I don't think we can say Dawson didn't mean his "you're a failure, Pacey" words when EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. they fought, Dawson used those words. Over and over, it was belittling him and calling him pathetic, a failure, obsessed with sex, etc. The drunken birthday rant spoke volumes, and only mirrored his feelings from Detention. In None of the Above it was repeated, and again throughout seasons three and four, and even in the season six fight! That's why I am not on the D/P friendship fan train.

Also, it REALLY bothered me how much Pacey valued the friendship more than Dawson. See season four, when Pacey was having lingering looks at Dawson and still asking for his friendship back (like in Two Gentlemen of Capeside), whereas Dawson was just way too preoccupied with getting good with Joey again. He didn't seem to care much about Pacey. Like he said in season three, his friendship with Pace was done, and he needed to concentrate on the most important friendship/relationship in his life -- his with Joey. How sad for Pacey.

Gah... anyway, anti-DJ. I am loving this quote:

Quote:

That ep had some good anti-DJ undertones to it, though. I mean, it was their first kiss, which was so unromantic and on a dare. They are "soulmates" but would only kiss when being forced into it, pretty much. If they had such mind-blowing chemistry (insert ), you would think the kiss would have made Dawson think, "Huh...maybe there is something there...." but it didn't. In the end, Dawson still chose Jen over Joey.

So true!
