    Skins has gone boring! Such a disappointment and a major let down compared to the last series. No real excitement or real enjoyment to be had now. No edge of your seat, how will the next one go etc . etc. More like waiting for it to finish. This DEFINATELY wasn't the case in Series 3. Just seems like they've failed in writing this one, trying to be too serious and focussing on an in depth story line on one character that isn't particularly interesting. I really hope that the rest of the series is much better, after the episode on Thomas being the most boring.moreless

    I really could. She, of course, stars as Emily the centric character in this episode of Skins. Her face, eyes, skin, lips, hair look so great... bravo to the crew! Each frame is like a work of art or better yet a new wallpaper for my computer. The lingering stench of the plot from the last episode wraps on here and spreads its gangrene of unbelievability. Noami after trying so hard to get Emily to come out with her(the closet) now she feels trapped because Emily wants to go to Mexico for a summer break. So Noami hooks up with an army brat who feels trapped by her father and makes out with her on a train. Then sells her MDMH. Then the army brat commits suicide. I dunno... its bad. Shares the same theme as the last episode. Thomas scores with an unrealistic character tells Pandora about it Pandora breaks up with Thomas. Except, this time Emily forgives Noami because of a pep talk from daddy( afterall they only made out and the army brat was the one that got weird). Personally, I see more deception and underhandedness from Noami. She is a control freak( not good enough for my angel ;_; ). I give it fair marks for superficial reason listed above.moreless

  • Drama, witty one-liners and fantastic acting. This is what Skins is all about.

    First of all. Wow. Lily Loveless and Kat Prescott really pulled out all the stops in this episode. I though Merv Lukeba's performance would be a tough one to top after the first episode, but they managed it. They have a lot more confidence this series and are just amazing to watch.

    Throughout the episode, there were plenty of times where my heart actually ached for Emily. I truly felt the raw emotion that was being put across in this episode. It was also very clever how the plot gradually unfolded, at just the right pace, climaxing on the rooftop scene and then slowing right down at the end, leaving you with a glimmer of hope for Emily and Naomi.

    Lots of people I know are criticizing this episode because Naomi and Emily aren't shown as the perfect couple like everyone wanted. But think about it, how boring would it be to just watch them all loved up for an hour, not progressing their relationship in any way. Not that I would complain, I just love drama so this makes it a lot more interesting in my opinion.

    Also, the quotability of this episode is off the scale. So many hilarious one liners such as "you're very stalkable", "dance? muff monkey?", "eat your flan." and "he's gay as a window!". The witty banter is one of the things I love most about the way Skins is written.

    In conclusion, yes, it's heartbreaking, but it keeps you wanting more, which is the formula to any successful TV show. Bravo!moreless

    Last season Emily was probably my favourite character so I was glad she got her own episode so early on. She's a likable character and you can understand everything she feels. The whole storyline between her and Naomi was intriguing, intense and emotional. I love Naomi too but she gives a lot of mixed singles, doesn't she!?

    I do get that she might feel trapped as we saw how independent she likes to be in the last series but sometimes she's too snappy - I mean telling Emily 'to mind your own business' after lying to the police is little stupid. I liked how throughout we did see them happy like at there house in the Mexican outfits and at the start with the goggles.

    The writers did a great job with the whole mystery aspect to the episode and the conclusion was really intense. The scene on top of the roof was painful to watch but in a good way. Kinda heart breaking. The reveal about Naomi cheating with Sophia was cleverly done with the drawings.

    The aftermath was full of excellent acting by Kat and Lily who were completely believable. I like Naomi but I'm finding it hard not to doubt her now...especially since she's kissing Cook in the 'next time'. The Fitch family stuff was very entertaining. The mum and dad were hilarious with there dinner table antics.

    I liked how Rob (the dad) talked to Emily about going back to Naomi, that was a good moment between them. Weirdly I didn't notice the whole James/Dress situation at the table...wtf? Katie hasn't changed that much...she's either being totally smug or being needy with Emily. I also like the Effy/Freddie conversation and the end (please god I hope so) of the love triangle. If I'm honest, the next episode doesn't look that great. Cook had the worst episode last season...hopefully I'll be surprised but I doubt it somehow. So yeah, Skins S4 is off to a brilliant start.moreless

    first of all i love emily, she was the best character in the third season and the whole Fitch family was a pleasure to watch. now... this episode had its ups and downs, a lot of downs tho. the whole mistery about the suicide... i didnt really care, i thought it was kinda boring. Skins is usually a show about teenagers, so about crime and mistery, anyways, those parts were boring, and the whole Naomi cheating on Emily felt unnessesary. i was interested on the whole family part but i guess she doesnt live with them anymore, the scenes with Katie were good tho. although katies boyfirend is also boring! jesus! surprisingly i ended up liking Effy/Freddie & Katie scenes more interesting than Emilys. so.. it was great as it used to be. but at least it was better than Thomas'. which was soo borring and predictable. what happed to skins? i hope they get back on track. the first episodes of last season werent good either but it got great, hope this happens now. Cook comes next and then Katie :) looking forward to those!moreless
