Dark Angel vs. Alias

Have not yet watched Full Disclosure. Am slightly miffed about it. Have watched me some season 1 Dark Angel. Have noticed much resemblance between two aforementioned shows. A resemblance begging for a comparison. Or a shootout (Max doesn't use guns so would definitely lose, though Sydney's not genetically enhanced...) ;-) Jessica is prettier than Jennifer. But, that alone does not make a show — just look at Bay Watch. I think Jennifer is much more of an actress than Jessica who, to me, seems to be a model: stand this way, stand that way, smile, more cleavage please, yes... now bend over, shake your rear, perfect, cut, paste action scenes on blue screen background and sell like hot cakes. Also, all the support actors (male interest, family & friends (obligatory African-American best friend included. Have you noticed how all WASP heroines have this sidekick?), tech-support, villains, etc.) in Alias are better, as is the plot. I don't like apocalyptic Sci-Fi anyway! In conclusion: Boss likes it 'coz it's about a hot babe on a bike (he's a bike guy). It is not a better show. Though it does make superior, albeit distracting, desktop wallpapers. :-)
