Dawson's Creek - Anti-D/Jo #30:Because her face says it all.

CookieMonster · 04-02-2007, 07:47 PM

Welcome to the Anti-Dawson and Joey thread.

This is the place were we discuss all things we hate about Dawson and Joey......and trust me when I say, you won't find any love for them here.
Ok so enjoy the thread, have a laugh and don't take yourself or what we say too seriously!!!!

How can you look at these 2 faces and not know who she was supposed to be with?!

FUN STUFF FROM THE MEDIA

Quote:

October, 2002:
Excerpt from Soap Opera Weekly, "Hit or Miss" column:

Miss... Anticlimactic first time on Dawson's
A show's signature couple-- Dawson and Joey of Dawson's Creek-- makes love for the first time after five seasons of waiting, and all viewers get are a few fully clothed, chaste kisses and a fade-out?
Nobody expected porn, but the scene could have been more sensual or at least romantic. Even lamer: Dawson and Joey had some realistic, touching scenes before and after The Big Moment. There was plausible tension as Joey addressed her lack of contact with Dawson this summer and recounted a favorite shared memory. Then they touched. After an uncomfortably long embrace, they kissed for a minute or so (not one garment came off) and fell back on the bed as the show went to commercial.
Joey's first time with Pacey during Season 4 was much better. Maybe it's good that this new episode didn't get a lot of hype, because lapsed viewers who might have been lured back would have been disappointed.

Caption for the picture reads: Up the creek: Viewers weren't asking for much from D/J's love scenes, and they didn't get much.

February, 2003:
Excerpt from Zap2it.com:
TV Gal Mocks Terrible TV Matches
4. Dawson and Joey on "Dawson's Creek": Yes, I'm biased because I love Pacey and Joey together (it's so obvious that "Dawson's Creek" is practically bribing me to watch the show again), but Dawson and Joey are so dull together. Clearly, being with him is upsetting to her. She hasn't even been able to dye her hair all one color since they slept together. Actually, I don't think our pal Joey has had chemistry with anyone but Pacey. Could the "I love you" exchanges between her and Eddie have been any less convincing?

June, 2002:
The ever-fabulous TV Gal crowned the best and worst of the 01-02 TV season, as voted by the viewing public. PJers won, technically, because the DJers lost, BIG. D/J were voted worst couple and Beeky, worst actor.

Quote:

Feb. 3, 2005: Msnbc
Worst Teenage Drama Queen:
Dawson Leery, played by James Van Der Beek, “Dawson’s Creek”
Lost Me At: One of the many times he snorted contemptuously.

Dawson was the most irritating kind of bad boyfriend, in that he was the kind of bad boyfriend who was preoccupied with what a good boyfriend he was. His Attitude-O-Meter only had two settings, labeled “obsessively sycophantic” and “patronizingly dismissive.”
Most disturbingly, Dawson was always convinced that if only his darling Joey would accept that destiny had made reservations for them on the great Carnival Cruise of Life, all would be solved. He was only controlling and judgmental, he reasoned, because she refused to accept the inevitability of it all and the depth of his love. There’s a word for that, and the word is “stalker.”

Reasons we hate the hellmates
1.)They are way too co-dependent.
2.)They hold each other back.
3.)They use each other as security blankets.
4.)They are always 15 and having the same argument over and over and over.
5.)They can never be togther for longer than 2 months without breaking up.
6.)They always have massive arguments but never resolve anything.
7.)They didn't want each other, they just didn't want to lose the other.
8.)Well he almost killed Pacey to win her love so that's a reason to hate them.
9.)Sex the first time was so bad that they almost killed each other and never repeated their mistake.
10.) Their chemistry had no fizzle, like a flat soda.

Remember too:
- No character bashing outside the context of DJ, the couple
- No actor bashing
- No fics
and please remember to read the anti- thread rules

thanks for starting the thread carolyn. I love when Jack points out to him in season 4 that PJ were falling for each other all season, but he just didn't see it or want to see it

CookieMonster · 04-02-2007, 08:13 PM

Want to see it! Want being the key word! He only saw what he wanted to. He lived in his little fantasy world.

The Kiss was just on the N. I had to watch DJ being all close and kissy. Gross! Enjoy it while it lasts Jo! He shall turn to jerkdom soon!

Myfirstlove · 04-02-2007, 08:28 PM

What episode did Jack say to dawson that pacey and joey were falling in love all season. Maybe I missed it or something.

Love the new thread, its great. I was laughing on the floor when they said that Beeky was the worst teenage drama queen. Love the name Beeky.

hshapir2 · 04-02-2007, 08:43 PM

carolyn, I thought the N only played episodes at 4am. The other day I looked at the description and they were playing Mind Games on TBS and the N the same day

my, it was in 411 when Dawson and Jack are painting

He says something about the difficult truth of PJ or something. I thought he had said something about Dawson not seeing them fall for each other, but I could be wrong

Myfirstlove · 04-02-2007, 08:46 PM

Thanks hshapir I have to go back and check that out again. Maybe I wasn't paying attention cause pacey wasn't in it.

CookieMonster · 04-02-2007, 08:48 PM

The N is having a mini-marathon of DC. They had An episode from season 1, then The Kiss, High Risk Behavior is on right now, Stolen Kisses is on next

, then the two series finale episodes. Thankfully only one with nasty DJ closeness! Right now I'm watching Dawson whine about his relationship with Joey through a really crappy film!

hshapir2 · 04-02-2007, 08:55 PM

thanks carolyn. It's about time the N started playing DC. Everytime I turn the channel, it's Degrassi or a sitcom

cool my

Nailed it!

What an ass.

Touldengal · 04-02-2007, 10:48 PM

these are some of the looks that pretty much say it all:

while confronting Dawson about sending pacey to look after her, which she thinks doesn't care about her. Dawson tells her that Pacey obviously does, or else he wouldn't have risked getting suspended for her.

the anti-prom. you can see the pain in her eyes because she can't be with him.

and 5 years later.... NEVER lost the look!

Same here. Besides, Dawson in S4 is my LEAST favorite Dawson. And yes, that includes season three.

So I was either seething with hatred or ignoring it altogether.

Love those pics!

Hey Sheebs!

hshapir2 · 04-03-2007, 05:02 AM

Dawson was oblivious. He thought by giving Joey an ultimatum, she would forget Pacey. She instead, she's pining a way for him and even Dawson notices that she would rather be somewhere else

JoshFan1 · 04-03-2007, 09:09 AM

who would have thought that he

FinallyPJ · 04-03-2007, 09:44 AM

Let's see:
A summer with Dawson filled with glaring looks and being alone with those looks

OR...

A summer with Pacey..on a boat...alone...

Tough decision.

Touldengal · 04-03-2007, 10:39 AM

that's really tough
i don't know. hmmm....
kissing pacey or hanging out with dawson while wishing of kissing pacey....
living the fantasy or dreaming about it....
WHAT A PICKLE!
