After careful consideration I was wrong about Season 3

General

In the first and other viewings of the show I always thought S3 was the worst season. I thought for the longest time Dawson was unfairly treated and maligned, I think it is because when I was younger I wanted to be like Dawson, it had an impact on the way I saw film in a massive way and still does from a creative POV. I also often thought he was that nice guy, the guy who only wanted to do the right thing, to be a chivalry gentlemen but on further looking I know realise how wrong I was.

I know what is going to happen next (I am just at the point where Pacey just kissed Joey) and I remember how much a d**k Dawson is. I do still think he redeems himself in S4 in a lot of ways but S3 has made me realise how wrong he was with Joey not just in S3 but other seasons as well and in hindsight I am glad Joey had Pacey.

So yeah, you live, you learn, you grow up.
