"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."

right. but why could he touch her when she had the power?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

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.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

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

interesting post of race/gender on Misfits for anyone who is interested.

The comments are pretty good too and not just all squee all the time.
