I mostly liked this episode, though I felt it was lacking in action.
I don't know about Rudy. But it took me most of the first series to love Nathan. (Nathan was disturbingly like a guy I used to do theatre with, down to how transparent he was in his delight in saying something that disgusted everyone. IRL, it wasn't nearly as endearing.)
Hey, we got to see junk! It's such a world, with such marvels in it.
Yeah, I boggled at that a bit. But in a good way.
I thought the actress playing Melissa was fantastic too. I hope she shows up regularly. Lots of dualities this series so far.
How often do the episodes run?
Every blue moon?
I think it was weekly before.
I can't believe that article discusses slash. Perverts.

The subtext is becoming text all over the place.
The first three episodes of Sherlock ran weekly, but that was in the summer and before the BBC discovered it had a monster hit on its hands, so God knows how they'll be showing them now.
I just read Mark Watches's posts on the S1 episodes, and he's all over the subtext, as well.

Would it be an abuse of University equipment to watch the ep using a classroom with a projector at school? hmmm...
Guardian article about this season of Misfits:
I am very, very sad to say that I disagree with the article and most of the comments; I've been pretty let down by S. 3 so far.
The new powers have been such a disappointment. Simon and Alisha have used theirs a couple of times at most, and they've been completely incidental to the plot. Kelly's was boding well ("Because you're a fucking rocket scientist" - "Yes I fuckin' am!"), but nothing has happened here at all the past couple of episodes and now I'm not even sure if she still has that power or Curtis's old one. (Which, by the way, never allowed him to travel back in history outside of his own time). Melissa was cool but, I'm sorry, I'm pretty sure a self-impregnation would never have made it to a viable pregnancy. Now she's gone too and all Curtis has left is Zombification. And Rudy is just too, too much.
They're going to have to pull some major Simon-is-Superhoodie-type HSQ in the finale to redeem themselves on this one, as far as I'm concerned.
Fiona,
the Nazi episode featured a different power altogether - it wasn't Curtis' old power.
I actually like what they've done with Kelly this season. It feels like she had gotten more plot and more agency. I dig it. Alisha though...they need to develop her character a bit more separate from the male characters.

Yes, it was. [Edit: well, it was supposed to be. Like I said: it doesn't quite add up]. When Curtis wanted his old power back at the end of S. 2 Seth told him he'd sold it to an old Jewish guy who wanted to kill Hitler. That's what we saw played out.
