Obligatory Thursday Skins Post

NAOMI ♥

Hopefully now people will stop calling her a callous, unfeeling bitch.

I didn't dislike the episode as much as I thought I would! Mostly because my main issue with Cook is that I don't think his shitty upbringing justifies or excuses his shitty behaviour, and this episode actually dealt with that. I'm surprised they're actually sending him to prison, though! I mean, what's going to happen to him in the rest of the series?

Things I didn't like: a lot of the dialogue was shit. And, I'm sorry, but I find it completely implausible that Cook comes from such a well-off background. He seems so obviously working class!

But, whatever. Most importantly, NEXT WEEK OMG. "I'm Katie fucking Fitch, who the fuck are you?" ♥ ♥ ♥ Although, Katie/Thomas?! WHAT. I don't know I feel about that, I'm still reeling.

I think the main strength this episode had over the previous one is that they just decided to tell it straight. If they hadn't told the Naomi/Sophia story backwards and made it into a 'mystery' I think it would have worked a lot better and made Naomi's motivation clearer. This episode showed that simple is better.

My main problem with Katie/Thomas right now is that I just don't see why they would like each other. I can't imagine it! Maybe I could see why Katie would like a nice, stable guy like Thomas, but apart from the UNF factor I can't see why Thomas would like Katie. I'm willing to be persuaded, but right now I'm just kind of baffled.

I did get your email! Haven't had time to read the story over again yet but I'll get it back to you as soon as I can.
