Soooooo,
Misfits is hilarious and addictive. It's not a perfect show. It is full of imperfect people-- people you'd probably hate in real life but who are at least not intentionally cruel, so you can excuse their flaws because they're entertaining beyond belief. It's also not without its issues (Alisha's power is WHAT NOW?) but I like that the writers often take the time to satirize or subvert once they've let the audience stew in ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME land for an episode or two.
I was not prepared for some of the legit feels it has brought, but ya know what else I was
definitely not prepared for? The sex scene in 2x03.
This one? When
that happened?
BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE.
That was easily one of the sexiest sex scenes I have ever seen. OMFG.
And Simon! Who knew, man? WHO KNEW?But I do have one question about timey-wimeyness. I often have issues with time travel logic. From
Terminator to "Mythago Wood" to
Back To The Future there's always that chicken-or-egg, original motivation plot hole that never quite seems to make sense.
( Spoilers for the whole series.Collapse )TL;DR THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT, THE LESS SENSE IT MAKES. IT'S A PARADOX. IT'S LIKE THE GRANDFATHER PARADOX, BUT IN REVERSE. I HOPE THEY ADDRESS IT SOMEHOW, OR AT LEAST GIVE ME MORE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE. I NEED TO GO TO BED.
If a magical acid rain cloud bestowed me a superpower somehow related to my personality or abilities, I think I'd be able to mentally link to Wikipedia so I would actually BECOME Encyclopedia Christanica (as J is fond of calling me. I recall random information extremely well).
Either that or I would morph into a giant angry green fact-spewing monster. As the Facebook meme says-- The Credible Hulk.
Or maybe I'd be able to telepathically heat and bend metal... or I'd magically manifest gemstones. Or be able to change hair color at will!
So many possibilities. In my wine-and-Nutella state, I'm sure I'll be up at least a few more hours thinking of them.
What would your Misfits power be?
