The Priest Betting Pool Begins Anew...
Dec 8, 2003 · 2 minute readThis probably isn’t of interest to most of you, but Priest has revealed the new comic he’s going to be working on:
Hmm, I have to admit that I don't have the utmost confidence that it'll still be published this time next year, but it does sound relatively interesting; Priest's "Pembleton from Homicide" take on the Falcon has me intrigued, and although he and his editor have spoken at length to say that it won't be an overtly political take on Captain America, the first storyline, "Two Americas", does sound as if it will touch on the current political situation somewhat. Anyway, I'm happy to know that there will still be Priest-written comics to read next year…
Best of 2003: Dawson's Creek Finale
Okay, I haven't watched the past two seasons of this, because I thought that the story had been played out, and I didn't really want to see what contortions the writers went through to end up sending Dawson back to the Boston area. When I heard that Kevin Williamson was returning to write the finale, I knew that if nothing else, the final two episodes would be worth watching. And yes, they were. Metafiction jokes about the infamous stylised dialogue and the ages of the cast, a look at the motivations of a writer, a sad farewell, the return of fond-remembered characters, and even a final resolution of the love triangle (which managed to give both Joey/Dawson and Joey/Pacey fans what they wished for, although in different ways). It was all a final episode needed to be, and a little bit more besides.
