.: best scenes :.

Here is the first time we ever layed eyes on Dawson and Joey:

*Dawson's room at night. Joey and Dawson lay face down on his bed watching ET.*
Joey: *imitating E.T.* I'll be right here. I love this movie. This won the Oscar didn't it?
*Dawson turns off the movie and switches it to the local news, which his mom co-anchors for.*
Dawson: Ghandi. Spielberg was robbed. This was before he outgrew his Peter Pan syndrome.
Joey: But Ghandi? I mean why give an Oscar to a movie you can't even sit through?
Dawson: Thank you.
*Joey watches the TV as she gets up to put on her shoes.*
Joey: New do?
Dawson: Yeah. She likes big hair.
Joey: Must weigh a lot. How does she walk upright?
*Dawson laughs then notices Joey putting on her shoes.*
Dawson: Where are you going?
Joey: Home.
Dawson: Spend the night.
Joey: I can't.
Dawson: Come on you always spend the night.
Joey: Not tonight.
Dawson: Why not?
Joey: I just don't think it's a good idea for me to sleep over anymore, you know?
*Dawson sits up and puts the remote control on his desk.*
Dawson: No, I don't know. C'mon, You've been sleeping over since you were seven. It's Saturday night.
Joey: Things change Dawson. Evolve.
Dawson: What are you talking about?
Joey: Sleeping in the same bed was fine when we were kids, but we're fifteen now.
Dawson: Yeah.
Joey: We start high school Monday?
Dawson: Yeah.
Joey: And I have breasts!
Dawson: What?!
Joey: And you have genitalia!
Dawson: I've always had genitalia.
Joey: But there's more of it.
*Dawson is embarrassed.*
Dawson: How do you know?
Joey: Long fingers. I gotta go.
Dawson: Whoa Jo, don't hit and run. C'mon, explain yourself.
Joey: I just think our emerging hormones are destined to alter our relationship and I'm trying to limit the fallout.
*Dawson gets up off the bed with his arms crossed, smiling.*Dawson: Your emerging hormones aren't developing a thang for me, are they?
Joey: A thang? No, I'm not getting a thang for you Dawson. I've known you too long. I've seen you burp, barf, pick your nose, scratch your butt. I don't think I'm getting a thang for you.
Dawson: So what's the problem?
Joey: We're changing and we have to adjust or else the male/female thing will get in the way.
*Dawson sits back down on the bed.*
Dawson: What's with this When Harry met 80's crap. It doesn't apply to us, we transcend it.
Joey: And how do we do that?
Dawson: By going to sleep. I'm tired.
Joey: That's avoidance.
Dawson: No, it's proof. Proof that we can still remain friends, despite any mounting sexual theoretics.
Joey: I don't think it works that way Dawson.
Dawson: Come on, don't get female on me Joey. I don't want to have to start calling you Josephine.
Joey: Josephine this!
*She leaps onto the bed and attacks him with punches. They tickle and punch each other until Dawson has the upper hand.*
Joey: Okay, I give. I give.
Dawson: We're friends okay? No matter how much body hair we acquire? Deal?
Joey: Deal.
Dawson: All right. And we don't ever talk about this again, deal?
Joey: You got it.
Dawson: Okay, cool.
Joey: Cool.
*Dawson and Joey each climb under the covers.*
Dawson: Goodnight Joey.
Joey: Goodnight Dawson.
*Dawson stares up at the ceiling*
Dawson: Why'd you have to bring this up anyway?

Thank you for the new thread Brit

And we really need to add some of the best scenes, it have been empty since forever

Brit, maybe you can add some of your icons to the openign post?

Brighter Than Sunshine · 02-14-2007, 11:36 AM

^ How bout we feature the teaser to the Pilot scene for now?

Some of my icons? Wow, okay.

Beatriz · 02-14-2007, 02:40 PM

Oh, I *love* the scene you chosed Brit!!

rockthecreek · 02-15-2007, 07:05 PM

new thread! Love the icons Brit and Bea! The opening "scene" is cute. I love it

Your new sig is so cute Brit!

Brighter Than Sunshine · 02-15-2007, 10:09 PM

^ Thank you! I really missed season 1 and the first love triangle ever. I do feel that Dasson/Joey/Jen love triangle is one of the best and first ones in TV history.

The pilot scene is really a classic. You know it's so weird to watch DC from the first episode to the last because of how much these people changed with time.

I know

The only thing that remained (even though it has its good and bad moments) was the D/J bond

Brighter Than Sunshine · 02-16-2007, 05:11 AM

^ Not only the bad kind of change, but also their looks. It's weird to see 'Pilot' D/Jo compared to Finale D/Jo:

Dawson's bed seemed to have gotten smaller too.

Have you all ever noticed how in the pilot bed scene Dawson is way in the middle of the bed while Joey's practically hanging off the edge?

Topic Discussion:

What do you all think it would have been like if D/Jo were together before the pilot? Like they were best friends and everything, but they had started dating before the pilot episode.

Beatriz · 02-16-2007, 06:21 AM

Well, for starters, Dawson would have never looked at Jen

But about the rest... I'm not sure. I think Joey would have freaked out eventually. They were still young and too inexperienced to have a serious/adult relationship IMO. Dawson was too much of a dreamer, and Joey too much of a cynic. Even though being with Dawson made her softer somehow, a big part of her problems were related to her father, and in that, Dawson wouldn't have been able to help her no matter how long they had been together before.

I mean, Joey had to resolve her issues before commiting to Dawson entirely, and we saw how she reacted to them (to her father dealing with drugs). I don't think having been with Dawson since S1 would have changed that

His return, yes, I think she would have taken it better with Dawson by her side. But Dawson findign out about the drugs would have caused the same reaction I'm afraid.

Brighter Than Sunshine · 02-16-2007, 06:58 AM

^ True, very very true. I agree. Joey was constantly afraid of a serious/sexual relationship, which was what was starting to evolve between D/Jo multiple times, towards the end of season 2 and 602.

But it would have been very interesting to see D/Jo together as a couple in the first scene of the pilot.

What do you think about D/Jo getting together later in the series?

Mich · 02-16-2007, 12:32 PM

If I start answering all these 'whatifs' I'll be here all day, so I'll save that for later. Instead, I'll say that originally Joey handled her father's drug dealing differently. It's just the network wanted a very angsty cliffhanger, and DJo were the main stars of the show. They'd already played out as many big stunts that they could, so they pulled out all the stops and broke up DJo. Unfortunately, they painted themselves into a corner in S3 since they couldn't just automatically fix DJo. The fans didn't like that, and they didn't write Eve properly enough that she could be a catalyst for DJo like Jen was in S1. So... thereya go.

ETA: No one wants to sleep on Dawson's bed-it's hard as a rock! And it's like the size of a kid's bed. I don't know how JK fit on there together. It doesn't look big enough for James on there by himself, especially length-wise.

Brighter Than Sunshine · 02-18-2007, 10:09 PM

I don't even know why they had to break them up. I would have loved to see D/Jo actually get through he father going back to jail together. That would have been so much more better then breaking them up and then having Joey offer herself to Dawson in the season 3 premier.

I haven't seen the bed in person but it does look small, I don't know how JK would fit on it either.

Deb D · 02-18-2007, 10:42 PM

I'm terribly glad the bed was small...

Brighter Than Sunshine · 02-19-2007, 12:55 AM

Why is that Deb?

Deb D · 02-19-2007, 02:20 AM

You have to ask Brit?

I think the close proximity aided J and K's chemistry.
