Why is Joey...


Such a *beep* bitch?

You mean why is Joey the most beautiful, creative, intelligent, talented, enchanting, and irresistible human to ever walk the earth? Isn't that what the writers were telling us every episode?

reply

^^^^ YES. Don't forget that she has apparently overcome more hardships than anyone in the history of the world lol

She isn't one all of the time. I guess it's unfair for me to say that. Let's say the character can be very bitchy at times.

Joey annoys me to no end honestly. The only time she's tolerable is when she's dating Pacey from what I remember. Her treatment of Jen mostly in seasons 1, 2, and a stretch in season 5 is inexcusable.

I agree. All Jen did in the pilot episode was get out of a taxi and move into her grandmother's house. She did not conspire to steal Dawson away from Joey when she was coming to Capeside, she did not force Dawson to have sexual and romantic feelings towards her, and she was also very genuinely sweet towards Joey all throughout the season. Jen never did that whole "fake nice", "being polite for the sake of being polite in a social situation", or "fake nice, but beneath the surface I actually feel very bitchy towards you" thing to Joey. She genuinely wanted to be Joey's friend (even AFTER Joey's true feelings towards both Jen & Dawson were revealed).

Exactly Jen went out of her way to be friendly towards Joey when she could've been friends with anyone in the school and tried to improve their dynamic several times. Jen just wanted to have friends and be apart of something. Joey didn't want Jen to date and then they couldn't be friends either without Joey feeling "replaced". Or when Jen starts hooking up with Pacey naturally Joey begins to like him or dating Charlie (who of course fell for Joey when Jen wasn't good enough) after he treated Jen like dirt, etc. Joey was the worst friend on the show by a huge mile. Dawson was pretty bad when the show started but he changed for the better. Joey just gets worse and still gets a good ending.
