dangermousie | Dark Angel: Max/Logan vids

If you've friended me for more than a month or so, you probably know that Max/Logan from Dark Angel is one of my Top 5 TV ships (the other four are John/Aeryn of Farscape, Mal/Inara of Firefly, Buffy/Angel of Buffy and Max/Liz of Roswell. And Helo/Sharon of BSG get the honorary 6th spot). As you can tell, I like my ships canonical and very angsty. Basically, they hit every kink of mine. I even wrote fic and bought the authorized novels just because they finish out the story and M/L end up together. Yeah. Am a geek (am still working my way through fan season 3 script thingy, too). I mean! Hot people! Angst! No touching! Revolutionaries and wheel chairs! Mutual rescuing and burning stares and his kissing her even though he will probably die from it and just...guuuuh. Everything. After I finish Farscape, it's Dark Angel rewatch (I discovered it last year and posted about it much too much, but whatever).

It's one of the rare OTPs that made me cry. Forget cry, made me bawl.

Anyway, without much ado, since youtube is my new obsession,

This one is made by

My Zack love threatens my Alec love...I recall actually ranting that nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooo, Max wasn't worth that(and I adore Max)

Asha...they didn't handle her that well at first, but they did later. I think she could have kept Alec in line, but not castrated him or anything(which I think pairing him with Max would have done, if they'd ever gone that route)

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.

Oh yes, Zack was so wonderfully, obsessively screwed up and devoted...actually, my current obsession, Yum Moon in "Emperor of the Sea"(I shouldn't love the other man/villain to the point where the hero, much as I like him, is an afterthought) is like him, in a way.

And yeah, Max/Alec were completely brother/sister and that's how the 2 JAs played them, but I had a feeling TPTB were thinking about actually doing a bit of a triangle.

Apparently NBC (or is it Fox? I am blanking on which channel it was on) wanted M/A (not sure as an OTP or a part of a triangle) and Cameron et al wanted M/L. Cameron had his way, and then it got cancelled to make way for Firefly. The official books are M/L all the way :P (They aren't well written but an obsessive like me bought them and read them).

I do think they were going at least in the direction of Logan assuming M/A. I rememeber Max lying to him that she was with Alec (OMG! The angst! That OTP had more angst than almost any other except John/Aeryn and possibly Max/Liz and Buffy/Angel.)

Gosh, Alec was so not Max's type. He was sort of like a younger irresponsible version of Max. I could in other circs see her with Zack but not Alec. Alec? I think Max was too controlling for him (it actually worked really well with Max and Logan because of the somewhat present age difference and their different strengths and backgrounds. They couldn't boss each other).

Zack was so wonderfully, obsessively screwed up and devoted

Guuuuh. The poor guy. He was just so all sorts of awesome. It's all that control and those incredibly strong emotions undreneath that he can't help but help? And all that nobility? GUUUUUUUH. I hope he found happiness but I found the end of that Zack S2 ep so bittersweet. Because he will live, but so much of what made him the person he was: the ncredible strength, the past, the leadership, the feelings (painful or not) are gone and he doesn't remember it. When he asks Max (looking a little lost) if he knows her? I just BAWLED.

It was Fox. Yeah, they were definately having Logan assume M/A...I loved how much Alec hated it and wanted to tell Logan, but knew he'd partly dug his own grave in that...and yes, what made Alec so great was that he was a worse version of S1 Max, and was able to constantly throw it in her face.

That ep...that ep almost killed me at the end. I'll never stop wondering if Zack would have eventually been "fixed" if the series had continued...given time and his sheer force of will, I suspect it would have happened eventually.

OMG yes. Logan looked like someone hit him when he 'learned' about MA. But yes, I loved Alec's reaction (interestingly, I loved Logan still not being able to stop loving Max, even after that, though I think when he would have found out it was a lie...look out!)

Re Zack: definitely agreed. If anyone could throw off the conditioning, it would be him.

Guuuh, DA had such fabulous characters...*weeps for nonexidtent third season* Though I guess it meant no more annoying Joshua so everything has an upside.
