History YMMV / DarkAngel

** Both Creator/SkyOne and Creator/{{SyFy}} in the UK (when it was still Sci-Fi) implied in their trailers that the main reason to be watching was Creator/JessicaAlba. This proved to be the case for [[TestosteroneBrigade a lot of people]] (and unlike Creator/JensenAckles, she appears in every single episode).

* FaceOfTheBand: Gene Hoglan. Interestingly, he wasn't a founding member and didn't even appear on the first album, but once he joined, he seems to have become the band's dominant force almost immediately.

** Hitman Bruno Anselmo's daughter Annabelle was played by Creator/JodelleFerland, known for playing Alessa in ''Film/SilentHill'' and Five on ''Series/DarkMatter'', among other roles (including guest spots on two episodes of ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' as two different [[CreepyChild Creepy Children]]).

** Many people on forums confess to only watching for Creator/JensenAckles, usually after becoming ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' fans. Unfortunately, this usually means they watch only "Pollo Loco" and Season Two, and thus don't appreciate that the rest of Season One is also good. And if you search Tumblr for "dark angel", the majority of results are Alec pics.

** Around the same time this show ended, Creator/AshleyScott (Asha) got her own metahuman ActionGirl series with [[MonsterOfTheWeek metahumans of the week]] as Helena Wayne/Huntress in ''Series/BirdsOfPrey''.

* FanPreferredCouple: Despite Max being paired with Logan Cale in canon, Max/Alec is far more popular in fanfiction. Many fans see their bickering as BelligerentSexualTension. Others see it just as bickering and find the idea of them together squicky because Alec is the identical twin of Max's adoptive brother Ben, even if they are NotBloodSiblings.

** Creator/AlessandroJuliani, best known as Lt Felix Gaeta in BSG, played recurring Jam Pony employee Druid in the first season of ''Dark Angel'' and one late episode of the second.

** Fics where Ben and Alec actually get to meet, such as by Ben being revived or an AU where they grew up together in the first place. May be combined with the ''Supernatural'' crossover.

* IAmNotShazam: Occasionally one finds people on the Internet who think Max goes by the name "Dark Angel". She doesn't. The title is a reference to her dark past, dark complexion, angelic features, and job as a bike messenger ("angel" literally means "messenger").
