Conclusion To Everything

September 15, 2006

I started this whole summer of DC thing because I thought I was going to be really depressed and needed the support (DC really does mean a lot to me for reasons I have discussed with my friends and probably the wider world on my blog). What I found this summer was a job I liked and so it wasn’t as bad I as expected.

Still it was nice to get to see all the episodes and to see how it all ends. My timing worked out great. I move back tomorrow so I watched the last disc or so like today but there were lull and full on periods over the entire summer. All in all I think it worked out roughly along the timetable I originally thought, spreading it all out over the entire summer.

As for the show, it’s amazing. The ending? Yeah, it was great. Quite shocking. I mean, Jen actually died. It was interesting to see it leap into the future and not be some kind of dream or something.

Joey and Pacey ending up together. I didn’t think there was much foreground for that. Is it ok then ended up together? I guess so although Dawson and Joey are the real soulmates. I think I wish Dawson and Pacey had been a back on great “best friend” terms as well but it’s all good. It really was a beautiful ending.

So this is it, done. Chris signing off. The blog has been more for me than anyone else. I enjoyed keeping it and charting the events. It’s been an amazing ride and I hope you all enjoy the show as much as I do.


Conclusion to season 6

September 15, 2006

Wow, powerful series. I hadn’t seen the end episodes so it was great to see stuff that I hadn’t witnessed before. It was powerful stuff too, I had lumps in my throat at the end of several of the later episodes. All in all it was a good series.

At the end they concentrated on what it’s all about. The five friends. As much as Audrey is cool and all, I don’t feel like she is a main character. She was in it for two years which was a third of it but still it just didn’t feel right. And Andie coming back but only at the end was nice because really it’s all about Dawson, Pacey, Joey, Jen and Jack.


Conclusion to season 5

August 29, 2006

Great season. Everything is changing but then again everyone moved to Boston. I feel it was a season where people really followed their hearts which was really nice.


Conclusion to season 4

August 17, 2006

It’s been a good season. It’s back on track as classic creek. There has been some serious emotional weight behind some of the episodes and plenty of character development. The show is refining, getting down to the core and though there has been a lot of tension and uneas, a lot of it was patched up by the end. And now everyone is going away to college, will they ever see each other again? :( . Well, yes :) .


Conclusion to season 3

August 4, 2006

It’s been an interesting season. Though there has been a lot of hurt in it. I hate the rift between Dawson and Pacey, they make such good friends and it’s awful to see them torn apart. Things have been moving pretty fast though, a lot of what happened this season I didn’t think happened so early on in this show. Still that just leads to a higher action-package rate so it’s all good.


Conclusion to season 2

July 15, 2006

Here already. Let’s talk schedule. I think I’m on track. Today is half way through the month so at this rate I should be ok. If I’m watching a series per half a month I will finish just before I go back. I’d like to create a little buffer though.

Season 2 was good, I enjoyed it more than I remember. And there were some massively emotional episodes, indeed the one I just watched was heavy. Pacey and his dad was brilliant.


Conclusion to season 1

June 28, 2006

It’s a classic season. The first of any show is usually arguably the best as although they aren’t too big on funding, that could also been seen as an advantage as it’s all about the creative and general lack of corruption that comes from success.

I do love season 1 though it has a lot of classic episodes and I feel it has a yellow-orange-y mise en scene throughout whereas with season 2 you are thrown straight into spring, season 1 has a kind of endless summer feel. These moods being reflected in the boxset artwork.

Short and sweet sums it up I think.

I've created a blog to log my DC summer marathon in which I intend to watch every episode in chronological order. But I couldn't be bothered to maintain a blog such I'm just using a hosted service.
