DVD Reviews of Dark Angel Season 2 [dvd] Eng Dol Sur/french Dol/span Dol/1.33:1
DVD Review: Don't believe the hype stands well with season 1
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a last season (only 2 seasons) of a show that should have lasted longer..This season at the time got a bad wrap all the way around..I was kinda weary of buying this coz of all the bad wrap..But the 1st season was so great and so groundbreaking that i FINALLY gave in a week ago and bought this..And after i have watched everything on it i proclaim unto all of you the bad wrap around this season 2 of Dark Angel is not justified..This is a season that some episodes may even be better then the 1st season..And all other episodes are equal or close to the greatness of the first season..Its exciting and action packed as the first season..It holds your interest from start to finish..As every episode ties together very well to keep you into the storyline..One thing that gave this season 2 a bad wrap is that the show was a victim of 9/11..Coz it was said it had to somewhat sugar coat the show coz of aftermath of 9/11..9/11 was truly a tragedic day in our Country..And this show has such subject matter as our cast battling against terrorists as well as in one episode "Radar Love" terrorists run by our own government plotting to spread a deadly virus by bioterrorism..This aired at the same time of the Anthrax scare..The first episode premired just 17 days (Sept 28 2001) after the horror of 9/11..Dark Angel Season 2 alongside with the first after 9/11 episode of Saturday Night Live it was just what our Country needed..If this is taming down one has to think what they originally had planned blown our minds away at the thought..This season gave us esxape..Just think without this season we would still be in a threat of tamer shows..If we can't take make believe stories how could we have ever faced the horrors of reality..This season if you asked me performed a great service to our Country..God Bless America... This dvd also features some cool behind the scenes featurettes..But the Blooper reel is not as well put together as the first season's was..This blooper reel is badly put together and very hard to follow..Therefore making it not funny at all..But that is the only downside to this remarkable dvd set..It is packaged well with a sexy cover of our Dark Angel "Max" played by the Magically Beautiful Jessica Alba..The packaging beats the packaging of the first one..I always felt the first one could have been packaged better..I also have to note this season has a great new character addition..That is of the Manicore Mutant known as "Joshua"..He is half dog half man..And harks back to great sci fi characters of the past..The actor that plays him is very talented and that makeup you would never even recognize him..His character is kind and shows the fact not to judge people on their looks..The ol don't judge a book by its cover..A true lesson for our day and age..A lesson to be learned by all races all genders and all religions..Joshua as well as other mutants kinda adds a X-Men feel to this season..This season is very much like the X-Men..It is like Dark Angel Meets The X-Men..Joshua has a feel of "Nightcrawler" vibe from X2..(Xmen Reunited)..There are also some elements to Buffy and Xfiles in this season as well..Another fine addition to the show is the character of "Alec"..He is named Alec by Max coz he is a total "smart~alec"..And that he is..He is a wise ass wise cracking character that you really don't know whether can trust him or not..And what comes from it is a powerful character mostly when he is teamed up with Alba..
There is between them a chemistry great timing of one liners insults and that sort of thing..
Highlights in Season 2 Dark Angel are the first episode "Designate This" in which the cliffhanger that ended off the first season is concluded..In matter of fact all that is on disc 1 is highlights..Other ones are "BOO" an Halloween episode that harks to the loony comedy of "Buffy" and the movie "Army of Darkness"..Its silly and fun the ending will suprise you too..Halloween fun.."TWO" which is where Joshua is accused of some very grosume murders..But he is innocent of course..But who did it?? Have to watch to see.."Some assembly required" is a reunion of Max and someone *not saying who so not to ruin the suprise*..This episode contains a gang of cyber punks called "steelheads"..Their leader is a combination of Spike from Buffy & Johnny Rotton of the Sex Pistols and Pinhead of the HeLLraiser movies..They are english wise cracking punks and result is fun villians.."Gill Girl" this one may be the best episode of the season features a hot Mermaid girl and her Merman lover..The ending is magically mystically beautifully filmed.."Brainiac" is an episode that is very memorable with a very good performance by a heavy actor that makes a good addition to the show..Watch for the FUNNY scene where he is on a motorcycle with Max (Alba) i think i speak for every man that i can't blame him..The ending will really hit the viewer hard "Berrisford Agenda" that episode has also the same kind of ending as the previous..And concerns Alec's past love as he is being haunted by her memory..You see a different side of Alec that is not shown very much..The actress that plays his past love is stunningly beautiful and a very talented actress shines in this guest star apperance.."Harbor Lights" Max gets shot trying to protect a little boy..And in the hospital she is held prisoner by the government for the virus that was implanted in her by Manticore to keep Her and Logan apart is detected..Can they get Max out of there before they discover who and what she is?? "Love In Vein" is more like an episode of Buffy then Dark Angel..As Max battles a gang of Vampire Wanna Be's..Headed by a Manicore Vampire making his gang of followers drink from his genitically enhanced blood..The way that he makes them drink of his blood is done in a complete original way never seen of any vampire on film / tv before..A brilliant idea of the writters to come up with that one Bonus Points.."Fuhgeddaboudit" (pronouced "forget about it") is one of the best episodes here..Featuring an actress (don't know her name but she puts me in mind of Christina Ricci) who is by far one of the sexiest guest star apperances i have seen in recent years..
