If I had to pick one television series that shaped my teen adolescence, then I’d pick Sailor Moon or Rugrats but if someone asked me to pick one television series that shaped my teen adolescence in a room full of people, then I’d say Dawson’s Creek. Seriously, though, this was the first TV show that I devotedly watched once a week that dealt with relationship and family problems that I could never relate to because I wasn’t white and I didn’t know any boys.
I’m not saying it was the most original of concepts; it was just the one that I watched obsessively so I could fall asleep and dream about having crushes on fictional boys. Oh man, remember that first season finale when Joey finally confronts her father and Dawson finally kisses her?? I watched it like 3 times on a crappy VHS tape, and my friends and I even screened it again at a sleepover a couple weeks later. And this is the sole reason why I won’t ever let go of my Sarah McLachlan album. Shit, did I just type that aloud?
So if I had known Joshua Jackson was hosting Pacey-Con in San Diego this past weekend, I would have ditched everything and cheered alongside him. What he said is true: Pacey is the greatest character in television history. Ever. Period.
