Thanks X5-442!
We will need all the help we can get! It is obvious to me that you and Jeiara-the-wizard know A LOT more about computers than me! When the time comes to send the "Eyes-Only email hack" will you and Jeiara be able to write "how to" instuctions for the people like me?
Also, on a side note...
I heard from 3 different people via email this week all who read my letter on "Showdown.net" and want to help Save Dark Angel. I emailed them each back with a link to this site inviting them to join up here. Our merry band of DA fans continues to grow!
REMEMBER, if any of us are feeling down and feeling like we are being ignored and defeated - THERE IS a very large and very worldwide movement here to save DA. (To coin a phrase: "We are not alone!")
On a side side note:
I got a second letter from from General Mills on 12/4/02. Basically this was a form letter - but the last sentence reads: "The information you provided will be carefully reviewed with other members of the product team." Signed by: Amy R. Newhouse I sent them my "thank you letter" that compares DA's ratings vs FF's ratings. Even though this was a form letter, it still means SOMEBODY had to have read it! Our voices will be heard. We just have to hang in there!

It's so amazing that there are such dedicated fans out there. DA fans are the best! If there's anything I can do, please let me know.
The only problem I have is that you guys are so adamant about Max getting back with Logan and no virus, familiars, or nomolies. I have to disagree, I think S2 was fine, and if we get a S3 I'll be happy we even got it and won't care what it is. M/L or otherwise. Let JC and CE do what they want with the show, afterall it is their creation.

Agreed. I think the virus was JC's way of trying to keep the relationship going. In S1 the problem was Max being scared of getting close to people. In S2 it was the virus. Anyways, I wouldn't change S2 even if I could. Just my thougts.

Hello all! Ive been keeping an eye on this forum for a long time now without getting involved. First I wanna say that it is great to see the support that DA is still getting. The truth is that I live in Australia and haven't even seen the conclusion to the S2 yet. Nonetheless I was devastated when I heard that there would not be a S3.
Having read so many of the posts here lately and checking out all info on the save DA campaign I can't help but wonder "have any shows actually been cancelled then to return to production due to fan support?" Not that I think this is hopeless or anything but its a question that keeps on coming to mind.
Also referring to the lastest posts concerning the differences between S1 and S2, maybe this is just me but S2 is not nearly as magical as the first season. Not that I dont like it but the episodes that I enjoy the most in S2 are those that follow the style established in S1. That is those concerning Max and Logan's relationship and the other "long term" issues rather than the much less entertaining episodes concerning the issues of a single transgenic. (Although I found "Brainiac" quite entertaining)
Anyway thats just my thoughts. And its good to be part of the community now.

I believe that Star Trek was brought back by fans requesting it; I am not so sure but believe that both X-Files and Farscape were kept on or renewed because of fan support.
Any others, people?

"Felicity", I think, as well as "Once And Again." I almost forgot to add "Roswell." I remember "Roswell' fans sent in a lot of tobassco sauce and "Roswell" was renewed for another season.

But anyways, I was just thinking about another reason why DA should be back on air. It represents people with disabilities. Logan is in a wheelchair, and the whole X-5 series are plagued with seizures. Since I have seizures I can relate, and it makes me feel like it's ok...I can't explain what I'm thinking but having a show that represented how people with seizures act just allowed me to think that maybe people wouldn't quite view me as weird if I told them I had them. Any one have other reasons? "Dark Angel's" diversity. Here are the examples I thought of so far. Jessica Alba being Latina with a multi-ethnic background and being the star of "Dark Angel". Original Cindy being an African American female and a lesbian, Lydecker who was an alcoholic and Max's search for her siblings. Logan's fight against a corrupt government.

definitely-it was so diversely rich and structured-it was the only show that i really looked forward to that shone like a pearl in a pile of sand. it sucks that bc of network control/bad executive decisions/bad time slots/etc. led to its demise hopefully with a little help it will be brought back rightfully to the small screen/big screen. i havent mentioned how much i hate gail berman and fox lately so here it is ...sigh

You guys are right, I forgot about the cultural and ethnic diversity. There was a character for everyone on the show. I must admit I was skeptical about S2 being good because of the nomalies, but I learned to like them and their abilities. It just added to the diversity of characters and made the plot more complex because on top of the virus, Max had to make sure the nomalies were safe.

u'd think that with a show that breaks so many boundaries in television programming that it would still be on the air...why get caught up into a show if all these big wigs care about is making more $$$-then they rip it away form us. Now what do we have...a lot of Police, MD, Lawyer, "All-American" type oriented shows...i think DA represented that ideal better than anything really out there now.---

now guys, don't forget one of the biggest topics of all!
Genetic Engineering!!!!! One of the most argued and debated topics now! With cloning becoming a reality, this issues will only get more and more important!
The idea of the government covering up such a project is fascinating and quite relevent to current events.

u guys do realise that u cant just do one channel u gotta do a real hack so the execs see it, u gotta get all the channels at the same time so no matter what channel they turn to it will be on. the thing that logan did isnt to far off the truth it can be done.
this could be tricky u would need a satilitte linkup and the IP addys of the satilittes passwords wont be a problem, note- this can all be done from a computer. after that your sweet just record the hack u want to play u need to record live footage of the eyes only hack from a DA ep,(this coulkd be difficult considering all the shots they have for one hack, in other words its not just one shot of the hack) erase the sound NOT b4 recording it onto the computer and then record your voice over the footage, after this synthisize your voice to sound like logans, after that burn it on a disc and then play it.
its easier than it sounds.
to accomplish this u only need one thing.
A Computer Hacker or 2
u get the IP addresses of the satilittes by hacking into the stations EG- nbc,abc,FOX and other stations. the only problem is getting a source for the satilittes. this can be done.
and its also free.
u can do this from anywhere in the world it doesnt have to be from USA.
just record what u want to record or get experienced ppl to do it.
