sasha_featherSo I got a couple of my friends watching and re-watching Dark Angel! (were_duck and jesse_the_k.) I re-watched a couple of episodes too.
Things that I like include: Look how many people of color there are! And wow, there are actual poor people in the world, instead of TV-poor-people, like how Veronica Mars is supposedly poor yet wears a different outfit every week. There's a disabled character (Logan, in a wheelchair) in the main cast. There's a lesbian character (Original Cindy) in the main cast who is also a person of color.
I love Max as a character! In fact I love all the characters. Sketchy! Herbal Thought! Normal! Yes, they all have cool weird names like that, and they work at a bike messenger service. That's were Max works in her day job. By night she is a cat burglar with superpowers! She is a genetically engineered super-soldier who escaped her government compound when she was 12 or so. She's trying to track down her other fellow escapees (whom she calls her siblings), and also stay away from the baddies who are trying to recapture her. Logan, who is a rich dude with a cause, recruits her to help fight the corrupt government in exchange for helping her find her family.
You should watch this show! I should warn you, the 2nd season gets weird and sometimes quite bad. I am a true fan and I love it anyway despite the horrible plot arcs. It has Jensen Ackles in it! Really, the 1st season is what the show truly is, but it does end on a cliffhanger, so you probably want to watch the at least part of the 2nd season, and then why not just finish it off? I rather liked the series ender. Skip the S2 "Halloween" episode though. Oh man. Bad.
I forgot to say how pretty the people are. They are SO PRETTY! It's a good Science Fiction show and you should watch it!!
So! Does anyone know of good Dark Angel fic?
