Reply to comment by raylan_givens6 in What TV characters would watch TV shows about characters like themselves? And who would hate them? by smesch83

yes, Dawson would want a super-earnest show about his life etc. and he'd like the IDEA of "Dawson's Creek", of course. but I think he would hate or lampshade many of the weirder decisions of the show (the Eve storyline, for example).

the Eve storyline was super dumb and never paid off

but it was just a way to keep dawson sidelined while joey and pacey spent the season getting closer

i think the writers realized the show was better when joey and pacey were the focus

in fact, a more accurate title of the show is "Joey's Creek" . the show really revolved around her , not Dawson

yes! (also: thanks for taking the time to write such a thoughtful reply here. DC discourse usually stops at "And he's crying lol")

giving Jen a half-sister and have TWO sex-positive girls become friends sounds great, but Eve never was that. (and in the end, Audrey wasn't either because she propped up Joey, not Jen.)
