Dawson's Creek

Parental Discretion Advised - S2-E22

Trivia: The actual location of the Ice House used in this scene, was a real bar and night spot in Wilmington, NC. Wilmington is a college town; and they occasionally had concerts at that bar, where the courtyard would be filled with kids and a band. (00:18:30)

First Encounters of the Close Kind - S3-E10

Trivia: When Dawson and Nikki are walking along the outside corridor, the scene was actually filmed at the local college in Wilmington; the University Of North Carolina, Wilmington. Also, the big beautiful vista shots of the University in a number of scenes in this episode were filmed at the University of Richmond. As Paul Stupin points out in the Commentary, the College environment is constructed with a mixture of a lot of different locations. (00:31:20)

Parental Discretion Advised - S2-E22

Trivia: All the 'Ice House On Fire' scenes in this episode were filmed at the very end of shooting, and were the very last scenes shot before the show was wrapped for Season 2. Apparently, in general when they need to shoot scenes with a harder to produce element like fire, they put them off until the very end so they have more time to prep them. (00:16:55)

Season 1 generally

Trivia: One of the creators, Kevin Williamson, had the set dressers put up/move around an "I Know What You Did Last Summer" poster in various sets in the first season (sets include: Dawson's bedroom, the "Play It" video rental store, and Mr. Gold's film classroom). Williamson was the screenplay writer of "I Know What You Did Last Summer," basing it on Lois Duncan's novel of the same name. The poster was used in Dawson's room because Steven Spielberg wanted his own posters limited to at least two in each set.

100 Light Years From Home - S5-E19

Plot hole: At the end of the episode, Dawson is seated in the kitchen talking to Pacey in a normally loud voice. At the same time, Joey and Charlie are awake and talking in the pup tent in the living room, very close to the kitchen. Later in the Season we learn that Joey had no idea Dawson had driven down to Florida to see her, as apparently he left without seeing or talking to her. But being in such close proximity that morning; there is no way Joey would not have been able to hear Dawson's voice as he talked with Pacey. The living room was close enough to the kitchen, so it doesn't make sense that Joey wouldn't have known Dawson was there and if she did-she would have gone to talk to him.
