I need more posts.... But they need to focus more on Max's being the special one and what that all means, and whats up with the Familiars and the comming and all that. Leave me in the Dark for too long and I'll stop caring... But thats the problem. Max and her specialness (BTW have I mentioned how I don't like that either. ..too Buffyish), Sandeman and the familiar plot with The Going, storylines are all tied together. Instead of dealing with all these loose strings, TPTB want to add, whose your daddy twist, long lost crazy siblings, clones (I hate the thought and so did not want them to go there) and human beings into the mix. That is what I mean by it is going off in so many different directions that it looks crazy and makes no sense. They need to simplify the storyline. Not because we are all dumb and can't follow, but because it makes sense to do so and it makes a storyline clean and neat with little continuity issues. As for now there is a growing list of hanging chads and I doubt any of it will be resolved this season. Example: You yourself said, why would they need all these physically strong soldiers if there is a whole genetic line full of Samuels. If they had just let Samuel kick Max's ass the old fashion way, there would be no Chad. They are trying to do too much and loosing people in the process. Not only that, but not one issue from S1 or S2 has been resolved except for the Reds(as resolved as it will ever get). Max's sibs- who the hell knows where they are even though we all care. Max's mom- They never came back or mentioned this in 2 years. Logan- Anything that has to do with him was obviously not important. Family, Eyes Only, wheelchair, etc. Deck- Well we all know what's up with that. ASV- No end in sight. TOW- Again, no end in sight. SWI- Mentioned it a few times and never went anywhere. So it is just hanging around in the growing abyss of discarded storylines. So you have all of this, plus the whole Mythology and I say they need to start resolving some of these. Not all, but some because they have way too many hanging storylines. When they bring new storylines, they need to close some (not all) of the old ones.

I have always been a M/L shipper. All the moments in the show. You know it sounds crazy but I get these vibes, these feelings of what is going to happen in shows, like Dark Angel. Ok it all started when I became a fan First night premirere October 3, 2000. Then the that year an award show I think it was the Kids Choice awards or something, I really can't remember which. So anyway, it had Michael Weatherly, and Jessica Alba as presenters in the show. And soo...I was like "Hey it would be cool that Logan and Max got together, on the show or in real life...and a year later it happened. Yeah sooo...Soon as it happened I clicked into the show right away. And I still love the show! ;D

Yes, there are way too many threads to this story.
Didn't the writers say they regret finishing so many X-5 and Manticore stories last year? Maybe they're reacting to that and leaving everything hanging this year.

Maybe they're reacting to that and leaving everything hanging this year. Yeah, that is what I have always heard. And I still don't buy it. Why? Because they did not haev to bring any new X5s on this season, but they could have at least told us what is up with the ones we already know. Poor Zack went from being in 7 episodes last season to only 1 this season. I guess he is still working on that farm in Iowa. The last we saw Brin, she was still brainwashed and refusing to leave Manticore. Well now that Manticore tried to burn everyone to a crisp is she still brainwashed? And what are Krit and Syl up too. They came on mysteriously and then had like 2 lines each and disappeared. Didn't even get to find out what they were like. Max hasn't even inquired about where they are or any of them for that matter. So you see, they could have had some episodes this season besides SAR, that dealt with the Gillette X5s while not introducing any more of Max's siblings. But they didn't.

I like to think that Syl and Krit are off somewhere with Deck, plotting. But I never thought much about Brin. She probably escaped. Has anyone seen Clockstoppers? One of the villains looks exactly like Brin. And the female star really reminds me of JMA.

kHaven't seen the movie but found this: [ I checked the cast list and Nicole Bilderback isn't on it but she sure does look like her. And the villain in the movie is played by Michael Biehn (otherwise of Terminator fame) - there's our DA connection! ;D

Okay, I'm going to gain myself a reputation for being DA knowledge deficient one of these days, but would someone please explain the whole Gillette/Seattle thing to me. I understand that the escape in 09 was from the Gillette facility, and that after that escape, Project Manticore "consolidated it's operations" to Seattle. Now what I don't get is what happened to the Gillette facility and how the Seattle facility is different from Gillette. Did the Seattle and Gillette facilities co-exist before 09 (which the word consolidate would seem to suggest)? In that case, do we know if there were even more facilities out there? alec, as Ben's "twin" is from Seattle, which makes some sense to me, but then why didn't we see more x5 twins while Max was in the Seattle facility? And how do Deck and Renfro fit into the whole situation? Deck is the prominent figure in all of Max's Gillette flashbacks, but did that all change when things were moved to Seattle? I've gone back to different transcripts, but I still can't get the whole picture, and I'm kind-of out of the loop since I didn't discover the online world of DA into really late in the game due to my dad's phobia of technology. Not even sure if this is the place to post the question, but Houston's comment got me thinking about it again, so if anyone can unconfuserate me, I'd be very gratefull.
