I'm watching what I think is the pilot of Dark Angel (the TV show), and after about 15 minutes, I just can't shake this feeling that I'm watching a TV adaptation of William Gibson's novel Virtual Light...it's strange.

Also interesting is getting to see Alessandro Juliani, albeit with a very strange haircut and not much dialogue so far...

There's much more where that came from too. You'll see Nicki Clyne, Dominic Z., and others there as well. Hell, Nana Visitor plays some sort of bad, nasty scientist during the series run.

I'm a big fan of Dark Angel and actually it comes more from Heinlein's Friday than Virtual Light.

Not only Nicky Clyne (who plays a BLONDE mechanic named Fix-it) , but also Grace Park , Juliani , Dualla and many others it was shot in Vancouver


If you saw the pilot of Dark Angel you might have noticed that the escape scene and many flashbacks of Manticore have been reused in Hitman the movie
