Misfits Blog | TQS Magazine

This series has been a journey for sure. The “Previously On…” recap brought up some blasts from the past. A couple of dead probation workers and a crazy brainwashing religious girl; all killed by the Misfits. I was hoping to hear “Save me Barry!” once more but you can’t have everything. We are also reminded of Simon promising Alisha that he will stop becoming Superhoodie and just settle down. If you haven’t watched this episode yet, stop reading and go catch up. Don’t let anyone spoil it for you! Okay, so we start this episode by a psychic telling Simon… From a funny episode last week, to an even funnier one this week. Raising the dead seems like awfully hard work. I can’t imagine Curtis will keep this power for very long. Seth and Curtis open the episode by digging up Seth’s ex girlfriend who died after an overdose. Seth blames himself and obviously wants to make amends. They bring her back to life, Seth dumps Kelly and they try to go back to normal. But something’s not right with her. Curtis also brings a cat back from the dead for an old lady; thinking he’s done something good, he’s… After a few quieter-than-normal episodes of Misfits we are back with a bang here. Rudy takes centre stage this week and drags Simon along for the ride. The problem? A girl he has a one night stand with gives him with a disease, but we’re not talking your run of mill STI here. She has the power to give diseases out to whoever treats her like dirt. And Rudy did treat her pretty badly. An odd power I agree, but the thing I love about Misfits is that the possibilities are endless. Literally anything could be a power. Rudy is… So after last weeks alternative universe with the Nazis running the country, this time we have some body swapping shenanigans. Oh, and another dead probation worker. At the beginning of the episode Seth asks Kelly out on a date; she’s happy, he’s happy, everything looks great. However, the Misfits have to go and do some community service at a hospital. In there, Kelly tries to help a coma patient but when she touches her, they swap bodies and Kelly is left in the hospital with no way out. The gang end up realising it’s not Kelly they are talking to… All the Misfits’ old powers went somewhere and at the start of this episode we see an old man called Friedrich who has Curtis’ old ability to wind back time. And what does he do with that? Decide to kill Hitler of course. It’s quite moving, as we see Friedrich at a memorial to the heroes of World War 2 and he says he is doing it for them. But of course, not all runs smoothly and Hitler ends up getting his hands on Friedrich’s mobile phone. Flash forward and we see that the mobile gave the Nazis a technological… It’s Simon’s turn in the spotlight this week, and he’s still trying to become “Superhoodie” (which seems to be his official name now). He knows it’s his destiny and he knows what will happen to him but still he does it all for Alisha. Awwww!  Things are going pretty well for Simon. Him and Alisha are together and in love, he is still doing loads of parkour trying to hone his Superhoodie routine, okay so he’s back on probation but overall things are looking good. Especially considering what he has been through. I think he is the centre of the… After a great opener last week, I was keen to see if they could keep up the momentum with the second episode. And even more keen to see how they’d make further use of Curtis’ gender swapping power. Things were back to “normal” for the Misfits by the end of the last episode; they were all back in their orange jumpsuits with their probation officer, Shaun being generally unhelpful and rather unsurprised they were back. After Rudy’s opening episode, this one centres on Curtis and his new power. While watching a group of youths train for athletics it’s obvious he… One of E4’s best original dramas returned to our TV screens on Sunday night and fans were eager to find out whether Nathan’s departure would be the death of the series or breathe new life into it. Spoilers ahead! At the end of the last series we were left with the ASBO 5 about to get some new powers. After they sold their original ones to a dealer who could transfer powers, they realised that life was just as hard without them so returned to the dealer to buy some more. The gang may have gained new powers but they…
