Okay, f-list you were right ...
Jul. 25th, 2009 01:22 pmSkins is pretty effing good!
1. OMG, Katie is so fucking unlikable. Although, it does crack me up that, "You promised it wasn't true" girl has a giant fucking crush on Effy. I mean, Emily's a big 'ol Lez (and I LOVE her), but Katie has been like all up in Effy's gorgeous face for all of the series as well. Methinks, it runs a little in the family, lol.
2. EMILY!!!! I love Emily so much. She's like a this cute little puppy dog! I just want to hug her, and go for bikes rides with her, and talk about "oils and stuff"! Such a precious, adorable, little thing. And so deliciously, amazingly gay.
3. Naomi. I love her, althought I'm getting mad at her for constantly kicking Emily!Puppy when she happy. She gets some great lines, though and is wicked smart. Her summation of Hamlet and her asseration that sililoquays are just Shakespearean masturbation cemented by love for her. And I am so relieved that she didn't sleep with Cook.
4. Effy, Effy, Effy. Effy cracks me up. She gets some great lines. "I don't try." "Everyone's in love with me", lol. She breaks my heart though too. Effy/Cook (hell, Cook/Everyone) makes me shudder uncontrollably. Effy, darling, you can do so much better. Especially since you're willing to put out. Upgrade, darling. Upgrade! Still, j'adore. Sexdelario earns her nickname.
5. Panda is one adorable weirdo. I loved her at the beginning, and her and her pot!tea drinking, chainsaw collection having aunt cracked me up. I am very disappointed in her continuing to sleep with Cook even though Thomas is back. I don't hold giving it up to Cook against her, but going back for more after Thomas was back *finger wag* Do not like Panda. You are Stupid Poo with that move. We'll see if the last few episodes can endear you to me again.
6. Thomas = love. I adore that kid, and I LOVED him and Panda until ... well, see #5
7. Freddie why are you always so DIRTY? I know you're a teenage boy, but goddamn, wash your clothes! Seriously, you are super, ridiculously good looking, but I would not let you sit on anything in my house, let alone sit on you! I was so happy that you swam out to Effy that time so that you were CLEAN when you kissed her. Seriously, BATHE you handsome bastard. And yes, yes he is a fun sponge.
8. Cook ... the less said the better. I don't hate him, but I don't love him. And every time I start to like him, he does something unbearably douchey and I go back to disliking him again. Also, like Freddie, he needs to wash his clothes!
9. JJ, is adorable. I love him. And I really liked how all of the music was classical in his episode. Also, having "friends" like his, would totally drive anyway a little batty. I also really liked him and Emily supporting each other (and her "I'm gay" speech, which was brilliant). I must confess, as adorable as I find them and as much as I liked them together, Emily giving him a "special parting gift" kinda bugged. They were the two kids on the show that I thought would treat sex like it was something special instead of just a way to kill time, and so I was a wee bit disappointed in both. With Freddie the Romantic giving up and boning Katie, and Panda learning all the wrong lessons for Effy and boning Cook, I was just like, "Good God, can one of these kids not act like a total whore." JJ's whole episode was all I could hear in my head was, "My body is a movie and your penis is the star".
10. Naomily are amazingly hot together. The two actress have excellent chemistry. I still have the Effy, Katie and Emily and Everyone episodes to go, but Naomi better get her ass in gear and apologize to Emily!Puppy or I'm going to be very upset with her. I think I broke my squee-o-meter while actually watching them on screen though, so I find myself with little to say about them. I simply smile dreamily to myself.
Also, I am feeling strangely depressed today (I swear to God, nothing depressing has happened to me. Yesterday was actually tons of fun and today I've only been awake for like three hours and they've been fine, and yet ...) so comment with funny .gifs and/or pics or videos you have to cheer me up pls!
Depressed!bear doesn't feel like being depressed and needs a few laughs!

Date: 2009-07-27 05:54 pm (UTC)This! That first episode, Katie was so seriously crushing on Effy that I was like, "but I thought the other one was the gay twin!" And she just kept on practically humping Effy's leg every time they were on screen together after that. I was like, "pot, meet kettle ... YOU'RE BOTH BLACK!"
Naomi is my favourite character, no question. I know it's kind of frustrating watching her mess Emily about, but I think it's really realistic.
I like Naomi a lot. She's smart and sassy, there's no way I couldn't love her. And she redeemed herself in the end. If she'd dicked around with Emily for a while longer she might have been on my shit list, but as it was, like you said I think her arc was realistic and she manned up at the end and got the girl. Nothing but love, for Naomi Campbell (it took me way to long to get that joke), nothing but love.
Thomas is another one who I feel was underused. Even with Panda, he wasn't given much to do.
This! They didn't even explain how he was suddenly attending classes after he came back. I really like him, but it's obvious the writers have NO idea what to do with his character.
Panda and JJ I could take or leave. I liked Panda in Effy's ep in S2, but I'm not sure the writers knew what to do with her over the span of a whole season. (I kind of love that she and Effy are friends, though.)
I liked Panda at the beginning, but that love wore off big time as the season wore on. I think you're right and they really don't know what to do with her for a full season, so they just ended up screwing her character up for something to do.
And I did love that she and Effy were friends because they are so different, that it was so awesome that they could be BFFs. But then that got screwed up at the end too.
Seriously, it's hard for me to conjure up any Panda love right now.
PS I take it you still think Meg is the ugly twin?
The less attractive twin, yes. I don't think Meg is ugly, I just think that Kat is better looking.
Also, I fucking LOATHE Katie. I hate her with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. I hate Katie more than Cook. I would fuck Cook before I'd go out for pancakes with Katie. That's how much I dislike the character. And unfortunately, Meg suffers because of my intense Katie dislike.
So yeah, it's still Emily/Kat FTW with me.

Date: 2009-07-27 06:05 pm (UTC)See, it's bizarre. Because there has been so much awesome fic written about Katie (paired with all sorts of people) that I find it hard to remember what's canon and what's fanon.
To be honest, I think I'm in for a disappointment when S4 rolls around and Katie isn't as awesome as I think she is and the writers don't do anything with her.
