3 months on a boat together-didn’t pressure her into sex and read to her every night whilst holding her hand, to say Pacey was the best guy is an understatement-tv and movies don’t come close to how great he actually was. I mean I’m yet to see another character that’s that Witty and still caring all in one. Nobody gives guys the little things anymore. And I really love how they gave him lines that made everyone think he knew her better than Dawson did.
@@az21bob666 What are you talking about? Joey said that Dawson knew her past but she wants Pacey to know her future as they were dating just for couple of months at that point when Dawson knew her for her entire life. Also, Dawson was selfish with her and wanted her to do things he wanted all the time, while Pacey gave her space, he supported her dreams and passions, he was always there for her. He literally drove to pick her up from another town after her break up. Pacey had insecurities, which was always the reason why a fight started between them cause he felt he is not good enough for her and that she deserves better and he was afraid she loves Dawson more.
she told pacey after almost a year of dateing dawson know me BEST, in ten years that would be you, she also said that becosue pecey throw a fit, ( so yea if they were still together in 10 then pacey may know her best but they broke up so it did not happen.) second take a break from your dawson hate, and ask yourselves when name one time that dawson only wanted her to do thinks he wanted, he push and paid for her to do her art and college, there is not one time were he force her to do anything, dawson like do you want to watch a move, she said yea, that not forceing and you forget they watch move and talk, that no different then when pacey was over and they talked. you bashing dawson for something he did not do.
Pacey said to Joey that he remembers everything, I truly believe Dawson didn’t know that it was her mothers bracelet. He didn’t show interest in her art- not in the way Pacey did. Pacey defended her when her art was ruined and helped her. You can say whatever you want but when it came to the show, showing Joey’s life and interest- Pacey helped her and Dawson was no where to be seen. Sitting in Dawson’s room watching him obsess over films only tells you about him, not her. She lived in his shadow and it was mentioned.
@@az21bob666 I don’t think Dawson is necessarily bad I just don’t think they worked as a couple. Dawson also made fun of her art when she first started to get into it. He was pushing her to choose him. Not to choose who she actually loves but that she needs to choose him. He did let her go to Pacey at the end but fiest he was making ultimatums. He also only states to like her when she dressed up for the beauty pageant. Pacey just showed up for her more and I just think overall he was a better partner. Like honestly most of not all fights between Pacey and Joey were because Pacey was scared about Joey liking Dawson more than him which she clearly did not. Not in the romantic sense. Not anymore and not as strongly as before. But Pacey didn’t believe in himself and therefore didn’t believe Joey could actually love him and that crated most of the conflict. I am also just on the 4th season and Dawson at this point is the less mature and more selfish one based on the actions of both characters.
I just love how joey’s parents weren’t around so she appreciated action (like someone buying her a wall) and Pacey had parents who were verbally abusive so he appreciated words (Joey’s specialty) Talk about love languages
Agreed. In a early 2000s setting they shown that a family is made of people who care about one another, and love each one, not only blood. Amazing show
I still remember the first time I watched it, and she picked Pacey, I was so shocked and happy, genuinely thought there was no way a show called 'Dawson's Creek' would have anyone other than him get the girl in the end
Tishima Reid yea Pacey was a true ride or die. People don't understand at this time, being gay was not accepted and no straight dude was gonna stick up for you. So for Pacey to do that was dope!
i would pick the moment Joey picks Pacey over Dawson in the third season's finale- the epic Dawson cry face and the beautiful picture of Joey and Pacey sailing away together
Or she picked Pacey over Dawson in the series finale after Jen's funeral and at the end, they are sitting on the couch watching Dawson's show and Pacey is crying while the while watching scene where the charactors kiss like Dawson and Joey did at the end of the first season. I Thought it came full circle!
@@az21bob666 nah she said, things would’ve been different if Dawson didn’t react the way he did when he heard about Pacey and Joey, meaning that she would’ve never broken off the relationship that her and Pacey started to devleop
What I hate is that Jens parents weren’t even there when she dying in the hospital and they weren’t at her funeral. That really proves that they didn’t love her.
To me, the most iconic moment of the show, perhaps it's most defining moment that had the greatest knock-on effect throughout the series, was Dawson catching Pacey and Joey outside his house talking about their relationship. That was just peak teen soap opera!
I mean it was about so much more than about Dawson so I wouldn't even call it Pacey's Creek cause I was also really invested in Jack's storyline for example.
Pacey and Joey foreverrr. It was the first time I didn’t want the main leads of a show to end up together. Pacey and Joey ‘s chemistry’s out of this world. That made me fall more in love with the show. They’re so perfect together.
