1-17 Recap	Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! The Jose Malina Interview - Several months ago, a certain writer contacted Mighty Big TV in a thinly veiled attempt to suck up to the Dark Angel recappers and get us to play nice. A plan was put into action, and Lulu Bates compiled a series of questions designed to pique the interest of, inflame the passion of, and generally annoy the writer. It worked; he didn’t write back for two months. But then, after the writing of Dark Angel was skewered and left squirming on the pages of Mighty Big TV, a certain writer decided to attempt to placate the recappers by submitting to our interview. Well, that was awfully nice of him, but if he thinks this will spare him from ridicule and derision on the pages of the Dark Angel recaps, well, he doesn’t know who he’s dealing with.	2001.04.23 2001.04.22	B+	LuluBates

1-15 Recap	The hills are alive with the sound of yawning Haven - Max and Cap'n EO head out of town for a little rest, relaxation, and camp food, but they get sidetracked into graverobbing, murder, and small-town intrigue.

1-14 Recap	Female Trouble Female Trouble - An X5 named Jase is trying to kill Cap'n EO's doctor, but Max manages to turn Jase around and ship her off to Mexico. Except the doctor dies. But she was evil anyway.	2001.03.13 2001.03.17	C	Kim
1-13 Recap	Brains for dinner, brains for lunch, why can't we have some guts guts guts?! The Kidz Are Aiight - Welcome to Episode Thirteen. In which Zack reveals that he has got zombie DNA that can kick Max's feline DNA's ass. In which the laws of physics are bent to the breaking point. In which there is no kissing, no romantic dinners, no realistic time frames, and no Jam Ponies.	2001.02.20 2001.02.27	N/A	Amorgan
1-12 Recap	Slip and fall and hurt my head Rising - The Red Series South African Hit Squad is on the scene again, but unfortunately, they fail to harvest Max's ova or kick her ass. What a disappointment! To make up for that shortcoming, the writers decided to try placate us with feeble but well-intentioned attempts at continuity, clarity, and the occasional explanation of impossible occurrences. Maybe Max will get her ass kicked next week if I play nice with the writers.	2001.02.13 2001.02.19	B-	LuluBates
1-11 Recap	Love and Marriage Go Together Like a Horse and Glue Factory Art Attack - There's art theft. There's a wedding. There's a lot of talk about the nature of love and marriage. Very un-deep talk that would probably make Linda Hamilton pop a vein if she were watching. And, like I said, there's Max, naked in a dumpster. You'll love it.	2001.02.06 2001.02.09	N/A	Amorgan
1-7 Recap	Blood is thicker than water. But what does that mean, really? Cold Comfort - Max gets to confront Lydecker. Zach gets to smack Lydecker around. Zach and the Cap'n get to throw static at one another. Sketch gets a respectable businessman to admit to sleeping with two chicks at once. And Normal gets the shits. It's a laff riot. It's comedy, it's drama - but is it a dramedy? It just may be.	2000.11.28 2001.02.02	C	Amorgan
1-10 Recap	Holier than thou Red - Max and Cap'n EO save some old scum of the earth so that he can testify against the mayor, and they feel really good about themselves for doing it. They feel so good about themselves for doing it that they talk about how great they feel the WHOLE. FREAKING. EPISODE.	2001.01.16 2001.01.17	B	LuluBates
1-9 Recap	It's a shame about Ray Out - Actually, it's not, but I really wanted to tie in that Lemonheads song somehow. See, Ray is Normal's secret name. And he falls in love, kind of. And I actually like him in this episode. Everyone else does a Riverdance all over my nerves, as usual, what with ruminations on the nature of gender, thoughts on love, bad cat-burgling, and improbable feats of both logic and logistics. Also, I have poison ivy all over my arms and I am worried that I've accidentally spread it to my neck. Yuck.	2001.01.09 2001.01.15	N/A	Amorgan
1-8 Recap	Hot patootie Blah Blah Woof Woof - Lydecker continues his hot pursuit of Max and manages to scare her out of town, but not for long, since Max is determined to act on her Electra complex. Or was that Zack's Oedipal complex? Or was it my gag reflex? Read 'em and weep.	2000.12.12 2000.12.17	N/A	LuluBates
1-6 Recap	He said, she said...I said shut. Up. Prodigy - There's a war a-brewin' at the Halls of Justice as Captain EO and Max's relationship devolves into an eternal I'll Save The Day/No, I'll Save The Day back-and-forth. Now if only the writers would save my day and kill off one of them. And I don't mean the one on wheels.	2000.11.21 2000.11.26	N/A	LuluBates
1-5 Recap	How to Make an Actor from Common Household Materials 411 On The DL - Step One: Take an old piece of wood. A two-by-four will do. Step Two: Draw a face on it with a Sharpie marker. Glue pink marshmallows on for lips if you want to make a Hot Babe Actor. Step Three: Make a tape recording of your favorite child reading a Dark Angel script. Tape the cassette player to the two-by-four, then press "play." Voila! Your very own actor, for a fraction of the price that "real" actors cost! You'll win that Emmy for sure this time.	2000.11.14 2000.11.20	N/A	Amorgan
1-4 Recap	ZZZZZZzzzzzz... C.R.E.A.M. - The writers decided to give themselves a vacation this week and have the new Microsoft scriptwriting software write the episode for them, with all the plot techniques that keep your audience begging for more. You've got your dysfunctional family. Your brief nudity. Your fight scenes. Your developing love interest. Your Russian gangsters. Your girls dressed like hookers. But wait, what's that sound? It's Lulu, sawing logs.	2000.10.31 2000.11.04	N/A	LuluBates
1-3 Recap	Take My Tryptophan, Please Flushed - Whaddya get when you cross a genetically-engineered super-being, a glass of milk, a guy in a wheelchair, and a lesbian hooker? Why, mayhem, of course! You what I really missed in this episode, though? The motorcycle. I wonder if it's taking some personal time to attend to its private life, the life that every star lives off-camera, the life it had before it became a television star. Fame has its price, my friends. Oh, yes. Fame has its price.	2000.10.17 2000.10.22	N/A	Amorgan
1-2 Recap	Cat Scratch Fever Heat - Max's feline DNA gets her all hot and bothered. Mothers, lock up your Captain EOs! Oh, and didn't Max have a motorcycle or something last week? Because it doesn't show up in this week's episode. Oh, wait. It does. Forty thousand times.	2000.10.10 2000.10.14	N/A	LuluBates
1-1 Recap	Witchblade Runner Pilot - She's pneumatic, mnemonic, she's got a wicked bike and puffy lips -- is there anything Max can't do? Forget her past, maybe.	2000.10.03 2000.10.05	N/A	Amorgan
