mvc and jquery - does the model get left out?
I am building an asp.net mvc 3 web application. I am also a jquery fan.
I am not sure how to go about the design, as currently I can see two options:

 1. Use the controller as something similar to a web service. Encapsulate the method calls relevant for each page, and use jquery to perform ajax calls to the web page. Then, use jquery tempting to populate the page based on the server's response.

 2. Just use the model in my view. Avoid any jquery ajax calls that have to do with populating page's content.

I guess that there's no *right or wrong* here, but I'd really like to hear the opinions of experienced developers.

Thank you
