Yes bonny, I was very disappointed in Alisha at that moment too. When she explained I could understand her motivation, but still. I thought it was a nice touch that she was at the receiving end of her power for once though .

Oh my God, they killed Nikki! I liked Nikki. Bastards. Tim-like levels of attrition here .

He still bugs the shit out of me, but Nathan and Marnie were absolutely adorable together . And I loved the anti-Christmas-Specialness of it all. "Oh my God, you killed Jesus" !

Yup, great setup for next season. "Late next year" though - wah!

I'm going to bet that Simon goes for time travel. How else could he go back in time to be Future!Simon?

Of course Jon! Makes total sense.

I think he gets more than one though.

Hah - I was thinking that Simon might choose Nathan's immortality, and thus not really die when taking that bullet for Alisha. Then he could travel back to the future and continue his life with her .

Wishful speculation, I know. More than one makes sense too - they had enough money. Doubles all round!

The gymnastics *could* be learned, in a Batman sorta way, but I think things like tossing that paper airplane across the river required an additional power. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with more than two.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Right. But what power is that? And he was unaffected by Alicia when he came back. I think he must have a speed/agility power and at least 2 others.

Did Dirk Gently air? How was it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I thought it was fun, although plotwise it wasn't remotely like the book I remember. Dirk was a bit more of a con man that I recall, but it's cloudy.

Misfits: I'm guessing Aliesha chose a different power to buy back.

Dirk Gently: I love the book(s) so much that I just could not enjoy the mini. It was fine as entertainment, but that was not my Dirk.

Alisha has to. Her power's gone.
