I was torn about that. Yeah it was cool to see him again, but the 'I've got a heart for you' moment was one of the best in S1 and his return kind of undercut it. Ah well. I guess the temptation to give the character a pseudo happy ending was too great ;)

I do have a few questions. What is the deal Manticore progeny and crime? Almost every charcter we see is either a thief or a con-artist. Secondly, why does it appear everyone on the show has a drinking problem? I know there aren't a whole lot of amenities post pulse but there must be other things that could occupy their time. Note - I am pro alcohol.
It does seem that there was a lot of drinking, but Donald was the only character with a real problem.
As you were Chrisisall

You also didn't like that Buffy came back.
Once a series grinds a character into the ground, you don't ever want to see them again. You hated seeing Vader show up as a happy ghost, didn't you?
There is no end Chrisisall

I agreed w/Chrisisall, but also I think that the whole concept of living outside of society means living through crime: it was hard for Max to maintain even that fringe type messenger service job without people noticing that she was 'different'. It is easier to hide when you aren't working 9to5 rubbing shoulders everyday with those who are making an honest day's living....
And of course all the manticore kids had to stay in hiding that first season, because they were being actively hunted.

I thought the third season might explore a world where the general population knew that transgenics were real....
people afraid of them (like the themes explored in X-men), people trying to keep them in their ghetto (segregation), maybe companies trying to exploit them....
I felt that there were a lot of places the third season could go that had to do with the secret really being 'out' and what that would mean for both the Manticore kids and society in general.
Personally I would embrace a mini-series or movie based on Dark Angel.
Actually the biggest difference as far as I could see between Dark Angel and Firefly was that Joss can't ignore the voices in his head:
James Cameron seemed to accept the cancellation and walked away from his show (albeit sadly)
but Joss has stories and characters inside of his skull that are demanding expression,
so he wrote the movie
and he wrote comics and is writing more comics...
he isn't done, which is a BIG difference.

we ALL hated seeing the Vader as happy ghost!
(hated it even more when they recast the ghost after the fact)

So did I, actually. It made sense to have him standing there alongside Ben and Yoda --the only three Jedi Luke has known.
What I hate is the replacement of Sebastian (whose face Luke would recognize as his father) with Hayden (who Luke's never seen in his life). It's just insulting to Shaw as an actor.
