Dark Angel: could it REALLY be wrapped up in a final movie, and if so- would it satisfy?

But that's a story you have to make up for yourself

Preferably by Joshua. He's had it coming for a while now.

Funny you should say that, it works out that way in the last novel, albeit it was executed (excuse pun) in a gross and needlessly bloody fashion.
Chrisisall ewwwww

One last time, for any interested, my ending:
After the events in Freak Nation Ames White is taken to a mental hospital, where he breaks out with the help of a Cult assault team, convinces them that they're the top of their genetic food chain and deserve to rule the 'new world'. White and co. then kill off the leaders of the Cult and take charge.
The Transgenics are working on a delivery system for Max's 'genetic salvation', and are nearing completion.
Days go by as Logan finishes deciphering Max's runes- they talk about balance, blagh, blagh, basically Max was designed to counter White. Max ponders while Logan says it's just based on some old prophesy and in an emotional moment, he touches her. Logan falls to the virus and is taken to Dr. Shankir, who gives 'em the 'Nothing we can do, Joshua's blood could only save him once' speech.
Max, knowing Logan is as good as dead, decides to take it to White, and Joshua follows against her orders.
Max and Joshua find Cult HQ and do some recon. The comet passing Earth will be the signal to alert thousands of Breeding Cult operatives in key positions worldwide to take over as the virus begins to kill millions, co-ordinated by White, and plunge the Earth into the dark ages again.
At the hospital Logan's eyes open. Dr. Shankir looks puzzled.
Back at the Cult hideout Lydecker appears in front of Max and Joshua. "I've been aware of their operation for some weeks now. You'll need some help." He says. Our two heroes, already in shock, look over their shoulders to see a dozen armed commandos. " Not much, but well trained and loyal.." Lydecker adds. They all crash in and go berserk on the bad guys! Cult baddies drop left and right as they were caught off-guard. Lydecker and his men trade lives for lives. Max is horrified to see Joshua go down. Now it's just Max, Lydecker and White, all others dead or running.
White grabs a gun from a dead commando and aims at Max- Lydecker, out of ammo, jumps to take the bullet and falls, a hole squarely between his eyes. Max, in a blinding burst of speed grabs and twists the gun out of White's hand, kicking him back a few feet at the same time. She points the gun at him.
Comet approaching Earth, control panel waiting to be activated, White says "..Can't be faster than me, I was bred to-"
Max shoots him in the head. [Flashback: "...I don't do guns."] White's body hits the ground.
No sounds or movement, now. She is the only one standing. [Flashback: her and Logan kissing/ Logan dying from the virus] She sinks to her knees. "Logan...", she mutters. As if by itself the gun begins to move. She slowly points it at her own head, tears begining to flow.
"No,little fella", says a rising but very bloody Joshua. She drops it, sobbing.
Outside cars pull up. Max sees Logan step out of one. Amazed and crying, she runs to him.
"We're too late, the comet's on us!" she says. Logan explains that her genetic code was piggybacked onto a cold virus that was successfully launched into the atmosphere last week, making most immune to the comet's effects, and that Joshua's blood has mutated his genes enough to help his antibodies wipe out the virus. Comet passes Earth.
Joshua is carried out, still alive, and put in a car to go to a hospital.
Logan and Max look at eachother, and embrace as if no one else is even there.
Cut to: Space Needle with no one on it.
Fade out.
Chrisisall, with delusions of writer-hood

really really good - especially the "I don't do guns" "no one is faster than me, I was bred to" bit ...
Still not totally happy with the deus ex machina "piggybacking on cold virus" but I have no alternative to offer and otherwise its fantastic!
Now all you have to do is write it up properly!!

Thanks so much Zoot, for the thumbs up, and yeah, it needs to be fleshed out... Lydecker needs to be worked in earlier, lurking about...
Only, should it be in script form ( I could do that easily), or in short novel form ( That would require more time, and editing from Wifeisall, the real writer in the family)?
Either way I'd send you a copy when done, electronically, or the old-fashioned way (there's something cool about seein' stamps from another country on your mail...).
Funny, bein' a fan of so many shows for all these years, and I never even thought up, much less wrote down, a 'fan' story before.
Here's another thing, now that I've seen so much Buffy and Angel, I took a look at Exposure last night, and I actually liked it. It was on my crap list a while back, but B&A have softened me up to the weird and culty. I think the list of unwatchable 2nd series eps for me has dwindled down to:
Two
Gill Girl
Love in Vein
With Radar Love and Boo coming in as just 'weak'.
Gotta blaze
Keepin' the DA obsession alive, even in the face of the illustrious BDM Chrisisall

Gotta go with Love in Vein as the worst of the WORST!!!
And as for Exposure – it’s passable, I just don’t think it really gets us anywhere ….
I always think that novel form for TV series are a bit clunky – I think script form would be ace as you can really get the characters over through their speech – which is something you don’t always get in novels …
I must say I’d never conceived of writing fanfic until I watched Firefly and have tried to keep my as accurate to the characters and their ways of speaking as possible … I still feel funny about fanfic which is why no one who knows me gets told what my hook is on this site!!! 
Oh, and getting a script through the post would be superb and so exciting I just might scream!! So get writing!!!

How can you diss Two?! Max's face when Alec walks into Jam Pony... PRICELESS! And Alec's confrontation with the Steelheads... PRICELESS! And Alec and Max's argument over the ball... PRICELESS!
Yeah, safe to say, though it was a Joshua ep... Alec OWNED Two. I tend to just ignore the Joshua stuff.

OMG! I can't believe I missed this -I haven't been on in a while though - but this! Chrisisall -I love your idea to write a fanfic - it's a pretty good way of ending it, although I'm not sure I agree about the script/book. I just love reading books -but I understand where Zoot's coming from - it would be a little clunky if it wasn't done well. Basically I think you should do whatever you find easier, because it will end up being written better -which is what I want out of it really (if you wouldn't mind e-mailing me a copy). I can't wait! Probably take ages though. Damn the writing process. I'm a little too impatient for that kind of thing. I'm amazed I managed to hang on for Serenity.
Patience, patience - WHO NEEDS PATIENCE? - Rambling now FLF.
