"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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

"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.
