I've watched them grow! What can I say? I've been a HUGE fan since January of 1998 and I will be until the series finale. I've watched the characters change and grow for the past four seasons as I too, have struggled through High School. The big thing I've noticed is change. In the beginning, Dawson, Joey and Pacey all had each other when new girl Jen (with a past) moves in next door with an eye for Dawson leaving Joey jealous and hating Jen and Dawson all wrapped up in love. We watched and waited all season for Dawson and Joey to come together while Gail had an affair, Bessie and Bodie had a baby unmarried (and were two different colors), Pacey sleeping with his English teacher and Grams' husband die. At the end of season Dawson came through with his feelings for Joey. Since that great first season, we have dealt with much more topics including love triangles, divorces, arests, drug dealing and addictions, alcoholism, mental illness, pregnancies and the big one...SEX! As I look back on the past four seasons, I realise how much Joey and Jen have changed. Joey, the sarcastic, poor, outcast has now become so hypacritical and at times, annoying. Jen, the annoying whiner with a past has now become an amazing, friendly person. Who knows what seaon 5 will bring but, Dawson and Joey's relationship will most definately never be the same again (deja vu). Only one request...BRING BACK ANDIE!!!!
