Well when I was backing up my LJ I came across this, a very poorly written fic about how poorly written in a different way some of the characters of Misfits were.
Also a very good summary of why I eventually quit the show, because it unbelievably got more rape-y from there.
The Female Assassin by Sarah531 take place after the 4th episode of season 3 where Kelly beat the shit out of Hitler to prevent Germany winning the war. Turns out that her effort was redorded in the history books and the gang have a good time discovering this.
This is a short fanfic about a great idea, because surely an unidentified woman attacking Hitler without ever being caught would go down in history! The dialog feels natural to the characters as we know them from the screen. Especially Kelly’s voice is recognizable, I can really hear her say these lines. Despite the cursning so natural to the Misfit verse I think this is a rather cute text, everyone being as proud of Kelly as she is of herself.

Kelly Bailey – Don’t get me wrong, I know why she was written out (it was something really, really crappy the actress did) but it’s still a shame she ended up totally forgotten about.

You can probably tell I’ve cooled off on Misfits, because it’s been four episodes in and I’ve barely talked about it-
All the main cast are dead or pushed off somewhere, and replaced with people who aren’t as interesting. I do like Jess, but they refuse to give her anything to do so far- she’s reduced to a football passed around between Finn and Rudy, apparently.
Rudy is essentially a rapist (he had sex with a girl he knew wasn’t with it) so….ur….
After the zombie episode in Season Three, my suspension of disbelief re: the massive body count finally ran out. Over twenty people have died in that community center, and no-one’s come looking for any of them? Police should be swarming round the place!
And on that subject, didn’t Alisha have a family? Were they told she died? And Simon had a family too, did he just abandon them? All these people seem to exist in a lonesome bubble, which would be fine if we didn’tknowthey had families…
Anyway. I don’t hate it or anything, but I dunno if I’ll bother with Series 5. If there is one…
