Bingo. That's about right.

Do not fear me. Ours is a peaceful race, and we must live in harmony.

I would roughly agree with that, which, to me, still puts all of them on the top shelf.
The very best moments of all three are just about equal for me, although FF and Buffy have so many more of them.

Not too far out there Chrisisall

It would be the fight of her life, but Max would win; Faith relies too much on her givens (strength, stamina) and never applied herself to technique, Max has formal training, and endless down and dirty experience.
Doubt it? Look at the pummeling she took and dished out in 'Reds'. Faith had trouble with four normal policemen at the end of season 7.

I like Dark Angel.

The strong female character is the only thing that I get to see similarites in Buffy. Faith's attitude in a way is similar to Max. Just the slang. But I do not believe it is a copy of Buffy in every way. The DA and BTVS has similarities only.

Logan as a watcher? I never felt it. As a device to tell a story, never felt it either. Maybe that is just me? But I was never looking for that. I thought Prof. X though.( probably the wheelchair). Watching DA gave me the feeling of X-Men, wolverine and his clone? what's her name?

I like Dark Angel, still give it an "A-". Top 5 of top 10 list.

I just finished DA. My aunt even made a comment that it was better than Buffy, because there were no demons. It changed a lot in season 2 though.

I was excited to see the name JOSE MOLINA story editor and writer in Dark Angel. Firefly's ARIEL? Did he write it? I know he wrote episodes in Firefly but can't remember why.

If DA did a different season 2 and placed s2 in season 3. It would have worked out well. When the story was over, I would have wanted to see more. Maybe a movie.

One of those lines that's funny on numerous levels.

Another thing:

If there was a fight between Buffy and Max, my bet is on Max.

Between Max and River, I am not sure. River may have the advantage with her psychic abilities. But is it enough to actually beat Max?

But Glory is my overall goddess of kick-butt.

Not sure here, Buffy's incredibly in tune with her slayer-y-ness...

Well, I just finished the first season last night and I quite enjoyed it. I am a bit wary of season 2 though.. dont wanna get my hopes up, seems most of you agree season 2 is not much good.
