Sexiest Moments, Part 2

21 07 2009

DAWSON’S CREEK

1. Any scene with Eve (played by Brittany Daniel), Episodes 3.1-3.5

Pretty much every time Eve spoke, usually with Dawson, it was filled with clever sexual innuendo and involved some act of debauchery.

2. Sex and Violence, Episode 6.17

When Joey temporarily works for Pacey, they can’t help but give in to the sexual tension.

Come back tomorrow for more sexy moments!

Miss Part 1?

Random Thought

14 07 2009

Re-watched the One Tree Hill pilot today on SoapNet and several things struck me.

1. It’s interesting to see where Nathan and Peyton started.  You see them now, it’s hard to believe they were ever together.  Then again, in almost every teen drama pilot, the characters start off way different from where they end up.

2. Same goes with how they look.  They’ve grown up so much. And same can be said for all teen drama actors.

3. James Lafferty in particular is so baby-faced.  Probably because he was only 17 at the time! And Nathan has a nipple piercing–what ever happened to that?!

4. Peyton’s room was set up quite differently, with her closet being used for her computer area.

5. Great Dawson’s Creek shout-out when Haley says to Lucas: Not that I was looking for something specifically, which implies some hideous sort of “Joey loves Dawson ” scenario and completely creep me out.

6. Brooke (Sophia Bush) isn’t even in the pilot.  Similar to Luke Perry (Dylan) not appearing in the first few episodes of Beverly Hills 90210.

7. Interesting to recall that Chad Michael Murray (Lucas) was on Dawson’s Creek before this.  Doesn’t even seem like the same actor–I guess because the characters are so different.

8. Wish I had time to write up comments on each show now that the series is on from the beginning again.  Of course I’ve already seen all the episodes multiple times, but it’s interesting to watch them again after just watching season six.





Introducing Trivia Night!

13 07 2009

I’ve been inspired by my friend Christy-Anne, who runs OTH Twitter Bugs.

Each week, Christy-Anne hosts a One Tree Hill trivia competition via Twitter.

I’m going to do the same–but for each of the teen dramas.

One week it will all be about Beverly Hills 90210, the next Dawson’s Creek, etc.

We’ll start as soon as you guys reply in the comments that a) you’re interested in this and b) what your weeknight availability is.

I’ve already got HUNDREDS of questions ready to go.  I’m so excited!
