First season, Dawson likes Jen then he realizes he loves Joey, the girl next door who's loved him since the beginning of time. Second season Dawson and Joey together then they break up because she's in love with Jack who turns out to be gay. Third season, Dawson and Joey remain friends but then she falls in love with Pacey, Dawson's best friend, and goes away with him for the summer to go sailing down the coast. Fourth season, Joey and Pacey are still together, Pacey's sister Gretchen returns to Capeside as a break from college, Dawson becomes friends with Pacey and Joey again, Dawson and Gretchen fall in love, Joey loses her virginity to Pacey, Joey and Pacey break up, Dawson and Gretchen break up, they graduate from high school, Dawson and Joey kiss before he leaves for college summer class. Fifth season, Dawson decides that he doesn't want to go to USC and returns to Massachusetts disappointing Mitch (his dad) who dies in a tragic car accident, everyone is in Boston attending college except Pacey who becomes a chef, Audrey (Joey's roommate) begins seeing Pacey, Dawson alienates Joey after his father's death, Dawson wins an award for his latest film then decides to go to film school in Boston, Dawson dates Jen and loses his virginity to her, Dawson and Jen break up amicably, Dawson leaves for California again to be a Production Assistant.

The sixth and final season began with Dawson returning to Boston to prepare for a shoot. He and Joey end up sleeping together on her birthday. Dawson doesn't tell her he had a girlfriend in California but Joey eventually finds out and stops talking to Dawson. Meanwhile, Pacey and Audrey break up after she overhears Pacey say that he doesn't love her. Joey starts seeing Eddie (a co-worker and fake classmate) who she helps get into writing school in California. They break up knowing that a long-distance relationship won't work. Dawson and Joey become friends again after a Christmas party at his house in Capeside. Dawson goes back to California to finish a movie which ends up getting bad reviews. Dawson tries to sell his "coming of age" movie. Joey and Pacey together again until Eddie returns.

How does it end. I was hoping that Joey breaks up with Eddie and ends up with her soulmate Dawson. But the last episode fast forwards five years into the future and shows that Pacey and Joey end up together. Not what I hoped so the first season and the first half of the second season are my favorites. The first season leads to the Dawson and Joey kiss while the second season begins with Dawson and Joey going out.

Smallville
The show delves into what Clark Kent (aka Superman) was like when he was a teenager in Smallville. It suggests that Clark and Lex Luthor (Superman's enemy) were good friends in Smallville. The show is based on Clark learning to use his superpowers while dealing with villain—most become evil as a result of exposure to Kryptonite. Series also include his father (played by John Schneider formerly of Dukes of Hazard), his mother, Lana Lang, Pete Ross, Chloe Sullivan and Lionel Luthor.

I think that Tom Welling is a hottie. But that's not the main reason why I watch it. It's an interesting take on Superman. My favorite episode is the one with Christopher Reeve (original Superman) who translates a message for Clark. I loved Christopher Reeve in the the Superman movies. I think he is really Superman for trying to rehabilitate himself from being a parapalegic. Anyways in that episode Clark learns who he is and translates a message that's in his spaceship. Most people don't know this but in the inner most circle of that message when translated (using translation letters from the comic book) says "Made in Taiwan" which was added by graphic artists as a joke.

Since my last update...I still love Tom Welling . Clark returns after having "left" to go with his Krypton father (Jor-El) and save his human father (Jonathan Kent). In 2004, Lois Lane comes to Smallville and Pete leaves Smallville. We learn that Lois Lane is Chloe's cousin and Lana's a witch. Lana starts dating Jason Teague whom she meets in Paris. Didn't watch several episodes because I didn't like the Lana's a witch storyline. But at least it shows Jensen Ackles as Jason Teague. He's so hot. Didn't realize he played PJ, Jennifer's boyfriend, in Dawson's Creek. Also it turns out that Jensen Ackles was runner-up to play Clark Kent. But I digress. Chloe knows Clark's secret. Jason ends up being evil and gets killed. Lana and Clark fall in love. Then; Clark, Lana, and Chloe graduate from high school. What else is in store for this season?