Btw I was so shocked and happy when they ended up together I was not expecting that and it was amazing. The show had the best series finale ever. Even tho Jen broke my heart.
@@jsisaza94 Man, I hate to agree. When I say that this show was the most relatable thing and closest anything comes to depicting my love life. I always saw myself as Dawson, being in love with my girl best friend for the last 4 years of highschool, watching this show at 18, now 19 and never having been in a relationship. She had a boyfriend the middle two years but we were still so close, debatably more than them. Every class, we had together, sat together over our friends. Until the last year of highschool, where she tells me they broke up cause she realised she was talking to me more than him. I had learned to bury my feelings years back and was finally moved on. She has a party at hers and I get with this chick I like and then later in the night we are sitting together and after years of flirtation remarks and hypothetically beating around the bush, we kissed and that night slept together. Things are great for months, we had agreed it was just benefits and would stop if it was weird but I believe after my friends were talking about us “dating” she got scared and called things quits. Things weren’t weird, so I said I needed space, not talking for a couple months until the day her grandma passed and was hysterical asking if we could talk. We spoke all day, bought her lunch/dinner/coffee and go home and I tell myself I think I’m ready to be friends again but when I get home my friend tells me they fucked the night before, which destroyed me. She tells me her seeing me with another girl the night before made her realise how much she liked me, so we try again for a couple months and great until she goes distant again. After finally talking, she elaborates that she just knew it wasn’t going to work from early on after sleeping, but just needed to know and needed to try which I can respect. I ask if it was cause she never really was attracted to me and she reluctantly agrees. We spoke for the last time in December ‘20 and I haven’t seen her since, I watched Dawson’s creek shortly after and seeing Pacey end with Joey felt like finally putting the nail in it being truly over and the “best friend” not getting the girl in the end, which stung.
CASTAWAYS!!! Great honorable mentions at the end. Castaways is my favorite go-to standalone episode! Having Pacey and Joey together, alone for the whole episode, was like manna from heaven! NO other two characters on that show could have pulled it off. I loved Jack and Jen, but I can't imagine what they could do or talk about for forty-five minutes that would have kept me interested the whole time, especially at that time in Season 6. Pacey and Joey could have carried an episode by themselves at ANY time, even in Season ONE, and it STILL would have been riveting! (Hunting snails, anyone? Even that was fun!) Love this compilation, MsMojo, and thanks for the memories!
You are so right-they could carry a 5 hour show as their chemistry and characters were perfect and after the writers wrecked it for us all this episode made the previous 1.5 years tolerable. Katie and Josh were soooooooo freakin great and no one of this genre has come close since !!!!
Yeah, the episode where she locks herself in the bathroom as she's having a mental breakdown is one of my favorites (and such a sad poignant moment for her character).
100 % agree. Andie and Pacey were my fave couple. I personally disliked Joey and Pacey together. Joey was one of the most annoying characters on that show. I also really liked Andie's journey with mental health. I hated when they had her cheat on Pacey and eventually wrote her out of the show.
I loved Pacey & Andie. They were my favorite couple. That’s why I had trouble getting on board with Pacey & Joey. The scene of her in the bathroom was epic. Both actors did an amazing job. I wish they would have spent more time on mental illness
I imagined Pacey being my boyfriend in high school lol. Him and Joey will forever be epic. Joey and Dawson were blah. Now that this is on Netflix, life is complete!
I think joey/pacey had the best chemistry because they actually dated for awhile during season 2, I believe. Also, michelle williams is a powerhouse actress. She totally steals the show. Even at a young age its like she already drew from a deep emotional well. Also, love her friendship with jack! This show was huge for me.
Jennifer was a Powerhouse, need actress. Didn't like your character much. Definitely don't like her as an adult now, just because of personal reasons. Her speech at the Golden Globes or something, bragging on the right to choose made it possible for her to win an award... Was the gist of the speech. Which is a little sickening. I'm for right to choose, but how she said it and boasted about the actual act it seemed. Was disgusting but I'm glad she wanted a ward, I'm glad she became more famous and wealthy and Rich because of her right to choose. Ramble ramble ramble. I know. I'll never forget that speech. I'm guessing people worship her for being so gutsy to do it. To each their own
I never valued Michelle Williams during the show as much as I should. Being not fluent in English back than I watched the German dubbed version. Seeing it in English a few years back made me realize how much my perception of her was negatively influenced by her German voice.
