I've been noticing a pattern in my fandoms. I often have a favourite guilty pleasure character. You know, the sort of character that you shouldn't like, but absolutely do. For me it's usually a character who is established as the most annoying, amoral or despicable character on the show, yet I find them irresistable and brilliant. This is the part

Oh and if you like flawed fucked up superheroes I really have to recommend 'Misfits' to you. That's what the whole show is about. I think you'd like it.

I'm not really meaning to bash Simon/Alisha, just show how the Nathan/Kelly relationship is often used to contrast it on the show. I mostly disliked SuperHoodie/Alisha, because UGH...I hated SuperHoodie and everything he brought to the story. However now that the story has shifted to real!Simon/Alisha, it's much more interesting and flawed too. I liked in the Christmas episode how Simon gets an inferiority complex over SuperHoodie and called Alisha out saying "You'll always love him more than me." It does seem like Simon's being used as a substitute. My main issue has always been that I don't want Simon to change because I love his character as a flawed little weirdo. It'd be the same if a heroic future Nathan character came along. I just like the Misfits characters being anti-social delinquents. It really appeals to me!

Alpert would fit the Krycek bill until S6 when they show removed his edge.
Your Misfits guy also looks like he could be Gaeta's brother!

I liked some of your moments about Nathan here. I love to hear him say the word, "cardigan". :-) Hee. I liked the Nathan/Kelly sex attempt too. Because, well, they tried and they were still them. And I love when he says, "So you're saying after all these weeks build-up we're not even going to shag?" Hee! Great question about TV relationships across the ( ... )

I love how Nathan says "cardigan" too. And the way he says "bar" and "heart" anything with a strong "ar" sound is great in an Irish accent.
He needs his own criminal code: Being Nathan. Under that code there is Driving While Nathan, Kidnapping with a Water Pistol, Disturbing the Peace with the Nathan Mouth, etc.
Lol. I was posting at Misfits fic last week and there are loads of stories labelled with 'Warnings: Nathan being Nathan' along with the usual warnings for sex, violence, death, etc. It's just funny that this character can be seen a possible offensive trigger just by being himself.
Oh and sorry for locking that post. I forgot to reopen it. I think I locked it at the time because I was getting too many responses to answer on another topic so I was just trying to slow things down.