Gilmore Girls
A mother-daughter relationship show about a single-parent mother who raises her daughter by herself eversince she gave birth at sixteen while she re-kindles her relationship with her parents. I envy the way the mother and daughter are so close eventhough they are very different. Makes me think what I would have done if I had a daughter at sixteen. Rory, the daughter, reminds me of myself as a teenager...studious, wearing uniforms, boyfriends.

What has happened the last two seasons? Lorelai and Christopher rekindle their love, but he ends up leaving Lorelai because his ex-girlfriend is pregnant is with his child. Lorelai begins seeing Luke, but Christopher comes back and still loves Lorelai. In the meantime, Jess breaks up with Rory after flunking out of school. Rory goes to Yale instead of Harvard. She sleeps with Dean breaking up his marriage then ends up dating Logan from Yale who calls her Ace. She quits Yale after Logan's father tells her she doesn't have what it takes to be a good journalist and has a big fight with her mother and ends up living with her grandparents. Rory breaks up with Logan after he disses Jess (who was there for one episode) and his book. Can't wait to see what else happens this season.

One Tree Hill
I think this show is better than the O.C. At first, I didn't like it because the premise didn't seem different. The show is based on two half-brothers (Lucas and Nathan Scott) who have the same father and hate each other end up playing on same highschool basketball team. Lucas and Nathan end up liking each other because they have a common hatred for their father. Lucas' best friend, Hayley ends up marrying Nathan. Lucas likes Peyton but ends up dating Brooke, Peyton's best friend. Hayley runs off with a musician, Chris, to fulfill her music career but changes her mind and returns to Nathan. Hayley's older sister comes to town and crashes in with Hayley and Nathan. Lucas almost admits to Brooke that he has feelings for her but she's dating someone else. Other interesting character Jake, Lucas' friend, who has a daughter.

Joan of Arcadia
A family drama with bits of humor. Joan is a teenager who sees and converses with God who appears to her as different people. It's mostly about her relationship with her family, but I just love her relationship with her boyfriend, Adam. I'm kinda bummed because CBS decided to cancel it even after it had received lots of critic choices.

Supernatural
My new favorite show. It's about two brothers who are looking for their father. Twenty years earlier their mother dies in a strange way. Jensen Ackles is great. He can be funny and he can be serious. They're supernatural crime fighters. Interesting premise. Lots of unique stories.

Nip/Tuck
A show about two plastic surgeons in Florida. Their families. Their patients. At first I wasn't crazy about the show because I thought it was about people who want cosmetic surgery because of superficial reasons. But most of the surgeries are due to medical or psychological reasons. I love the show.

Friends
If you haven't heard it, where have you been? Hilarious comedy of 6 friends who live in New York. This season, Rachel gives birth to Emma, Ross' baby. For awhile they live together for the sake of the baby, but have a fight so she's living with Joey.

24
A show with a different format—the entire season is about events that happen within a 24-hour period involving Jack Bauer, a CTU (Counter-Terrorist Unit) agent. Unfortunately I missed the first season but read the archived episodes on the Fox 24 site. In it's second season, the story revolves around a nuclear bomb. After several episodes of looking for the bomb to avoid having it detonate, CTU was unsuccessful in disarming it so detonated it in the desert. Now it seems that 3 Middle Eastern countries conspired to get the bomb to the US. Jack Bauer is trying to prove that it's a lie while the President is preparing to start a war with these countries. Ironically, on the 4/1/03 episode it is alluded that these countries were framed so that a certain US corporation will profit from the oil that will be available once the governments of these countries are overthrown. How eerie is that? The storyline was probably written last year and filmed months ago yet it's ironic that it's being televised at the same time the war is going on in Iraq.
