| Season 4 is probably my fav season of the character of Jen. However, I do like season 5 because of D/Jen, and season 3 because of P/Jen.
Though season 4 had some really great Jen filled episodes, here are my fav episodes from season 4:
1) You Had Me At Goodbye. This followed the ecstasy episode. I remember feeling so bad for Jen at the time. When Jack sees her at the lockers he looks so disgusted, and Jen just looks so, so sad. Michelle has such an expressive face, and her reactions/expressions are always great. She has this ability to look like the saddest person in the world. You can really feel her hurt and pain. She did a great job throughout the episode and I love the Jack/Jen make up scene at the end. "Are you the girl who used to tell me everything?" "Are you the boy who used to listen?"
2) Four Stories. Michelle had to carry her segment on her own, and she was great, she completely nailed it. By sheer force of personality she made it by far the most entertaining part of the episode. It was such classic Jen and showcased the character well imo. Jen trying to hide her discomfort and vulnerability behind the smart and sarcastic exterior was so her, but of course Tom Frost saw through it.
3) Admissions. More great acting from Michelle. She was just so great in all of those Frost scenes. Also there were some nice scenes between Jen and Drue, and excellent Jen/Jack interaction. The fish scene is classic. I also love Jen and Jack's conversation on the docks. Another episode where Michelle is both funny and touching.
4) Eastern Standard Time. This is quite possibly my all time fav episode of DC. I love it, well the Jen scenes anyway Michelle was really excellent; she totally owned this episode. I felt for Jen so much. This episode just shows again how much Dawson's Creek would have benefited from using MW more. The Jen/Joey friendship was quite nice too.
Honorable mention goes to "A Winter's Tale" because I loved all of the Jack & Jen stuff. Oh, and "Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang" because of some great Jen, Jack and Grams interaction. __________________ I see now that the only thing more beautiful than Jen Lindley is the reality behind her magic.
