I really have been enjoying watching JA DA. I think the show was just shaping up when it was yanked. I hate when that happens. And who couldn't love Alec to bits by the end, but he always got the shaft in the attitude of everyone else. Poor, misunderstood boy. He should come over to my house. I get him.

I read one or two...hmmm, not sure I can take the author's version of Max-as-Alec's-lover. I'm all for Alec, but not at the expense of the characterization of Max (and everyone else). ;)

I'm pretty sure valjean also made the website I sent to you the other day. I still haven't looked at the whole thing, but I also still recommend the history section, because it's very basic and puts it all into perspective--in chronological order. That may not be important to everyone, but I love having the whole history laid out for me like that.

I also read that long series she had with Max/Alec (the whole thing *g*), and I didn't recommend the stories for just the reason you mentioned. I didn't like the scenario at the expense of Logan either. I don't dislike Logan and I also don't mind Logan/Alec because, as you mentioned, they were integral to the story from the beginning.

From what I can tell, there are only two more episodes of season 2 and so far, I haven't seen any real love triangle either. Logan never showed any signs of jealousy toward Alec until he and Max were on the outs and he saw Alec leaving her apartment in the morning and looking pretty chummy with her--and then Max confirmed it, even though she was lying. Logan had no reason to be jealous of Alec.

For her part, I don't think Max "secretly" loves Alec and not Logan. I think she likes Alec more than she wants to admit to herself, but I don't see it as anything romantic or sexual.

On Alec's part, I think he's very attached to Max. I'm not sure why, but I think it's that she's someone who understands his situation. He doesn't have to explain everything to her and he can be himself around her. He has nothing to hide from her. What I don't get is why he stuck around even though she treated him like crap all the time, but I also think it's because of that connection thing, and maybe because he didn't think he deserved better. Alec is very smart and a leader, but I think that Max is wiser in a lot of ways, probably because of her experiences. That could also be part of what attracts Alec to Max.

Whatever the reason, I really don't know if Alec likes Max as more than just a friend. He seemed to be hurt by what Asha (sp?) said to him at the bar (that she was glad nothing happened).
