Season 1 is my favourite (season 3 would be almost the last ). I think that since all the episodes were written before they aired, it was more consistant, they were really focused on the writing

Season 1 is my favourite (season 3 would be almost the last ).

I think our favourite season is dependent on who we ship.

Really good point, I think you're right. No distractions.

It's not even that Cause I love DJo but they're not my main ship I just hated the way it was written. I love season 4 even if I disagree with one ship

[Rachey1984]

The first few episodes of S3 are shocking. But the rest of the season makes up for it. Season 4 had it's amazing moments too.

Are Pacey and Andie your main ship?

It's not my favourite season, but it probably ranks in at #2 for me. I actually didn't mind the D/J dynamic in season 1. And I loved how snarky Joey was My favourite episodes from this season are "Double Date" and "Detention."

ITA.

S1 is the most solid. Even my favorite season (S3) has about 5 eps I'll gladly skip over lol.

Yes With Dawson and Jen

Me too. Some of the episodes are not good at all.

[milestogo]

Season 1 is probably the only season with no bad episode at all

[Rachey1984]

I would have to agree with you there.

[clarkson_fan]

I think that may be the case because we are all getting to know the characters and not much has happened and its all new and fresh in the first season.

Shows are always usually best in the first couple or seasons and then deteriorate in the later seasons, because i think a lot of the time writers run out of good, solid material and the show suffers for that.

But in season 1 we have the four main characters to meet and learn about and the other supporting characters who fill it out and then we get their life stories and how they feel about whom and what not...and its just great to have that.

It's a real shame that they don't consider this fact and ensure enough time is dedicated to the writing and planning of their show. I think some of the bad decisions are probably ones that have not been given enough time to consider the impact and then before they know it, it's filmed, aired and it is really quite bad. I bet Eve was a non thought out decision.

Rach, I'm gonna send you a PM with a link that you may be interested in relating to this very point

On the topic of Season 1:
Of all the Gale/Mitch storylines, I think S1 executed it the best. It seemed to me it was played quite well between the two actors.

[Rachey1984]

Thank you, Seersha. I've read the link and found it really interesting. I thought as much about the quick fire decisions. To think PJo was just a random idea during a crazed session that ended up being the decision which saved the show.

Of all the Gale/Mitch storylines, I think S1 executed it the best. It seemed to me it was played quite well between the two actors.

I agree. I loved that this story line was so well written and performed really well, even though it didn't directly involve any of the 4 main cast members. It shows the thought process even in the less important story lines were really well thought out and as you said, executed the best it could be. I thought the same about the episode 'Baby'.

[milestogo]

I loved their storyline, I thought it was very realistic at that point of their lives. And both actors were fantastic

[Rachey1984]

Mary Margaret's performance in 'Hurricane' is amazing!
