i would say the show has influenced me to think that there will always
be a sole mate in our lives in one way or another and that the friend
we however how far we may be apart we will always be close

I think that DC helped me develop a context for understanding American
popular youth culture in the late 1990s. The clever, even smart ass,
ironic diologue was only a slight exageration of the way we actually
talked back in those days. Young people spoke with an ironic
disconnection and overanalysis of their own lives and actions that
teetered on the brink of narcicism. While, as a generation, we
thought we were doing this as a defense mechanism, on some deep level,
protecting us from emotions that we didn't understand, it left us cold
when real emotion hit. So after practicing overanalyzing our every
heartbeat, and remaining essentially cold to everything, when we felt
something as young adults TOTALLY real, it was an overwhelming shock.
Better than any show, Dawson's creek was able to capture this mood,
capture this code of youth language and interaction, with each other
and with a clearly stupider adult world.
It represented a time in our history that is already gone, for better
or for worse.
