Little did you know Angel was good and you'd end up watching most of it or little did you know Angel premiered the year before Dark Angel? ;)

even earlier than that since 'Angel' was an established character on Buffy from it's first season (1997)
But I get it, Chrisisall, you feel that your favorite series isn't getting the attention it deserves and then gets ripped off, or is apparently ripped off....
It is the way I continue to feel about Firefly,
why hasn't it caught on more? Why didn't Serenity make a bigger impression? How is it that people haven't recognized this incredible show?
sigh

Well yeah...but if every character name currently on TV was off limits to new shows we'd end up with Zebedee and Lucretia smoldering up the Lost island ;)
Q for CIA: did they ever even use the phrase Dark Angel on the show?

Quote:Ashamed to admit that I don't know for sure, but I think Logan recited some poem in one ep that might have contained the phrase. It comes mostly from Cameron's fascination with 'Battle Angel', or so I've read.

And now he's doing a live action version of that.

EDIT: what with Buffy and Angel, it's been nearly a year since I last saw full seasons of DA!!!

The same reason it took this current war so long to become unpopular; peeps take a long time to discover the truth of things.
Remember The Prisoner? It was on PBS first, then when it developed it's following after a few years, it went to regular TV, all cut to shreds for commercials. But at least it WENT mainstream, and was pretty widely liked.
Time, pet, time. For instance:

Any year now Chrisisall

Quote:It gets worse; there's an actual manga series called Dark Angel. Looks to be about some kinda spy or something (I've seen the books, but haven't actually picked them up).

Quote:Technically it was Max reciting the poem that Logan had written for/about her. It was fairly early; that's when she realized that they were falling for one another.

Quote:Ironically enough, Lucretia's already (kinda) taken: Lucretia Noin was on Gundam Wing (yes, an Italian woman on a Japanese show, and who dresses like a cowgirl [sadly, of the non-brown-coated variety] in her spare time). One of the only two female characters of any real significance, and (IMHO) a better pilot than any of the Gundam boys (they were all flying mobile suits that were effectively invincible, and each of them was still shot down [gundam destroyed or rendered inoperable] at least once. She was flying a mass-production fighter that appeared to be made out of tinfoil, was only hit once, and managed to walk away uninjured

We applied the cortical electrodes but were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient.

I've been watching all day
(I have no life, what can I say?),
and I think that the weird voice over at the beginning of each show in S2 is what killed it,
how could they spoil the tone of such a great show?
Of course I still love the second season...but I do hate that voice over at the beginning

Hey Chris, I've seen you pining for this show for quite sometime and never felt much pity for you having seen only 1 or 2 episodes myself. All of that changed today with me watching a good chunk of the marathon.
What can I say? I've always been a late comer. Didn't start watching Buffy until a saw a marathon on Memorial Day a few years back. Must be something about holidays and me having no life.
Back on topic. DA looks to have been something quite special. There were a lot of elements in the show that reminded me of other shows I really enjoyed:
Manticore reminded me of the Centre from The Pretender.
Jessica Alba had more than one moment of looking quite a bit like Eliza Dushku when she was playing Faith. Before anyone says it I know their characters were nothing alike.
Everytime I saw Logan I kept comparing him to both Wesley and Dr. Daniel Jackson. Again mostly a physical comparison especially when he was in the wheelchair.
I don't want to get into an ultra long post about every detail of the show so I'll just end by saying that I really liked it. Think I'll be adding some more DVD's to my collection of canceled shows very soon.

After 5 minutes of trying to come up with random names I just decided to risk it ;)
