Dark Alec

[erilyn]

I've been having a indulgently lazy morning watching Jensen Ackles be gorgeous.

What a shame that Dark Angel got axed at the end of season two - the latter part of it was the most interesting the show had ever been. I started off basically watching for Jensen, but really enjoyed the last few episodes. veronamay, I know you said they were crap, but do you have the tie-in novels?

Alec finding out more about Ben was good, and a bit more detail from Max's sister-clone adds to the angst of what happened to Alec after Ben and the others got away.

I was delighted that we saw Normal find out about the transgenics at Jam Pony in general, but his reaction to Alec was even more awesome. And he delivered the baby, and isn't a fuckwit anymore, awwwww.

But we didn't get to see Logan finding out that Max/Alec was a crock, so why were they holding hands at the end? At least we saw Alec find out ("I won't be the bad guy" - could I love him more? don't think so). Meanwhile, I liked the whole "group voting to make a stand and raising their flag" ending, cause I like corny stuff like that.

And if anyone knows of a story where Max and Logan want to have children but aren't fertile together, so they ask Alec to be the biological father, could you point me in that direction? Not that it's for me. A friend wants to read it. I'm not into those sort of wacky antics at all.

Actually, story recs in general would be much appreciated :)

Alec totally MAKES that show. Seriously. Max annoys the crap out of me, but Alec? More please.

There is a WOEFUL lack of good fic out there as far as I can tell, though. It is to weep. (Or perhaps sit around and watch the eps over and over until one is inspired to write it oneself. *ponders*)

I will cheerlead for any or all fic. Doesn't have to include wacky antics and a baby (errr....cause that was for a friend, of course).

OH! but there is a LOVELY little Alec-in-heat story veronamay posted recently:

(she should write more Alec fic.)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I did read that (I'm so glad she finished it, she'd been telling me a bit about it the day before, and I was dying to read it *g*). But maybe I'll read it again, hmmm....

I always rec this whenever someone ask for DA recs: And Still Hope-verse by alethialia, post-series, Max/Alec, Max/Logan past.

Oh and if you have the DA s2 DVD, you should definitely watch the commentary for the season finale. The writers basically talked about what they'd planned post s2 and how they had wanted to wrap up all the plots. I totally recommend it rather than reading the tie-in novels (I haven't read them myself, but I heard that the novels were based on what was said in the commentary.)

Many thanks for the rec! I don't have the dvds, but I know people who do :) plots

[lemmealone.livejournal.com]

Alas, Region 4 DVDs don't come with the commentary. :(

For Max/Alec you might want to try Valjean's fic, because she's written a lot and most of it is very readable. In fact, I might reread some myself...

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

This is gonna be the reverse of needing more Krycek fic leading to me reading slash. I've got no particular interest in Max/Alec, but for Alec I'll read it :)

[lemmealone.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's entirely it. I don't see Max/Alec either, but I'm shallow enough to see the incredible power of the pretty and if Alec's in it, I'm there.

Also, Valjean's fic is VERY Alec-centric. *g*

I remember being so close to giving up on Dark Angel when Alec appeared on the scene. Happy memories there. ;)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I had given up on it, it was nice to revisit the show :)

[veronamay.livejournal.com]

I have the tie-ins, yeah. I can lend them to you next time I see you, or if you want your own copies they're all available at Borders Hornsby. :)

Yay Alec!

Yay, thanks! :)
