Obligatory Thursday Skins Post

[botherd]

Ohhh, Jesus. If you'd told me that I'd end up crying my eyes out over a Freddie episode, I wouldn't have believed you.

I don't even know what to say. I have thoughts about how the episode worked, and how the series is shaping up as a whole, but they were all formulated before that happened, and now I can't concentrate on anything else. Just, fuck. Effy.

(Still crying.)

I would have cried (I say this about every episode and it still stands) but watching it with my family just makes this stuff awkward.

Oh, I can't imagine watching it with my family! I always make sure I watch it alone.

One television, a sister and mother who love Skins and the impatience of having to wait for downloads means these kind of things are necessary in my household. That said, they'd still laugh at me if I cried so I've been an emotional wreck after the majority of s4 episodes with no outlet. :)

What happened? Everyone is WTF-ing all over the place.

Effy slit her wrists. (But she's still alive!)

OMGGG. DAMN IT FREDDIE, SEE WHAT YOU NOT SHOWERING DOES TO PEOPLE?

I actually wasn't bored at all! Well, maybe a bit at the beginning, but there was enough Effy to keep me interested. It was depressing as hell, but I still really liked it.

I havent seen it yet, can't be bothered :D so from the reactions so far...tis good?

You should watch it! IDK, a lot of people seemed not to like it but I did.

I skimmed this episode because my Freddie-hate makes me unable to watch him for an extended period of time, but...

man, my stomach turned at the Effy slitting her wrists thing. I feel like I have to re watch it just to understand what's going on with Effy.

The Doctor T Love was AWFUL. Who thinks that's funny? OTOH, I liked the grandfather character and even sorta enjoyed Freddie's scenes with him.


Katie's episode made me cry. This episode left me annoyed (at Freddie) and numb(at Effy). Effy's episode is going to be a headfuck (I never thought I'd say this, but thank fuck for JJ's episode next week)

This ep actually made me feel for Freddie quite a bit, and I say that as someone who has never liked him. I think it's worth watching all the way through.

I liked Dr T Love not for the character but because it's WILL YOUNG and I love him.

I'm actually annoyed that we have JJ's episode before Effy's. Not that I don't like him, but I hate that they get me all interested in a storyline and then ignore it for a bit while they focus on someone else.

My main concern for the remaining episodes is that they have very little time to resolve the Effy and Naomily story lines satisfactorily and with my hoped for happyish endings.

Yeah, that's my main concern as well, and that's why I've been so annoyed that Naomi's not getting her own episode. Hopefully she'll have enough screentime in the finale to do her storyline justice. I think it's good that Effy still has her whole episode left to hopefully resolve her storyline but it'll probably be a bit rushed.
