GOING SOUTH - A little tale written March 23, 2002

[Aerie]

This was written by loyal Dark Angel fans one evening and posted at Dark Angel Spoilers. We had watched episode 2.16, Exposure, the previous night and were feeling pretty cranky. We all jumped in with our ideas.

This little blurb made us unpopular at that site and we had to flee, barely escaping with our lives. Dark Angel Reflections was opened the very next day, thanks to Star and The Blue Lady.

Who wants to jump in and help write a story about moving our favorite show out of Seattle. We could have a new kickass show and leave DA to the Freaks & Familiars. Then everyone would be happy.


Going South

Deck has been hiding near the farm in Idaho. He spies Zack. He is surprised by Zack’s lack of memory. He slowly begins to bring back Zack. Zack tries to kill Deck but at the last minute stops because he wants to know more about himself.

Deck is able to circumvent the “kill Logan programming” because he realizes how important an asset Logan is. Realizing that Seattle has become an asylum for idiots, he and Zack are able to talk Max and Logan into moving.

Joshua stays in Seattle with alec since he hates Deck. Hereafter they will be referred to as Heckle and Jeckle.

Bling drives his van down, loaded with Logan’s kitchen appliances and utensils. He’s sick of the rain in Seattle and looking for some adventure.

Syl and Krit decide to jump on their motorcycles and go along. They stop and pick up Zane on the way.

Oh! And they take all the sane viewers with them.

Their base of operations becomes Los Angeles.

When they get to LA they track down Jace.

Don’t forget Original Cindy. She’s sick of the Normal/alec love fest going on. So is Normal and he joins Sebastian, in his special equipped motor home, which Herbal decided to drive. Normal sits in the back seat and tells Herbal how to drive by shouting Bip! Bip! Bip! at least once an hour.

And they pick up a new addition, this young lady, whose name is Dawn. With whom Deck immediately falls in love.

Logan uses the old Fox Studios for his base of operation, because Fox went bankrupt in the early 2000’s because of the stupid decisions they made.

Max continues to kick ass, Zack is her sidekick, Logan is her love but they fight like cats and dogs.

Zack falls in love with Jondy. They found her working as a cat burglar (runs in the family.)

Bling falls in love with Jace and marries her and adopts little Max.

Original Cindy is not going to let anyone get away with anything or she will slap them upside the head.

So all of the Dark Angel fans had to head south to join the gang at Dark Angel Reflections at the old Fox Studios that Logan had fixed up to look like his old penthouse.

Logan finds an immunologist who solves the stem cell rejection problem and he's walking again. Gives him and Max more to fight about 'cause he keeps getting himself into trouble doing EO stuff on his own.

Max finds out her weird DNA results were a mistake - she isn't the Messiah after all just an ordinary transgenic girl.

White and the Familiars turn out to be a bunch of escaped delusional mental patients who are happy staying in Seattle and think they now rule the world.

Logan teaches Zack to prepare bruschetta, Deck to cook pasta, and Dawn to select fine wines

This delightful little story was not able to be continued because the next day it became forbidden to post the names of Logan Cale, Eyes Only and Michael Weatherly on Cher’s Dark Angel Spoiler site. The site name was changed to Die! Logan Die!

Luckily Star was prepared and we all landed here, but the story was lost.

Oh, Aerie, thank you for sharing! Such an interesting little tale! A bit of a history lesson for those of us not around then; some very funny bits and others, just a grim/sad/melancholy reminder of what they did to a perfectly fine show... (and how the shipper wars were really inexplicably vicious.)

And don't suppose you had anything to do with them deciding on LA, did you?

My favorites:

"Bling drives his van down, loaded with Logan’s kitchen appliances and utensils. He’s sick of the rain in Seattle and looking for some adventure." (and how many of us were looking for Bling in S2?)

"Normal sits in the back seat and tells Herbal how to drive by shouting Bip! Bip! Bip! at least once an hour." (dunno why but I giggle at this-- I can just see it. And more AWOL friends joining our heroes in LA! Yay!)

"White and the Familiars turn out to be a bunch of escaped delusional mental patients who are happy staying in Seattle and think they now rule the world." (like the idea, but I think it was TPTB who were the escaped delusional mental patients who thought they knew something about putting a TV show together...)

This was really something-- glad you were able to save it and you brought it back for us here.

It was so much fun at the time. All the peeps just jumped in with a sentence or two.

Hmmmmm trying to remember back to those days. What's funny is that I don't recall much fighting about the mutants . It was all about Logan vs. alec, then it devolved into personal attacks against the actors . and I can't believe you mentioned whatzername that bitch had the nerve to write derogatory comments about the love of my life . that's what was so perplexing to me then and now. How can someone like a TV show so much they start a website dedicated to it and then turn around and completely trash it's leading characters and the actors who play them?

As for the story above? not to be critical but I don't like Zack falling in love with Jondy. To me the X5's are brothers and sisters, there should be no hooking up.

And I would have moved them all to San Francisco, where the whole thing was originally set .

Love the story idea; my only quibble points would be that I wouldn't put Zack with Jondy and of course Bling would never leave Maria for anyone.
