And in case you were wondering Boxing Day is a British holiday that is observed December 26th.
That’s right I’m promising you a new episode tomorrow, in fact I’m working on it right now.
So hold onto your butts because I’m working on a miracle.

Well I read all the way through Before the Dawn (which I’ll review later) and enjoyed it immensely. However it stirred in me an itch that is really difficult to scratch. And that itch is having multitudes of ideas competing for my attention.
These ideas are naturally running the gamut from awful to awesome but it can be quite difficult to get them down and separated let alone coherent.
The main issue is that writing episodes takes a long time especially when one has to write them out long hand first as is a necessity at the moment. I work long days and during slow times I tend to do jigsaw puzzles and other mind numbing things.
Oh yeah…separating ideas. I tried to avoid writing on that problem but here we go Continue reading ‘So many good ideas…why can’t I write them down!?’
Well that last post sure seemed right at the time and yes I will undoubtedly be writing much more Maximum eventually. I have found myself working on getting a spine together if you will for the first few seasons of Maximum.
Just like one of my fave SF shows the brilliant Babylon 5 I don’t want to continue working on individual episodes until I have the spine or backbone of the series figured out to my satisfaction. So it could be a number of months before I continue working on the next episode itself.
However do not fear I will be updating the site much more regularly with a myriad of information about what’s coming in Maximum and my thoughts on the original Dark Angel.
Coming very soon will be two book reviews.
Dark Angel: Before the Dawn and Dark Angel: Skin Game
Soon we’ll be in MAXIMUM gear all over again!

First up here’s the trailer for James Cameron’s Avatar…I’m on the Meh side but I hope it grows on me.
Oh and Max wanted me to pass along this message:
From the Ashes we will rise.
Pulverize.
The beat down is coming.
I will become…what they fear.
I will be…all the world needs me to be.
I will pulverize.
I will sacrifice.
Once I realize…who I am.
I am…future’s fate.
Designate.
Obliterate.
Manticore beatdown.
EXT. SNOWY RIVERBANK- DAY
She sits up.
Looking around slowly almost as if she’s unable to wake up. Shaking her head slowly she leans forward and throws up, her puke splashing into the snow.
We see things through her eyes a kind of washed out almost ethereal world. And we realize as does she that this isn’t the first time she’s thrown up, let alone woken up. She brings her hands in front of her face as we see bone sticking out of the palm of her hand.
It is NOT her bone. And it confuses her. She doesn’t know who she is right now but we do, we’ll name her Max.
Max
What’s going on?
Her voice is a rasp, dry, like a plant in need of watering.
She forces herself up.
Just a little note to let you know that to the right you can find a new link under Messageboards.
Resist: No Fate But What We Make is a place to discuss All of my blogs, and there is a section specifically for Dark Angel and Dark Angel: Maximum.
So check it out and sign up…but post responsibly because I and others not to mention Lydecker will be watching.
Eyes Only.
As you can imagine loosing a laptop full of important files not the lest of which were tons of family video and pictures sucked. It also took the wind out of my sails with a number of high profile opportunities. Not the least of which was blogging for the Sci-Fi…now SyFy Network. However the thing that disgusted me the most was being unable to get Episode 6 out the door.
Episode 6 was 98 percent complete when my laptop was stolen and it was a very good conclusion and continuation from Whites’ Christmas. This has left me vexed on just how to continue working on Season One of Maximum, and I believe I have stumbled onto a workable solution.
Lydecker here.
Needless to say we’ve had to drop WAY below the radar here. This continues to be the case however you can rest assured that we’re always going to be on the case.
No one’s dead around here until I say so.
And no one’s gonna be dead around here anytime soon.

Yes it’s true Mind Games…AKA Episode Six is finally about done.
Good thing too since I’m about to go on the road starting the Monday after Next.
And I don’t know when I’ll next get to work on things.
HOWEVER….even if I don’t get online I will be writing the episodes long hand and typing them up whenever possible.
I already said Dark Angel: Maximum would NEVER be canceled. And I Meant it.
So no matter how silent it goes it WILL be back.
And Episode 7 Will be worth the wait.
Mind Games will be up by Wednesday at the latest.

Just a heads up as i finally got my butt in gear and created a page for Episode Five. You’ll find it in the menu to the right.
Also a little tease for Episode 6 is in order.
But because of spoilers you’ll have to follow me and rejoin the dialogue after the break.
