The Pitch
Dawson and the gang grow a little older. Hints of blossoming sexuality bloom.
The Humans
James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Michelle Williams, Joshua Jackson, Kerr Smith
The Nutshell
Dawson and Joey totally kissed at the end of last season. To the modern kids, this might not seem like much. You guys have your sexting and colored bracelet sex games. But, there used to be a thing called sexual tension in the 1990s. Dawson wasn’t sure what to make of the hot piece of ass that was Joey. She had been a childhood friend, but now she had grown tits. The world was changing, as the second season began.
The Lowdown
Dawson and Joey freak out over the kiss and they spend a lot of time apart. Pacey has to deal with his nutbag dag treating him like a loser. Jen has to deal with being stuck in the middle of New England, while putting up with the bitch Abby. Abby is played by Monica Keena. You might know Monica Keena and her epic rack from such films as Freddy vs. Jason. She played the blonde chick with huge knockers that wasn’t killed by Sirs Krueger and Voorhees.
Dawson’s Creek also grew into new areas, by featuring gay football star Jack. Thrown together with his perky sister Andie, they bring a new dimension to Capeside. They’ve got a sad bastard back-story that involves a missing dad and a nutbag mother. While Andie loses her cool, she helps to bring out a new side of Pacey. Mainly, he stops being a pussy and starts to grab the world by the sack.
Dawson’s parents also start to fuck around. Dawson gets pissed about this, but nobody seems to give a damn. He also starts working on bigger movie projects. Rachel Leigh Cook shows up as a nude model, but it’s nothing to get excited about. The show aired on the WB, so you won’t get to find out of she is all that. One of the Roswell kids show up to put the moves on The Joker’s woman. That lasts a couple of episodes until they shoehorn in Scott Wolf.
This season
marked a subtle decline, as we lost interest in Dawson. Honestly, the
blonde Spielberg wannabe is the least fascinating member of the cast. We can’t really connect with him, since he doesn’t pine for Joey much. It’s all about the slow build of a starfucker that’s trying to escape Capeside. Pacey, Joey and Jen are all real kids that want to do normal kid shit. The only time that Dawson doesn’t get a weirdly stinted scene is when the show tries to find a way to out Jack.
As the second year concludes, one can see that the supporting cast is coming into their own. You can also stage a drinking game based around Katie Holmes and her three facial expressions. If she gives a lop-sided grin, take a shot. If she shrugs, take a shot. If she sighs and looks at the ceiling, have someone call 911. You will probably have gone into shock. When you recover, insert the first disc for Season Three.
The Package
The second season only comes with two commentaries for two mid-season episodes. There’s not a whole lot going in those commentaries. Apparently, the cast was nice and the weather didn’t act up during most of the shoot. If given the chance, the episodes’ respective directors would’ve worked on the show again. Friendships were made, as we begin our move into the third season.
