- just stand still -

that art is beautiful.

I do love that kiss.

That kiss he gave her while they were dancing in the finale was so amazing. Plus the look on her face said it all.

Butterfly85

Love the way he dipped her too, so romantic! Pacey going all out as usual lol.

msstock87

I loved when he dipped her!

JJH85

Yeah that kiss was super hot and I think we all felt it just like Joey did when it happened too.

Butterfly85

Joey looked like she needed a cigarette after Pacey's kiss lol.

Jaime Bee

That's true.



I love the dynamic when 2 people at least think they hate each other or can't get along at first but then slowly falling in love best.


I do still ship obviously other types too since I'm also huge DJo shipper.

What I look for most is a real love/connection between the characters.

That's after chemistry & goes more with the story.

Buildup is important too. The best couples have years of it. Sadly we don't get that kind of writing anymore.

ChristinaL80

It's very rare to find all our favorite elements in one couple, except for maybe Pacey and Joey and even then the writing wasn't always good. But they were able to rise above it.

Butterfly85

I feel chemistry is the most important, but good writing helps as well. Otherwise, you just like their scenes cause the actors are great together (and some have to make the most out of the garbage their getting) I agree buildup makes the evolution of the couple even sweeter, which they wrote PERFECTLY for Pacey/Joey. So they had the chemistry, great writing, and buildup. I miss great buildup cause the payoff is so great. Now most couples are rushed into sleeping together then they build them up from there, or they muddy the pairing by being on and off with them cause their forcing another damn triangle. I do like a few more recent couples but TV couples were written so much better in the 90's IMO. Now if I like a couple I expect the show to ruin them unfortunately but in the 90's couples had great writing, buildup, and payoff.

JJH85

I totally agree with you there

ChristinaL80

I so agree, the 90s were the best for couples, and Pacey and Joey were on top of the list.

Butterfly85

Pacey and Joey also had the best buildup and payoff with them reigniting their romance years later and ending up together. It was always clear they should end up together and the writers made the right choice. Most of the time the couple I love makes all the sense in the world then they don't end up together. P/J are one of the few couples I love that are endgame. It just seems like writers now just throw away the great potential of goldmine couples they have. It's like they love to shoot themselves in the foot.

This is a fun Podcast interview, these ladies were definitely Pacey Fans, but were also PJo shippers.

msstock87

I will have to give them a listen.

They had some of the best build up to any TV couple in my opinion.

ChristinaL80

Oh, I know that all too well.

Justyne, thanks for the link. It's always nice to hear from Pacey/PJ shippers.
