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

Corrected entry: During Joey's surprise birthday party in her dorm room, she and Dawson start arguing and everyone else suddenly leaves. Right after that, as Joey and Dawson are standing in the room arguing, you can see the shadow of another person on the wall just behind Joey, to the left. The shadow appears to be a boom operator, with a long-handled boom mic, and you can see him moving in and out of the shot by his shadow. Dawson and Joey aren't moving at this point, so neither of them could be causing the shadow. Also, there is equipment shown in shadow as well.

Correction: It seems as if it is the shadow of the balloons moving, not any film crew member.

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.

Instant Karma! - S6-E4

Corrected entry: When Audrey calls Pacey at work, he knows it's her before she says anything. When Audrey asks him how he knew it was her, Pacey replies "Because I'm psychotic". I'm pretty sure the Actor Joshua Jackson really intended to say "I'm psychic" but messed up his lines. As soon as he says "psychotic", you can see him roll his eyes as if to acknowledge he made a mistake. (00:05:20)

Correction: No, it was an intentional character choice based on the fact that Audrey had referred to him as "psychotic".

Correction: The Waiter does not call Pacey "Dawson". When they are closing the restaurant and leaving, one of the Waiters says "Goodnight BOSS" to Pacey. "Boss" sounds like Dawson, but it's definitely BOSS if you listen closely. The Waiter is speaking to Pacey who literally IS his Boss, and also his friend so he calls him "Boss" in a casual manner.

Coming Home - S4-E1

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Joey and Pacey have arrived back at Capeside, and are getting things ready to get off the "True Love," in one shot you can see the microphone clipped to the back of Joey's shorts.

Jen: Do you remember when you were ten and your Mom wouldn't get you that candy bar that you really, really wanted? Didn't you ever just... Swipe it?
Dawson: No.

Pilot (aka Emotions in Motion) - S1-E1

Trivia: There was an alternate scene filmed for the Pilot Presentation, where Tamara is first introduced in the Video Store with Pacey and Dawson. In this alternate scene; the location was an actual Video Store located in Southport, about 50 miles away from Wilmington, NC. They decided to reshoot the scene using a smaller Video Store in Wilmington that didn't look like a chain. Once the show was picked up for a Series, they needed a Video Store location that they could use easily every week. Also, in the alternate scene Tamara is wearing a more conservative outfit of black that covered her quite a bit. They put her in a much sexier dress for the aired version. Tamara's wardrobe and the location were changed to give a better tone to the show.

Show generally

Question: Jack and Andie are brother and sister in the same grade...but does the show ever explain how that came to be? Are they twins or was Andie moved up because she is so smart?

Answer: It's only explained once in the series. Jack says to Andie "I tried to start kindergarten without you", meaning Andie was smart enough to start school early.

Answer: They are not twins (Jack is older than Andie). It is possible due to when birthdays fall in the school calender for non-twin siblings to end up in the same grade. Say that you have to be 5 on Sept 1 to start Kindergarten, you are born on Sept 2, 2000 and your little sister on Aug 30, 2001. Sept 1, 2005, you are 4 years and 364 days and can't start. So Sept 1, 2006, you are 5 years and 364 days and your sister is 5 years and 1 day, and, voila!, you're both in the same grade.

Answer: The writers have said they are not twins and Jack is older. Although they were both born in 1983. In some states, like Massachusetts, it's a district decision when a child under 6-8 can start kindergarten, so there's no age deadline. In January 1988, Jack and Andie would both be 4, turning 5, and the district then allowed Andie to start kindergarten with her brother. It has nothing to do with Andie being smarter or moved up a grade, a point she alludes to in response to Jack saying he tried to start kindergarten without her (s04e04). As a side note, there was talk among the writers about whether to make Jack older or younger and they ultimately decided to make him older. The writers put in an inside joke about that when Andie says she is "definitely the older sibling in this relationship" (s04e04). It's also an inside joke to the fact that Meredith Monroe (Andie) was almost 2.5 years older than Kerr Smith (Jack). Monroe was 18, turning 19, in 1988.
