Re: Misfits well worth a watch
Ok, three episodes in and I'm loving Rudy. They've picked the perfect replacement for Nathan without a doubt. I think he's hilarious. Might even prove to be more loveable than Nathan. The show is still top notch. Superb.

This had me in complete hysterics last night. I think I watched this scene about 15 times.

Re: Misfits well worth a watch
It totally feels like I'm in this alone now but I'm loving the hell out of this show. I now feel that Rudy is a superb character and I love the interaction between his two selves. We've basically been given two great characters to replace Nathan and it's an excellent trade. Yet Curtis' alter comes across well as a female version of himself rather than a feminine version of himself.
I generally don't bother with hidden text but in this thread I will.
episode 305.

Re: Misfits well worth a watch
I've just put so many shows to the side... This happens to be one of them. But a break in most shows and a week off soon should see me getting back to this.
I feel bad because Fresh Meat also got put on hold. So frigging funny.

Re: Misfits well worth a watch
I've been keeping up to date with this, its fucking awesome!!! Just finished 3x07 and the preview for 3x08 looks absolutely spectacular. Don't mind rudy at all, but would still be happy if they're setting up simon and his girl to go on their vegas trip and bring nathan back. I'm sure we must be near the end of this season. fucken laughed when they *super spoiler for 3x07*

Re: Misfits well worth a watch
Fuck that made me laugh. And the way Rudy stands there and gives her a lame explanation. Next episode is the season final I think. It does look spectacular. They've got a green light for season 4. The Vegas stuff still has to play out, you're right. But I didn't think Nathan was coming back into the series. Great if he does but the show has survived without him.
I think the latest ep (307) is the only one so far where Rudy's conscience doesn't pop out of him. And you'd think he would with his Cheerleaderphobia.

Re: Misfits well worth a watch
Yes...and apparently Alisha is not returning for season 4. I thought she was a good character but I don't think it's anywhere near as big a deal as Nathan leaving.
Excellent season over all. Very happy with Rudy. Very happy with the story so far. No complaints at all. Totally looking forward to next season.

Re: Misfits well worth a watch
Yeah, ending was a total shock for me but I guess it was gonna happen sooner or later. I can't wait for next season either, really curious whether they keep who's left or spend another season introducing more new characters

Re: Misfits well worth a watch
Another crushing blow. Iwan Rheon who plays Simon will also not be returning for season 4. So there you have it. Season 4 will probably keep going and leave Simon and Elisha in a time loop. I'm still totally on board for the next season. Hopefully they can replace them without missing a beat as they did with Nathan. Simon was such an excellent character. When Nathan left I was happy to let the show be about Simon. Hopefully we keep Rudy for a good while. I'd hate to see Kelly go too but I could live with Curtis leaving.

Re: Misfits well worth a watch
Finally got around to finishing off theseason. It really is one of the best shows around. Yep Rudy is an excellent character.
Will be interesting to see where they take it next season.

Season 4 starts October 28. Will be interesting to see how it copes without Simon, Alisha and Kelly.
Re: Misfits well worth a watch
Down to one original cast member? They're really determined to run this show into the ground.

Re: Misfits well worth a watch
I still laughed so there's that. The new characters are ok. Similar to the characters they replace. I'm on board. I got what I expected.

Re: Misfits well worth a watch
A shame that my least favourite character is the last (original) man standing in the show. Nevertheless, Rudy is now the focus and that's a good thing. I really enjoyed the latest episode. The two new characters fit well and I'm warming to them quickly. Looking forward to Rudy's new third character making an appearance next week. Three of Rudy could only be better than two. I won't mind if they rename Misfits to The Rudies Show.

Re: Misfits well worth a watch
And I really would like to mention the soundtrack for each season. They seem to pick some fuckawesome stuff, even the theme song is great.
But in the latest episode They went with a song I'd never heard before but knew almost instantly who was singing.
I present for your listening pleasure, the Great, Harry Nilsson.

Re: Misfits well worth a watch
If you're reading this post then I warn you, you should be up to date. If not you're going to read things you wish you didn't. Other than hiding my entire post, I've done my best. But I'm not hiding the post. Be gone or read on.
Curtis. Was always my least favourite character but nevertheless it saddened me to see him end himself. I never read up on my shows so I'm not aware if it was already known that he was leaving but it came as a complete surprise to me. It kind of needed to happen though. He was the last link to the old characters and the old events. His final power was almost as completely useless as Alisha's rape touch "power". The one card the writers have kept in play is that Seth still holds the reverse time power. As long as that actor doesn't go all race hate on a bus driver anything could happen.
I'm not seeing any weakness in the show for losing the entire original cast. I can't think of another show that has done that so successfully outside of long running soaps like Neighbours. And they took fifteen or twenty years to weed out every original. I can't think of a comedy series that has done it. The new characters have grown on me. I like Jess more than I ever liked Alisha. The show certainly misses Kelly but Abby might end up being a worthy replacement. While Finn isn't necessarily an upgrade from Simon, I still like him quite a bit. And Rudy makes the show work like a well greased, sweaty and unwashed machine.
In some ways I think the show is better now than when it first started. I some ways I don't.

Re: Misfits well worth a watch
Started watching this last night, up to the fouth ep where Curtis changed time so his missus didn´t go to jail. Actually enjoying it so far. Only have the first two seasons though. Looked online to see if the show was still running and was quite surprised to see the season poster only had one familiar face. Curses, didn´t want any spoilers but still, it´s not like I know what has happened so that´s a good thing.
