TMZ posted the most beautiful picture of her today, post-divorce filing. She is smirking and looks like the Katie of old (circa 1999). I seriously was (OK, still am) obsessed with Dawson's Creek, so much so that I used to try to dress the part frequently.
In discussions with my friends and family (yes, multiple throughout the weekend and my life), there is a defining Dawson's Creek moment when most people lost respect for Dawson. Dawson, aka James Van Der Beek (who was like 25 playing 15) was Joey Potter's crush and I mean crush. They were childhood buddies who had a funny feeling that something was going on once puberty hit. Dawson tried skirting the issue by courting next-door neighbor/skank, Jen (aka Michelle Williams). HATED HER (Jen, not the actress) and wanted Joey and Dawson together, until they were together at the conclusion of season one, which is the "cliffhanger" into season two. Season two LITERALLY picks up where season one left off, leaving the Creek Kids a year behind me in school (which disappointed me, as I thought we would all graduate together). OK, I digress. So all respect is lost for Dawson at the conclusion of Season three when Pacey and Joey take off for the summer aboard Pacey's boat (yes, a 16-year-old with a boat) and Dawson does THIS:
Dawson, you literally missed the boat and make me vomit every time I see this screencap.
Congratulations, Katie Holmes. You successfully avoided that mess above as a teen/early 20 and are now leaving this mess behind:
