Getting There

[moonshayde]

I've been really stressed, so I've found myself throwing myself into TV as an escape.

I'm in season two of Dark Angel now and...yeah. Way different. I'm not sure what I think. I like the characters a lot. I like the ideas and concept. Something is missing though. I can't quite put my finger on it.

But just finished "The Berrisford Agenda." Whoa.

"The Berrisford Agenda" is one of my all-time favorite Dark Angel episodes!

Season Two, yeah. It's almost like watching a different series in my humble opinion. I remember not liking it that much when it first aired because I was expecting to see I had left last season and got something else entirely. Although, in retrospect, the characters are very enoyable--Alec is awesome, love him, and so is Joshua.

It was like watching a bad sequel or something LOL

I did really like The Berrisford Agenda. Probably one of the best episodes of the series. I am biased as a Jensen fan, but it was outstanding.

Alec and Joshua highlight the season for me. They were well written and well acted. What irks me - and you'll see me rant about it a little later - is that season 2 had so much potential to dive deeper into the whole genetics thing and they just totally went the wrong way with it, imo. Instead of it being military scifi like it was in season 1, with plausible possibilities, it jumped out of the realistic sphere and made it very campy scifi. I'll watch campy stuff without a problem, but it's not initially what I signed up for in the first place.
