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.

Um, I don't read spoilers. Please don't post them in my LJ.

It was in an ad immediately following the show, I didn't think it was really a spoiler, sorry

Oh, was it in the trailer they showed straight after? I watched that but I didn't think I saw any of what you mentioned - possibly I just wasn't paying attention! Don't worry about it.
