Dark Angel is awesome!

[starrylizard]

I have this mad desire to write Dark Angel fic. How awesome is this show? I totally forgot how much fun it is and the writers do some really nice stuff. Like at the end of S1 having Logan say the same thing as Max at beginning of the season - both of them sitting in the high place. Such lovely symmetry.

I really felt sorry for Ben and I'm totally into Alec so far in S2 - of course my cmplete love for Dean means that I automatically like them more than I should, but it really shows Jenson can act. Tinga was awesome. How very cool was her hair (though the kid that played her son was just annoying)? And the guy that played Grodin has already made two appearances as a bit part. Yay! I miss Grodin on SGA. :)

Question: The guy that plays Tinga's husband. I am totally sure he was the lead in a short-lived series where they followed this book (Like Da Vinci's (?) premonitions or something) and investigated paranormal things. Am I imagining this? Anyone know what the show was called? I'm sure I watched it on TV, but I can't for the life of me remember much about it.

It's such a pity Dark Angel didn't get renewed after season 2. I totally need a Dark Angel icon. :)

Oh also, what ever happened to Jessica Alba?

[/random of squee!]

I hope everyone is having a really nice Easter break! I bought chocolate hot cross buns today. Yum! Happy Easter break everyone!

Oh and that torrent finally finished dling. Finally! I was starting to think it would never finish.

Yay, DA love! It's so fun actorspotting in the show and I just darn love it all anyhow. I know a lot of fans disliked S2 but I liked it all, even bought the 3 books to get some closure on the story (which ironically makde me want to write a fic set after the books...) There was a console game too but apparently that was a bit meh overall, though somewhat fun for the fighting and having Jessica Alba voicing.

Who played Tinga's husband? I don't remember what he looked like nor what his name was characterwise so can't find him on IMdB.

Jessica Alba has been about since but I think most of her films haven't been too successful with exception to her role in Sin City and soon Sin City 2.

Oh I haven't seen SinCity yet. I didn't realise she was in that one. Cool!

I'll try to find the husband in the credits or take a screencap later. :)

First wave! The show was First Wave! Woo! foreverseenstar knew, I just had to scroll down my comments here. Yay!

That rings a bell - what's it about?

According to IMDB: Reformed thief Cade Foster discovers that aliens are among us in the form of genetic clones, intent on enslaving the population. To assess the human potential to fight back, they gather data from 117 test subjects. When Foster remembers the tests conducted on him, the aliens frame him for his wife's murder. Pursued by the police and a mysterious government agent, Foster discovers the quatrains of Nostradamus, which tells of three waves which will destroy the planet, unless a "twice blessed man" can stop them. Aided by a quirky cyber-journalist, Foster investigates strange occurrences which have ties to Nostradamus' quatrains, hoping to find what he needs to forestall the aliens' plans.

I honestly don't reemmebr most of that. I think you learnt as the main character did. Basically every week, as I recall, Cade was following Nostradamus' text and he'd track down weird goings-on. I guess the people he found were the test subjects. I don't really remember it that well, but I thought it was ok at the time.

this guy (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0817819/) Sebastian Spence, is the one who was on Dark Angel and was the lead guy in First Wave. :)

He was also a demon in Supernatural. The dude that Dean kills with the Colt to save Sam. I remember trying to figure out who he was then too.

And looks like he was even in a few episodes of Battlestar Galactica. Busy guy! :)

I think I remember the aliens and the being framed for murder part but forgot about nostradamus stuff LOL.

DaVinci's Inquest? That's the only DaVinci thing I can remember.

Jessica Alba was in Fantastic Four (And the sequel comes out this summer) and she's in this new serious movie with Hayden Christensen. I happen to LIKE Jessica Alba and It got cancelled because of Joss Whedon's Firefly (which then got cancelled)

There was a ton of drama behind the scenes. The guy who played Logan was engaged to Jessica Alba in RL and HATED Jensen Ackles/Alec (who was supposed to end up with Max) and yelled at the producers until they changed the storyline to make Alec a bad guy in the upcoming season three.

DaVinci's Inquest?
Nah, that was a cop show or something. Don't think that was it.

Oh I saw Fantatic Four. Totally forgot about that! :)

Oh the drama. I knew they were engaged, but it didn't last very long after the show got cancelled. Pity there wasn't a S3. :(

I haven't really watched a whole lot of "Dark Angel" so I'm not sure who Tinga's husband was, but the show you're describing kinda sounds like "First Wave" wherein Cade Foster investigated things based on Nostradamus's writings. I really enjoyed it when it was on Sci-Fi and was way angry when it got cancelled.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

THAT'S IT! First Wave! He was the dude from that show. The main dude! :)
They played it on our TV anf then it just disapeared so I assumed it was cancelled. :(

Thank you! I can stop wracking my brains now!

Awwwww. Baaaaby bunny so cute.

*points to icon* This one fitted in the palm of my hand when we first got him.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Aww, cute! I just figured I had to use my bunny icon at Easter. I've never actually owned one. :)
