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.

It makes me so sad to think about how good it used to be, and what it's become. I can't believe it's the same show that gave us the brilliance of Naomi's episode last year.

exactly, it's not the same. basically i have decided this whole series didnt happen. skins ended with effy, cook and freddy on the boat. with almost all of them happy. but now it will end with all of them being depressed -- sorry wasn't skins like, funny once? dead to me.
