dammit!
Yarg. I knew going in that I wasn't going to like S2 of Dark Angel as much, but I watched the first ep anyway. And it made me grrrrr! They weren't kidding when they said they toned down the post-apocalyptic stuff since it was right after 9/11. Which I understand, but dammit, the post-apocalyptic feel was a huge part of why the show was so awesome, for me. ("There's a dead guy under there." "Yeah, we know, he's the foul line.") Also, someone needs to go back in time five years and feed Jessica Alba some cookies or something, and also re-curl her hair. And then it's all with a rehash of Buffy/Angel and the stupid curse, which was dumb the first time anyway, except apparently the writers were like "ooh, but that wasn't enough, let's up the ante and make it so they can't even be near each other! that'll be great!" Yeah not so much, actually.
Jensen Ackles had better be worth it, for serious. I've been promised that he can actually act and that I will stop thinking of him as Eric Brady. (Which, how can I stop thinking of him as Eric? Every time I look at him, I see him lecturing Sami over something. And how is it that he managed to get out of soaps and be a Real(ish) Actor while people just as good as him, or better, never make it? The world is an unfair place, truly.)
Clearly, this is all the fault of those damn Harry Potter plagiarists. I mean, all their shit was going down around the same time as this, right?
