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

Did you read the finale that I wrote above in capsule form? I'm fleshing it out in script form, just to give myself an ending (and for Zoot & Fantasticlaughingfairy). Anything you'd add, or change?
I agree that a real ending on film is out of the question; where it ended was cool. I don't think they could re-capture that 'feel' again.

Nope, Don't change a thing! I liked both the Series Finale and Your ending about the same. Good endings to a good show.

Soooo..... Dark Angel. Loved the show, was super pissed when it was cancelled in lew of firefly. There is an awesome virtual season of it kicking around somewhere, I have it all printed out. But I think the books were crap.

I am probably one of the few people who liked season two better than one. I love joshua, I think that relationship with him and max is awesome, and Alec is awesome too=) and I liked gill girl if just for the scene where she is on alecs lap.

As for jessica alba being a big star, I don't really think so at least she will never be for me. She's hot no doubt, but in interviews and on the audio commentary she is annoying and I don't like her at all.

Side note on the crossovers my first fanfic was a Buffy dark Angel piece with Faith being Max's real mom=)

I agree - Chrisisall - your plan for an ending was great. One thing I would say, although I know you weren't happy with how you did it - you HAVE to bring Lydecker back. In the show he just disappears too quickly and without enough explanation as to what actually happened to him (apart from -'There's no way he could have survived' and 'No, we never found the body,' etc.). But that was one of the main things that annoyed me about the series - how they dropped Lydecker - could you work that one out for me Chrisisall?

Yeah, Lydecker needs more 'screen time', I plan to expand his role signifigantly from the cameo he has in my thumbnail sketch above.
I think it's somehow fitting that he (in part) created her (DNA-wise), and ends up giving his life for her's. The last caring act he performs.

You could see the trouble he had telling his men to shoot the escaping kids in the pilot...

Man, he was a GREAT villain.

I liked season two better than one although it felt like the last two episodes were really what the third season would have been if it hadn't been cancelled.

Glad to see that Dark Angel lives on in more than just my heart... interesting ending for the series Chrisisall, you've obviously given it a lot of thought! But I wouldn't (personally) be entirely happy with your ending, and I know a lot of others who wouldn't either, 'cause you forgot ALEC!! :) I wouldn't consider Max and Joshua to be the heroes at the expense of Alec... he was always around to help as well.. IMO he saved the second season from being a complete waste of time (sorry that was a bit harsh, but he the only two characters I liked in that show were Alec and Ames White. The rest were just dull).

Sorry if this post is a bit harsh I don't mean to be horrid or anything, I just wanted to have my 2 cents. I would LOVE a Dark Angel movie although considering everyone has their own individual thoughts on how it should have ended and it would be impossible to keep everyone happy... I don't really have a problem with Max and Logan ending up together, don't get me wrong, I just think you've overlooked Alec in your story!! Do you have a plan for him?

Although my own "ending" is still a rather vague concept working around the idea of an apocalypse (Max is supposedly the "Chosen One" so I'd be looking at that from a theological perspective)...

Feedback welcome!!

You are so right, Alec needs to be a big part of any continuation. My main idea didn't include him (or Lydecker very much), but I'd correct that in an actual script, which I'm formulating at this time. Asha will also have a part, too.
And Mole.
Etc.

And the apocalypse thing, would you have it hit, and start killing huge numbers of people before Max could stop it? Would you tie Max into a Christ-like scenerio (like Neo in Matrix Revulsions, er, Revolutions)?
Just curious...

No, fox completely ruined the show in season 2 by forcing the writers to drop the whole post apocalyptic theme.