17Sandisc so is that a given that all DC fans know all the defying episodes name and number of Joey & Pacey lmao. I could probably name them all from Season 3 😅
ya i honestly love watching dawson bitch and moan that whole ep. Like honestly correct me if I'm wrong but when dawson and andi found out about pacey and joey, andi was hurt, of course at first but put those feelings aside and was there for pacey telling him he can't run from jo and has to tell her how he feels. She did all that when she was still in love with him. Dawson on the other hand made it about himself and turned it all on joey instead of thinking for a moment that she was happy with him. He choose his own happiness over hers. Over both theirs.
Remember when Dawson almost KILLED Pacey in that boat race and then Joey was just like "you're both ridiculous" Even though all Pacey did was just not drop out of the race? I was always mad she didn't stand up for him here.
I remember watching the first season and not really caring/paying much attention to Pacey - I figured he was just going to be the cliche side-kick character for Dawson and at that time I was all about Dawson and Joey’s will-they won’t-they to even care about Pacey sleeping with his teacher storyline (which I knew wouldn’t go anywhere anyway) but something changed for me in S2 and I just became transfixed by Pacey. I knew this bc for all of S1 I use to roll my eyes whenever he would enter the scene but somewhere in S2 my perception of him changed and he became the reason I kept on watching. Looking back I think it was because I could relate to him on that screw up/dark horse/hating school level and by the time S3 came he had completely over taken Dawson by miles, to me he was the main character of the show now and even though Joey pissed me off beyond belief they did have the BEST chemistry out of everyone on that show and the most romantic, intimate and memorable moments of the whole series. I’ve never in my life watched a show where the original “side-kick” had more development and things happen to him over the span of the entire series than the main character himself. Dawson quickly harnessed being a self-loathing man-child while Pacey just sucked it up and kept on going the best that he could while at the same time saying what we were all thinking, I think that’s why I love and still remember this show because of Pacey. Whether you like him or not, you can’t deny that Joshua’s talent didn’t carry that show from the cringy-twitchy beginning (Joey and Dawson) to a wholesome love story between two underdogs (Joey and Pacey).
since none of that is true, dawson became a big time director that was at peace with himeslf, pacey was a little bitch sleeping with a marry women, and crying why cant i have a restaurant in LA or new york.
@@az21bob666 Dawson becoming a director was such a lazy and predictable ending. He did nothing the entire series except that one movie with that British guy then all of a sudden he’s working with Steven Spielberg?! It’s not realistic. Pacey moving from job to job trying to figure out his life after high school was believable AND relatable. He had the most character development out of the original cast - and that is what story telling should be. So we’re just going to have to agree to disagree ✌️
I see again you have no idea what you talking about he did at least 5 moive, they won awards, he work with a holly wood director, wrote screen plays, and since the GUY that made the show was dawson this is how he got the show made, ( well same steps) and no he was a cook after highschool, and brought a bar at his home town, sleeping with a married women and bitching that he wanted to be in LA or new york, still a child.
Excuse me there’s no need to speak to me like that. I haven’t said anything to you that should warrant such a passive aggressive attitude. I’m stating *my opinion* on a show and it’s characters. Not you personally. You’ve made you’re opinion quite clear -which is fine. Yet you continue to undermine and discourage mine.
so heartbreaking.. did she end up believing in Jesus at the end, Jen? Or did Gran begin believing God loves all his people and Hell is probably consist of very little people
Joey and Dawson’s first kiss at the end of season 1 was iconic as well. I watched the first season as it unfolded in the 90’s and the tension built so perfectly for that moment. Their friendship was the central relationship of the show-even the great romance with Joey and Pacey was only great because it could be chosen over the incredibly deep soulmate connection of Joey and Dawson.
Jen's death emotionally destroyed me i really love the show but i can't watch it again because every time i will see Jen i will be thinking that she will die and she will never see her daughter grow up. She was so young she had all her life ahead of her it breaks my heart.
So many beautiful moments! I loved when Pacey met Andi, Dawson and Joey's first kiss, Pacey and Joey falling in love, Jen's general growth with Jack as her bff and her video to her daughter, etc. The first time between Joey and Pacey was so sweet! I was a huge fan of DC when it was on. So dang good
I grew up in the town that Dawson’s Creek filmed. I lived right by the creek and always wanted to be like Dawson and go to film school. I grew up and went out to California for film school. Love this show
YAY!!!! I've been waiting for this video for SOOOOOOO long. I'm super happy right now. You literally picked the perfect moments. I'm glad there were so many Pacey Joey moments. They were the show. They deserved the number one spot. Thank you for making this. I loved PJ and Dawson's creek as a whole. 😍😘
@@az21bob666 Yeah. Exactly. Buying and leasing a wall is a massive deal. Corporations send people to college all the time. But something so deeply linked to her mother such as buying a wall to create an art is much more impactful.
