And If You See Them...
Yesterday, I watched the first two-and-a-half episodes of Misfits with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reipan and hippyjolteon.
My main impression so far (apart from 'the opening credits are gorgeous'): it's a bit like Torchwood, in that it's about a group of generally-unadmirable characters dealing with weird things, but the execution is about eighty million times better. Also, seeing the first episode of Misfits shortly after watching the first episode of Dead Set is an incredibly weird experience, because the scene in which Misfits Kelly barges in to warn them about Tony is more or less exactly the scene in which Dead Set Kelly first breaks into the Big Brother house to get away from the zombies. TONY'S EYES EVEN LOOK THE SAME AS THE EYES OF THE DEAD SET ZOMBIES.
Conclusion: the Misfits need to find themselves trapped in a zombie apocalypse.
Kelly is probably my favourite character at the moment. Nathan is a brilliant creation but a difficult man to love.
Prior to our Misfits-watching, I discovered a typewritten note, addressed to my dad at a place he lived before I was born. It began thus:
Dear Mr [Riona's Dad]
I hope you will forgive me for approaching you in this manner but it has been brought to my attention by a reliable source that you have a serious interest in Freemasonry and that you are of sound and trustworthy character.
I therefore wish to invite you to our next meeting in which potential members of the Brotherhood will be invited to ask questions and we will have the opportunity to meet each other and perhaps consider taking things a step further.
Highly amused, I asked my parents about it. It turned out that my mum actually sent it to him when he was reading a book about Freemasonry. She insists that he was fooled and went around telling people about it; he insists he wasn't. Regardless of whether he was tricked or not, I sort of love that.
