spirited away Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Wow, I have to say, Misfits was rubbish this week. First bad episode yet.
Daft Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 I thought that was quite a fun concept though. Nazi imagery stimulates me. The idea was cool but the execution was terrible. I thought Simon was going to get the time travel power at the end. Surprised he didn't. Would have made total sense. It was too 'everything is uncanny-ly different but pretty much exactly the same'.
ReZourceman Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 I see where you're coming from but I looked at it as a "one of millions/unlimited different versions of reality and we are being given the one that makes the most sense to us as viewers".
Daft Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 But it didn't make that much sense. Had the Nazi general dude been the Community worker who they all killed in the first episode, I probably would have loved it. Also, why didn't they have powers?
ReZourceman Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 I think they did have powers but never had any reason to use them?
Daft Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Kurtis didn't have reason to use his power before his brain painted the floor? Since their powers were based on their subconscious desires it would have been great to see how growing up in a Nazi Britain would have changed that. But no. Nothing. Actually, I really hated this episode. It's what happens when you have a piss poor imagination.
dan-likes-trees Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Kind of agree with Daft. That said, I watched it today after everyone told me it was crap so low expectations made it a bit more enjoyable. All seemed a bit like Howard Overman / whoever directs the show is a bit too much of an Inglorious Bastards fan.
dan-likes-trees Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 So I haven't been that impressed this series but I just watched this weeks - classic! I would so watch a zombie show in the Misfits style.
Daft Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Yeah, this week's was excellent. This season hasn't been great but whatevs.
Supergrunch Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 How many episodes left now? Just the one I think.
spirited away Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Anyone watch the last episode? I'm not sure what to think...
Emma Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 I watched it. When you think back to the second series, it all makes sense. The death of Alisha did seem very rushed and not well planned, but never mind. The only thing that bugs me is how would Seth take a power off of someone who is immune to him taking his power? It's been renewed for a fourth series, I wonder who they will cast now that Alisha and Simon are gone?
Beast Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I've loved this season. A couple of average episodes but I've enjoyed them nonetheless and Rudy is a good replacement of Nathan. The last episode, in my opinion, was great but... it's a bit sad to see Simon and Alisha go. However, I'm right in thinking that Simon and Alisha will be stuck in some kind of time loop forever now, right? Because Simon will always want to save Alisha and stuff. Anyway, great episode with a great twist, literally one of those few moments where it made me very shocked. I didn't see it coming at all.
Goafer Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I both like and hate Simon. He's an interesting character but I hate his voice and how he talks. For such a badass, he whines like a bitch.
Pancake Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Does anyone even still watch this? The final series starts tonight. I'm glad they're putting it out of its misery, but i'll still watch. A Nathan guest appearance would be amazing.
MoogleViper Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Didn't know there was another series. Yeah I'll still watch, but it's gone downhill. I wouldn't have minded if they'd have rebooted it properly, but it just seemed like they dragged the life out of it by stick bandaid-characters over the original-cast-shaped holes. There wasn't even an overlying story.
Pancake Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Yep, it's pretty much a trainwreck now. Still good for the occasional good one liner, i guess.
Rummy Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I don't think I've watched it since they all got 'new' powers and Nathan left, was it? I can't even remember. Only episode I can actually remember of note was when super hoody's identity was revealed. Meant to keep watching after that, but just never got round to it. Who, if anyone, is actually left from the original cast?
MoogleViper Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I don't think I've watched it since they all got 'new' powers and Nathan left, was it? Everyone left eventually.
bob Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Season 3 was.....alright. Never got into season 4. Are they on 5 now?
Rummy Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Season 3 was.....alright. Never got into season 4. Are they on 5 now? Think it's still Channel 4. (Yes.)
Rummy Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Was just reading the happenings in the last few series and I've either already seen half of it and completely forgotten, or totally read about it before. I think I saw half of the series after Nathan left and most of the one after, but all in all doesn't sound entirely mindblowing so...I'll maybe give this a miss and have a massive catchup later on. I suck too much at TV these days anyway.
Agent Gibbs Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Misfits is still going?wow! i stopped watching after Nathan left, andi heard most of the cast left after and i assumed that was it! so a trainwreck still passes for misfits....you guys are really selling the soft rebooted version to me lol
