Oh my goodness. I both love and hate the finale for Dark Angel. Okay, so that's not true. Mostly I love. But there are these THINGS. Like, ew, condom-hands Logan feeling up Max. That is never okay. I don't think I can possibly roll my eyes harder or hit the fast forward button fast enough every single time Logan and Max have an AAAAANGST session together. And, okay, LOGAN IN GENERAL. I cannot like the man, mostly because I'm tainted with the dislike of Michael Weatherly The Douchebox (yes, that's his full title), as per this gossip article at TWOP. FOR EXAMPLE:

(About the finale)
Okay, so I take with a teeeeeeny tiny grain of salt, but still. I MEAN, THAT LINE, IN THE SWAT VEHICLE AS THEY'RE DRIVING AWAY. "Dur hur, looks like that chick was beating your ass, Alec! I saved you! MAX DID YOU HEAR ME I SAVED ALEC WITH MY ROBO-LEGS BECAUSE I'M AWESOME." I wish Jensen would have rolled his eyes. That would have been awesome.
BUT can I just profess my undying love for Normal and Sketchy? There needs to be a spin-off called "Normal and Sketchy's Wacky Times at Jam Pony" guest starring Alec and his dumb antic every now and again. IT WOULD BE MY FAVORITE SHOW EVER, OKAY.
And oh my God, you guys, Aleeeeccc. I know, I know, I never shut up about it, but omg how can I love a character this much. I mean, there's Dean, and, you know how I feel about HIM, but then there's Alec, who simultaneously makes me suddenly lose my panties AND makes me emit high pitched noises of UTTER GLEE AND ADORABLENESS AND OF DYING ON THE INSIDE.
I am totally not ashamed to say that I would have killed for a season three, IF ONLY to see Max and Alec eat each other's faces on occasion, because you KNOW they were headed in that direction. Actually, that's pretty much all I'd care about. And, OKAY, Terminal City, fine. But the Breeding Cult needs to go die in a fire. Fast forward button, HELLO, HOW ARE YOU.

Shut UP with your FACE and how YOUNG HE LOOKS and the hair around his ears and oh God.

And if this isn't the cutest damn scene ever, I don't know what is.

LIKE THAT MAX, OH GOD HOW CAN YOU WALK AWAY FROM THAT AND GO BACK TO DOUCHEBOX MCGEE. (LOLOL LEFT ARM, LEFT ARM.) ALSO, GUN-SLINGER JENSEN AND THE GUN IN HIS BELT LIKE THAT SHUT THE HELL UP ALREADY.

AHAHAHAHA and this because. HAHAHA. He looks like he's picking a wedgie and I'm five. :(
Sometimes I really hate myself for being so in love with this stupid show. SOMETIMES.
No matter why he was written out, Lydecker wasn't in the finale because Michael Weatherly fucked everything up. Weatherly wanted to run in a marathon, so filming had to accomodate his schedule. Thanks to Weatherly rearranging the filming schedule, it conflicted with John Savage's schedule, so we got no Lydecker in the finale.
AND
Michael Weatherly was a complete and total douchebag. He was seriously insecure about Jensen Ackles. He felt the fans liked Jensen and Alec more than him and Logan and Alec had more interesting things to do than Logan (and he wasn't really wrong there). He would count his lines in front of the whole cast and if Alec had more lines than Logan, he'd demand a rewrite. He also demanded a rewrite of a couple scenes, like pool scene in "Borrowed Time." Alec was supposed to win that one, but Weatherly pitched a bitch. Stuff like that.
AND!!!

Also, Cameron scrapped a bunch of Alec scenes/lines, which is never, ever okay. Oh, and if I recall correctly, he also added that part (at Weatherly's behest) about Logan saving Alec during the big fight scene at the end. Fucking ridiculous.

Date: 2008-07-17 11:52 pm (UTC)I like to think S3 in my mind, would have been good. They would have resolved that breeding cult bullshit real fast and then dealt with the war between the Normals and Transgenics, and Max and Logan would have got together (only because I kind of like Logan and I HATE Max and Alec is too good for her lol) and Alec would have stayed far away from Asha and made out with some really hot chicks and continued to be a bad ass on his motorcycle shooting guns and having beautiful hair.
In RL news, I kind of feel bad for Jensen. He got treated like shit on that set. Jessica Alba was a horrible bitch to him (she gives off that vibe - I don't think she's a nice person), Weatherly was a dick, and he had to deal with it all. And why - because he was too damn good and too damn pretty for that set. Everyone was jealous lol. And honestly, as far as acting talent and good looks go, Jensen >>>>> Al-bitch and Weatherly. I STILL don't know why Jessica Alba gets cast in so many movies; she's a shit actress and she's not as pretty as people make her out to be.

Date: 2008-07-19 12:13 am (UTC)I think so too! Did you read in that gossip article that I posted that basically had a lot of concepts that they were thinking about? The former one sounds SO AWESOME. Seriously, it sometimes depresses me that it ended where it did.
I HATE Max and Alec is too good for her lol
YES, AHAHA I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. That is EXACTLY what I thought when I first started watching the series, asking why the HELL anyone would ship Max/Alec. But then, you know, I started doing the "fannon" thing of finding a fic where Max had enough of a subtle personality change that she wasn't such a huge bitch and they became more friendly, or whatever. Because unless she DID happen to have a bit of a personality change in the next season, it would have killed me to see Alec be pussy whipped, or something, by her. Ugh ugh ugh no.
Oh man, Alba DEFINITELY gives off that vibe to me too. They said she threw tantrums on set, and I've heard of instances where she was all out racist against her own background (Latino) and yeah. I really really do feel bad for Jensen for going through all that crap. It's good to know that he didn't fall into that same vicious cycle. ♥
