20 days! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE SURVIVED THIS EPIC HIATUS.

So it looks like the first episode of Skins series four is about Thomas. I'm... pleased, I think. I think I'm pleased? The thing is, I like Thomas and I think he was criminally underused last series, but I'm... not actually all that interested in him. Or maybe it's that I'm not invested in him. So I don't mind him getting the first episode, and I really hope it's good (sounds like it is), but I'm not sure I want him to get a big story arc over the whole series.

I think my main worry is that JJ, who I like a whole lot more, is going to get sidelined. I'd be amazed if Effy, Freddie, Cook, Naomi, and Emily didn't each get individual episodes, and we know that Thomas and Katie (yay!) do, and that's seven. If the finale is Everyone, that means no episodes for JJ and Pandora. Obviously it might not shake out like that, maybe some people are sharing episodes, but that's my guess at the most likely scenario.

So, yeah. Looking forward to Thomas' episode, but hoping he doesn't take screentime away from my favourites. (He's quite welcome to take screentime away from Cook and Freddie, but I seriously doubt that'll happen.)

I'm not too fussed about Thomas at the moment, but I feel that might just be due to the fact that we haven't really seen much of him and am theerfore not invested in him, like you said. I think he's going to get much more screen time this series so we'll see.

If Freddie gets his own episode and JJ doesn't, I'm going to be so pissed :( I love JJ.

I agree, JJ >>>>>> Freddie, but I don't know if the writers agree. :(

I hope I do end up liking Thomas more, but I'll probably just resent him if my favourite characters are sidelined and he's not.
