I really wish the writers didnt make Pacey lose all of Dawsons money in season six because they were finally getting close again. It makes it seem like the writers hated Pacey all they ever did was dump on him.

Their friendship was nice in the early seasons.

[lasertagandcigars]

it was, I liked even when they were not talking they were still there for each other.

I am very firmly in team Pacey camp, so I am a bit biased about the question I am going to ask, and sometimes I wonder if the answer is dependent on which character you tend to support more.

Did people think their friendship was ever healthy in the earlier seasons? I thought that Pacey was a sidekick and that served him and Dawson well until suddenly it didn't whenever they were thrown into direct competition. This is not just from season 3, but even in season 1 when Joey said Pacey had bigger biceps and Dawson became insecure, and threw a basketball in his face. Then when Pacey was shown to be more successful with Andie, Dawson rips on him at his birthday party.

I've answered before but I don't really care for the friendship much anymore cause when push came to shove Dawson preferred Pacey to be underneath him and was quick to believe the worst in Pacey. Like saying he wants Pacey to be miserable and failing so he can feel good about himself, assuming he stole the SAT test, saying Pacey drove Andie crazy, saying Pacey just wants to sleep with Joey, etc. Back in the day I loved their friendship but when I first rewatched the series again, I found their friendship a little toxic cause Dawson just wasn't as loyal to Pacey as Pacey was to him.

Uncharted Waters is a problematic episode. You have Pacey's own father idolizing Dawson and his accomplishments while telling Pacey he would be nothing more than a loser. I don't think it resonated with Dawson because he was too busy feeling ashamed of his own father in a similar fashion because he was unemployed and divorcing his mother.

It was also sad because it was used as a plot point for Dawson to understand that his own father was not so bad, but I didn't really see him take the time and effort to really sympathize with Pacey. He gave a half hearted line about how he has friends that believe in him, even though the only person that has up until this point is Andie, and she doesn't know Pacey that well at this point. It's a very strange friendship, IMO.

I tend to like their friendship at times. Re watching though even before the triangle there was some real problematic moments.
