Oh yes, Max wasn't worth it. I was screaming at the TV. And like you, I adore Max. She is actually one of my favorite TV heroines (together with Aeryn, early Buffy, Starbuck and Liz Parker. I guess I love tough or persistent scifi girls).
But OMG, Zack. You know, how I said Logan is a total fictional type of mine?He is: the idealist revolutionary, emotionally prickly, willing to die for what he believes in, intellectual? So yeah.
But OMG so is Zack. He is such another type of mine. The whole bit where he keeps telling them not to feel or get attached and it's all silly but of course, he is willing to go through hell and back to protect the escapees himself? OMG. And when he gets captured and torture and he imagines seeing Max? And how he makes himself forget everything but he couldn't forget her?
I just want to take him in and make him rest and stop being so responsible (overly responsible is such a type of mine).
And of course Zack in that S2 ep? This is one of the two DA eps that made me cry (the other is the Logan/Max touching ep). Because Manticore broke him so much, they took away his will, which is always something that was the core of him. I am a rabid Max/Logan shipper, but I confess in Max/Zack scenes I found myself that unusual-to-self creature, a multi-shipper.
In a way it's very dorama. This amazing guy in love with the girl who only sees him as a brother?
Re: Max/Alec. I read that Cameron et al were adamant Max/Logan were the OTP (bless them for it: I hate internal incosinstency a la Buffy. Since they set them up to be the OTP to end all OTPs earlier, it would have been insane to switch). I adored Alec but I got a younger brother/older sister vibe from them.
