So in the interest of serious debate...which part did you all like best? I didn't think I'd like it when they left capeside their home town which of course I can't remember the name of, but actually the college bit was actually really good!

I also loved the big double bill where they killed Abbie, I sobbed and sobbed!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 19/05/2012 22:40

My favourite episode was the beauty pageant when Joey sang On My Own!

BigHairyFlowers · 19/05/2012 22:44

Favourite bit ever was when they were at Dawson's aunt's doing karaoke, with Dawson and Joey singing 'Daydream Believer' and Pacey gets all wobbly and has to go outside.

That was a long sentence, think I got overexcited and lost the ability to punctuate.. I'm in my 40s ffs!!!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 19/05/2012 22:51

Oh yes and then Pacey and Joey have a snog outside! Emotional turmoil!

IAmBooyhoo · 19/05/2012 22:51

damn you OP i'm going to have to get the boz set out and start all over again to see what my favourite bit was.

actually i think my favourite bit was when they were all older and they revealed that pace's brother (doug?) was indeed gay and was seeing jack!

PandaNot · 19/05/2012 22:57

The end of the episode at Aunt Gwen's was even better than the bit after the karaoke, where they're by the campfire and Joey kisses him instead. Also the end of season 3 (not that ever I've considered what the best bits are!)

LRDtheFeministDragon · 19/05/2012 22:57

Oh, I'd forgotten so much of this and it's all coming back to me ... it used to be the perfect thing to watch in the mornings with a huuuuge mug of coffee (and, erm, my AS revision because I was a total swot).

It'd just be sad to buy the box set, right? I'd be better downloading a couple of episodes to reassure myself it has all aged terribly and I no longer love it?

I had a huge crush on Michelle Willliams when I was 15. Blush

IAmBooyhoo · 19/05/2012 23:01

michelles williams was gorgeous in it. i didn't see it at the time (being a 13 year old girl) but when i watched it all at christmas i kept thinking how stunning she was/is.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 19/05/2012 23:02

I have by no means added the box set to my amazon wish list....

PandaNot · 19/05/2012 23:03

It would be sad. But I'm sad and still watch it,regularly every now and then. It reminds me of happy times and a time when teenage love could cure all! Grin

LRDtheFeministDragon · 19/05/2012 23:06

She was quite a lot better at acting than the others, IIRC. I'm sure that's why I liked her.

Hmm Grin

havealittle, did you happen to notice how much it was while you were, no doubt, ordering something very intellectual instead on Amazon?

PfftTheMagicDraco · 19/05/2012 23:13

I DONT WANNA WAIT!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 19/05/2012 23:35

Used from around £35.....

Tangointhenight · 20/05/2012 00:27

Oi I started the thread so obviously JJ is mine :o

I loved the episode where Dawson and Andie find out about Joey and Pacey, Ooooooo and the episode where Joey gets out if the car to huff with Pacey and they have their first (?) kiss!!
Swoon!!!

Does anyone remember the theme tune to the first series?? I had both the soundtracks too!

Jen was by far hotter than joey, just like Pacey was hotter than Dawson!
They should've made a film, before they killed Jen off :-(

Bumdrop · 20/05/2012 00:33

best episode ?
the first one,
the breakfast club thing in the library !!

another fab one ? when they got stuck on the creepy island !

still not convinced ANYONE thought dawson was nicer than pacey ??? anyone ?
apparently ... dawson (the actor in ral life was a right ego diva !)

Tangointhenight · 20/05/2012 00:37

I forgot about the island one, it was spooky yeah loved it, they always based episodes on current films, that was very Blair witchy!!

Dawson had a big head, an actual big head that was out of proportion with his body!!

OP posts:
Bumdrop · 20/05/2012 00:41

worst episode ?
they were all good, but ...
joey singing was quite painful !
didnt like it when she was at uni working in that bar, always so darka and dingey,
loved the backdrop of the creek !!
didnt like thaugly bloke she was with in the uni days, i think he was a teacher, went to paris with her,
best, best bit ever ...
joey running off to join pacey on that boat for the whole summer !

TheLaineyWayIsEssex · 20/05/2012 00:43

Yanbu. I watch 'fringe' mainly to watch josh jackson

TheLaineyWayIsEssex · 20/05/2012 00:52

Theme song's were " i don't wanna wait" by alanis morrisette
And "run like mad" by janm arden
Can't remember which was the original

NunOnTheRun · 20/05/2012 01:02

YANU... but Y may never be able to speak in straightforward, untortured, unpretentious English ever again [joking Grin ]

WhatSheSaid · 20/05/2012 01:07

Theme tune not Alanis Morisette. Paula Cole.

Can't add anything as everyone has already said all I was going to about Joshua Jackson! I'm a bit amazed James van der Beek was picked as (presumably) the hearthrob character when JJ was so much hotter.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/05/2012 01:54

Original was the heart is iny head, head is in the clouds, replaced from second season onwards with I don't wanna wait.
My fave song was Feels like home which I think Dawson and Joey danced to at a wedding?
I lost track somewhere around when Joey's dean of admission gets Pacey a job on the yatch. Saw the very last episode. Oh it was luffly that Doug and Jack got together! :)

Krumbum · 20/05/2012 02:24

I miss it! I was totally in love with Michelle Williams in it, and Joshua Jackson. It was the best when they got it on lol! Looking back the way the characters speak to each other is hilarious, I think irl I'd hate them for being so pretentious. Im gonna watch some online tomo, very excited!

IAmBooybilee · 20/05/2012 02:30

havealittle. the original was i dont wanna wait replaced from second season onwards with heart is in my head, head is in the clouds and then i dont wanna wait came back for the last episode.

WhispersOfWickedness · 20/05/2012 07:27

My favourite season was definitely season 3, although I couldn't be doing with all that Eve shite at the beginning. Loved loved loved when they sailed off in the boat together. Also liked the episode when j&p have sex for the first time in the ski lodge, I was very jealous Grin I liked that the next day was realistic about what a first time was like, pacey not understanding why it wasn't all fireworks for joey.

Least favourite part was probably when they were at college, although I loved Audrey. I didn't like p&j nearly getting together for several episodes of season 6 and then breaking them up again, grr!

Need to go and have a look at box sets now....
