Agreed. That's another thing that bothered me about the Finale - it tried too hard to give everybody closure. Jen's death was beyond ridiculous and done for melodramatic purposes. Claiming that it was done as a full-circle thing with her being the last one to join the group and the first one to leave is quite disrespectful
The penultimate episode had everything you could possibly want - Jen alive and hanging out with Jack and Grams, Dawson and Pacey reuniting over their shared acknowledgement of their love for Joey, and Joey fulfilling her dream of travel.
