I'm half way through Skin Game at the moment actually and am liking it - a bit annoyed by the replay of most of season two from Kelpy's pov but otherwise am liking it - bought the final one second hand on amazon and am expecting it any time now ... Nice to have a further connection with a show I really loved and to see an ending of sorts ....

Yeah, yeah, well I can't spell what I think is stupid, anyway Chrisisall
Yeah and gotta say Star Wars in general bites the big one in terms of believability and continuity!!!

Regarding Star Wars: I'll paraphrase a line from Highlander...
'There can be only three!'
...and I don't mean from this century.

The Zack thing kind of got me thinking - when the whole manticore mutant thing got out - wouldn't Zack notice his bar-code and get thinking etc. which (judging on what he's been like) should have him heading towards terminal city - I mean he arranged the escape to 'the outside world' they knew nothing about - surely he'd be curious enough to head towards terminal city? Or at least would have got suspicious enough to appear in another episode etc. or got a few memories back or something. I don't think they'd have been able to lie to him forever especially when it all came out.
Just what I think/was wonderin anyway.

Hey, has anyone seen this book - it's a massive rip-off of Dasrk Angel!
There's some kids involved in genetic experiments where they mix their DNA with animals.
The leader -MAX breaks them out. (and she kicks ass)
They run away when the people come after them (with some more genetic mutants dog-people or something).
Sounmd familiar or anything? sheesh!
The only difference is that they have wings.

I hadn't thought of Zack's response...he sure would be suspicious of his barcode! It's not like he could never notice it, or not have a remark shot at him about it from a curious stranger.
I could see a whole arc about his 'repatriation' into the 'genetically empowered' world being written!
If I ever write my OWN Dark Angel novel, I'd be sure to include that!!!
Good thinkin'.
FLF kicks ass, says so on my tee-shirt Chrisisall

Totally agree re the Zack thing - if I was them I'd a had it planned for season 3 - creates a nice bit of peril for Logan - a random X5 trying to kill him and Max torn between her brother and her lover - say a small 3 episode mid-series arc woulda been nice ....

Do either of you know what the books are called or where I can get them? I feel like I need some kind of closure.
Season 3 would've ROCKED!
Kick-ass FLF.

Yes - you can get them all on Amazon ....
The author is called Max Allan Collins and the books, well the two I've read, are called Skin Game (set directly after the close of season 2) and After the Dark (following on from Skin Game with a conclusion - apparently - I haven't finished it yet) ....
There is also a first one (set during the first season) called, I think, Before the Dawn ....
