HOMYGOD

[sweetprince]

All of you Dark Angel fans, do you remember Charles H. Eglee? The other series creator of Dark Angel? He's lecturing to my modes of production class! Like right now! I'm actually not reading porn in the class, for once. All I want to do is pepper him with questions like WHERE DID YOU ANTICIPATE DARK ANGEL GOING? WHAT HAPPENED TO LYDECKER? And also, what was Jensen Ackles like on set?



ETA: He's talking about working on The Shield and he's like, "When the shield wants drug addicts, they get drug addicts, none of this casting drug addicts."

ETA2: OHMYGOD! Dark Angel was cancelled, according to him, because the head of the Network thought it was too black and not because of ratings! He wanted Max and Alec to get together, which was not Eglee's or Cameron's intent, and he wanted it to be a MoTW show like Buffy!

AAAAAAAAAAAH

ETA3: This seems to be a source of confusion, so, to clarify, by black Eglee meant African-American. Yes, the network exec really was that heinous.

SOMEONE SHOULD ASK, "WHAT WAS JENSEN LIKE UP-CLOSE? WAS IT LIKE STARING INTO THE SUN?" These are the hard-hitting issues we should be learning about! #gigglesnorts#

I heard that about Dark Angel. Something about the post-apocalyptic theme being too dark and too much in that post-9/11 time. Which I think is bullcrap. *still sad about its cancellation*

No, not black as in dark, black as in AFRICAN-AMERICAN! It's horrifying and CRAZY!

Yes, "I MUST KNOW ABOUT JENSEN ACKLES OR I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FILM THE FIVE MINUTE SHORT I HAVE TO DO ON TUESDAY!"

And now I will add as a result of your eta's that the network exec was an idiot.

Stupid person, just goes to show how fickle networks are. I'm slightly confused as to how it could be too black, there seemed to be really Max and O.C, that i recall.

Not character-wise, but like lingo and music and dress style..also there was Herbal first season. But it's not like Dark Angel was reading like Shaft anyway, and if it was, SO WHAT, WE LIKED IT!
