Creek of the Week: Dawson Schitt's

It’s been a bummer week, and we’ve got a bummer episode.  Separation anxiety is the one that takes place immediately after promicide.  Meaning Pay-Jo have split, Gretchen is about to split, and Grams is bankrupting herself to put Jen through school.  On the bright side, this is two season 4 episodes in a row.  Two […] The post Episode 163 – Separation Anxietwo first appeared on Creek of the Week .

Lao Tzu once wrote: ““A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.” I don’t know what that means, but it would look great in fancy script over a heavily filtered picture of a pretty girl’s back as she leads the cameraman by the hand into the sunset.  Lao Tzu also […] The post Episode 162 – The Two of Dawson first appeared on Creek of the Week .

  Hello Creek of the Weeklings!   The great Stupin, in his infinite wisdom, decided to make the centennial episode of Dawson’s Creek a vacation ep, heavily promoting another WB TV show, and who are we to say if that was a good or bad idea?  Whatever the case, the episode may be dumb, but […] The post Episode 161 – 100 Light Years From Home first appeared on Creek of the Week .

What can we say about Abby Morgan?  She liked to stir the pot, she had a softer side that we’d catch the occasional rare glimpse of, and of course, that she was a dime.  But the star that burns the brightest burns the… burns… the star won’t get burned again.  Cuz she’s dead.  In this […] The post Episode 160 – Abby Morgan R.I.P II first appeared on Creek of the Week .

We’re back again for another randomly selected episode of Dawson’s Creek, and this time we are revisiting a classic from 5th season.  OK, I may be sugarcoating it a bit.  Highway to Hell is a road trip episode, in which Pacey, Audrey, Joey, and everyone’s favorite aggressively mediocre side character Charlie, head to a road […] The post Episode 159 – Highway 2 Hell first appeared on Creek of the W...

What a pleasant surprise to roll up one of the 2 remaining episodes from the first season of Dawson’s Creek that we haven’t watched on this podcast.  Kiss is an episode of firsts.  First kisses for Dawson & Joey (not to each other), and first time being the victim of sexual assault to Pacey.  So […] The post Episode 158 – Kiss first appeared on Creek of the Week .

This is a special Creek of the Week episode, for this week we have a very special guest.  Sean Faust from the What Does It Matter? Podcast joins us for the second time.  In our benevolence, we decided to grant him his choice of episodes, and surprisingly he picked one from season 5.  Though 5th season is […] The post Episode 157 – Cigarette Burns first appeared on Creek of the Week .

Hey Sailors, we’re back with your weekly Creek.  We are finally out of our rut and rolled up a fantastic episode from 4th season.  Two Gentlemen of Capeside begins with Dawson, Joey, and Drue being forced to do a group assignment for class, and ends with Dawson staging a daring marine rescue of Pacey and […] The post Episode 156 – Two Gentlemen of Capeside first appeared on Creek of the Week .

So yeah, we may have fudged the rolls a bit, and it may have taken 3 tries to get it, and it may be 5th, but at least it isn’t 6th season!  VICTORY!  To be honest, we always assumed Something Wilder was a garbage ep, much like Something Wild.  However, we found that, considering the […] The post Episode 155 – Something Wilder first appeared on Creek of the Week .

The strange pattern continues, and we are back to season six. Thankfully we get to watch one of the few from that season that we haven’t seen yet, which brings us to Everything Put Together Falls Apart.   A-plot features Joey and Eddie heading down to bone town, which causes Joey to miss her important […] The post Episode 154 – Everything Put Together Falls Apart first appeared on Creek of the Wee...

Sometimes we watch an episode and don’t see it again for 153 weeks.  Sometimes we knock out a 3-peat in a fiscal quarter.  This episode brings us our third and final viewing of the season 2 finale: Parental Discretion Advised.  It also brings an end to our summer break, so we have plenty to gab about […] The post Episode 153 – Parental Discretion Thrice Advised first appeared on Creek of the Week...

I watched this episode 2 days ago as of this writing.  I can not remember what it was about.  It is the third episode of season 6 and it sets up very little.  Pacey lands a whale at his stock broker job nobody cares about. Jack has a crush on Hot Prof. Joey sends a […] The post Episode 152 – The Importance of Not Being Too Earnest first appeared on Creek of the Week .

