DC S02.E10: High Risk Behavior

Again With This: Dawson"s, Melrose, 90210 ·

2024/09/09

Upon Andie's request, Pacey has gotten an HIV test, and presents her with his negative results. She makes sure he understands this isn't an immediate green light for them to have sex, and he's like, "I know, that's fine," and she's like, "Wait, you DON'T want to have sex with me?" and suddenly it's the only topic they're talking about -- other than when he runs into her in the drugstore and accosts her to interrogate her about the prescription she just picked up. She claims the anti-anxiety meds are

We’re off this week but we bring you two Again With Again With This episodes full of Melrose peeps and swimwear.AWAWT 141: Let’s Watch David Charvet And Brooke Langton On Baywatch! Baywatch S03.E01: River Of No Return, Pt. 1, isn’t only Charvet’s debut on the dominant syndicated T&A show of the nineties; it’s also Nicole Eggert’s…and Pamela Denise Anderson’s, so there’s a lot going on. Not in terms of the episode director guiding young/bad actors, however; we’ll talk about that, Brooke

DC S02.E09: The Election

Again With This: Dawson"s, Melrose, 90210 ·

2024/08/26

The school year is nearly half over, so naturally it's time for the current sophomores to vote on who will represent them for, oh, six months or so. Andie understands that, as a new student, she's going to be at a deficit just because people don't know who she is, but she's also already looking ahead to her college applications so she's willing to risk it. She's also SO new that she thinks her ticket might get a lift from adding Joey, forcing Joey to explain that she's very unpopular and she would

DC S02.E08: The Reluctant Hero

Again With This: Dawson"s, Melrose, 90210 ·

2024/08/19

Though his life has mostly sucked lately, Dawson gets some good news for a change: his horror movie won a special award at the extremely offscreen film festival in which he entered it, and the prize is a not insignificant amount of money to help him make his next movie. (Oof, the threat inherent in that phrase: Dawson's NEXT movie.) He's excited to reunite with Joey, his producer on the last film, but since they worked together she's developed her own interests and isn't going to have time to be a

DC S02.E07: The All-Nighter

Again With This: Dawson"s, Melrose, 90210 ·

2024/08/12

Mr. Peterson, in whose English class everyone but Jack is enrolled, makes such a big, apocalyptic deal about the imminent midterm that all the students we know head straight for his afterschool study session. He's too sick to show up himself, however, so new lothario Chris Wolfe (future Roswell star Jason Behr) offers the use of his giant, currently parentless house for an off-campus cram. Andie does what she can to stay on task, but the rest of the loafers she's trying to herd would rather eat

DC S02.E06: The Dance

Again With This: Dawson"s, Melrose, 90210 ·

2024/08/05

YES, this is a new episode; the dance episode in S01 is just called "Dance," and yes, it was a terrible idea for two episodes of the same show to have nearly identical titles, but here we are. All our opening-credits cast nonconformists know, as Andie does, that the Homecoming Dance is coming up. Unlike Andie, they don't care, until she points out that dancing can be a form of foreplay and all their horny asses get on board. Seeing Jen in the hallway still hanging out with Abby, Joey gets concerned

DC S02.E05: Full Moon Rising

Again With This: Dawson"s, Melrose, 90210 ·

2024/07/29

It's a full moon! Joey is pretty sure it's going to cause out-of-character behavior in the townsfolk, and she might be on to something: Mitch and Gale are so testy about one another's totally innocent visitors (Tamara in his case; some reporter colleague named Gary in hers), repeatedly making reference to THURSDAYS, that Dawson can't help noticing and demanding to know what is actually going on with their marriage. Elsewhere, a dead shift at the Icehouse gives Joey nothing to do but talk to Jack,

DC S02.E04: Tamara's Return

Again With This: Dawson"s, Melrose, 90210 ·

2024/07/22

As we saw at the end of the last episode, Tamara somehow has the nerve to show her face back in Capeside AFTER EVERYTHING. Officially it's to sell her house and also a warehouse (???), the latter possibly to Mitch for his fake restaurant, which is why Dawson is the first credits-cast Capeside High student to see her. He does TRY to warn Pacey, but not hard enough, since as we keep saying, he's a bad friend. And while Andie does pick up on a vibe when she witnesses Pacey running into Tamara totally

DC S02.E03: Alternative Lifestyles

Again With This: Dawson"s, Melrose, 90210 ·

2024/07/15

Nearly all our teen leads happen to be taking the same Econ class, in which Mr. Maddock NOT ONLY demands that students pair up for a project on household finances, complete with character briefs and backstory; he's ALSO not letting them choose their own partners, which is how Andie ends up with Pacey, Jen with Dawson, Abby with a nerd named Kenny, and Joey on her own. You'd think Joey would go straight to the person she already knows as a solo head of household, but no, she rudely dismisses Bessie

DC S02.E02: Crossroads

Again With This: Dawson"s, Melrose, 90210 ·

2024/07/08

Dawson and Joey are settling into the new phase of their relationship in the typical teenager way: totally oblivious that other people exist, rolling straight from Mitch and Gale catching them making out all over Dawson's bed to Dawson forgetting Pacey's 16th birthday. Pacey gives Dawson multiple chances to redeem himself -- including by throwing himself a party -- but it's Andie who actually comes through in the clutch. While this is going on, Dawson decides to help himself to a perusal of Joey's

