Save me, Barry!!! Rewatch of Misfits!!
Oct. 12th, 2013 10:51 pmRight then! Son and I have begun the rewatch. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
further is with us, I hope. So far we've been through season one. So, what's the word?
Spoilers like whoa below!
Son says that the characters are getting their powers depending on their personality. I think he's right.
Alicia wants to be seen, wants to be wanted; whenever someone touches her they get crazy with lust.
Simon -poor sod- also also wants to be seen. He feels invisible, no one has ever noticed him. His power is to turn invisible. He can se them but they can't see him. And what he sees, he can use agaisnt them. Good? Bad? Depends on from where you're watching.
Curtis's situation is pure Sofokles. He tries to change destiny but what happens? Complete and utter fail. No matter what he does, it always ends up the same or worse.
Kelly wants to know what people actually think about her, and thus she gained the power to read other people's minds. Does that gain her any favours? Yes and no. She gets to know what peole think about her but more often than not the truth hurts. She does have a killer headbutt though.
Nathan thinks he is God's gift to mankind and feels immortal. Due to this, he becomes immortal when the storm hit, although he doesn't find out until he actually dies and wakes up in a coffin. I miss Nathan. The series sort of died when he left.
The message of this tale? Well it could be that whatever you do, whatever you try, you'll always end up where you began. Sofokles, right! You cannot escape destiny. Aside from that; it's an awesome tale. It's brutal and raw, in a way that no HW-show has it. Think Sofokles! Destiny! Fate!!
Simon and the probation-worker; it's such a sad tale of loneliness. Simon wants to have 'someone' and he thinks he's gotten someone. When it turns out aht he's been used, the ugly truth that Simon is s right psychopath shows. Why is he having tea with his dead p-worker, with her propped up in the freezer? Right!
There is much to analyse here, son and I have only scratched the surface. As Kelly says; Come on you wankers!! Let's have it!!!
Son says FML!!!!! He can't stand my misspellings :) He's also gotten all ethymological on me. The word community; it's derived from common and unity he claims. The thought is very much logic, we haven't checked it, but if you do; please let us know if he's right.
He has also cracked the mystery of why people spell like to god-forbid on the net. It's because they lack rhythm and pacing in the key-pressing or that they have malshaped/misformed keyboards.
As it is; I'll say FML as well. We're getting on to season two tomorow. Discussions are encouraged and looked forward to.
Nighty night, everybody.
