her baby?

tmnt18: but she has her heart, and it doesn't do the blood pumping thing

iish 003: i see

tmnt18: well, that's a problem, right? she loves her kid

tmnt18: and now her friends are all gathering around her.

iish 003: so *lightbulb*, someone will adopt the little baby?

tmnt18: Dawson is angry at himself for his obsession with work, Pacey is sad that he was only out of capeside for a short time.

tmnt18: they are losing one of their best friends, but they are still both totally in love with joey

iish 003: oh boy

tmnt18: big fucking duh. They aren't fighting or anything.

iish 003: drum roll please.......

iish 003: so....

iish 003: ?

tmnt18: Jen has a few touching words of wisdom over piano and strings

iish 003: is she dying dying

iish 003: like right away

tmnt18: like, she was dead a quarter hour before the credits rolled

iish 003: oh wow

iish 003: they were serious about that 'someone will lose their life' thing

tmnt18: so Jack is the god father and wants to take care of Jen's daughter

iish 003: funny how i can imagine this whole thing even though i haven't watched the show in years

iish 003: is grams still alive?

tmnt18: and doug comes around. He has been closeted all this time. Small town sheriff and all.



Yes, she is still alive, but knows that it's not for long.

iish 003: so they are going to parent jen's daughter?

tmnt18: yes

the conclusion, which was, of course perfect, at least for the dawson pacey joey thing (I think that Jen really was the central kehriktyr of the show, and that the D.P.J. thing was secondary her, not the other way around)

iish 003: ah

tmnt18: was the screen changed, in the last five minutes, mind you, to the t.v. show, The Creek, where dawson's character and joey's hook up. She starts quoating, who is it? Sarah Mcglaughlanghalaghn, "But I don't want to wait for our lives to be over."

tmnt18: The dawson and the joey on the tv kiss

tmnt18: We pan out from the tv to see Joey watching, becoming teary eyed,

iish 003: it's actually not sarah mclachlan, i don't know who it is though

tmnt18: I forget who it is

tmnt18: Paula Cole maybe?

iish 003: yes, that's the one

iish 003: so it's dawson?

tmnt18: she moves her hand up, as we pan further out, to wipe a tear away from Pacey's eye...

tmnt18: And the two of them call Dawson to congratulate him on how beautiful his season finale was

tmnt18: It was really lovely.

tmnt18: If you're in to that kind of thing.

iish 003: so it remained unresolved?

tmnt18: But despite often being really sincere, the show never left its sense of ironic disconnection unsolved. No, it was resolved. The real life pacey and joey ended up together, the fictional, tv show joey and dawson ended up together.

tmnt18: Oh

tmnt18: the clencher

tmnt18: Dawson had to prepare for his meeting the next day with Speilberg

iish 003: haha

iish 003: geezus

iish 003: and the ny poet bf?

tmnt18: It was stupid good

tmnt18: oh, dumped pretty early on in to the second hour

tmnt18: I think.

tmnt18: Oh, there was no mention of Andy

iish 003: brilliant ending in it's own way i suppose

tmnt18: and only brief mention of audrey

iish 003: i don't remember my teenage years being this... exciting(?)

tmnt18: Ahh, well. I kind of do.

iish 003: okay, well, i don't remember ever talking the way they do

iish 003: lol

iish 003: (i did laugh out loud)

tmnt18: I like to remember that I did talk that way with my friends.

tmnt18: Though it could just be my imagination

iish 003: thanks for the recap

iish 003: i appreciate it

iish 003: :-)

tmnt18: Any time

iish 003: i am going to bed now...

iish 003: i'll ttysoon...

tmnt18: night.

iish 003: goodnight
