Then at the very end some miracle or something happened and he moved his leg or some such and was clearly going to be all better by the next ep. Never went back.
He wasn't. His storyline was both simultaneously the most frustrating thing ever, and the one of the more interesting subplots of the show.
PS -- the really interesting relationship on the show was Max/Alex, but he doesn't show up much before the start of the second season.
Well, it was Alec, not Alex. Made more interesting by the fact that he was the genetic duplicate of one of her X5 brothers she had to kill the previous season. I'm pretty sure the reason they brought him back was because of the chemistry between the actor and Jessica Alba.
Man, I really loved the first season (and maybe the first half of the second season).
IMDB has him down as "Erik Mangus "Magneto" Lensherr", except it's Magnus, not Mangus, so who knows if they can be trusted?
'Alec', of course -- bad memory for names here, which is why I'm double-guessing on Magneto. Of which I may have something to post later today....
I do remember a name that sounded like "Lensher", although I have no idea how it's spelled.
D'you know, in XF, there was fanfic about Krycek before we had a canonical spelling of his name? The people who (mis)spelled during that early period were very indignant at being lumped into the later ignorami who just never checked the end credits.
This is pretty damn neat.
Legolas/Gimli....
Thanks for the link, RL. That was lovely.
It is good, isn't it? Pretty much pick of the fandom, especially of the pairing.
Does no one check PolyRecs?
t fake huff
That's such a great story. Legolas/Gimli doesn't do much for me, generally, but that's just a little gem of perfection.
Shoot me, but... does Poly Recs have its own LJ?
