But overall very good episode, had a good story and kelly definately had the best lines.
yeah i thought it was pretty decent as well, even if i did find it slightly predictable that the guy hadn't really given curtis the power at the end and would give it to someone else for them to use and save the day.
as far as the accent's and language goes i'm not sure it was unrealistic as i don't think it necessarily follows that just because we lost the war that we would be speaking german, i agree it's probably pretty likely we would be but i don't think it's definite that we would
i think the part that was slightly more unbeleivable for me was when the nazi cpt or whoever he was and all the other soldiers thought a can that kelly picked up off the floor a few feet in front of them and rolled their way was a grenade, and also when they hijacked the cars and suddenly they were all expert marksmen but those two things didn't make me think it was a bad episode or anything, they just caused me to go "what?!?" for a couple seconds

I actually thought they were bringing the time travel power back into the series for a minute at the end, but i can see why they didn`t that power is basically a big reset button so it`s better without it,
and i like that in the true style of misfits that he said he was going to put the power in his pet lizard lol and it did show just how crap curtis was with the power when the old guy and kelly can both go back to world war 2 era first try and he could barely use it lol.
Ok true it probably wouldn`t be guaranteed that the german language would of taken over, very likely though.
It`s not that unlikely really because a soldier is trained to react fast at the first sign, which would explain why they scattered it`s soldiers instinct and they did realise pretty fast and didn`t give that much escape time.

not sure i agree about the training, my training did make me react quickly
but only if i was in certain situations for example a grenade sized object flying round a corner or over a wall, not when someone just a little in front of me clearly and in plain sight bends down, picks up a can and rolls it towards me lol
but that is part of what makes misfits good it's never that serious and a lot of the time is a little tongue in cheek.
i do admire the way they keep coming up with new storys though, i mean by this point in hero's they already done the same story a few different times lol

Both the writing and the performances ensure that everything but the preposterous central premise remains entirely believableIt is a very well written program, interestingly i read before that originally the character of simon was supposed to turn evil and be killed off on the first series, but they changed their mind, glad they did he is a good character.

Simon is distracting, its a dark story and I dont feel it adds anything to the programme, its better as episodic.
Do you think they will end up changing powers every series? What method will achieve that?
