History Headscratchers / Misfits

* In Episode 6 the gang becomes famous due to their powers. This leads to Alisha having a conversation with Nathan about their fame and how Simon was right about it not being the right path. All while Simon was in the room, invisible. She quotes something Future!Simon said as if Present!Simon said it, then leaves. Simon, confused, follows her to Future!Simon's flat where he finds out from Alisha that Superhoodie was [[FutureBadass him from the future]]. By the end of the episode, the [[KillEmAll whole cast but Curtis dies]], leading Curtis to hit the ResetButton to before any of the fame occurred. So now nobody knows about their powers, meaning that their fame, the conversation Simon eavesdropped on between Alisha and Nathan, and Simon finding out about Superhoodie never happened. And yet in the next episode Simon and Alisha are a couple and Simon is training and comparing himself to Superhoodie. What? Did I miss something here?

* Why did Milk Guy act like it was some great success in forcing Nathan to be paralyzed by constricting his cerebral cortex? He just finished recovering from shooting himself in the head. All it would take it another bullet to knock the cheese out of the way, and he would have been back to normal.

** Look closely at the storm: it seems to have a trail at the bottom. This troper thinks that it was generated through some sort of storm-making machine on Earth, somewhat similar to the food machine from Film/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs.

** It could also imply he’s just survived a mauling. The wolf itself possibly isn’t significant so much as the way it signifies a potentially deadly threat.

* One of the biggest headscratchers of all: Where did the storm come from? There have been a few theories and so forth but seeing as far as im aware we aren't getting anymore Misfits, where do you think it came from?
* How come Kelly is the one who killed two people by hitting them with hard objects on the head, and doesn't understand that a simple fire extinguisher on the head can kill someone? They are always surprised, but it's common sense that when heavy objects hit on someone's skull, that person usually...well..doesn't survive ? She should think about hitting people with hard objects on the stomach, or ribs, before killing them and acting all surprised afterwards...

* Jess has very classic, very useful power that's being almost laughably ignored, considering the nature of the program. In addition addition to the formentioned 5.1 incidents, in 5.5 when Leah downloads herself into Alex and is chasing everyone with a nail gun, Jess (OF ALL PEOPLE) nearly loses an eye due to a nail through a peephole. One of the others might have understandably gone up to the door, but everyone would have been safer if she'd just looked through the walls to see if Alex was still out there.

* How could the empowering have remained a secret for so long? Surely Jordan (the cheese guy) couldn't have been the only one stupid enough to expose their powers or have them exposed by accident? We see that even babies and animals get them, and yet no public discharges? That is if none of the empowered happened to be from authorities, so they could start searching for the others properly.

** In all fairness, they weren't the only ones or even the worst offenders. At least their powers could be troublesome. But someone sold perfectly good telekinesis and reality warping! I suppose the promise of easy cash right there and then can be more alluring than the uncertain prospective of cashing in on their powers, which, more likely or not, would force them to expose themselves, which as we've already seen could go terribly wrong.

** Prior to community service but after his crime, he was [[spoiler: in a psychiatric ward. It's unlikely he was under much scrutiny for his sartorial choices there, and it may have even influenced his habits: he always buttons his shirts up right to the neck, wears long sleeves and ark colours, etc. While it works to create a visual joke on Ian Curtis, it's also at least a little reminiscent of institutional uniforms.

* Somewhere in Episode 5 they mention that it has only been two weks since the storm. Then could Kelly's hair grow back so fast? Yeah, there was some serious meddling in the timestream in between, and at first I thought that the whole bald incident simply dissolved and didn't happenned in this variant, but no - Nathan refers to it in S2.

** Simon's shirt, trousers, shoes and denim jacket combination doesn't really fit the hoodies, trainers, and trackies of the council estate on which the series is set, but it's hardly going around in fancy dress either. He looks smart, but not garish enough to attract attention. Kids on the estate might notice him, but no more than they'd notice any other young adult who wasn't a tracksuit hooligan.

** If it was, it would still be there now. [[TheyJustDidntCare Misfits doesn't seem to concern itself with such things.]]
