It was sad to see the end of the True Love. Regardless of how you felt about Pacey and Joey sailing away at the end of S3, Pacey put his whole heart into restoring that boat and making it seaworthy and to see it sink would be crushing to anyone who worked so hard on it.

Not a fan of this episode or the film that inspired it for that matter. It was so unsubtle from Dawson the hero to the demise of True Love( do you think, perhaps they were trying to tell us that the PJ relationship wasn't long for this world? lol). Even the Andie sub plot was annoying. What is it about Adults on shows like this that they always prove to be useless and ineffectual, just so the 'teens' can come to the rescue. It gave me the feeling this show wasn't just written for teenagers, it was apparently written by teenagers too. This was definately the episode that signalled the beginning of the end for me and my inexplicable obsession with this show.

I feel the same way too. If they wanted to make me see how important this relationship was to both boys then they failed miserably and for all the reasons you're stated. I just can't see two people, who were supposed to be so important to one another going through something like that and still being more concerned with holding onto a feud as petty as the one that had developed between them. You'd think the real possibility of never seeing one another again and never getting a chance to say all those things you probably should have said would be something of an awakening and turning point. But not on this show.

I was glad too. She fell in love with his friend, when she was single and free to do so. I understand why Dawson was hurt, but they didn't murder his parents or torture his pet. Hell they didn't even set out to deliberately hurt him so I'm not sure why they were obligated to keep paying penance or deferring to him.

I think what they gave Andie was awful. They did almost nothing with her in season 3 but some lame hall monitor thing. Some of her scenes with Will were alright.

about the thank you, well I didn't see Joey thank Pacey for saving her from the fire at the end of season 2. He risked his life to go into that building. She was more worried about her father. In season 4, she was more worried about him. It doesn't make someone a bad person that they didn't say thank you. Maybe, they just had other things on their mind

No I do think they gave Andie some good stuff considering her main aim on the show was to be Paceys first girlfriend in season 2. Im not talking amazing, deep storylines but for who she was she got some good stuff. Dealing with her illness through forms of cheating and lying, directing a play, going out with Wil Krudski, going from bitter to the voice of reason for Pacey at the end of season 3. Then in season 4 she got to hold her own again against the like of Ms. Valentine, Great Xpectations and You had Me At Goodbye was largely Andie. So yea, I do think Meredith had some good stuff to work with. Ironically, I think on her stint on DC she was possibly given better "stuff" than Jen.

Definitely agree I really liked Andie and Pacey's friendship post break-up

I like this episode. It was over the top and dramatic but I liked it. I love it when Dawson and Joey find Pacey and Joey screams "Pacey" and it all goes in slow motion...so emotional I also love the song "Never Saw Blue Like That" and PJ's scene at the end.

COOLCAT200

Well I have to disagree but I do find it interesting. The hall monitor thing was very lame and end even the Will thing was half fast. Only time I feel she had anything good in season 3 was in fact her talks with Pacey. They did almost nothing with her in season 4 before the Drug thing that led to her send off and she was amazing in it but she was in fact leaving. She deserved far better then what the writers gave her and its shame because MM was such a great talent. 'Squaring off '' with miss valentine was just a good scene but not a story line. She had some I think good scenes but not so much story lines.

I agree.

I think you have to consider who she was. Andie was nota core character, she was practically tertiary in season 4. She was not someone who was ever going to get anything more than a good scene, I dont see how you wanted amazing storylines for her, she just wasnt that kind of character and I dont think giving Andie anything more than a few good scenes was ever the intentions of the writers post season 2, not with characters like Joey, Pacey and Dawson to focus on. Thats why Im saying in regards to who she was on this show, which was essentially, not anyone all that important post season 2, she got good stuff.

COOLCAT200

But I think Andie had a ton of potential to be a core character like Jack became kind of and I think they could have given her a good story line outside of Pacey. KW even said one of his biggest disappointments was seeing how Andies character was treated.

Sugz

Sure she had potential. Any character has potential it's all about what the writers intentions are for them. I think it was obvious by this season that Andie wasnt meant to be anything more than a "here and there" character until they finally ditched her altogether.

COOLCAT200

Yes I agree but I think that is sad because I liked Andie.

hshapir2

I think Joey was the one who really saved Pacey. Pacey didn't even want to get off tbe boat until he saw her crying out his name. Yes, Dawson helped

jopace1970

Joey definitely gave him the push to leave True Love. I never doubted that Dawson would go after them though.
