Hey all. I'm simply introducing myself to this Board out of the blue, a Board which sadly appears to be quietting down more and more,
. Well I'm gonna say a few things about my DC experience & leave it out there, I hope this Board can still maintain decent use just based off the aftermath left by DC even though it's over now for most.First off, my account (Global), I'm sure this has to be one of the more unexpected Names to pop up, lol. Well I have no other EZ accounts and don't care to fuss over a new one, and yes I am a Wrestling fan & that's why I've got this Hogan one. Actually, I am a huge Sports fan, wrestling fan, love cars.. oh yeah, I'm a 19-yr-old male, lol. And even though I've seen quite a few guys who love DC also, I know I'm not in their typical demographic so to speak. Well I am not very weird in reality, heck I'm all for the whole machoism deal, lol, maybe my hobbies in life are getting TOO broad. That's what makes my love for DC so funny, it would've been the last thing on Earth I could ever envision myself caring about up to just 4 months ago! That's when I started watching.
Me getting into Dawson's Creek was actually cruel irony in a way. Because without ever watching a show or giving it a chance, I took the stereotypical stance on it, retarded girly overdrama show. In fact, DC was one of the things on TV I made jokes on the most. I obviously didn't watch DC in it's heyday on WB, there was likely no way I ever would have considered it, so my DC story came with TBS airing the re-runs of the series. I was watching TBS a lot cause of their 'OK' movies and I like Saved by the Bell. So DC was just the retarded show in between all that, and I really detested it for no reason. Wasn't right I know, heck even the song I would laugh at. So it was like a big joke on me when I became freakin' addicted to the series and spent 4 MONTHS now watching it loyally (& I've never followed ANY show loyally ever). My pre-judgement came back at me when my hatred for DC turned to curiosity. One day, dunno why, but I was half asleep and left DC on and watched a show. Now I'll admit one of many factors drawing me in was Katie Holmes/Joey. Not even because she's so beautiful, but something just drew me towards her & her character like a magnet, I was curious about her alone. There was MUCH more than that, though, DC was like a magnet, even when I tried pushing it away.
Somehow without ever watching DC, I had a 'tiny' idea of the overall storyline of the 6-yrs of the series. Maybe once a GF babbled about it, who knows? Lol. So my joke ended there, and even though I passed it off as a joke to ppl I talked to about it, I was watching the show. I saw a couple of shows right at the end of the series - Sn.6. I saw the first show of the 2-hr finale, so I wasn't spoiled on it yet saw enough to make me wanna see the WHOLE series. So I got addicted. It was perfect timing since they just were restarting the Series anew from Sn.1. Now it's early Sn.6 and I've taken the whole ride & I'm shocked this ever happened to me, lol. Oh well.. if my love for DC was a fluke or a joke, or makes me seem less macho.. I disagree and oh well, it's worth it. Now I know ppl on this Board view DC as over, but fans of it should be watching the TBS run of the series. You coulda relived all the moments you'd seen & kept the subject alive. But I think a few ppl here 'are' watching them. Oh, as for how I found this place, it's my stop for whenever I miss a day of shows, I get the Transcripts here, so thank god this site is up for me,
.I dunno if anyone wants to comment or what. I guess if anybody does, maybe I could whip out a few lists. I had 3 general lists in mind, all Top 5's! I have quite a bit of various DC shows taped throughout the series, so I can go back and look and decide..
My Top 5 Favorite Episodes
My Top 5 Favorite Characters
and My Top 5 Least Fave Characters
It's just an idea. If there's support for it, then I say let some other ppl begin their lists. You can elaborate a little bit on your choices, but I know how we all are & we'll likely get carried away on that, lol. Just like I have with this 'Introduction Post'! But if you're gonna say you hate Dawson then I have a high suspicion you're a female and being bias. But hey, DC can almost become like religion & politics to the TRUE fans, lol. Anyways, I'm done rambling finally. My name is Gabe and anyone who wants to waste some time reliving DC can reply & if ya got AIM or MSN, that's an option too. It's up to however many ppl are still checkin' this joint,
.
) I'll have to think about my favorites and come back with them. 
Good to have you here.
