* InformedAbility: Dawson's directing skills. Although many of the shows plotlines revolve around Dawson's genius directing ability, what the audience primarily sees are rough or rejected projects. However, we know he is talented because an [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]] will land him an award or his final gig as a TV series director.

Its gimmick was to show teenagers as well-spoken individuals with [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness vocabularies]] that would make [[CalvinAndHobbes Calvin]] dizzy, rather than resort to the usual TV [[TotallyRadical teenspeak]]. Fans of the show praised its respectful portrayal of how teens talk and think. Others were less enthralled by the characters' habit of twisting every minor thing into [[ContemplateOurNavels a monologue on life's mysteries]].

Everyone can agree on one thing, though: Few works of man, past or present, can ''ever'' top the maudlin ferocity of ''Dawson's Creek''. The show inspired such passionate feelings that it indirectly spawned TelevisionWithoutPity (originally called "Dawson's Wrap").

* ShooOutTheNewGuy: Each season introduced new characters (love interests, old friends, antagonists etc) who would be involved with the main cast, only to disappear and never be seen again by season's end. Notable examples include Nikki Green, Drue Valentine, Gretchen Witter, and Charlie Todd.

**Drue was essentially being setup to return for a another season (as evidenced by the fact that he even told Jen that they were going to the same college after graduation). Unfortunately for Drue, The WB forced Chad Michael Murray onto the show after failing to find a starring project for him (this was right after his "Lone Ranger" pilot failed) which meant Drue was out and Drue-clone Charlie Todd was in.

* ActorAllusion: In the Season 1 episode "Detention," they're discussing the movie {{The Breakfast Club}}, and Pacey (played by Joshua Jackson, one of whose earliest roles was as Charlie Conway in {{Film/The Mighty Ducks}}) disagrees with the others that Emilio Estevez is languishing in TV obscurity.
--> '''Pacey''': No way! Emilio Estevez, he was in [[Film/TheMightyDucks those Duck movies]], remember? God, those were classic. So funny!\\
(Pacey laughs to himself, while the others look at him blankly.)\\
