Dark Angel star Jessica Alba told SCI FI Wire that she's looking forward to the changes her character, Max, will go through in the upcoming second season on Fox. "I think she was a lot more naïve with other human beings" in the first season, Alba said in an interview. "She never allowed herself to get close to anybody, and this season, she did. She's just grown into a woman. ... It's going to be a whole new set of challenges and everything. So I'm just looking forward to doing my job."

Alba--who also announced her engagement to series co-star Michael Weatherly--added that the stunts on the show grow ever more challenging. "They're terrifying, some of them," she said. "I've done it all. Name it, I've done it. ... Running and jumping off a trampoline into the air and landing on my back, sometimes it knocks the breath out of me, and I'm like, 'Oh God, thank God it's over! Because I don't know how many more of those I can do.' ... It'll always be challenging. Honestly, at two in the morning, when you have to run, sprint, from one side of an alley to the next, and then do, like, a five-combination tae kwon do thing with a guy who is three times your size. It'll be just as challenging, and probably more challenging in a couple years." Dark Angel starts its second season on Sept. 21.
