Fringe is definitely better than Dawson's for Josh - but it's not surprising. The subject matter gave him much more to work with.

Yes it really did. Teen angst show material is not much to work with at all.

I just wanted to say that I started to binge watch fringe because I absolutely love Josh. The thing is I never liked sci-fi but surprisingly I'm now obsessed with this show. I'm up to 3x03. I didn't really get hooked until the season one finale which kinda blew me away with the twists and now I can't stop watching. Peter Bishop is EVERYTHING. (And John Noble is brilliant.)

Dawson's was definitely great as teen angst shows go. I agree with you - it was good to see some where the teenagers are basically normal. They have dreams, get into trouble, fall in and out of love and learn to be young adults. But they aren't biting necks or displaying implausible talents.
Josh was terrific in DC. But he was still playing a teenager in a show geared towards teenagers. I just believe he had a chance to stretch his abilities more in Fringe. There was a greater depth to the character of Peter Bishop than there was to Pacey Witter. Peter had a long life history that molded his character and added interest to him. And that character depth really allowed Josh to shine in the role. __________________

Don't ya just love how Josh was on one of the greatest teen shows of all time, followed by one of the greatest sci fi shows of all time? He hasn't done too shabby.

Maybe that's why I never fell in love with Josh during DC. I didn't care for Pacey at all and I never shipped Joey/Pacey so in the end the whole show was just one ginormous disappointment for me. I probably would have enjoyed Josh more in DC if he had played a different character.
But all the shows and movies I have seen Josh in since DC I have loved him. |

Now I fell in love with Josh playing Peter, but I fell even harder after watching him as Pacey because he was just soooooo loveable. It's disheartening to hear that someone didn't like Pacey, but he still did a great job playing Pacey.

I thought Pacey was adorable, although I wouldn't want him dating my daughter!

You are absolutely right about Josh though - he did a great job playing Pacey. He made him into a really believable character. |

Yeah, well, Pacey is a teenager, isn't he? I was never a fan of fictional teenagers. I'd rather watch Peter Bishop I am aware o the importance of that early role for Josh though. I think it's awesome that he has had such a long career
