Dawson's Creek is a true
reflection of the utter, blatant
stupidity of
humanity. Who hasn't sat there
compelled to watch the show despite the obvious
inevitability of each situation - whether it be the relationship between
Joey and Dawson or
Pacy and
Joey or whichever
sordid tale the
writers have decided to squeeze into the 1 hour
timeslot this week. You, as the viewer, know exactly how it is going to end. That is the simple beauty of it all.
Dawson's Creek IS life, life IS Dawson's Creek. We as humans are continually, foolishly placing ourselves in situations whose circumstances entail failure of one sort or another. And yet, we don't know how to stop ourselves. Like watching sappy television characters we are watching our own inevitable melodramas play out.
Or maybe I'm reading too much into this.
