If you like Dark Angel, you probable like most or all of season one. But two was, for me, problematic. I've made a list of good or acceptable episodes(in my humble opinion), and ones not listed are either plain stupid, or involve too much about that insipid snake cult.

GOOD SHOWS:
Episode 1- Designate this
2- Bag 'em
3- Proof of Purchase
7- Some assembley required
10- Brainiac
11- The Berrisford agenda
12- Borrowed Time
13- Harbor lights
17- Hello, Goodbye
18- Dawg Day Afternoon
19- She ain't heavy
21- Freak nation
ACCEPTABLE SHOWS:
5- Boo
15- Fuhgeddaboudit
20- Love Among the Runes (on orders of FantasticLaughingFairy)

Which leaves 6 worthless episodes(again, in my humble opinion).
Did I leave anything good out?
Did I include any real stinkers?
Do you care?

It's so easy with Firefly episodes since they're ALL excellent
uh-oh, x-7's, gotta blaze.

Thanks to Kukoo for his imput.

The Berrisford Agenda was phenomenal. Harbor Lights was all right. I just didn't like the direction they went with in Season 2. It was all about everybody else and not the main characters. With the exception of Alec. That boy had some great moments.

Any episode with that stupid dog/man was horrible. I couldn't believe she blew up that base at the end of season 1. They could have milked that for a few seasons if they wanted and it still would have been good. I thought all of season 2 would have been her brainwashed or whatever it was (it's been a while, I forget the details) and they rest of the gang would have had to fight/elude her while trying to convert her back to normal. THAT would have been good. Personally, I think after 9/11 they got scared and wanted to take the show in a friendlier direction. Stupid FOX.

You know what? I just watched Love in vein last night, and I had to remove it from my list! It was worse than I remembered.
I never saw a show (with the exception of Firefly) that I loved so much so quickly... the second season was like having your best friend kinda go nuts on you. At least it had a couple of gems in the batch. Still would like to see a tv movie to tie things up, but....

You are dead on, man. 9/11 changed the direction of a lot of shows and movies! Look a Matrix 2&3, was that where they were goin' with that, either?
At least DA maintained that evil had to be fought! How's this:
After Freak Nation Ames White was taken to a looney bin where he killed himself, and the viris in Max mysteriously burned itself out- there, happy ending.
Like it?

actually I didn't find the second season that horrible,
not quite as good as the first,
but still better than a lot of stuff on TV.
I was really sorry to see the show get cancelled.

Me too. I didn't think 2nd season was HORRIBLE, it just wasn't as mind-blowing as the first. I was just like someone above said, Joshua and the snake cult took too much time away from the characters I DID care about(Max & Logan).
DIEFOXDIE.

I'm with you Chrisisall, I didn't think the second season was as interesting as the first. in my opinion it dragged away from Max(I didn't much care for Logan, probably because i grew jealous when Max and Logan got intimate.) Anyway the second season didn't seem to have the structured feel of the first, and I need to be able to follow a story when watching TV. That's my two cents.

Jensen Ackles is a legend ;) And yeah S2 was lacking structure compared to S1. Then again I thought S1 was only good, not great.

i acquired and watched through the dvd box sets of both seasons a few months back and was surprised by the reminder of just how much i loved the show (and the delectable ms alba). and whilst the second season did lose a bit of the tightness of the first, i still found it to be very enjoyable.

as for getting some closure on everything, there have been 3 official books written, 1 prequel explaining why max was in seattle, and 2 sequels dealing with the manticorian's seige and the snake cult. the latter books rush through the story a bit as they are obviously being written to tie up the loose ends rather than to continue the universe, but they are readble and bring you to an acceptable conclusion.
