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.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

"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.

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.

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

Dirk Gently: Just watched it this evening. I never read the book. I was bored at first but thought it picked up and was good fun by the end. The only problem I had plotwise was: How did the iPhone still work??! That's a hell of a battery!

This article with Steven Moffat, about the Christmas special, is snarky fun. (New York Times)
He says the Marilyn thing is just a gag. Hmph.
