Dark Angel Flisties? And a Silly Cat

[twasadark]

So sgriobadh uploaded an ep of S1 Dark Angel that had scrumdilious Jensen in it, which of course totally hooked me. And I understand that he's in all of S2. I've been watching the eps now - I started with S2 because hello - I MUST lust after my boy.  Anyhow, I just finished S2 #3 and I'm digging it because - hey - Jensen. Even if he does look awfully skinny which makes him appear to be way young. But I'm into Pedo Bear ... right?

Okay, so I have some questions maybe someone can help me with?

• What's the deal with Logan and the wheelchair? Sometimes he's in it and other times he's not. Huh?
• Is Logan as wimpy and annoying as it seems? Does Max stay with him? Please say no!!
  
• How many eps is Jensen really in? Is he a prominent part of the show? I'm loving his character - smart alecs are FTW!!!! - and so I want more more more!!
• Did S2 end in an infuriating cliffhanger?

•  

And now, cause I think this is cute and funny:

Do you want teaser-y answers or full-on spoiling?

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Full on spoil me, baby!

[jasmasson.livejournal.com]

I can't answer many of those questions, because I mostly went lalalalalalala when Jensen wasn't on, but I can confirm a horrible unresolved cliffhanger ending for the series. *shakes fists at Jessica*

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Grrrrrrrr!! Did Jessica not sign up for S3? Is that why it ended?

[janglyjewels.livejournal.com]

Logan was hit by a car in the first season and is paralyzed. He later was able to get this metal exoskeleton thingy and he can strap it on under clothes and he can walk.

Yes, Logan is as wimpy and annoying as he seems. Max and Logan have this on-again/off-again thing.

Jensen is in most of S2. I think there's only two or three episodes he's not in.

And, kind of.

[pkabyssinian.livejournal.com]

Wasn't Logan shot? Or am I misremembering that? Damn, I need to go back and watch all of DA again. =)

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Okay - great! Well, I guess it's not so great because of the annoying Logan. Maybe I'll have to write a fanfic in which he is turned into a zombie or something. LOL!!!

And I will DEFINITELY have to miss the eppies my boy isn't in!!

[pkabyssinian.livejournal.com]

Logan was crippled in S1 but they found a guy who had this (if I remember correctly) framwork thing for his legs that enhanced them. Logan got his hands on it and uses it to walk. I think there was also a point where he used Max's super blood to reverse the damage to his spine but that only worked short term.

Yeah, Max stays with Logan but there are a few points where it looks like she and Alec are getting cozy. =) I was told (dunno know accurate it is) that the producers or something wanted Alec and Max to hook up but in rl the actors playing Max and Logan were engaged (or married?). The actor who played Logan had a hissy and that's why season 3 got scrapped. =(

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Interesting ... Just a few points where they get cozy, huh? No full on nudity or anything? Oh, well ... I'm such a perv.

[janglyjewels.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Alba and Weatherly were dating/engaged and he didn't want Alec and Max together. He wanted Logan to be the big hero and not Alec.

[juice817.livejournal.com]

See, and I've always heard it was Alba who was a total bitch to everyone, especially Jensen.

[smilla02.livejournal.com]

I so should hook you up with someone who knows all about DA. Anyway, some of your questions I can vaguely answer. Logan is in a wheelchair in and out because of Max's blood. She has super-engineered blood and once she gave it to Logan and blah blah, healed him. Yes, Logan is truly annoying more times than not. He was less in first season, I think. Jensen is in many episodes and then from what a friend told me, he had problems with some of his costars and his intended role was changed. I'd jump to The Berrisford Agenda, it's a Alec centered episode, plus JA playing piano!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Ooooh! I like the idea of Alec playing the piano! Wow, Jensen had problems with some of his costars? Perhaps they were jealous of his outrageous beauty? lol!

[krisd81.livejournal.com]

Man, I totally watched both seasons when it was on TV some years ago and I failed to notice Jensen entirely.
Before you defriend me, I'll say in my defense that I think he played a not-so-good or possibly entirely bad guy and I just... well, I always focus on the hero. *shrugs*
I guess I should be doing some downloading now, huh?

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

WHAT???????? Well, I suppose you have redeemed yourself with the constant posting of incredibly hot Dean photos.

Yeah, the first eppy he was in he was a bad guy.

Also, your icon - bwah hahahahah!!!

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

A sI am becoming more and more of a JA fan, I think I may want to watch his DA stuff. Do you know if there are places it is, er, available?

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Hey there - sorry I didn't reply to this. I somehow missed it. If you join this comm: darkangel_eps the moderators will approve you in a day or so and they have links to all the eppys for dl. JA plays Ben in S1 Ep 17 (I think) and then he's in all of S2 except for 2 eppies.

Oh, wait. americangirl69 in the below comment says that it was Ep 18 of S1.

[americangrl69.livejournal.com]

Yes Logan's really that wimpy and pathetic. Max eventually breaks it off because she doesn't wanna risk accidentally killing him by touching him. He ends up going to her place but sees her with Alec and they're all friendly so of course the idiot that he is just assumes they're together and goes and gets drunk. She doesn't deny it either. Not that it was true but it made me happy. Though in the finale Max & Logan are shown holding hands so I'm not sure how that happened.

Jensen's in about 19 episodes. 1 in season 1 and 18 in s2.

The finale wasn't really a cliffhanger. There are a few continuation books but I've heard they not the best. Some of what I've heard about them seems very out of character for Max.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Sorry I didn't reply to this - I somehow overlooked it. Bad me!! Anyhow, thanks for your comments.

I was kind of disappointed with the eps after Max stopped being bitchy to Alec - it was like there was no interplay between them anymore. Wah! Anyhow, it sure was nice drooling over JA in the eppies!!

