I’m fairly certain that you don’t have to even be a Dawson’s Creek fan to fully appreciate Joey & Pacey as a couple. Really. If you’ve never seen the show and you’ve been curious - please just watch the third season. It’s the season that leads up to them getting together and it… is… amazing. I re-watch it every few years and I still get chills from it. It’s just perfect television.
You can watch it on Hulu if you’re in the States.
If you actually watch the whole fifteen minutes - you're as lame as I am AND THAT'S OKAY!
Listen, I know Gilmore Girls wasn't a good show. Sorta. I sorta know that. That doesn't erase the fact that I watched it to completion and still view Rory & Jess as one of my top two tv couples of all time. Even watching some of these scenes now makes me gush like a schoolgirl. I'm sorry?
And since we're talking about that show, two things:
- Lorelai Gilmore was probably the most irritatingly, unlikable lead character on any show in television history. Why wasn't that talked about more? Like you know how it took us all a few years to be like, "Wow, Carrie Bradshaw fucking sucks as a person" - why did that never happen here? Is it 'cause we all moved on so quickly after this show ended?
- It blows my MIND that Melissa McCarthy wasn't given better lines in any of her storylines. She was a moviestar waiting to happen and it took so damn long because this show never showcased her properly! That aggravates me a bit.
Anyway, big fan.
(And if you really didn't guess that my number one tv couple was Pacey & Joey, then kindly go jump in a lake 'cause y'aint a real friend of mine.)
