yes, I'm really looking forward to both. I might have to save them up and mainline them over the weekend. I'm supposed to be grading.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Okay, I've caught up on Misfits, just in time for the finale in... fifteen minutes. Woo!
My response to the rest of series two was pretty much "Simon. Simon? Simon! Siiiiiiiimoooooooon!!! Gorilla? Simon."

The preview for the Christmas special looks hilarious. I think
"I'm gonna kill Jesus"
might be the most festive line ever.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
Simon really has some of the best facial expressions. i'm both scared and turned on by his "game on" face. also? loved the Terminator line. such a Simon thing to say!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Funny thing is, someone was complaining elsewhere (IO9) that Simon's time loop made no sense. I explained it...using Terminator. So I feel quite vindicated right now.

I mostly think it makes sense. I don't know why Alisha wouldn't just tell him in the future to invest in some kevlar when he travels back. That wouldn't break the loop, because everything up until then would still happen, I think.

Oh! Also, the interview with the Asbo 5 that Alisha watched won't happen now, so does that mean that the whole future has changed?

Jars, my thoughts exactly. Oh well, wibbly wobbly timey wimey....
I did like the Terminator reference too though. Also, that Alisha never knows what Simon is on about (she hadn't heard of Echo and the Bunnymen either).
The minute that Curtis said he was lactose intolerant, it was pretty clear how how things were going to pan out. And there was Simon, protecting them all again.
Lactokinesis-Guy was very creepy, and the way he took care of Nathan was absolutely chilling. The supporting parts have been stupendous this season.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
it is kind of funny how his power worked on dairy, but nothing else. I still don't get the clogging arteries bit: is that even dairy anymore when it has been metabolized? What a creep though.
When Kelly was "dead", I knew that Curtis would have to be the one to save the day.

Man! That baby face with the cold steel glare was really chilling.

Well spotted!
Yeah, the dairy still in the stomach should work, but metabolized proteins? Hand-wavium!

Right. Though the twists of just how the obvious occurred were really inventive.
My one concern with the way the awesome stories are unfolding is that they are getting pretty cavalier about killing people. The body count is getting pretty high. It could be tough to maintain sympathy if they don't try some more creative solutions.
