Quotes
Bessie Potter: The way I see it, the second kiss is always tougher then the first one.
Joey: We actually kissed more than once that night.
Bessie Potter: Yeah, but it only counts as one, and that first kiss? It's the passionate one. It's the one fueled by desire and attraction and all that. Well, the second kiss is rational. You've got time to think about it, to worry and overanalyze. Most women, they prefer that first kiss... but I'm partial to the second one because it's about something more. You'll get that second kiss, Joey, and when you do, it'll be great. It'll be real. It'll be meaningful.

So..uh

Can I say how much I love Pacey? He's evolved so much compared to last season, while Joey and Dawson feel watered down. I used to love to watch the shenanigans of the two as Dawson was this film obsessed dude who wanted to script everything and Joey the sarcastic girl who is pretty much done with everything. I do see that this show is slowly becoming more soap opera like, repeating the same things over and over. I did like how realistically it portrayed first relationships though, but this is just the first episode..so let me give it a chance.
