Anecdotes
A poster for the horror film Scream (1996) as well as the Ghostface mask from the film can be seen in Dawson's room. Scream was written by Dawson's Creek creator Kevin Williamson.

Gaffes
When Hannah von Wenning is telling another contestant that Joey is a "Charity Case," she says that Joey lives in a trailer. Joey and Bessie's home is a house, not a trailer.

Citations
Joey: I'd like to tell today's youth that no matter where life takes you, big cities, small towns, you'll inevitably come across small minds. People who think that they're better than you are. People who think that material things, or being pretty or popular automatically makes you a worth while human being. I'd like to tell today's youth that none of these things matter unless you have strength of character, integrity, sense of pride, and if you're lucky enough to have any of these things... don't ever sell them. Don't ever sell out. So when you meet a person for the first time, please don't judge them by their station on life, because, who knows, that person just might end up being your best friend. Thank you.

Classic with some puzzlingly bad lines

Good idea for an episode in terms of increasing the platonic/non-platonic relationship between Dawson and Joey, and excellent performances by the cast--particularly Katie Holmes--carry the episode.

There are few terrible lines early in the episode that suddenly try to make Joey into a radical feminist that flop badly and will make you cringe; for example, there is promotion of the debunked 'gender gap' in the dialogue, and of the thoroughly debunked 'men are conditioned to be attracted to a certain kind of woman' (Dr. Randy Thornhill and other top evolutionary biologists have absolutely crushed this weak perspective).

Thankfully those superficial and ill-informed lines mostly die out, and the episode is another solid one in a classic opening season.
