It's goodbye to Capeside, hello to Boston in Dawson's Creek's fifth season (a.k.a.: Dawson's Creek: The College Years). While the end of the fourth season sent the five friends their separate ways--Dawson (James Van Der Beek) to USC Film School, Joey (Katie Holmes) to Worthington College, Jen (Michelle Williams) and Jack (Kerr Smith) to Boston Bay College; and Pacey (Joshua Jackson) to the high seas--it doesn't take them long to find themselves together again. That's a good thing, especially when tragedy strikes a family member and threatens to tear the survivors apart.
More than anything, the fifth season seems to be about falling into bad relationships. Jen dates a cute but sleazy musician (Chad Michael Murray, One Tree Hill), Pacey gets a job in a restaurant where he pursues a woman (Lourdes Benedicto) already having an affair with a married man, then fends off a vampish new boss (Sherilyn Fenn, Twin Peaks). Joey is drawn to her handsome English professor (Ken Marino). And Jack joins a frat, becomes a jerk, and starts a devoted relationship with his beer bottle. Dawson meets an eccentric young filmmaker (Jordan Bridges) which in turn leads to a meeting with his favorite Boston film critic (Meredith Salenger). And Joey's new roommate, the annoyance-with-a-heart-of-gold Audrey (Busy Phillipps), becomes the newest major addition to the cast. The irritation factor is high this season, a couple of 'Joey is threatened' interludes don't have the punch that they could have, and in the season finale, the inevitable resolution of the show's central relationship doesn't really resolve anything at all. But viewers who have followed the Capeside crew for four seasons will still want to see what happens in the fifth.
The fifth season is the first to have no DVD extras at all, and it continues the music-replacement strategy (which, since the second season has replaced much of the music, and since the third season has replaced Paula Cole's theme song, all due to licensing expenses). In addition to the usual background-music switches, some scenes have been edited (for example, the episode 'Highway to Hell' has cut two of the performances on-stage at the Drunk & Dead). Also, the opening credits of 'The Long Goodbye' and 'Downtown Crossing' had originally used instrumental versions of 'I Don't Want to Wait,' which had underscored the emotion of those episodes. In the DVD set, those have been replaced by the standard version and an instrumental version, respectively, of 'Run Like Mad.' --David Horiuchi

I'VE BOUGHT THE COMPLETE SERIES: 6 SEASONS AND SERIES FINALE, RECOMMENDED 4 DAWNSON'S CREEKS FANS
Rating: - New setting breathes new life into the show!
After a average fourth season which quickly became dull after the never ending battles to win Joey's affection (Dawson and Pacey), Season 5 of Dawson's Creek was bound to be a breath of fresh air. The characters left Capeside to go to college in California and Boston, and the Joey-Dawson-Pacey problems were finally resolved. The truth is, after reading one too many reviews on how mediocre this Fifth season was, I was definitely reluctant to but it. What I found after watching the first few episodes, ... Read More
Rating:  - Not Worth $50
I loved Dawson's Creek, but it has had one of the worst if not the worst transitions on to DVD. First of all, the trademark theme song "I Don't Wanna Wait" has been replaced. Second, most of the original music has been taken out and replace with bland songs that don't always fit. Thirdly, episode 17 is actually missing scenes because Katie Holmes sings songs that apparently they couldn't secure the rights to and episode 11 has had the song being sung by the actress switched. Fourthly, all 22 episodes ... Read More
Rating:  - This show FELL APART in season 5.
The characters were all seperated and it kept the drama and the interesting interaction and dramatic life moments spread out and minimum.
The season was less interesting than the previous, with the exception of some very major moments in Dawson's family. The relationships were less interesting. I mean, Charlie & Joey??? Give me a break.
But the main thing that bugged me was the grasping for straws storytelling and the technical disasters. The writing? First of all. Charlie ... Read More
Rating: - It really bugs me...
...that they changed most of the music in these DVD's. I grew up with this show and I was deeply affected by how they would pick out songs with lyrics that matched the scene that was happening. The music was a strong focus of mine for this show and to change over most of the catalog was entirely disappointing. I have also read that they do not intend on ever releasing a collection with all the original music due to legal reasons. So I have no intention of owning this collection again, which is a shame, ...
