Obligatory Thursday Skins Post

Wow, that was the stupidest thing ever written.

Once again, Skins has taken a storyline that would have been interesting on its own - Effy recovering from a suicide attempt - and rendered it completely ridiculous by adding A PSYCHO WHO BRAINWASHED EFFY AND BEAT FREDDIE TO DEATH. I just. What is this? Jesus, I've disliked Freddie throughout and thought he was back on top douche form this episode, but even he deserved better than that. It's not ~edgy, Jamie Brittain, it's just bullshit.

The best part of this episode once again was Katie fucking Fitch - "She dumped you again" - but I can't even squee about that because I'm in mourning. Not for Freddie, but for the show I used to love.

Let's pray together bb. There's no way the finale is going to be anything but shit now, just because it just has to deal with what happened in this episode, and what's happened has been the worst possible thing to ever happen to this show - a totally stupid and unbelievable twist that would work well in every bad horror movie, not a teen drama that used to be good.

I totally get where the Radio Times guy was coming from now.

LOLL, I was so surprised when everyone was hating on the Radio Times guy - like, had people not been watching the show? Of course the finale's going to be shit.
