Pacey Witter

[BornInAThunderstorm]

Reliving my teen years over on Netflix and I’ve decided to crown Pacey Witter king of all teen crushes. 100% still in love with him, and no other love interest type characters compare.
AIBU?

Oh I loved Pacey, so much better than Dawson.

But I am a bit old and my teen crushes were from the 80s and pretty boys.

YANBU.
Not only is he handsome, he's also mature and grounded. Which seems like a rarity in that show! Dawson was such a whining little toad, borderline narcissist .

And Joshua Jackson continues to be an utterly fine man too I'll watch him in anything.

@EdinaMonsoon I haven’t seen anything with Joshua Jackson in a while, what is he in that you recommend?

He's a bit Jamie Dornan-esque these days.

DH is a Joshua Jackson type

Pacey was the most fab teen boyfriend ever - I was so jealous of Joey Potter!

@BornInAThunderstorm Have loved watching him in The Affair (I'm on season 5 now); and also Little Fires Everywhere. He has this wonderfully understated quality to his acting that makes him very watchable.

I was a big pacey fan!

With hindsight, the affair he had with his teacher was very flippantly handled!

Loved Pacey! Mostly loved the way he said "Andy" 😂😂

Thanks Edina I will have a look at those

I love him in The Affair
Joshua Jackson awesome!

I didn’t find any of the guys attractive in DC . Pacey was funny and probably my favourite (Dawson whiney, Jack was a bit effeminate for my 14year old tastes).

I had a ridiculous crush on David Boreanaz (Angel from Buddy), Freddie Prinze Jr (from She’s All That) and James Lafferty (Nathan Scott in One Tree Hill). I liked them dark and brooding lol.

Also huge Johnny Depp, Jared Leto, Christian Bale and Heath Ledger crushes back in the day.

I loved David Boreanaz in the video Dido did for White Flag.

He was adorable and his dad was so horrible I just wanted to hug him Heartbreaking.

This Affair, not a Dawson Creek Affair.
Love all his characters, real fond of Pacey

Joshua Jackson was also in Fringe if you like sci-fi

Keep wondering about rewatching Dawson's creek but thinking of just doing seasons 3,4 and 6 (never actually saw the end) to maximise Joey/Pacey action.

@NameChange84 I will accept Heath Ledger in 10 Things as a close second

@Littlebelina I must confess to fast forwarding through Dawson’s overthought introspection speeches

Fringe is really good - like a Sci-fi CSI

I always preferred Pacey to Dawson too. I've been reliving my youth by rewatching Buffy recently. I could never decide between Angel and Spike back in the day and I'm still a bit torn now.

Thank you all for your Joshua Jackson fix recommendations

@RatherLostPenguinsOnParade Spike 100%

I love Joshua Jackson too - loved him in Dawson's Creek and everything I've seen him in since. Fringe and The Affair are both brill. Only seen one episode of Little Fires Everywhere and seems good so far.

I preferred pacy and jack.

Pacey treated now awfully at the end of their relationship. But to be fair everyone treated pacey like crap too, they needed him to keep being the clown cos that's how they all kept their superior status. Even when he did well in the stockmarket thing, they were so suspicious and surprised. I mean I know they were right to be suspicious as it was dodgy as hell bit it went beyond that I felt. Almost as if they were all angry he was doing well and not fulfilling his duty to make them all look good. So much so they didn't notice when him or audery were falling apart and jumped straight in with rehab and judgements. They should have noticed

Last couple of seasons lost thr plot but fringe defo worth a watch if you like smart sci fi.

Dawson was a whiney muppet with crap hair.

Was watching something the other day and the actor looked familiar. It was Pacey's brother Doug! But old .