A mere 3 episodes ago we saw the aftermath to the mess that is stirred up in this week’s classic.  Such is the nature of our strange experiment.  If you are new to our podcast as of 3 eps ago, you’ll finally get to see what all the fuss was about, why Jack was so […] The post Episode 150 – To Be or Not To Be Two first appeared on Creek of the Week .

It’s no secret that we love the final episode of Dawson’s Creek.  So when we rolled it up, we set aside the distress at having an extra long episode and dove right in.  Unsurprisingly, even though it is our third viewing, we have not grown any less fond of the DC send off.  You know […] The post Episode 149 – All Good Things (Must Come to an End) III first appeared on Creek of the Week .

Some repeats are a bummer, and some we can’t wait to roll again, The All Nighter is definitely the latter.  Not a particularly memorable episode plot-wise, it is one of the more straight up fun Dawson’s Creek episodes on the roster, and I’d hazard to guess even watching it a third time around wouldn’t bum […] The post Episode 148 – The Second All Nighter first appeared on Creek of the Week .

  There aren’t many super iconic episodes that we have yet to watch on this grand experiment we have undertaken, but I feel like That Is The Question is one of them, or at least the 2nd part of a 2 parter that constitutes one arc.  This is the episode immediately following the reading of […] The post Episode 147 – That Is The Question first appeared on Creek of the Week .

In honor of Joey’s homework, this episode synopsis will be written in the style of Jack Kerouac: Wowee-there we were bee-boppin at a Boston College blowout, the tenorman blowing that horn like he couldn’t be stopped!  It was wild man, wild! My buddy Jack was putting the moves on a local professor, while sweet Audrey […] The post Episode 146 – Instant Karma! first appeared on Creek of the Week .

Just as all days must turn to night, and all brains must be eaten, all soulmates must try to bang.  Sometimes it’s after a long, multiple episode arc, thick with storytelling, drama, and emotion.  And sometimes it’s tacked on to the last 5 minutes of a season premiere.  Such as it is with life, I […] The post Episode 145 – The Kids Are Alright first appeared on Creek of the Week .

Merry Christmas everybody!  This week we rolled a doozy, Merry Mayhem finds the gang (except Jack) back in Capeside where everyone (except Jack) are dealing with their own personal issues, but in a big family setting (minus Jack).  Pacey’s rich now and lording it over his brother.  Joey is dating Eddie, and he’s weirdly afraid […] The post Episode 144 – Merry Mayhem first appeared on Creek of the...

Imagine if you will.  You’re in the final season of a beloved TV show.  The show is in a bit of a slump, story-wise, but you’ve just managed to nail a home run episode reuniting two characters with enough chemistry to make Walter White jealous, ending on a will-they-won’t-they cliffhanger.  How do you follow up? […] The post Episode 143 – That Was Then (but this is That Was Then, again) first appe...

When we first watched Castaways we had to force it via a dealer’s choice roll.   Sometimes, however, the stars align and magic happens on its own, which is the case this week.  For those who don’t know (and I would wonder why you are listening to this), Castaways is an episode in which Pacey […] The post Ep 142 – Castaways 2: Return to K-Mart Island first appeared on Creek of the Week .

Another week, another creek, and this time it’s a recently-viewed classic.  It was less than ten episodes that we watched the season 2 finale, but we’re here again to give it another once over.  There are fires, there is assault on a law enforcement officer, there is cocaine, there are suicidal thoughts, there are deep, […] The post Episode 141 – Parental Discretion Advised Again first appeared on...

The awful season 5 streak has ended and delivered us back into the waiting arms of 2nd season.  The 2nd episode of the 2nd season as a matter of fact.  Cross roads finds the gang at, well… Pacey is sick of being the sidekick and wants his own story line.  Dawson and Joey have their […] The post Episode 140 – Crossroads first appeared on Creek of the Week .

Well gang, you ever go on a multi-week bender of drugs an alcohol, where you stay stoned out of your gourd for weeks on end, living in euphoric nirvana, uncaring of the world outside of your own chemically-induced playground? No? Just me? Well one day you have to either die or get clean, and the […] The post Episode 139 – The Bostonians Round 2 first appeared on Creek of the Week .
