The One With Jack's Poem...
9 October 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This is episode is simply amazing. It has so much drama, and so much heart. This is one of the best episodes of Dawson's Creek from the entire series, and is definitely one of my all- time favorite episodes, in the Top 10. It's so moving, and makes me so distraught at the same time. It is such a powerful element behind it. When someone comes out as gay on a TV show, where it is so unexpected, you are bound to be surprised. And I absolutely hate the teacher. He had no right to do what he did. I cannot believe how much I love this episode. I feel so much for Jack. Even a decade later, where gay rights are slowly getting to where they should be, this episode just moves me. And I hope is anyone who is gay watches this, it helps them. Wow, I just so got so philosophical.

In this episode, Jack writes a poem for his English class, but little did he know that his teacher was going to force to read it aloud for the entire class. His poem was about his thoughts, about other men, and when word gets around Capeside High, things just get worse for him. Pacey tries to defend Jack, and his rights, to his English teacher, and ends up getting in trouble after he assaults his teacher.

Worst part of the episode: Mr. Peterson, the English teacher.

Overall, I give this episode a 10 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Freaking Ridonkulous.