[bloody---reject.livejournal.com]

Cute. Kitty. Ever.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Haha! I think so, too!

[minniemax.livejournal.com]

ALEC FTW!!!!!

That's all.
LOL

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Haha!! Believe me, I'm agreeing with you!!

[spilled-coffee.livejournal.com]

You REALLY want to start talking about DA with me? Because I was a hardcore fan. Deeply involved in fandom, writing fanfiction including virtual seasons and everything. BUT (yeah, this might be a huge BUT for you) I was a die-hard Max/Logan shipper. Which you'll never be able to understand unless you watch Season 1. Which, IMO, is a 100 times better than season 2.

So my answers to your questions.

What's the deal with Logan and the wheelchair? Sometimes he's in it and other times he's not. Huh?

In the s1 episode "I and I am a Camera" Max and Logan meet Phil, a guy who is stalking Max (nobody knows about Transgenics in S1) and who seems to have superpowers himself. Turns out he only happens to have a so called exoskeleton, a pre-Pulse invention supposed to make the American soldiers faster and stronger. It's supposed to enhance abilites by 30%. The exoskeleton gets distroyed during this ep, but Phil gives it to Logan and he manages to repair it. And OF COURSE (because we're all stupid) it works even with Logan's paralysis. Dude, ever enhanced 0 by 30%? What do you get? Yeah, 0. Thank you. But for Logan it works and we'll just have to accept it for the sake of the show.

Is Logan as wimpy and annoying as it seems? Does Max stay with him? Please say no!!

Season 1 was a masterpiece in UST. Max and Logan finally get together in the ep "Meow", but then she's killed, but those Manticore guys patch her up again and put this killer-virus in her, that'll kill Logan if they only touch. And that's when Logan gets REALLX wimpy and whiny and annoying. In S1 Logan is very much the brooding type, has very strong opinions and is totally driven by his mission to save the world, but he's not that whiny. (well, only when that blood-transfusion that made him walk for a while wears off, but I thought that was okay). But he was never a funny guy, not like Alec. They're really two ends of the spectrum. And Max and Logan don't stay together and never really get together again because of the virus. They get close again (closer than Max and Alec), but that's about it. But Max REALLY leaving him doesn't work out either.

How many eps is Jensen really in? Is he a prominent part of the show? I'm loving his character - smart alecs are FTW!!!! - and so I want more more more!!
I think he was in 19 of the 21 episodes, so yeah, his character is kind of important. But he's not like Max or Logan who we see all the time.

Did S2 end in an infuriating cliffhanger?

No, not really. The show was on FOX and I think FOX is known to cancel shows randomly. The end is pretty open because they didn't know there wouldn't be a third season, but it's nothing that makes you freak out because you have to know what happens next. (James Cameron is obviously not Eric Kripke)

Any more questions? I can talk for a few more weeks about this show, lol.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Wow! You DO know a lot about the show!! I may have to check out some fanfic with a Max/Alec pairing. I don't suppose you could rec some good ones?

I am somewhat appeased by the fact that Max and Logan never do really get together (sorry!). I'm liking her character - tough women make me happy. But not TOO tough.

Yeah, Kripke is EVIL, huh? Poor poor Dean!!! How I weep for him ...

[irishka1205.livejournal.com]

I'm like you, I only saw one episode of season 1 (obviously the one with Jensen in) and then only the episodes of season 2 that Jensen was in and I did use my fastforward button a lot in the scenes Jensen wasn't in.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

I'll definitely to be doing that through the Logan scenes, LOL!

[zed-pm.livejournal.com]

LOL KITTY!!! XD

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Cats crack me up!!

[sarah-charade.livejournal.com]

lol I love how late I am on this. (not really!) But I was a huge, huge Dark Angel fan. I watched every episode RELIGIOUSLY when I was 14. I'm repeating some stuff, but hopefully also adding a few little tidbits! I just can't resist replying.

Logan was shot in the pilot episode. The bullet severed his spine, and it was basically the mechanism that brought Max and Eyes Only together. Since he couldn't save lives anymore, he convinced her to do it while he did the technical stuff and promised to find info on her "siblings". He was able to walk again when he and Max met this guy who thought he was a hero and stuff. He had invented an exoskeleton that let him jump and run as high and fast as a transgenic. They thought he might have been an X-5, but at the end of the episode, he gives Logan the exoskeleton.
There was a bit of blood transfusion and stuff from Max that let Logan walk without the exoskeleton, but it was only temporary. It didn't permanently fix the problem, or else they obviously would have done it sooner.

Logan does stay pretty much wimpy and annoying the whole series. =/ Someone else already mentioned the virus and the no touching thing. Max had other preoccupations in S2 anyway that it didn't really matter that much. The whole government finding out about transgenics and stuff, which was Logan's fault. In a desperate attempt to stop Manticore, he revealed their secret, which is when they all start coming together and letting Max and Alec lead the "Freak Nation".

I think Jensen's in pretty much all the eps of S2 except maybe a couple of them. I love his character, cause you're right, smart alecs FTW. Alec isn't nearly as awesome as Dean, but he's still pretty cool.

S2 is an incredibly infuriating cliffhanger. I've heard it was resolved in books, but I never got around to searching out those books. And the books apparently weren't written or created by James Cameron, so I wasn't too intent on finding them. I'm a really stick-to-canon kind of person on print merch. There was supposed to be a third season. Fox sucks.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Hey, wow! You DO know a lot about the series! Thanks! I didn't know how Max and Logan got together, so it's good to know that. I'm probably going to watch ep 7 tonight (S2). I do so like the scenery!! haha.
