Again With This: Dawson's, Melrose, 90210 episodes

November 02 22: DC S06.E17: Sex And Violence
Pacey and Joey are going for dinner in notably nice restaurants and trying to kiss when he walks her back to her dorm room, so why haven’t they nailed down exactly what they currently are to each other? Unclear, but here’s what won’t help: Rinaldi firing Pacey’s new assistant because she’s in her forties and suggesting Pacey replace her with the much more nubile Joey. As any of our listeners could probably predict, Joey is incompetent yet entitled even before Pacey’s Mystery Girl from the Christmas party returns, now identified as Sadia Shaw, a financial reporter who’s VERY interested in Pacey’s rapid rise as a broker but who Joey can only see as competition for her maybe man. In Los Angeles, Dawson successfully pitches Heather yet another take on his own autobiography, but questions how much he actually wants to get it made if doing so requires reimagining it as a teen sex comedy with heart that revolves around a stripper. CJ and Jen return just to have an implausible all-day fight about how much or little they’re boning. We’re going upside your head (where your ears are) with our episode on “Sex And Violence”!

October 26 21: FEL S01.E04: Boggled
Whether or not Felicity wants to acknowledge it, sexual tension has been simmering between her and Noel since they met, so when Noel interrupts their titular game of Boggle to kiss her, it’s not a huge shock to anyone but her. However, Meghan spreading rumors that the two of them are doing far more than smooch have one huge deleterious effect: Elena gets suspicious that “sexual conspiracy” has tainted the dorm’s mini-fridge lottery. Felicity has to deal with the fallout from Meghan’s big mouth while keeping tabs on Ben’s tryout for the UNY track team — something she’s lucky he hasn’t noticed she’s currently obsessed with. Nothing could be simpler or more straightforward than your listening to our episode on “Boggled” right now!

October 19 20: DC S06.E16: That Was Then
Neither Joey nor Pacey has forgotten their Big K adventure, and the possibilities it opened for their reuniting as a couple. But Joey’s not as ready as Pacey to dive back in, so it’s a good thing they’ve got other business to occupy them. Pacey is called back to Capeside following his father’s medical emergency; Pacey’s new mode of throwing money at his problems rankles Doug, particularly after John treats Pacey like the future of the Witter family and Doug like an old shoe. Dawson is also back home, invited to speak to Mr. Gold’s current film class; a keen kid who wants Dawson’s notes on his short film sends Dawson further down into his career crisis. Joey, meanwhile, has been harassed into babysitting Harley, whose attention to her homework is challenged by the boy in her closet. Here’s something you can do right now: listen to our episode on “That Was Then”!

October 12 19: FEL S01.E03: Hot Objects
Noel is organizing a floor party, and Felicity’s expectations for her first college party are stratospheric: she can’t wait to invite Ben, and for him to come that night, and see her, and like the way she looks, and for HER to like the way HE looks, and for them to dance all night and then go back to her room to…talk. Although, as she tells Sally, she has dared to imagine what it might be like to do more than that with “a man” for the first time — something she is so mortified to put on tape that she orders Sally to erase it immediately! Outside of Felicity’s imagination, things are not going so great. The Inorganic Chemistry prof she’s idolized since she used his textbooks in high school is disgusted that she hasn’t been able to find the text for this class. Whenever Felicity mentions Ben to Julie, Felicity can see Julie tense up, despite Julie’s repeated insistence that she and Ben are JUST FRIENDS. Hangs are happening that Felicity isn’t being invited to. Nothing a trip to Bloomingdale’s for a new party dress won’t fix! Probably! Ben is having his own scholastic issues, getting shunted into a drama class where he’s being asked to be vulnerable. It would be very cool if you listened to our episode on “Hot Objects”!

October 05 18: DC S06.E15: Castaways
When Pacey picks up a Sure Thing at a networking banquet for which he’s enlisted Joey to be his fake date, he has to stop on the way back to her dorm to get, what else, condoms. Their refusal to respect Kmart’s practices to keep customers from entering in the moments before the store closes leads to their getting locked inside. Since their predicament is a very low priority for the police, Joey and Pacey end up bickering about their relationship history before he calls a truce so that their night doesn’t get even worse. Big box store high jinks ensue: nacho cheese! A wall of TVs! A Gillette Mach 3 threatening Pacey’s precious goatee! And more! Put on some flannel PJs (whether you pay for them is none of our business) and listen to our episode on “Castaways”!

September 28 17: FEL S01.E02: The Last Stand
Felicity is just trying to figure out the new normal now that Ben knows why Felicity’s there, Felicity knows Ben never had a brother who died, and Julie knows Felicity isn’t totally over Ben. When she hears that a young man has called the admissions office trying to get a copy of her application essay, she assumes it was Ben trying to get them back on equal footing, and mails him a copy. Then she bounces into a meeting with Pappaleno only to see both her parents already there, and things rapidly go downhill. While Noel is not busy trying to convince Felicity that when he said he had feelings for her he didn’t REALLY mean it, he’s navigating a roommate conflict between Larry (John Cho), who wishes Lewis wouldn’t keep talking in his sleep about buying knives to kill Larry with; and Lewis, who…seems pretty shifty, actually. The FIRST thing you should do now is listen to our episode on “The Last Stand”!

