(life gets too confusing sometimes)
And Chrisisall, there is no way FLF can hijack her own thread...I mean that is even harder than ignoring a thread when posting to it....
I think
Why I liked Dark Angel? Wild children with super powers rebeling against those who would enslave them? A world where the infrastructure has been destroyed creating a bigger than ever gap between the rich and the poor? What's not to love?
Reminds me a little bit of 'Firefly' and 'Fray'...
I saw Jessica Alba today in 'Fantastic Four', it was fun to see her again but I wish she hadn't gone blonde.... She would actually make a good 'Wonder Woman' (as a brunette) if I wasn't rooting for Morena and/or Gina to get the role...

I love Dark Angel for MANY reasons.
It's the best thing since Firefly.
I think the idea of America - the biggest superpower on the planet being brought to it's knees in all of a minute very interesting - and I like how they show everybody's coping - there's still fun to be had - even if they're all dirt-poor. I also like the idea that - in this world - you do what you can to survive - the bad guys are in charge and you can either keep your head down or fight the good fight. I love Michael Weatherly.
I also like the idea of Max and the transgenics (though mainly the X-series, some of the others get on my nerves), how the government made them strong - and how they mistreated them, causing them to run away; how they got seperated, and Max is just trying SO hard to find them again - but when she does, they're not (Zack) how she expected them to be. I think Pollo Loco is an amazing episode, because it shows what they were driven to by Manticore, the lengths Ben went to to feel safe.
On top of this, I like the real-life aspect of it all, her job, her friends, the fact that all of it COULD technically happen. It's not impossible - they ca't fly or use magic - it just makes me engage more with what's going on, because it's normal people like us in a situation that we could even find ourselves in one day. I just like to see how the characters react to this world.
I also LOVE the characters!
Original Cindy's hilarious, Sketchy's great, and Normal just makes a brilliant boss.
Zack, I'll admit, doesn't have the greatest personality in the world, but it's interesting seeing how Manticore is still with him, even so long afterwards - he can't escape, and this is what I love about all the X5's, particularly, as I have mentioned, Ben.
Lydecker has to be one of my favourite bad guys EVER from a show, and John Savage does a brilliant job - he's one of the best actors in the show.
I can't ignore Alec, and even if I did find him annoying and a bit of a jerk at first - I LOVE the Berrisford Agenda, and afterwards, just saw him in a completely different light.
Logan is also a very interesting character - although at first it's all 'fight-the-fight' (blah, blah, woof, woof), you eventually see more and more of his character - who eventually comes into his own in Freak Nation - jumping on the car, and attacking the Phalanx warrior - he just plain ROCKS! His fight to stay out of the wheelchair was also quite touching at times.
Max is the BEST! I really enjoy watching her, just trying to get by, episode to episode. I like to see her and Logan (alhtough wishing they'd get a bloody move on) together, and in Red, when she risks her life to save Original Cindy. She is most interesting though, when being confronted by her past, Zack, Tinga, the others - but particularly Lydecker, you can see just how much it troubles her that she couldn't kill him in Prodigy and working with him at the end of season 1.
Plus, I think the fight scenes are BRILLIANT! It's nice to see a girl kicking-ass that isn't on Buffy or Xena or some-such. I also like that she doesn't use guns - it makes them SO much more interesting.
And finally, whilst I'll admit s2 went downhill without major input from James Cameron, there were still so many episodes I loved, and even learned from that I would still rate it 27.5/10.
OMG - this is like the longest thread I've ever written - sorry folks - I'll try to keep it short in future. But you really shouldn't ask me what I love about Dark Angel without being prepared for a pretty lengthy reply. Just so you know.
I mean - there's so many things to love!
Even less thinly veiled hijacker of own thread FLF.
