Site History

There's no small parts, only small actors. I think that statement rings so true on Dark Angel. The young X5s had about 25% of the air time in Dark Angel's first season, but they had this presence about them. Especially young Max and Zack, who's eyes told the story of their haunted past. Popular young Jondy made only one appearance (the Pilot), and became one of the most popular X5s yet. I was a huge fan of the Mini x5s, but I noticed that the big sites either gave them little acknowledgment or NO acknowledgment. Geneva Locke, Chris Lazar, and the other young X5s did an excellent job as the younger versions of Max, Zack, and the others in the first Season of Dark Angel. I thought they deserved a lot of attention, so I gave them some.

There came a time I wanted to expand the site. I basically had two choices in expanding the website, making it all X5 focused or making it all kid focused. I decided to make it kid focused because of my appreciation for various little acknowledged kids on the series like Case, Jude, Sage, etc. In Season 2, the X-series section grew beyond X5 when more X-kids from other X series appeared. Unfortunately, the series ended it's run after season 2 in 2002, so I wondered. Shall I continue to run this site? After all my hard work, I wasn't going to rip it off line. So, now it's mainly become an archive of the further works of the young actors in the series. It isn't really as all kid as it use to be (heck, some of the older "teenage characters" have young actors behind them that are young ADULTS). But as long as I feel like following them, the site will remain active in this capacity.[2]