She will totally blow you away..She is also a Manticore Creation that has the power to make people forget things..Another one that has an X-Men feeling to it..Personally one look into her eyes would have power on me and forgetting isn't one of them..Don't miss this episode and this magical performance by this mystery actress.."Hello,Goodbye" in which i can subtitle as "Love Sucks"..It involves Joshua befriending and falling for a blind girl..As well as something coming to a head in the relationship of Max and Logan..A song comes to mind for this episode the song is ~If You Love Someone Set Them Free~ By Sting..These highlights mentioned covers the first 5 discs in the set..I won't write about any on the 6th *final* disc..Coz want to be sure not to give ending away..All i will say in that realm is that there should be more to the story..Maybe Fox will give them a chance to do a movie or something to finish it up..A finish that this show the stars and the fans all deserve...
And i must stress don't watch this season til you have seen the first season..Coz if this is viewed first you will be totally lost..Mostly with the cliffhanger that ended off the first season it is continued in true cliffhanger climax form in the first episode of this season 2 of Dark Angel..
I can't write this without exspressing the greatness and beauty of Jessica Alba..She is truly beautiful and very talented actress and again in this season she shines through and through every step of the way..And there is no girl on tv and/or movies today that can wear leather as well as tight blue jeans like she can..HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!
So when it comes to this season don't believe the hype..Watch it and i am sure you will agree that this season stands well side by side with first season at times beating it.. You also get in this season delivery of wild & funny one liners..Though not as heavy with it then the first season..But Alba is a great one liner..One liners harken to that one would hear on BuFFy..It would have been great to see Alba's Max team up with the scoobies on BuFFy..There are a few low points but are few & almost un-noticeable..Give it a chance you will be more then satisfied..What a show and What a star Jessica Alba as we say "Don't call Jessica Alba ~Pocahontas~ Call Her "Pocahottie"..
Description of Dark Angel Season 2 [dvd] Eng Dol Sur/french Dol/span Dol/1.33:1
The second and last season of Dark Angel, the inventive James Cameron show about mutants during a future Depression, has some real strengths as well as one or two bad ideas that partly explain its much-regretted cancellation. Among the strengths are Alec (Jensen Ackles), the thoroughly unreliable mutant charmer whose flirtations with heroine Max (Jessica Alba) complicate her doomed love for Logan (Michael Weatherly), the crippled newshound whom she cannot now even touch--she has been infected with a deadly virus tailored specifically to kill him. The distrust this sows between the doomed couple does not always avoid soap-opera clichés, but often produces fine performances from all three, especially Alba.On the deficit side, John Savage's memorably ambiguous villain Lydeker from season 1 (who is alternately the mutants' nemesis and their protector) disappears to be replaced by the melodramatically sinister Agent White (Martin Cummins). White appears to be just a shoot-to-kill operative of the state and turns out to be another sort of superhuman, a product of an occultist breeding program going back to the dawn of history. After White's first ruthless killing, Max's reluctance to use deadly force is tested to near-implausible limits. The show ends with a rousing and moving finale, "Freak Nation", in which a theme often neglected in this final year--Max's relationship with her fellow couriers at Jam Pony--reaches a powerful climax. --Roz Kaveney
