This relationship is the one thing which gets me to watch the show. Dawson and Joey are perhaps the quintessential example of a couple of people who are more perfect for one another than anything else in the world but still aren't together. The most interesting thing about their relationship is how individual they are. Each has a separate personality and strong opinions, but can still find a common ground to interact with one another. The ease and honesty in which they communicate shows how deep their relationship is and how much they trust one another.
 
I'll admit that my favorite line from the show (and one of the most infamous ones overall) was when Joey asked Dawson how often he "walked his dog". (If you don't get it, don't worry about it...;) ) She did it mainly to prove to him how their relationship had changed and how they couldn't share everything with eachother anymore. They were growing apart because they were growing up. He didn't say anything, and so she climbed out his window and went to the dock (yeah, no one uses doors and everyone has boats) Then, as she prepared to leave he leaned out his window and screamed after her "In the morning, before school." It was really one of the most brilliant moments in the show because it was utterly spontanous and the look on her face as she burst out laughing was SO incredible. The characters (as well as the actors who play them) have incredible chemistry.

Then what's the problem, you ask? Where did this utopia go wrong? Well, aside from the fact that Dawson, much like alot of guys is CLUELESS when it comes to Joey's feelings, there's also the blond "bombshell" Jen.
 
 I put bombshell in quotations because I just don't see it. Jen is NOWHERE near as cute as Joey and has about half the personality. Nevertheless, she's Dawson's girlfriend. And, in the words of Willow, he's dating a skanky ho. Well...was dating. Currently "la skankita" is trying to hustle Dawson back from Joey as a part of a very unexpected truly AWESOME reversal of the classic love triangle. NOW Dawson wants Joey who is holding off more and Jen wants Dawson. In the season finale, (those of you who missed it, kick yourself now..), our lovable couple KISSED!!! As in, sucked face, as in, got jiggy wit it!! (I was shrieking) For those of you who missed this blessed and wondrous event, you can actually SEE THE KISS in REALVIDEO (you'll need a realvideo player to view it, but the player is free and easy to use). Just follow this link and you'll be there. The site this clip is located at pretty much deserves to be the Official Site in my book (thanks to Teri the goddess for
finding this site and pointing me in the right direction!) It's incredible.
For those of you who are unable to download or view the clip, I snagged a pic of the scene from the exact same site (definitely worth a check and a bookmark from you DC fans).
 
 

Anyway, the Pacey thing is still up in the air but as far as I'm concerned...I honestly think they'd be cute toghether. Pacey's definitely The Man in my book. He's cute, exceedingly funny and not clueless.
Rare qualties in those humans with the cursed Y chromosomes (sorry boys, that all girls' high school thing comes back once in a while... ;) )

Oh, here's a TERRIFIC and really funny site I found (which y'all should go visit, like NOW).Before I tell you about it...I just wanted to say that I have nothing against Michelle Williams the actress, just Jen the character okay? Cool, the name of the site is I HATE JEN and I just found it and it's awesome LOL.
