The two seasons are indeed so different...Hey Arie,<br /><br />The two seasons are indeed so different and I've engaged in SO many discussions throughout the past decade comparing the two and which one was better. Season One is universally praised as the stronger one but I think season two has some amazing strengths (Alec is definitely one of them!) I can't wait to continue my rewatch and further discuss each episode in detail. I do love both seasons immensely. <br /><br />And yes you're right, the "heat" thing is only brought back in "Meow" and then never again. Too bad. <br /><br />And finally, I 100% agree about the dialogue. Dark Angel (unlike Buffy for example) never gets props for creating SUCH a distinct style that's so very different and fitting of James Cameron's world. Glad to know you appreciate it too and that you're enjoying my reviews. Thank you so much :) Nadimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09432781029841283198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-55203913233149250372013-04-21T10:44:11.154-04:002013-04-21T10:44:11.154-04:00It always bothered me that the "Max on heat&q...It always bothered me that the "Max on heat" thing was never really mentioned again in either season. She says in this episode it has her "climbing the walls three times a year" and yet nada for the next two years!<br /><br />I also liked her comment about how Logan was attractive even "given the givens." Dark Angel was always so creative with language and never seems to get the props Buffy and Veronica Mars do for clever dialogue. <br /><br />I've just finished the second season, so I'm enjoying reading your reviews: the tone between seasons is so different and I'll admit to being a season one girl, although I do love me some Joshua and Alec. :)arienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-4868366104559313922013-04-20T01:25:12.131-04:002013-04-20T01:25:12.131-04:00So true. That Vogelsang nail thing still haunts me...So true. That Vogelsang nail thing still haunts me today and we never even saw a single frame of the act! So effective.<br /><br />The chemistry IS phenomenal! It has a lot to do with the fact that Jessica Alba and Michael Weatherly were really falling in love during the course of the first season and I believe got engaged in between seasons :) I believe they lasted around 3 years after that. Max and Logan are probably still my all-time favorite shipping on any TV show!Nadimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09432781029841283198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-86624831646132569222013-04-19T20:56:05.304-04:002013-04-19T20:56:05.304-04:00Great follow-up to the pilot. Like you, I was ama...Great follow-up to the pilot. Like you, I was amazed that Max found Hannah so quickly. There is a lot going on there and I can't wait to see more of her.<br /><br />Having spent the morning reviewing new cable shows, I have to agree with your comment about the horror being greater in what is <i>not</i> shown. If this were being filmed today, we would have to endure three minutes of Vogelsang being tortured. For me, the implied threat is much creepier than anything that could be shown on the screen.<br /><br />The chemistry between Logan and Max is as electric as I have ever seen on a television screen. The sparks just fly -- even when they are just looking at each other. Is it possible to ship a couple you've just met?<br />ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.com