September 21 16: DC S06.E14: Clean And Sober
The writers’ ambivalent (if not outright confused) views about excessive drinking are inflicted on us once again as Pacey throws himself a belated housewarming party to celebrate a Best Buy shopping spree. At least one of your co-hosts is disgusted by the portrayal of female characters uniformly disdaining the new giant TV; all the dudes are firmly in favor, including Gus, Emma’s fiancé? Yep, turns out she needs an American husband, and fast, because her visa is no longer valid for reasons we should have figured out back when she was hanging around the aquarium every day. Joey is determined to drink away her heartache over Eddie’s departure; Jen is ready to be sober out of respect for CJ, so she’s horrified when she hears that Pacey offered him a drink and he took it. At the other end of the sobriety spectrum, Audrey’s still in rehab in L.A. Dawson comes to visit, not only cloddishly arriving without so much as an Us Weekly but then forgetting whom he’s there for as soon as she spots one of her fellow patients: a producer named Toni Stark. Dawson would have to be made of iron (man) not to parlay this chance sighting into a networking opportunity, right??? Join us as we get down and dirty about “Clean And Sober”!

September 14 15: FEL S01.E01: Pilot
Felicity Porter (Keri Russell) is at her commencement, realizing she’s not as happy about the life her parents have mapped out for her: doing all her schooling at Stanford to become a doctor, exactly like her dad. So when she bravely asks her crush, Ben (Scott Speedman) to become the second person to sign her senior yearbook and finds out he’s going to “New York” for college, she finds her acceptance letter to the same school and decides to enroll there too. When she runs into him again on campus in the fall, his reaction is her first sign that her impulsive decision isn’t going to pan out exactly the way she might have hoped when she made it. We’re telling you all about everyone she meets — and how she frames it to her audio cassette tape pen pal Sally — in our episode on the Felicity pilot!

September 07 14: Special: Let's Watch The Cruel Intentions Trilogy!
We’re off this week but we bring you three Again With Again With This episodes from the club vault.
AWAWT 253: Let’s Watch Joshua Jackson In Cruel Intentions!
How to reinvent Les Liaisons Dangereuses for the late 20th century Youthquake moment? Set it among Upper East Side high school brats, and throw in a couple of stars from The WB!
AWAWT 254: Let’s Watch Robin Dunne In Cruel Intentions 2!
A TV iteration of Cruel Intentions, Manchester Prep, was planned for FOX’s 1999-2000 primetime schedule…until Rupert Murdoch (allegedly) had the project sacked for being too crass (!), at which time it was reworked as a prequel, Cruel Intentions 2, and everything about it is…number two: the casting, the timeline, the geography, the wardrobe, and Robin “AJ” Dunne as Valmont makes Ryan Phillippe look like Jon Hamm. This is possibly the crappiest show-verse property we’ve ever contemplated, and we’re talking about that, plus early TWoP days, Some Kind Of Wonderful, and “frisky twins” (ew). Listen now!
AWAWT 255: Let’s Watch Kerr Smith In Cruel Intentions 3!
So it’s come to this: a Cruel Intentions sequel with none of the original talent attached. (Not even poor old Pierre Choderlos de Laclos gets a credit!) After Kathryn has ruined the family with her antics in New York, her cousin Cassidy is forced to lie low at a college in Santa Barbara, where she and her frenemy and sparring partner Jason (Kerr Smith!) simply can’t stop betting on sex. How does this entry slyly cross over with both American Psycho and Sex & The City? We’ll tell you everything important! …Which admittedly isn’t much.

August 31 13: DC S06.E13: Rock Bottom
After Joey found Audrey unconscious at the end of the previous episode, she got in touch with the Liddells offscreen, and arrangements have been made for Audrey to enter a rehab program in the Los Angeles area. Except, whoops, no one thought this person deep in substance misuse disorder might pretend to head for the airport, then actually find a karaoke bar, bring a guy named Bob (Seth Rogen!) back to a local hotel room, and hide out. Since Eddie has decided to try to enroll in that writers’ workshop and, conveniently, drive himself across the country that very night, Joey volunteers him to drive Audrey too — something Audrey only agrees to if they also bring Bob. Since Joey learned nothing from this flight risk the first time, predictable mayhem ensues. Dawson is way out over his skis on reshoots, enduring open disrespect from his DP and Natasha and threats from Heather (whose fault this is, honestly). And when Grams clashes with an entirely offscreen Mr. Smalls, Jen decides the answer is to set her up with CJ’s widowed Uncle Bill (Geoffrey Lewis! …You’ll know him when you see him). Look waaaaaay down for our latest episode: we’ve struck Rock! Bottom!!!

Need someone to share the joy, pain, and shoulder pads of your Dawson's Creek, Melrose Place and Beverly Hills, 90210 rewatches? Tara Ariano and Sarah D. Bunting, co-founders of Television Without…
