Ughhhhh, this is the longest day at work ever.

(Comic from Hyperbole and a Half, obviously.)

THIS WAS MY MORNING. Dear coworker, I know we're sort of friends, or at least we get on quite well, but that doesn't mean I want to hear your endless angsting about this woman you were sort of seeing but who now seems to be ignoring you. MAYBE SHE WON'T TEXT YOU BACK BECAUSE YOU HAVE A TENDENCY TO BORE PEOPLE WITH YOUR ENDLESS OVERANALYSIS OF TRIVIAL SHIT.

Also my main task today has been to type up the contents of approximately 250-300 post-it notes that were generated at this stupid training day thing we had yesterday. FUN TIMES. Pretty much the only thing keeping me going today is the thought that I have US!Skins all downloaded and waiting for me when I get back home. I'm actually not expecting much at all from the pilot - I basically consider it a bit of necessary weirdness that we have to endure before we get to the good stuff - but I'm still excited to watch it. (I haven't read anyone's reaction posts yet, so I have no idea how well it's gone down in fandom as a whole.) I was under the impression that there were going to be a few episodes that were pretty much identical to the original series, but I guess with Tea's ep up next it's going to be all new from then on? IDK, maybe it'll all end up sucking but right now I'm significantly more excited for it than for UK!Skins Gen 3.

I was under the impression that there were going to be a few episodes that were pretty much identical to the original series, but I guess with Tea's ep up next it's going to be all new from then on?

Tony and Chris' episodes are going to be the same as the UK ones and Stanley's is going to have ~shades of Sid's episode, but that's it. I actually have no idea how closely related Chris' episode will be to the original, but the general idea in intact, I guess.

Well, that's not so bad; at one point I think I heard that about four episodes would be identical, so I'm glad it's not that much. I guess for Chris's ep they'll keep his main plotline the same but the secondary plots will no doubt have diverged from the original at that point.

Do you know the order of the episodes? I assume they'll have shifted around a bit from the original if Tea has 1x02.

Um, I believe the order is ...

101 - Tony
102 - Tea
103 - Chris
104 - Daisy (I heard it was hers, Idk for sure)
105 - Stanley
106 - ?
107 - ?
108 - ?
109 - ?
110 - Eura

Abbud's is the camping trip episode, it must be 106 or 107, I think. Everyone keeps saying 110 is Eura's episode, but I think Eura is 109 and Everyone/Finale will be 110. Otherwise Idk how it would make sense.

Eta: I'm gonna guess and say Michelle is 106, since in 105 she finds out about Tony/Tabitha. So then I guess Abbud may be 107. I can't see his being any later than that.

Possibly Daisy has a late season episode and Cadie's episode is 104. It's very hard to tell.

Thanks! I think 110 must be Everyone too, unless someone gets two episodes? Seems unlikely, although at a stretch I could see Tony getting two. Hopefully they'll release the whole list soon.

Someone said that the teacher, Tina get an episode, but I have like, zero belief in that. But perhaps it is a ~random who gets an episode?

Is Tina the equivalent of Angie? Anyway, yeah, I refuse to believe that Skins would give a teacher an episode. It would just be wrong. I guess it could be a random though.

Yeah, Tina = Angie. It wouldn't make sense to give it to a teacher. I could see them giving an episode to Betty, but that would be kind of weird. I still think 109 is Eura's episode and 110 is the finale/Everyone.
