Misfits

I am, I am :facepalm2:

Work... Don't you just hate it. Missed the start so I'll just watch it on 4oD

I was supposed to be working, usually do Sundays. They didn't ring me to confirm so I assumed I wasn't. They then rung me at 9.30pm asking why I hadn't turned up, and apparently had it on their records that they had called me at 12.01pm. Bull****, I was asleep, definitely didn't talk to me.

Bit pointless tying up that guy... Didn't solve anything. Just maybe 5 seconds of humilation when someone finds him and then he's back to his old ways.

Some people think far too much into these things. It's for comedic value, nothing more.

i just find rape/attempted rape quite distressing on TV shows/films etc.

Er, how is rape comedic? You're meant to take the show seriously to a certain degree...

So complain about that rather than the comedic consequences.

Murder and then just burying the bodies is absolutely fine though right? If you've been watching Misfits from the start, you really shouldn't be shocked by such topics (nor in any other show/film, many touch on these topics).

Him being tied up and humliated was comedic, why on earth would you think I meant otherwise?

I'm really not sure what parts of Misfits are supposed to be taken seriously. Refer to my previous post for other comments.

i wasn't complaining i was agreeing what he said... i was not offended in any way by the whole pinning him to the wall naked, it was just a thought i had when i saw it.. i am sorry if that has upset you in some way..

no obviously it's not fine in real life and never said it was? though PERSONALLY I find rape scenes really distressing... i don't feel the same about murder scenes (usually because they are quite unreal and not graphic). in movies where there is a full on rape scene i have to leave the room. why are you being so accusing about this? i can't help how i feel.

i am not shocked by these topics? what is wrong with you, i haven't said anything like that?

Oh. Regardless, I didn't think it was a good scene, nor did it work.

Errr.... I'm pretty sure Simon + Alisha's relationship wasn't meant to be taken as a joke (I thought that was fairly obvious but apparently not.) Nor were there many laughs during the...

Spoiler

I wasn't "shocked" by any of it, obviously I've seen much worse, but my main complaint was that it didn't really work. Poor episode, imo.

Good episode! Love Rudy. Made me warm to Curtis a lot more as well; I never really liked him that much as a character before.

Coach was hot.
Makes me miss Nathan a whole lot less :tongue:

You mean when the girls he coaches turn up and find out their coach is a rapist? It's pretty clear the writers mean for that to be the end of his raping - it's not a condoning of date rape.

Find out how? Because someone wrote it on his chest being actual evidence? They'd think whoever tied him up was the nutcase as they didn't call the police had it actually happened. His raping would be far from over.

They may have called the police as well...no evidence to say they didn't...

To say that they assaulted some guy? Plus tied him up half-naked? They would be the ones in big legal trouble in that scenerio! Plus, he never actually raped anyone, so they'd have nothing on him. I'm just saying, it was a pretty crappy ending. I was not pleased.
