Very nicely put.
It makes me think of a scene they shared in S5.
Jen: Hey. So I figure that I've heard a piece of everybody's mind today except yours. Hit me with your best shot.
Pacey: Well, I'm sorry, Jen, but I can't help you there. You'll get no judgments out of me.
Jen: But that's awfully disappointing because Pacey's judgments are the best kind.
Pacey: Well, how about this? I would be satisfied if everybody would just do what makes them happy and left it at that.
Jen: But the planets would collide, and the sea would boil over with blood.
Pacey: And don't I know it? But you did seem happy. At least for the first 5 minutes. Maybe not so much after that.
They never passed judgement on each other, I loved that about them.
