The show would be quite a bit better without Original Cindy (I think about turning it off every time she makes one of her 3rd person "jokes"). I could really do without pretty much all the supporting cast, except Logan. He's a good character.
Keep Max and Logan, nuke the whole damned bike depot, and I'll be happier.
I could also live without the (already-dated) futuristic lingo. You could play a drinking game and get totally smashed every time Max says "I've gotta blaze/bounce".
And no, Chris, I've never had any child abandonment issues like that, so if that's the main appeal, I don't see it ever clicking for me.

Double.
So I'll just take this opprotunity to say I much prefer Alias, again. Time to break out that boxed set, I think.

Just sayin' that if you feel her sorrow in a personal way, her character is that much more real for 'y'all, boo.
Chrisisall is currently watching the end of season two, and has to bounce.

Quote:I watched the first season of Alias (bought it on a recommendation) and my problem with it was that the tone of the show was dead-serious while all these fantastic Bond-type things were goin' on...but I could definitely see why lots of folk love it- just a little self-winky would have made it more MY thing...

Seriously - I have to say (before Chrisisall goes nuclear) I much preferred "Dark Angel" over "Alias" and not for the less-than-intellectual reasons I joke about above. Alias always felt to me like a series of video game cut-scenes pasted together and a clearly "lets-make-it-up-as-we-go-along" story arc with a bizzarre SF/fantasy subplot which didn't really fit with the rest of the show.

1. Firefly
2. Farscape
3. Stargate Atlantis
4. Stargate SG-1
5. Doctor Who
6. The 4400
7. Pushing Daisies
8. BSG
9. Chuck
That's it for me. The first two have touched my soul more deeply than almost anything else in my life, the next two are very very dear to me, 5-7 are great fun that I can't find anything wrong with, and the last two are great entertainment even though I have complaints.

I suppose Alias has merit, as long as you remember it was a copycat of Dark Angel. Dark Angel debuts Oct 2000. Alias follows in Sep 2001.

Firefly
Dexter (compulsive and repulsive viewing)
The Office (The original Ricky Gervais version)Extras (Not yet copied to in the U.S, I give it a couple more months for before that happens)
House (A damn fine comedy)
24 (Adrenalin TV)
Doctor Who (Since its been around for 40 years just the new series made in this century. All hail Peter Davison of old, my doctor and David Tenants)
Ideal (That show is too hard to describe)
Eureka (Cause the script reads my mind)
I'd have had 'Spaced' on there as well but it first showed up in 1999.
