Don't mean to correct a fellow Trangenic Browncoat, but wasn't the worst moment in S2 every moment in the Gill Girl episode?
Max could beat Buffy Chrisisall

As soon as I get a chance to rewatch it, I'll let you know :-) but my vague recollection was only that they were trying way too hard with the everything but the kitchen sink catalog of transgenics. Unfortunately a lot of S2 was like that, as bad as X-Files or the Pretender for making it up as they went along...or so it seemed.
I'm a Transgenic Browncoat? Cool. ;-) Most Dark Angel fans I know wouldn't even watch Firefly, they were so p.o.'ed that Fox cancelled it. But I gathered that DA was doomed anyway (creative differences?) and it was JOSS WHEDON, for pity's sake.
The episode I hated the most was Heat. But then I had teenage girls living at home back then.

You know, I saw a whole thread at another site all about who could kick who's ass, Buffy or Max!
Buffy has super-strength/ Max has military training- Buffy can sense oncoming danger/ Max can 'blur'...
Can you imagine even getting into a juvinile discussion like that? There's no point.
Max would win.
Buffy's GREAT, but....Chrisisall

All my money would be on Max, that's for sure.
But Buffy had Spike so she wins the twisted relationship contest. (Spike made me like BtVS, which is a feat in itself. The whole show, not just the quippy bits.)
I rarely get to any other boards even to lurk but as a heroine, I don't think it's that Max can kick Buffy's behind. What Max has that Buffy doesn't is an inner confidence - which I'm sure comes from that military upbringing. Buffy's world was sent into a tailspin when she became the Slayer and nothing was ever the same again. Max came out swinging and never stopped. She deals with the world the way it is. She even figures out a way to handle Logan's world, which is scarier in its own way.
They are on journeys in opposite directions, I guess. Buffy becomes more than human and Max is becoming truly human. Guess which one I like better?

BTW, which season of Buffy do you like best? Currently I only have S1, and have never seen any other.
Watched C.R.E.A.M. the other night, even the 'just okay' eps of DA S1 are still great!
Later, Terry, gotta bounce.
That's so bitch Chrisisall

I was exposed to Buffy through my own teenagers and didn't really start watching until season 5 - because I am a sucker for a good cliffhanger. I'll even watch the series finales of shows I don't even watch. ;-) I wanted to see how Joss resolved it and it blew me away. I know most fans hate season 6 but I loved it, every dark, twisted and sick bit of it. Because when bad stuff happens it changes you and you can never go back to who you were - that is so true and one you don't often see played out on tv.
I like what Joss does with Mal better, though.
But each season has good bits; if you get the FX cable channel, they are still running both Buffy and Angel. Now there is a series finale that rates as number 1 (IMNSHO) Angel's last episode took my breath away.

My bank account weeps, for 11 seasons I must buy...WILL KILL IT!!!!
No cable here, must rent from netflix, I guess.
The more I hear about Angel, the more I want to see it.
But only Firefly is better than watching Max Guevarra!

Hello Chris. You asked for my opinion so here I am. ::sighs:: Well it's been quite some time since I've even pulled them off the shelf. I've been lost in other mutant shows and La Femme right now.
But from what I remember it's almost as if not only did they change their minds with where the story was going but they also decided to let the second string and third string writers take a stab at it. Which would make sense considering Cameron decided right at the beginning of the season that he didn't really want to be involved in it anymore. I just assumed when he pulled back so did the story designs and direction. That's particularly evident when you drone through the season and get to the finale which Cameron was once again in charge of. Then you see the intensity and the story and everything just come roaring back. Then I wanted more.

I hope she does the soup-thing. It's always a hoot and we don't all die from it.

Yeah, I think your list is bout right. Can't believe FOX, as you may have noticed in my latest thread. WE NEED A DA MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone get in touch with James Cameron. Please.
...and we will call it...this land...

As much as I hate to say it, I thik Cameron and the cast are too spread out doing different things. It would take some kind of miracle for them to even consider it. It had almost an ending in Freak Nation...we just have to imagine the loose ends gettin' tied up, like on the other DA thread here.
Sad transgenic Chrisisall
