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:

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!!!

(About the finale)
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.


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.

I don't really care about DA beyond the Jensen adorableness (never saw season 1, so I don't know the Max/Logan backstory, or really anything to do w/ Manticore beyond what we were shown in season 2), but dude, I feel SO BAD for Jensen for having to put up w/ that shit. No wonder he and Jared go out of their way to make THEIR set as fun and relaxed as humanly possible. And now I'm curious to know which set Jared was on that was like DA for Jensen, cause I seem to remember that he said they'd BOTH had experiences like that.

AND OMG SHUT UP W/ THOSE PICTURES!! What a cutie!! *squishes young Jensen* :D

If you ignore the whole "alec isnt inm s1" s1 is better than s2. Their fight scenes are fucking AWESOME and the transgenic enhancements are way more cooler (let me break out my linguistics courses here, yo) and not as cheap sifi. Also, the plot line kinda sorta works. Also, LYDECKER IS A HORRIBLE PERSON WHO CUTS OUT EYES WITH SPOONS and then you kinda sorta love him anyways by the end of s2. Or, more, you understand his motivations and can sorta want to hug him. Or something. But yeah, I don't know what happened but s2 kinda has some issues. I still love it. And while I wish we had an s3, if how much the show went down between s1 and s2 I am not sure I want to know how the fxs and how the plot would have looked. it might have been super scary.

Ha, yeah, same, I never watched S1 (except for Pollo Loco, EEEE) and really, I don't care to know it. And oh yes, definitely, after reading that I could completely understand why the boys go on and on about how awesome their set is and how friendly everyone is! I'm really happy it is that way for them. ♥
