Obligatory Thursday Skins Post

Okay, I... am not sure how I feel about this episode. I think I need to watch it again to collect my thoughts but right now... IDK. :/

One thing I UNRESERVEDLY LOVED: Katie asking Emily to stay. OMG, that whole scene had me flailing so hard! TWINS ♥

And, you know, Emily and Naomi had some cute moments too! Like the goggles, and "ours", and the random Mexican party. (Does Naomi just have ponchos and fake moustaches lying around? LOL FOREVER.) But they were kind of overwhelmed by the stupid manufactured angst which didn't even seem NECESSARY. You want to write a story with Naomi cheating and Emily getting jealous? Fine. You don't need to add a SUICIDAL STALKER to that mix. (Also, lol, I already wrote Naomi cheating on Emily at an open day interview. FIRST YOU STEAL NAOMI & EFFY ON DECKCHAIRS FROM ME, NOW YOU STEAL THIS.) I don't know, maybe I'll appreciate it more when I watch it a second time.

I also kind of hated that Emily managed to make Sophia's death All About Emily. Like, her brother was RIGHT THERE, upset because his sister KILLED HERSELF, but instead it's all about Emily's angst? Blah. I kind of feel like they had a potentially really interesting story here with Sophia and Naomi and they just told it completely the wrong way.

On a shallow note, I still hate Naomi's hair. Mostly I just find it hard to see her as the same Naomi she was last series. :(

Freddie was such a self-centred douche when Emily was trying to talk to him, SURPRISE. And, I'm sorry, but I hate Cook and am not looking forward to his episode next week. (PLEASE tell me that wasn't Cook/Naomi in the trailer. DNW.)

I'm not even going to talk about Freffy. Although I appreciated Effy's screentime nonetheless. As for Katie's new boyfriend, THAT NEVER HAPPENED OKAY HE DOESN'T EXIST LALALA I'M NOT LISTENING. And, I'm starting to worry that we're not going to get the epic Katie/Effy confrontation that we NEED. Maybe in Katie's ep?

I feel like I'm being really negative, when I didn't actually dislike it all that much? Definitely needs a rewatch.

Random note to finish: I have the same toothbrush as Naomi!

I was so disappointed I couldn't even ptoperly sleep tonight. At this point, I don't want Emily to forgive Naomi at all, like ever, because the trust is gone and to make matters even worse Naomi was a hypocritical lying cunt about it all. And the cheating didn't even happen on impulse, instead Naomi instigated it, took the girl home and presumably slept with her there, all while not being drunk in the slightest. How could she look Emily in the eye after this? Not to mention I really don't care under which circumstances the CN kiss next week happens, right now Naomi shouldn't be kissing anyone, no matter how troubled she is.

This stupid cheating plot twist is really getting old, apart from Maxxie/whatshisboyfriend and ironically Anwar/Sketch every couple had to deal with cheating, which isn't realistic and just plain ass lazy writing. A lot didn't really add up in this episode either, like why would Naomi sell(?) drugs to a girl she's 'familiar' with and then make out with Emily without being concerned about the truth coming out? She wasn't really affected by her death either, which I found strange, especially considering it was heavily implied that Naomi was the last reason this poor girl needed to kill herself :(

Actually, one of the pictures Sophia drew shows them drinking wine. Not that it magically makes everything better if they were drunk, but I think it maybe softens the blow.

I think Naomi was affected by Sophia's death, but she's the sort of person who hates to show her emotions so she just sort of closes down and puts on this uncaring front to protect herself from being vulnerable.
