Five Thoughts About Misfits 3.5 – Kelly's Heroes

Another week, another chance to stay up and watch a new episode of Misfits. Obviously, spoilers, spoiler everywhere, as far as I can see. Especially the second-to-last photo and commentary. You have been warned. Here are your five thoughts of the day..

1. Repossessed

This is close to X-Men's Rogue from the comics as we'll get on the screen, a woman possessed by those she has possessed. Who has stolen a life and, slowly, is coming to terms with the consequences of that, unable to step back into her old life like a changing pair of shoes. Bodies, lives, they're just more complicated. And Kelly may be a fucking rocket scientist now. But when she's trapped in a coma victim's body, that's helping nobody.

2. De-kelly-fying Kelly

Taking her body, her life, her everything is one thing. But taking off her necklace, her earrings, her rings, the Croydon facelift. That feels far worse. Destroying everything that makes Kelly… Kelly. It's as radical a transformation as you can get. Although, oddly, she appears to have pretty much the same accent. Handy that.

3. Masturbation Nation

As Rudy explored the complications having two separate lives brings to the party (and the handjobs he just can't remember) , it seems like Curtis' extended time as a woman has given him a certain addiction to the female orgasm. Powers as an experience, a drug, you just can't kick?

4. Well This One Lasted A While. Comparatively.

For the first series, you couldn't move without probation workers getting bumped off and buried in a nearby copse. Then we got one who just didn't give a fuck, and managed to hang on in there for a couple of series. And now, after his Nazi collaborator episode last week, we lose him to as random yet deliberate an act as any other.

Could have done without that music thought. It's only the fucking probation worker after all.

5. They Are Fucking Superheroes

For the first time , three years in, it seems like our Misfits are actually acting like superheroes. Using their powers to aid an objective, planning, carrying it out, alkl while in danger and for an atruistic purpose.

I don't like it.
