I guess it's time to break out my season three DVDs now. Do we get Pacey/Joey smooches yet? (It's very weird to watch this show for the first time so long after it aired. I already know basically what happens, but I have no idea when it will happen.)

I never got "magical black guy" from this episode, mostly because there was a plot reason for Exley being black. If he was a white guy, he wouldn't be able to play baseball without being quickly found out by the ABH. And damn, he wanted to play baseball.

Yeah, I think that's what I meant. It would have been unbearable to watch so much awkward on the screen since I was so awkward in real life. Now that I'm past the awkwardness of that age, it's a fun trip back to the past to watch this show.

I missed this show as a teenager (too busy with my all-consuming X-Files obsession, I guess . . . ) and recently dived into Dawson's Creek at the behest of my roommate. I enjoyed the first season, but it didn't feel like anything all that spectacular. Then I started season two and something clicked, and now I find the…

Oh, wait, I just finished the review, and that is Jeyne Westerling? I thought I read somewhere that the nurse character had another name . . . oh well. Doesn't really matter.

I'm going to have to disagree about there being no strong central theme . . . in fact, I think they kind of hit the theme over the head, what with it being the title of the episode and all.
