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.
Wash: I'm not leaving her side, Mal. Don't ask me again. Mal: I wasn't asking. I was telling.

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.

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!

"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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm midway through Season 2. It's an interesting watch, though it's kind of too coarse for me sometimes. I will have more thoughts when I finish.

I am *so* loving Downton Abbey. I can't believe they're dumbing it down for US audiences. I'm not entirely sure what needs to be simplified. I'd never heard of "entail" before, and I get it.
