One of the reasons I adored Joey and Pacey so much, is because of Joey’s genuine love for him. It never felt like she was actually in love with Dawson. She idolised him because of all the things he represented in her life. Dawson was the kind of guy she thought she should be with. Pacey taught her to love unconditionally. It wasn’t because we liked Pacey more as a character that we wanted them to end up together, it was because watching them made us believe in True Love. Together, they were magic. They blurred the lines of fiction and reality. We never felt like we were watching a story, it genuinely felt like we were watching a couple who were completely besotted with each other. I liked Joey and Dawson as friends, but the whole soulmate thing felt like it was constantly being forced on the audience, which made it less believable.

The writers forgot to put Dawson and Joey in fun situations. To show rather than tell the audience that they had chemistry or loved each other.
@tammysutton72448 ай бұрын
@@167logan YES! I say that all the time. We here them talk about Dawson being there for Joey when her mom died and they use the word soulmate all the time, but we never really witness them being there for each or even seeming like they love each other

The love triangle was exhasperating and not interesting at all. It was way too much back and forth, like they squeezed that topic way too much for it to be catching...And I also feel like once they put Pacey and Joey together, the show finally made some sense. Their romance was the only truly interesting one. Every other romance in the series was very superficial and lacked any meaning in my opinion. I felt like the writers only used them to fill in the gaps. While Joey and Pacey's romance just fit in very well, and they had very goot chemistry. I am not sure if the actors themselves had chemistry or their characters, but they definately were the only ones who catched my interest.

It a case of what happens with a lot of these type of shows. The male lead is usually never the popular character (broody, moody, serious, deem whiney and seen as the complete opposite of his more interesting best friend/rival) but his best friend and sidekick (deem witty, sarcastic and charismatic) is the one fans of the show will flock to especially if he is seen as the underdog compare to his best friend who life is sometimes more charmed and bless. And the chemistry between the unexpected coupling is nearly always seen as much stronger compare to the couple that the show is putting together especially if the actually actors are romantically involve with each other in real life. It comes down to a lot of the viewers in my opinion not liking to being told who to root for in two characters being together but more a case of them wanting to see it for themselves. Although sometimes the actual ratings for these shows show an eventual decline in viewingship numbers when they make changes even if certain fans show their support for the changes as is the case for DC as their first two series/seasons were their strongest in viewingship numbers. Another series that springs to mind of this is TVD. So for me no surprise in how this came about or why some think this way but I'm definitely is one of those (even if I'm in the smaller team) that was one that never rooted for this pairing in it's entire run on DC.

Pacey deserved better. Jen deserved WAY better. Dawson and Joey deserved each other. Both spoilt, entitled, needy, pathetic brats that were so dependent on each other that they couldn't hold on to something better for themselves. Both selfish. Both give up or make others feel like shit (Joey's treatment of Jen, Dawson's treatment of Pacey LONG before Pacey "stole" Joey from a guy who not only didn't even wanna be with her, but didn't want PACEY to "win" her because in Dawson's mind? Pacey wasn't worthy of anything that was either labelled "Dawson's" or of even being HAPPY! Even though inside? I think he KNEW that Pacey was much a better suited fit for his so-called "soulmate". Dawson and Joey always compare everything to each other, hold each other back, make each other angry, sad, bitter, resentful, jealous, brinkering on INSANE! I think they were content for what? 10 minutes in one episode? Then it was all about "will they/won't they, oh look they're smili....nevermind! Oh look, they love each other and are gonna get back together, they're back together, oh hold up, they've broken up again. Oh Joey finally got her man, she must be so happ... huh? Dumped him for some new guy who turns out to be gay! Now he's gone, there they go all happy, but wait, there's Joey hating him for doing the right thing with her dad.... Oh it didn't work out with the RIGHT guy for you, back in Dawson's room before you go off to your colleges, oh oh, Dawson got yelled at and is now dropping out of his college to bw with Joey... looks like they're finally... Crap. Mitch died **one eternity later** THEY FINALLY DID IT! They had an amazing night of lovemaking, this is it... aaaand Dawson messed up yet again so Joey throws him away... yet again" **Another eternity later** A DECISION HAS BEEN MADE! PACEY WINS HEART OF OUR RESIDENT BITCH! Soooo six + timejump of 5 years into their future only for them to NOT end up together after all of the above... So the point waaaas??? Only thing I got from D & J was their ability to cure my insomnia. P & J gave me some laughter, joy, tears, but mostly? Anger at her lack of tact, her constant put downs, her putting Dawson first... well... after herself, of course, and her constant moody, whiney, inconsiderate bitchery that made Pacey feel even worse about himself than he was already made to feel! At least with Dawson and Jen Part II, we saw more of a HEALTHY relationship, which should have been endgame for them both... I honestly loved Dawson with Jen. She brought out the best in him. She didn't put him down or make him feel second best. Even he had it in him, at least for a few episodes, to accept Jen for the amazing person she was, not compare her or even let Joey rule his brain for once, and we saw both being genuinely happy, cute, and fun with each other! The only genuinely brilliant "soulmate" relationship on the show? Was Jen and Jack. The best developed character was Grams. And the best all-around character in general? Was, for me, Pacey, then Jen and Grams (on par), then Jack.

Dawson and Jen after Mitch death, their relation was so complete and healthy. Pacey and Andie, she needs him, Pacey felt more secure and he was protective like she did, with Joey he felt totally insecure the whole time, for me it's Dawson and Jen, Pacey and Andie.

not in the slightest. When she breaks up with him in s3 , he stays away from her whilst Dawson chases after her trying to reignite their relationship. The whole s3 finale is about Pacey leaving town for the summer because he doesn't want to watch Joey and Dawson getting back together.