We're off this week but we bring you two Again With Again With This episodes full of Canadianosity.AWAWT 149: Let’s Watch Kathleen Robertson In Maniac Mansion! We're heading back to the early nineties (again) with an episode of weird, energetic cross-border fam-com Maniac Mansion, which was loosely based on the videogame -- and starred a young Kathleen Robertson as teen brainiac Tina; Mr. Weir as her dad; and a grouchy styrofoam meteor as the villain of the week. How did Robertson do? And should

DC S02.E01: The Kiss

Again With This: Dawson"s, Melrose, 90210 ·

2024/06/24

We pick up with Dawson and Joey where we left off in the S01 finale: they kissed! They like each other! They're going to talk about it a bunch, misusing a lot of five-dollar words in the process! But...what does this mean? Are they immediately boyfriend-girlfriend? Is sex on the table? Is Jen going to be weird about it -- that is, when she's not being weird about Grams doing a bad job mourning Gramps? Pacey has a literal run-in (of the automotive kind) with Andie, a new transplant from Rhode Island;

DC S01.E13: Decisions

Again With This: Dawson"s, Melrose, 90210 ·

2024/06/17

Deep in the background, Pacey's dad is not only still being a jerk to him but enlisting Doug to do it in his absence. But in the foreground, a lot is going on with his three best friends. Joey and Dawson are still very confused about their feelings for one another following the beauty pageant, so when Joey is offered the chance to spend the next semester in France, he doesn't want her to go but also doesn't feel comfortable saying why. Joey ALSO has to make the decision about going on either side of

DC S01.E12: Beauty Contest

Again With This: Dawson"s, Melrose, 90210 ·

2024/06/10

Capeside is closing out tourist season with Windjammer Days, a town-wide festival of which we see absolutely nothing except the climactic Miss Windjammer pageant. Dawson thinks Jen should enter, which she takes to be a backhanded compliment about her vanity. Jen thinks Joey should enter, because her tips are drying up and she could use the $5000 prize as the start of a college fund. And Pacey thinks Pacey should enter, because his dad is ready for him to become an emancipated minor and move out on

The 90s Melrose Place era has come to a close on Again With This, so before we leap into Dawson's Creek with ALL our feet, we're taking some questions and comments from our hotline. Listen to find out what your fellow listeners wanted to know, like what Kimberly could have gotten up to in Seasons 6 and 7, which props we would have bid on at the show's official auction, and whomst among our three shows' male leads is actually the most noxious.

MP S07.E35: Asses To Ashes

Again With This: Dawson"s, Melrose, 90210 ·

2024/05/27

The rumors about what really went down the night Kent Damarr died simply cannot be contained. At first, it seems like Eve just wants the truth to come out. But pretty quickly, she changes her mind and hatches a plot for revenge that involves tying Lexi up and dropping her in the tub before stalking Amanda and Peter with murder on her mind. (Why did she have to remove Lexi's clothes first? Presumably so that Jamie Luner could give us all one last look at that bangin' bod, and who can blame her.)

DC S01.E11: The Scare

Again With This: Dawson"s, Melrose, 90210 ·

2024/05/20

For Mike White's second credited episode, it's Friday the 13th! Apparently, this is an occasion Dawson's friends have long known is one he likes to mark with scarifying pranks, and that telling him in so many words that they don't like it will not make him stop. Given her new status as Dawson's platonic friend, Jen assumes she will also be on the receiving end of some of this mischief, even though Dawson keeps telling her he actually had nothing planned. Cliff doesn't have anything planned either,

MP S07.E34: Dead Men Don't Shut Up

Again With This: Dawson"s, Melrose, 90210 ·

2024/05/13

You might think Lexi would decide she had enough on her plate dealing with Tony's corpse while also making sure she didn't lose the business he agreed to in his final moments. But, in fact, seeing Eve rapidly unraveling psychologically just convinces her to add a new scheme to her schedule: she can certainly take advantage of Eve's instability and use it against Amanda! Mark L. Taylor manages to cash another Melrose Place check as Dr. Visconti gets involved. Terry's feelings for Ryan continue to

DC S01.E10: Double Date

Again With This: Dawson"s, Melrose, 90210 ·

2024/05/06

Dawson is still being such a whiny little bitch about Jen dumping him that Pacey tells him how he could possibly lay the groundwork to get her back: take her up on her request that they be friends, and prove he means it by suggesting that they go on a double date! This involves asking out the cute and friendly Mary Beth and totally not telling her what his actual intention is. (Remember: this is a person we are constantly being told -- including in this episode -- is "one of the good ones.") After

MP S07.E33: Lexi Gets Stiffed

Again With This: Dawson"s, Melrose, 90210 ·

2024/04/29

Now that everyone's back from the cruise, it's time for a reckoning. Peter tells Eve he wants a divorce because of the way she maneuvered him off the ship for days so that she could bone Tony, but she yells that actually Amanda did that. So Peter confronts Amanda about that, not knowing she's coming straight from seeing the film Lexi ruined and is truly in no mood. Tony refuses to shell out for a reshoot, so Amanda assesses her life and next steps and ends up, where else, at the hospital to tell
