Like the Led Zeppelin classic, there’s a whole lotta love going on in the latest episode of Misfits. Our favourite chav, Kelly, has her tattoo retouched, while cheeky-boy Nathan stares aghast at a picture of a tattooed willy. As they leave the parlour though, Nathan suddenly wants to get to know Simon more intimately, a move that will launch a thousand slash fanfics by Saturday morning. But there’s something distinctly fishy about Nathan’s new tattoo… No longer the shy wallflower, he calmly explains that he’s come back from the future to ensure events take place as they should, and offering a small glimpse of what’s to come. This week’s instalment, then, confirms why this series goes from strength to strength. There’s a superpowered villain, after all, using his powers to… turn Nathan gay. Which isn’t as dastardly as Magneto exterminating the human race, perhaps. But this leads to a great confrontation where he’s defeated by an all too human weakness, a nut allergy. With such a big reveal, you’d expect the mystery to have lessened somewhat, but only the surface has been scratched. With bigger developments in store, it’s anyone guess as to where this is heading. Is Simon-future working towards the group’s best intentions? Or is it so he could finally score with Alisha? And why is he unaffected by her power? I fear I’m sounding like a broken record every week, but once again, Misfits delivers a top quality episode. Each moment pushes the story forward, and you find yourself actually giving a damn about what’s going to happen next. You can read our review of Misfits series 2, episode 2 here.
