I'm really disappointed by this decision I appreciate that many of the episodes have the same format .. new transgenic appears and needs help etc and Max and Alec wade in with a bit of Logan's help.

But the characters are all fantastic and I never tire of the episode throughout the hour and I've really grown to adore Joshua.

I would have thought that the series was really building up - not getting ready to fall - with the introduction of White and his band of merry cult.

It will be sad to see the series end and at this short notice I can only assume it will be left terribly in the air or it will be snapped shut with an abrupt ending

Whatever the outcome it wouldn't be satisfying

i watched dark angel for about 1/2 of the first season, and i have to say that i was never impressed at all.

Always found it very very boring, and i am not surprised that it has been cancelled in the slightest. I can see why people like it, maybe i didn't give it enough time. It seemed onto such a winner as well being created by james cameron...

Hmmm did'nt see this coming at all. It is disappointing in a way as the show was fun science fiction. It was'nt the greatest ,but it had it's own little niche i guess.

the firsts eason was better than the 2nd but still cancelled???
i hope they resolve some stuff in the last few episodes than..espicailly the LOgan/Max storyline...however if they didn't think that they'd be cancelled there'd really be no reason for that to happen..

i'm gonna miss it

I've not seen a single episode of this show. As far as I understand it Jessica Alba played a renegade, genetically modified super-soldier who just happened to look like a super-model?

Anyone want to fill in some more details for me?

I must say though, I wasn't even tempted to go make the effort to watch, if it gets shown at Sanctuary, for example I'll probably watch, otherwise I'm afraid this one if headed for oblivion in my eyes as well.

Actually after thinking about it today, i like season 2 too...we got Joshua and Alec this season who are both great...and some pretty good storylines too.:d

I'm gutted at this. Watched from the very first episode and i thought it was a great show. As Peg has said the story arc is pretty non-existant but Buffy's series one story arc isn't that great either. It's a shem this is getting cancelled and much like Dark Skies before it we'll probably never know what happened to Max and Co

OK people after chatting with various Admins from different sites and getting some info from those connected with Dark Angel, here is the dealio.

Jessica Alba and cast have been let go from their contracts. What this means is that there is no more Dark Angel the series. Furthermore, if I am not mistaking the sets will be be torn down Monday and the space is pretty much be ready to go to someone else. At this moment, James Cameron is not looking to another network, but instead hoping to be able to get FOX to air 3 two hour Dark Angel movies. So unless Cameron changes his mind any campaign to Sci Fi or UPN is futile. It is Fox Cameron wants to work with so it is Fox we have to convince. Therefore it is Fox we need to concentrate on. These movies could happen if a couple of things occur:

1. Since Jessica Alba is no longer legally obligated to FOX, she can choose to not reprise her role in DA. So in essence, we would need Jessica to want to do a movie. We think that if Jessica is a go, then the rest of the cast will fall in line.
2. One of the new programs in the Fall lineup would have to fail. Considering that most new shows fails, this might not actually be a problem.
3. If we want more DA, this is a long- term project. So the interest from us would have to be long term as well.

With that in mind, we have come up with a strategy aimed at getting Fox interested in the [b]movies .

The first step is creating a Save Dark Angel website where all DA fans can go to learn what they can do for the campaign. All addresses, postcards and emails will be placed on the new website as well as here. Once this is set up, we will ask that everyone spread the word about this site to every DA site out there. From message boards to fanfics to yahoo groups. Everywhere.

Secondly, since there is a chance Jessica may not be interested, we have to let her know that she has a very loyal fan base who would like to see her reprise her role in any future DA projects. One idea that we have in mind is a Variety ad thanking Jessica for her work on Dark Angel. I see that some have mentioned the Hollywood Reporter, so we could look into that. Hopefully we can get some publicity from this, which might pique Jessica?s interest. However, these ads will cost money. So as part of this campaign, we will have to do some serious fundraising. Variety ads can cost around $3000- $4000. Hollywood Reporter around $1000. So we will be asking you all to donate money for these ads. Furthermore, we will be asking fanfic writers and artist to come up with Ads in which we can submit to Variety. Stay tuned for more info on that as well as where and who to send funds too. The one thing we have is time. And I fully believe that with time and dedication we can raise the necessary funds.

Third, we must let Fox know that we support James Cameron in his quest for Dark Angel movies. This will be the focus of our postcards, letters and emails that we will ask you to flood Fox with. Hopefully when one of the new shows flop, we can draw Fox?s focus back onto Dark Angel again. I know that I myself will not be watching Firefly in protest. So if anyone cares to join me, then hey, the more the merrier. Now though it is important to keep letting Fox know we want more Dark Angel, if it comes down to donating money for the ad or spending the money on mailing letters or postcards, we ask that you donate the money to the ad. This is something that we will work on throughout the summer. Since Fox will be wrapped up into their new shows, they may not start looking at a possible DA movie until the fall. So priority is Ads and getting as much publicity for them, then Fox. Hopefully some of you will be like me and do both.

I think it is important to reiterate 2 things. Dark Angel the series is gone. Our only hope are Dark Angel movies sometime in the future. Second, this will be a long- term project. So do not expect anything to happen within the next few months. Maybe not for a year.

Until the new site is up, please check back to this site, DAS, DATV or Fan Forum or the Dark Angel Nation site for more info.

Spread the word and keep up with flooding Fox with calls, emails, postcards and letters until we get the Variety and Hollywood Reporter ads organized.

Well, its a shame, but Dark Angel was starting to lose its impact. I prefered the first season and personally thought it was a lot better. Lydecker was such a great enemy. Personally, I'm glad they've ended this before it gets stale.

Personally, I'm dead disappointed. There are not many programmes that I watch but this was one of the few.

Can I echo mmmmmm Logan and also add a mmmmmm Alec

The first series was great but the second just wasn't up to it, it just seemed so far fetched (yeah I know thats what sci-fi and fantasy shows are all about) and just generally unbelieveable! I'm glad it was cancelled before it became a TV joke because at least now everyone who watched it will remember season 1 as being great.
Knew I wasnt going to like season 2 as soon as I heard the intro credits! That was where it all started to go wrong...
