Yeah, the first season was AMAZING, but the second season had a lot of episodes that were just filler really, that didn't go witht the main storyline - like that AWFUL episode with the creature that spat goo! What was that about? That has to be like the worst episode.
Season 2 was still enjoyable though, because of the main plot and Alec. Man he was cool (the Berresford Agenda, awww). Anyway. Yeah. S1 amazing, S2, fine. My opinion anyway.

'Borrowed Time'. It started out as a serious ep with Max getting 'cured' for 24 hours, and how she and Logan could consumate their relationship at least for that one time, and degenerated to a stupid 'comedy' that ended in the creature being like a bad dog kinda freak. I only included it on the 'acceptable' part of my list for the first 20 minutes of the Logan/Max stuff, which was really good. Too bad the ep didn't just stick with that, it would've actually been one of their stronger episodes if they had.
Uhhh, he slimed me Chrisisall

Yeah, I actually liked that part about Borrowed Time, it was a bit like I Will Remember You (Angel S2) which I love, but the goo-spitting creature (I think it was called a gossamer) just destroyed it. And why couldn't Logan and MAx just get it on?
Chrisisall, you really should try to see Buffy S2 and possibly S5 - the best by far. Don't think anything but Firefly can beat DA S1 and it's pretty close between them. I reckon you got your list just about right there dude - but what's with your major Snake-Cult-Issue. It wasn't that bad. It was better than all those eps with the 'nomilies. My opinion anyhoo. You going to see Fantastic Four (what's the other movie she's in? - I forgot now.)

It's just that it was, IMHO, an unnecessary element to up the wierdness factor, and ultimatly didn't go anywhere. That was time I felt that would be better spent on Sketchy, or Cindy.
It's not that I really hated it. Would you add any snake cult episodes to the list?
I did love the scene where Max flashed the cult kid to distract him- perfect way to handle a young teen with raging hormones! Ha ha ha ha
Me and the Mrs are SO gonna see Fantastic 4!! (She loves the guy playing Reed, and what can I say? Sue Storm will ROCK!!!)
PS, I already saw Buffy S2, and Passion was my fav ep from that season.
It's clobberin' time Chrisisall

Here, FLF, check this site out. I don't agree with every rating, but the reviews are well written and interesting. It's also pretty.

Can I just ask - what's with the cheesy voice in the titles of S2? To me it just signifies everything that went wrong with the show. sigh.

They were trying to emphasise that she was 'designed' for a purpose, and had a 'destiny', so people would be prepared for the whole Sandeman/no junk DNA/she's 'the ONE' thing that they came up with during the hiatus.
Like Finn said, I would have been happy if they just stuck to the intimate little stories about the characters, but they thought they had to go big time to keep and attract more viewers. Ah well...
Still a fan Chrisisall

Yeah, but what did the whole 'no junk DNA do'? she could dtill get her ass kicked by other X5's - even her junk-DNA-filled up clone.
Anyway, still love the show - even the second season - much better than most of what's on TV. Plus the overall storyline was fine really.

No junk DNA meant that unlike all other life forms on Earth, every sequence had definite and particular purpose. Her genetic code was gonna save most of humanity (those not specially made or bred) from the upcoming apocalypse- a comet that passes the Earth once every few millenia and poisons the planet (it's really what killed off the dinosaurs, dontcha know) was supposed the infect the planet again, and only the best bred were gonna live, 'cept Max was gonna spread her code through a cold virus to save everyone. She was literally designed to be the savior of mankind.
Season 3 woulda ROCKED!!!
Listen to the commentary on Freak Nation to get a slightly more detailed account.
