( going down swinging )

I’m fixing to do that fandom-year-in-review meme, so I figured I might as well give you my ~thoughts~ on Misfits before I randomly include it on that meme and y’all are all like, “Wait, she watches Misfits?”

Actually, yes I do. I’m always about a week behind for some reason (I’m planning on watching the Christmas special tonight SO NO SPOILERS PLEASE), but yes I am watching it.

And it’s good. Very good. Well written, great characters, interesting premises, etc. I mean, I love the idea of these bunch of losers getting super powers and finding out they aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. Flat-out great premise for a show.

( spoilers for the first two seasons sans Xmas special )

I need to take this moment to freak the heck out because I just figured out that Spike from Press Gang is playing Nathan's dad on Misfits. HOW IS ANYTHING SO PERFECT POSSIBLE? I'm now going to totally disregard the fact that we've already met his mom and pretend that she's played by Julia Sawalha. OH HAI DEXTER FLETCHER. YOU HAVE NOT AGED WELL AND YOU SOUND REALLY FUNNY WHEN YOU AREN'T FAKING AN AMERICAN ACCENT AND DELIVERING SNARKY STEVE MOFFAT-PENNED DIALOGUE AND BEING A REALLY GOOD GUY WHILE PRETENDING TO BE A BAD BOY. STILL, I AM GLAD TO SEE YOU ON MY TELEVISION SCREEN. PERFECT CASTING IS PERFECT.

And yes, I'm still crossing my fingers that Moffat will do the Press Gang reunion movie. He's got the go ahead from the network. Now he just needs to make it happen.

Also, yes, Dexter Fletcher is freakishly short, and I amused by any jokes along those lines.
