"Dawson's Creek" and The Houses of
Worship
By Shelly Lyons
Unless you're
an ardent foe of
pop culture and
neither read
popular literature
nor watch TV,
you've heard
about The WB's
"Dawson's
Creek," which
premiered
January 20th.
Thousands of would-be viewers are yet excluded from "Dawson"
frenzy because The WB hasn't an affiliate in their area, but if you are
not one of the 'left out,' you've probably cast a glance at the new teen
drama about Dawson and his sexually awakening friends in an idyllic
Atlantic Coast town.
Not even a younger, hornier Ray Bradbury
could paint the always-autumnal sea-side
sex-fest in teen Nirvana. But "Scream" author
Kevin Williamson has fashioned something that
millions of viewers flock to each week, making
"Dawson's Creek" the no. 1 show on the
three-year-old network.
We can thank or curse Williamson all we
want, but the magnets that draw in the eyeballs
take the form of gorgeous young people. Instant
fame for Katie Holmes was predicted by the
smacks-chopping critics. Lesser fame for the others. But fame,
nonetheless, for all.
UltimateTV decided to cruise the Web to see which of the series'
four leads -- James Van Der Beek (Dawson), Michelle Williams
(Jennifer), Joshua Jackson (Pacey), Katie Holmes (Joey) -- had the
most fan pages. We refer to them as Houses of Worship, and if
you've ever cruised a fan page, you'll know why.
Joshua Jackson: 7 Websites
What is more tantalizing than a teenage
'Everyman' who can effectively woo and nail
a drop-dead gorgeous teacher (played by
LeAnn Hunley) with the same goofy wit and
sardonic smirk with which he conducts all
other teenage business? Sure, Jackson
already had a fan base due to his "Mighty
Duck" movies, but UltimateTV is of the
opinion that straight-shooting Pacey is
what's melting the hearts and spawning his
Houses of Worship:
All I Know About Joshua
Jackson.
We clicked and were transported
to GeoCities. We were then
informed that All I Know About Joshua Jackson "does not exist." So
we got to thinking that they probably don't know too much.
"Joshua Jackson"
Seems to be written by a big "Mighty Ducks" fan, the movie
that gave Josh a name and allowed him to work with Emilio
Estevez. News bits, article links, a brief biography and plenty of
pictures comprise the site. These people aren't fanatics, they're just
really interested in Jackson's career and personal life.
Heeda's Josh Jackson Page
Claims to be his first unofficial page and contains news, his
film history, links and pictures.
Pacey's Place

You know someone means business when you get a
pop-up ad on the front page. Beneath a picture of Josh in a
Mighty Duck's uniform is a quote from the mouth of precocious
fifteen-year-old Pacey: "I'm the best sex you'll never have." Pacey's
Place is the only site cruised so far that includes a whole page of
other super cool lines Josh has delivered on "Dawson's" and in his
movies.
Sassy Stef's Page

Created by "a Fanatical Joshua Jackson Fan," Stef is one
of the 'Paceygirls' links from Pacey's Place. Once in, you
realize that Stef is also fanatical about "Titanic," NASA/Space links,
vegetarianism, and "the best week" of her life: The Congressional
Youth Leadership Conference.

A picture of a younger Josh on the cover of Bop magazine
greets you in all its preteen splendor. Interviews, movie
reviews, a bio and links can be found if you scroll to the bottom of the
giant picture.
