butterfly: (One and Only -- Original Cindy)
[personal profile] butterfly

Have seen the next two episodes. Am tentatively a Max/Logan shipper, because they have adorable conversations. And, Logan, honey, if you're going to keep sighing in longing every time you see a picture of Max, people will continue to ping really quickly that you have a thing for her.

Original Cindy and Max continue to be adorable and utterly kick-ass friends. I hope that part of the show never changes. I've now met Zach. Hmm. Not really my type, but I can see how people would find him attractive. Way too military, though, with his orders and staying on the move and killing threats and suchlike. Still, he obviously cares about the others, just as Max does, he just isn't good at expressing it. And he made an amusingly bad bike messenger boy.

Glad that Herbal got his job back (David! Alimi! Cute!). Sketch is... appropriately named, because he does keep doing sketchy, dumb things. I'm finding the Jam Pony plots as interesting as the Eyes Only ones, which is good. I'm... hmm, still thinking about the way the female characters' sexual natures are treated. I want to give the show more episodes before I give an opinion on it, though.

I don't know if you knew this or not, but Jessica Alba and the guy who played Logan became involved off-screen; the producers didn't really like this.

Ha! Had no clue. So, did they disapprove because they didn't want Max/Logan to ping so strongly or because they're of the school that believes having sex off-set ruins on-screen chemistry?

IRC, the story wasn't supposed to be Max/Logan OTP!canon!ship! ;-) -- they were supposed to be *friends*, sort of. TPTB actually went so far as to force the actors to not touch on screen because apparently they couldn't stop touching each other. I seem to recall also that part of it was that Jessica was 19 at the time the show started. http://www.imdb.com/news/wenn/2001-10-16#celeb3 (note, spoilers for second season in article)

I'm so glad I didn't know this when I was watching the show! I started off being a fan of Max/Logan OTP but then decided I liked Zach better (can't remember if I shipped him with Max or not but I know that my love for the 'OTP' relationship was sidelined because of this intriguing new character!)

But! With the kissing and the dancing in visions and the giving of blood! It's hard to see how this was supposed to be a 'friendship' thing.

I'm confused!

Trust me when I say: You do not what to get into the behind the scenes stuff. A lot of the so-called shipwars in the fandom were actually about the RL ship b/t Alba and Weatherly, and the effect that had on the writing and production of the show. I can try and give you the cliffs notes version for future reference if you really want... but it's best just to run far, far away from any discussion like that in the general fandom.

I... have checked a couple of things out and find myself in a state of horrified fascination. Not entirely sure what to believe or if I should bother believing or disbelieving any of it, as it's been over and done with for ages now.

"...horrified fascination"

Yes, God, it was like watching a train wreck. But I still say Who fandom has a higher percentage of crazy people, given that the DA fen at the time were made up priamrily of teenagers, and Who fen seem to be primarily adults who IMO should know better. Aaand...I need to stop thinking about this before my head goes 'splody again. *le sigh*

I believe you! Oh, do I believe you. Who fandom is just freaking nuts.

You're making me want to watch Dark Angel right now, and this is not good, because I have a Stargate SG-1 fanfic to finish editing and two episodes of Doctor Who to watch and a Firefly fic to html.

Hee. Sorry! It's a fun show. I'm kinda itching to see more of it, but my roommate is off doing something else and I've been watching it with her.

I'm completely fangirling over the fact that one of my favorite vidders is liking another show I love. It will take great restraint not to beg.

Hee! The odds are... very good that I will vid this show -- it features interesting locations, extremely pretty people, and some very neat shots.

Now you really make me want to watch Dark Angel again. It was on my list anyway, but I was going to wait until I had finished my (hmm, third?) run of season 2 of NCIS. Which should be sometime next week, if work allows.

And yes, Original Cindy and Max are adorable. And Jessica Alba is so so pretty. I'm completely in love with her.

Have you seen her in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer yet? I can't wait for that to come out on DVD. There will be icons. And wallpapers.

No, I haven't seen that one yet! I didn't really like the first Fantastic Fourr movie too much, but Jessica was very pretty. There should definitely be icons and wallpapers. :-)

I think the Fantastic Four movies are catering to squeeing comic book fans a tad, but being a squeeing comic book fan myself, I liked the first one and absolutely LOVED the second one. But hey, my favorite actress playing one of my all-time favorite characters, plus all the pretty special effects . . . yeah, I'm not going to be able to see Harry Potter today, because if I drive to the theatre my willpower will fail and I'll see Fantastic Four again.

And there will be icons. And wallpapers. Possibly a vid. Maybe some fic . . .

Jessica Alba is very, very pretty in this show. I'm sad that she dyes her hair now -- she looks better as a brunette.

Yep, I like her better as a brunette, too, but she is still pretty when she is blond.

Aww. You're halfway to season two already!

Never having been involved in DA fandom - it's always just been a personal love rather than something I discussed online with more rabid people - I don't have anything to say about whatever online warfare went on among the shippers, although I can imagine what that was like! I just know what I loved about the show, which has always been the characters, and the various dynamics that exist between them.

Hope you continue to enjoy the show!

The characters are definitely complete love. I'm really enjoying the way everything's happening between all of them. Lots of love for the show.

You may well rebuild a fandom from scratch! Because you share the love, and you're awesome. :D
