Dawson's Creek (1998)

Love Bites - S6-E18

Corrected entry: When Dawson is excitedly telling Pacey about how well his movie project is going, he makes a point of saying that 'he's already written 20 pages of his script, and can't wait to get home to write some more'. But later in this episode, Dawson is in his bedroom trying to work on his script with apparent Writer's Block. He starts to type on the laptop screen "Open with" and can't go any further. This implies that he is just starting his script, and is blocked to go any further. But previously he claimed to have already written 20 pages, plus any others after he got home.

Correction: It sounds like he is lying to his friend, because he does not want to be embarrassed that he is not able to write anything.

The Song Remains the Same (2) - S6-E2

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the episode, the camera pans across the floor of Joey's dorm room to her bed - showing the trail of clothing that apparently came off before she and Dawson were intimate. There is a clear close-up shown of her bra, implying that Joey was wearing street clothes at the time and took them off rapidly to sleep with Dawson. But in the previous episode; Joey had been in pajamas ready for bed when Dawson woke up and gave her the birthday gift, which led to the intimacy. Joey wasn't wearing a bra at that time, just pajamas. And she wouldn't likely have just dumped her street clothes on the floor in a trail leading to her bed before changing into PJs.

Correction: It might not be likely that she took off her clothes that way, but we can not say for sure, so it is not a mistake.

Separation Anxiety - S4-E21

Corrected entry: Pacey and Joey are talking out on the dock, after they spent the night together. Towards the end of this scene, there is a close-up as Joey takes Pacey's hand and says, "Me too". At this moment you can see the name and location of the boat next to them, painted on the rear of the boat. Although the picture is a bit fuzzy, you can see that it says "Wilmington" under the boat's name, meaning the actual town in NC they are filming in, versus the fictional Capeside, Mass.

Correction: A boat does not have to stay where it is registered.

Four Scary Stories - S5-E9

Corrected entry: During Jen's 'Scary Story' at the radio station, they show her playing an old fashioned vinyl record as her last song for the night. This is especially apparent when it starts skipping, and she finally runs back in to remove the needle from the vinyl. But this is the 21st century, and it would be likely that a trendy, major college radio station would not still be using vinyl records. They would be more likely be using newer technology and CDs.

Correction: They probably are using newer technology, but could still have a turn table in case someone wanted to play a record. There are purists out there that think records will always be the best medium for music, and a college radio station is usually the perfect place for those kind of people.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - S4-E9

Corrected entry: During this episode, Jack and Grams supposedly fill out and turn in Jen's college applications. But in reality, this wouldn't be possible because most likely college applications would require Jen's actual signature.

Correction: How would a college know what her signature is suppose to look like, what would they compare it to if they wanted to check it?

Coming Home - S4-E1

Corrected entry: When Jen and Dawson are talking in the darkroom while developing his photos, Jen says, "The way everything went down last year. You know, how you found out and all", referring to Pacey and Joey's secret romance. However, Pacey and Joey didn't become involved until well into the Spring, and just before that same Summer. So it really wasn't last year, it was just a few months ago right before Summer break.

Correction: When school years are involved, it is very common to say last year when referring to events that happened the previous school year, even if it was not actually a year ago.

Neverland - S3-E18

Corrected entry: When Ethan invites Jack's father to go to dinner with them, Jack's father is about to put a frozen dinner in the oven. He agrees to go out to dinner, and puts the frozen dinner on the counter behind him. This isn't logical, as generally you would put a frozen dinner right back in the freezer if not using it. Otherwise it would thaw out and have to be refrozen.

Correction: There are plenty of frozen dinners that let you choose to cook them when they are frozen or thawed, if that is not the case this is just a character mistake.

Cinderella Story - S3-E17

Corrected entry: When Pacey goes over to Buzz's house to help him make meat loaf and mashed potatoes, Buzz is completely alone in the house. Buzz has made it clear (and mentions it again during this scene) that he is only 9 years old. Pacey also mentions during the scene that it was a 'good thing Mom had to work late tonight'. There doesn't appear to be a babysitter of any kind around. Legally a child under 12 requires supervision, yet Buzz was home alone when Pacey arrived.

Correction: It is not a mistake if a character breaks the law, or uses poor judgment.

Home Movies - S3-E4

Corrected entry: During the closing scene, Joey is seated in a chair watching her TV and the video tape Dawson had given her from their childhood. She would need a VHS Player in order to do this, but you can see that there is none on top of their TV. At that time, most people kept their VHS Players right on top of their televisions. It's possible that the VHS Player could have been located somewhere else in the room; but since Bessie and Joey are poor and live in a trailor/house with limited space, it's highly unlikely they would have an entertainment unit with electronics (including a VHS Player) on another wall. Logically it would make more sense for them to keep it on top of the TV in such a small room. But the TV is shown without a VHS Player on top of it.

Correction: I never have had a VCR, or any other component on top of my TV, they have always been under the TV. You don't have to have an expensive entertainment center for this, very cheap stands for TVs are available. They could have it just sitting on the floor, it would still work fine.

Uncharted Waters - S2-E12

Corrected entry: Towards the end of the episode, Pacey is reeling in the big fish. There is a wide shot of the rear of the boat, and everyone is standing there in a bunch. All 5 characters (Dawson, Jack, Pacey, Dawson's Dad and Pacey's Dad) are standing around Pacey as he works hard to catch the fish. So who is driving the boat? Pacey's Dad had been driving, but he came back to help Pacey reel the fish in. No-one else is onboard. But the boat is moving forward at a steady speed.

Correction: It's a pretty foolish thing to do, but you can push the throttle forward and walk away, leaving nobody to steer the boat, but still allowing it to move forward. Not a movie mistake, but a pretty reckless character mistake.

Dawson's Creek (1998)

Season 3 generally

Corrected entry: Season 3 Ep. 1, "Like a Virgin": Dawson says he could sell his DVD player, and makes it sound as though it is worth $800 to $1,000. Yet whenever they show him bringing home rented movies, they are always VHS format. If Dawson is so into electronics, and ahead of the market with a cutting edge DVD player, why does he only rent VHS movies and his friends only bring over VHS movies to play in his bedroom? Wouldn't he be more excited to use his DVD player, which he never sold?

Correction: At that time you could not find any DVD movies to rent at places like Blockbuster, they only had a few, and they where always checked out, and alot of places did not rent them at all. Also most people did not have DVD players at that time, so they would only have tapes to bring over.
