The Top 10 Saddest Moments

23 02 2009

If there’s two things you can count on teen dramas for, it’s love and anguish.  This week I’ll be counting down the 10 saddest moments in teen drama history.  In some cases it will be a single scene and in others it will be a montage or culmination of events.  Either way, get the tissues ready; the tragedies will get worse as the week goes on…

10. Dawson feels guilty for fighting with his father before his death (Dawson’s Creek, Episode 5.4: The Long Goodbye)

Random Question

19 02 2009

How do you feel about spoilers?

There are those that don’t mind them, those that avoid them and those that live for them.

I’m in that last category.  I love being spoiled!  I actively seek out spoilers for a simple reason: I do not have the patience to wait and see what will happen on my favorite shows.  I am dying to know new storylines, twists and plot outcomes.

Contrary to popular belief, this does not take away from the experience of watching the show.  I may have read about what’s going to happen but now I get to see how it happens.  Reading plans is one thing.  How it unfolds on-screen is another.  Plus with foilers and last-minute changes, there are still plenty of surprises.

What do you think?  Are you pro- or anti-spoilers?





All-Time Favorite Couples Pt. 3

18 02 2009

Part One

Part Two

3. Joey and Pacey (Dawson’s Creek)

When the show began and even through its first two or so seasons, you never would’ve imagined Pacey and Joey paired up together.  Though Pacey once contemplated the idea (in an early season one episode), the idea of them together not only seemed unlikely but also just not…right.  But then season 3 comes along and everything changes: the characters, the storylines, the show.  The season marked a turning point for the series, and the turning point in who my preferred couple was.  As Pacey slowly fell for Joey, longed for her, ached for her, I did too.  I felt Pacey’s urge to be with her, his growing love and loneliness. For anyone who has ever experienced unrequited love–or impossible love–it was impossible not to be touched by the path this storyline took.  Though they broke up at the end of season 4, the bond was unbreakable, the memories unforgettable and the destiny sealed.  With the maturity that only time can bring, Joey and Pacey grew enough to be able to commit to each other once and for all.  While that realization in the series finale was a little rushed, it is satisfying to know that the show did end with them together and I can forever think of them that way.

Site of the Week

16 02 2009

The site of the week is Wikipedia…sort of.

Let me explain.

Wikipedia has the most thorough listing of every “teen drama” ever made.

The list not only includes programs that I don’t even consider to be traditional teen dramas (which, in my opinion, are the ones covered by this site) but also shows that are from other countries.

Wikipedia isn’t always accurate but this list, my site of the week, is a great way to familiarize yourself with what else is out there.