az21bob666 she didn't remember that sacrifice made by dawson to further her education only to remember a wall well dawson was boring and not that funny with a little romantic
I just remembered that this november is going to be 16 years since i watched DC for the first time. I was 13 and had a bit of a crush on Josh Jackson after watching 'Skulls'. Randomly changing channels i saw him, it was the episode where Pacey has a study session with Andie and ends up taking care of her mother who had a crisis on the market. Of course after seeing that my crush went major but then the series was really good and it always takes me back to my teen years. Still feels like yesterday
I’ve got to say.....I liiiiiived this show in my teen days. As a normal teen, I thought love should be like “love” was portrayed in the show. I was so unnecessary dramatic, insecure, jealous and immature , I was trying to live their lives and trying to find a love as the ones they were having. I was really too naive to spot the difference between reality and a tv story. I made my life a crazy a self esteem and love tragedy. Believe me, I messed all my relationships up (until the age of 30) trying to unconsciously replicate these intense loves. It took me 15 years to realized what I have been doing and how bad I was sabotaging my life. I didn’t have any critical thinking skill when I was 15 and those patterns followed me until I learned real life and love.....well, I will always love this show...always!
Knock knock, hey it's Puberty here. Just came to say bye, you thought you got rid of me once you got your period but guess what, I've been messing with you and your hormones this whole time 🤷🏻♀️no hard feelings ok? My job here is done.
this show will always have a place in my heart mainly because of the last seasons they continued to keep the show authentic and the finale was just beautiful cheesy yet wonderful
Abby's death was so weird and definitely shocking. I felt bad for Jen it truly missed her up. Mitch's accident threw me for a loop and I felt so much sympathy for Gale and Dawson.
Just finished watching the whole series at 40 year old - I loved it, forgot how amazing it was and enjoyed every minute, the 💔 last episode is probably the best ending to any of it's kind - thank you Capeside crew....see you soon child....soon
This show was so good! It did what Beverly Hills, 90210 couldn't do - Dylan and Brenda. They created storylines and they actually listened to what the fans wanted. Pacey and Joey ended up together. They didn't have to kill off Jen but.. it's all good. When Dawson found out the truth about Joey and Pacey was great. But nobody can do it better than Brenda finding out when Dylan and Kelly cheated on her. Classic!!! I love Jack's coming out poem, but I love how Pacey fought for his right... This list is perfect.
sweetlikez right, Pacey sticking up for a gay friend was a huge moment! Killing off Jen made her whole life a tradegy. It was a harsh ending for her character indeed
But why? Dawson behaved like a primadonna. Two teenagers are kissing, so what? Who cares??? When Dawson and Jen started their thing, Joey didn't threaten to break off her friendship with either of them... 🙄
Pacey & Jen were the best characters. I Always thought that Dawson & Joey were annoying. Andy was also pretty cool before the writers ruined her character for Joey/pacey
It is great to relive these moments. But I think too many were about the parents. There’s so much more. Dawson & Joeys kiss deserved a spot in the top 3. Dawson paying for Joeys college. Joey & Dawson’s kiss when he was packing to leave for college early. This show was so incredible. There are so many awesome moments
Michelle Williams is my favorite from the cast. She was so pretty. She also became the most successful from the cast with so many acting nominees and awards. The Marilyn Monroe movie was my favorite that she was in. She played Marilyn Monroe perfect.
for me the most unforgettable and iconic moment is when joey picks pacey over dawson in the season 3 finale and dawson watches her leaving to go to pacey and does the legendary crying face
I only started to watch the show couple weeks ago and knowing Jen dies and how she dies is going to be extremely hard because my cousin died for a similar reason and she also become a mom just couple years back. It is already heartbreaking to me and they also look similar.
I never was able to watch Dawson's Creek from start to finish. But it was a trip for a 40 something dude.I just never thought that kid on the Jr, Sr years of high school were like this.
I still love this show even after all these years. Pacey and Joey are my otp. The #4 is not the first real kiss. That happen at the end of “a Cinderella story” on the side I’d the road. Although I agree that the kiss you show is the better one because was the first time Joey was honest about her feelings for Pacey and the first time she kissed him first.
@LaureneB82 Joey pushed him away in season one but the first real kiss is when Pacey drove to Boston to pick her up and they had a fight. Pacey stop the car on the side of the road and kiss Joey. The episode was a Cinderella story
I might be in the minority but I really wanted Dawson & Joey to end up together and Pacey & Andie to end up together. When Joey picked Pacey in the series finale, I felt like I wasted six years of my life.
