What do you remember from season 2? To be quite honest, not a whole lot. I think having watched the seasons out of order, knowing what I knew and already shipping who I wanted at that point, I was not terribly invested in season 2. I do remember, as has been stated, the regression of Jen from semi-reformed sweetheart to New York bad girl. She seemed to fall back on some of what we were led to imagine she had been like in New York. That season was also a memorable one for her because she met and befriended Jack. And, ofcourse, Abby Morgan. The speech that Jen gave at her funeral was...pure acid but I always agree with her that Abby would have appreciated it more than sugar-coated half truths that would have made the situation less painful for others. Also, I think it was definately Josh's breakout season as far as his acting went. Some of the episodes later in that season were some of the best of the series for Josh and he really took Pacey to another level.

Who was your favourite character in season 2? Jen and Pacey...but they are always my favorites, in every season.

What made the season stand out to you? The whole season seemed a little...disoriented, I suppose. Like the overall quality of the show seemed to wane a little when it was compared to S1. Not to say it was horrid, but it just seemed to lack the direction and meaning that the first season had had which was sad because there were so many issues (Jack revealing his homosexuality, Dawson's parents divorcing, Andie's psychological issues, etc.) that were important to teenagers but seemed like they were a bit stunted because they were all crammed into one season and they all seemed to play second fiddle to the love stories that were going on.

What did you love? Pacey's scenes with his dad. I loathed Mr. Witter but those seaons made my heart bleed for that boy.

Did season 2 live up to your expectations? Not really, and that is saying something seeing as I had no expectations. Like I said, it just all seemed like a jumbled up mess that focused on the wrong things. Sure, there were moments, but it all seemed to get lost.

Did you like it better or less than season 1? Definately less.
