Dark Angel: Oh! The Ship!

[butterfly]

Spent most of today watching tv (friends came over and we rewatched eps 1-4. Just as good the second time around!) and then reading stuff online and have had no time to respond to anything. But! I should have a few free hours tomorrow and then I will finally get a chance to reply to comments.

So, I've now seen through Red and I am totally shipping Max/Logan, hardcore. They're so... adorable. They have this intensely sweet dance of attraction going on that I find very appealing. I love the other characters so much, too! I loved Normal realizing that he didn't care if his lady-love used to be a guy, love pretty much every single thing that Original Cindy says or does (More Original Cindy would be the only thing that could make the show better). I love Zach, over-militarized as he is. I love the other people in Max's life -- Kendra, Sketch, Herbal -- who make everything in the show feel richer. I love Bling! He's such a good friend to Logan.

And Max and Logan are just the right mix of sweet and hesitant. I love that they're making this progression feel real. She kissed him! So cute! And then they both try to back away from that but... oh, in Blah Blah Woof Woof, she just had a feeling that something was wrong (and she noticed that he wasn't looking well) and then she hooked herself up to him and gave him her blood and they seemed to have shared a vision of dancing together.

*waves hands helplessly*

How am I supposed to not ship that? How can I avoid shipping such an absolutely adorable and devoted set of characters? Adorable! And they keep making each other smile (I love their smiles!). And then she wanted to cook for him (because he cooks for her all the time! she wants to return the favor and invite him to her place for once) and he panicked because he has silly issues (okay, his issues are not at all silly, but he is if he thinks they matter to Max, because she clearly *hearts* him... but I do understand why he has the issues, I do) and then avoids like anything, but then he's in trouble and she sees the bad that's going down and she's so there for him, saving him when he needs it. And then he reaches out and so does she and... oh, so cute. And they both realize the importance of what the other person was caring about, at the beginning of the episode.
