Three episodes in so far. This show's working for me about 70/30 -- most of the 70 being on the concepts (I'm a sucker for a good post-apocalypse) and Michael Weatherly's lived-in performance as Logan Cale. Jessica Alba is sometimes flat, but sometimes she gets a real spark of charm that smooths over those bits quite nicely. The whole angle with Manticore is already wearing thin -- the hapless pursuer trope has been done better and John Savage is way too much of a dick for me to buy.

I was at Target the other day and I saw one of those OMG bargains -- a two-pack of Dark Angel: Season 1 and Dark Shadows: The Revival for only 17 bucks. I really bought it just for the Dark Shadows. I vaguely remember watching it when it first aired, although the most concrete memory I can pull is being amused that a guy named "Ben Cross" played a vampire. Anyway, I recently discovered that Barbara Freakin' Steele, Asa Vajda herself, was a regular. So, yeah, had to have.

But I'm also looking forward to Dark Angel. I've never seen it, but I hear good things.

During the same trip, I also picked up Diary of the Dead, because much as that film was made of massive fail, I really do need to have the complete Romero Zombies collection.
