Dawson's Creek - TV guide gave Dawson's Creek worst finale - Page 3

MSNBC is a big network, so Sars must be someone they consider important enough to write at their site. I haven't seen Logan's name on any site. I am not here to start a fight.

Same here. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Haven�t watched half of all the DC seasons yet, so I don�t know whether the finale sucks.

Hey, notsomuch!
You should probably mention that what you just posted was written by Sars, who most people know is a P/Jer, and it happened to be posted there.

Sorry, I didn't even read the ETA: part of the post. Yes is was written by SARS, who was a recapper for DC at MBTV, I would consider her more of a Dawson hater than a PJ'er but I would say that she preferred PJ over DJ.

I think it goes without saying that any article that is pro-PJ was written by a PJ'er, or someone who didn't like DJ together. But that doesn't discount that they were hired to write their opinion and it has been printed.

Yeah, I know. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I was just wondering if what you quoted was something recent, as well, because it looked liked the same quote I had read earlier this summer.

Btw, I received my TVGuide issue today, and CoolCat typed out exactly what was written in the issue. The "Stay dead, Dawson" coomment made me chuckle, too.

Sars is definitely not a P/Jo fan. Not in the sense that you or I or anyone posting at Fan Forum would define. I read her recaps over the years, and as I remember she was a Dawson hater first and foremost. She preferred Pacey and Joey to the alternative (that being Dawson and Joey), true. But that's not the same as being a "P/Jer."

Thanks, julialex, for the info. I didn't realize that Coolcat typed the whole thing, minus the Buffy/Dawson item.

Yeah they did not go into any detail other then that quote. I would have posted it if they had.

It's moments like this that I realize just how much of a newbie to the fandom I am. I have no idea who Sars is or how people gathered that was written by him/her. I checked out the article and it looks like they took several quotes from him/her for their list. I would guess whoever compiled that list just found the best and/or most amusing quotes about the 2003 tv season from people who actually watched the shows. Pretty cool that we can add MSNBC to the list of P/J supporters though. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sars used to write hilarious recaps of Dawson's Creek on �Dawson�s Wrap,� which later became �Mighty Big TV�, and then became �Television Without Pity.� She really hated Dawson, but I couldn�t help but crack up at her brilliantly sarcastic recaps, and some of the names that she came up with for the characters were a hoot. My favorite recap of hers was the one for Admissions, where she blasted Joey for being such a bitch to Pacey and everyone else because she didn�t get a full scholarship to Worthington, and she ended her comments about Joey with the sentence �God, I *****ing hate her!� [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img] My sentiments exactly! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I�m really glad that she�s moved on to writing for MSNBC.

I didn't see the TV Guide Best/Worst of 2003 (although I DID read the original review about the finale - [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ), but since people are sharing them here, I figured I'd throw in that Soap Opera Digest gave D.C. "Best Finale" in their Best/Worst issue from 2 weeks ago. They talk about how good it was to see the characters 5 years later and tying up loose ends, but they SPECIFICALLY said that none of that wouldn't have mattered had Joey not chose Pacey. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Edited to add that I felt the Buffy finale was anti-climatic and extremely disappointing. I mean, HELLO, Anya DIED and there was barely a sad expression from the man had claimed to love her. UGH. Not to mention that it was just dumb. The ONLY good part, IMO, was the Buffy/Angel kiss and the follow-up dough conversation.

Yeah, that was perfect. Kim started a topic about that a week or so ago, just to celebrate some more. Hee! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

This is what the TV Guide said exactly (I have it in front of me but my scanner does not work)

Best Finale: Buffy the Vampire Slayer - We absolutly hate it when we're caught in an ubervamp bloodbath and our entire town disappears into a gaping Hellmouth. But when it happens on TV, it's fun!

Worst Finale: Dawson's Creek - Creek ran dry long before its final schmaltzfest. Keep repeating: No reunions.

And the picture is a small cast picture of DC..I thinking Season 5 but not too sure, and then the picture of the Buffy cast at the end of it's finale and Buffy is saying "Stay dead, Dawson."

If my scanner works later, I will try to scan it.

Sugz · 12-26-2003, 03:28 PM

Thanks for that.

Translation: Too little too late.

COOLCAT200 · 12-27-2003, 03:02 AM

I feel from that they were just sick of the show in general.
