**warning Dawson's Creek series finale spoilers***



"The simple act of me loving you is enough for me. so you're off the hook" - Pacey Witter

Pacey's the man. I'm glad that Joey ended up with Pacey. In the end, Pacey was a bigger man than Dawson.

Did anyone tape the finale? I didn't. I want to watch it again.

I have to give the writers and all credit. It was a good finale. I love how they even made fun of themselves and their viewership at the beginning. "Joey why are you watching that? I can't believe every Wednesday at 8pm you sit down to watch 'The Creek.' It's a weekly portal into the world of teen angst. And you've developed a personal attachment to them all."

Oh, of course, they spouted all their profound life statements in classic Dawson's Creek fashion. "Dreams come true, Dawson, not free."

I'm glad they chose to make a point at the end about the difference between reality and television. So, for those of you that don't know, in the series finale, Dawson (5 years in the future) is the executive producer of "The Creek," a weekly teen soap opera that basically recounts Dawson's life (especially the Joey-Pacey Joey-Dawson Dawson-Pacey headache). But, alas, when the show finally comes to a close, Dawson struggles with understanding reality versus the fiction he writes. Finally,Dawson writes in "The Creek" that the "Joey" character ends up with the "Dawson" character (although Joey chooses Pacey in the end). Granted, what is considered reality on the show is still fiction to the viewer. But, it's just a good reminder to the viewership that Dawson's Creek is NOT reality. (well, duh...but I get sucked in sometimes!)

So, after 1 last hoorah, another show from my high school/college years has come to an end.

Yay! the Practice is on for another season.

Ok, that was a silly TV post. I'm done now.
