Destabilize the largest government on the planet? That makes sense, but did the Breeding Cult not anticipate the X5s getting out?
It's possible, now that I think about it. They could've been banking on Lydecker to be more competent at hunting them down than he was.
Hmm. Do we know if Renfrow might have been a cult operative? There's a twist; Sandeman orchestrates Project Manticore to counter the cult, but they manage to place someone highly enough to take it over, which leaves Sandeman trying to break away from his own break away plan.
And if Sandeman had primed one of them (i.e., Max) as the key to the cult's destruction (but the Manticore personnel probably didn't know it, and definitely didn't know who said agent might be. . .
Wait, maybe he instigated the breakout, aiming to get them (and Max in particular) on the run just as the Pulse was happening, knowing that his agent would be able to remain in play.
If she'd remained at Manticore, it's likely they would have eventually discovered her unique genetic setup.
This assumes of course that Sandeman knew the Pulse was coming. . .
Wait, what if it was Sandeman who set off the Pulse?
He puts the ball (Max) in play, then sets off the Pulse to cripple pursuit (crashing the entire continental US as collateral damage because the stakes are so high). He must have known that the cult would take advantage, but was banking on the excaped X5s to be able to evade Lydecker (an unwitting pawn, put in place by Sandeman's hand precisely because Max could outwit him) until his genetic timer pulled Max into action.
Or maybe I've just been reading too many conspiracy theories lately.

Hey Chrisisall! Anything new been going on?
Oh and I'm very pleased with myself - I have managed to watch Serenity around 20 times (since getting it towards the end of February)AND stayed on top of all my work.
But then that's mainly because I've been ill the last couple of days and have also been lending my Firefly boxset out to almost everyone I know in the hopes they'd buy the movie (I think about 5/6 of them have bought either the series, the movie or both afterwards - and a lot of them are obsessed - ah Joss - you did well). And now everyone's heard about it - and are borrowing off other people, and it's all very complicated - but I think we've managed to boost sales. Though Serenity has done pretty well over here (getting to no1!) yay. Although it does mean I've been Fireflyless for almost 3months now. :( Will have to buy a spare boxset.
Sorry - I haven't had a Serenity ramble in a while- back on to DA - I've lent that to several of my friends and they all love it - and a couple have gone out to get the DVD.
I also like the idea that maybe the breeding bult (or even Sandemann) was behind the pulse - although it is a little conspiracy-theoryish - but then again so's the WHOLE idea of transgenics (relatively at least). Anyway - it's definitely plausible (though Im sure SOMEONE will come up with a reason that it's not) so you never know. hmmm. Shall have to ponder some more.
You know I still haven't read the books? I haven't seen them anywhere and without the internet - couldn't order them online. Will have to get round to it.
ANYWAY - it's been fun talking to ya Chris - and I'm glad to see you've kept the DA threads alive.
The purple elephants are flying.

I loved Dark Angel, although I think Max was a lot tougher in the 1st season although I love her relationship with Logan

Gotta say, I ~think~ I may have seen one of the last episodes or something, caught one halfway through and the next week at the same time something different was on... must say... it was... interesting, I liked it but some concepts seemed WAAAAY to pushed for me, but then again, it may have been the final episode so... not really fair to judge something I only saw the once, I would like to see some of it, but I have serious cash flow issues right now.... :(

That's all I wanted...
Okay so I'm not new to Dark Angel or Firefly but, I got words just the same. I saw Fantastic 4 in theaters and rented it . adding to your two items listed, I believe Fantastic 4 had Jessica as naked as we'll ever see her. The extras on the bridge section must have gotten an eyeful!

no haven't finished the first season yet. Might possibly be on the last disc though, can't remembe rhow many was in the season. I've been renting them one or 2 at a time.
I'll probably buy it eventually. I don't really like it as much as Buffy, so far anyways but i could see myself wanting to watch it again every now and then.
