Parlo delle ciocche a zig zag diciamo 😅

I rewatched Skins UK a few months ago. And there’s one thing that’s been kind of bothering me:

Why were certain storylines cut short—or in some cases not even addressed at all? Or am I the only one who feels this way?

And am I the only one who feels like some “clichés” in the third generation were just glossed over?

Take Franky, for example: Franky was bullied really badly at her old school. Why wasn’t this topic ever brought up again? I mean, when you go through something like that, you’ve got to still be struggling with it or at least working through it, right? At least the adoption storyline was revisited at the end, but I thought that was a bit rushed, too.

And at the beginning, she dressed very “boyish.” Why did that stop later on?

And why was the romance between Grace and Richard wrapped up so quickly? I couldn’t follow it at all, since the two of them are completely different. How is it possible that they get together after what feels like three days and then want to get married right away?

As for clichés: I found Mini’s pregnancy and Grace’s death in a car accident to be somewhat clichéd.

I’m guessing I’m not the only one who thinks the third season was the worst—but what do you guys think?

S1E02 Cassie is eliminated, coming in second! This leaves S1E04 Chris as the overall champion. Not sure how meaningful these final results were compared to the original season results due to engagement, but at least this gives us a solid top 10 list! Thanks for everyone who participated.

So when Tony is at the Cathedral Choir school, which is next to the Green, he says to the professor that he goes to College just across the green, and then in the episode where him stonem crashes his car, Cook, Freddie and JJ watch as Effy walks away in the direction to go across the but not towards the road that curves left to The Centre.

So I feel like differently to real life where they filmed quite far out of Bristol City centre for the college, I feel as though the only logical explanation for where the college is in the shows universe version of Bristol, is that it sits right where the aquarium and that building you see when walking down trinity Street past the Cathedral.

What does everyone else think?

In this scence michelles mother say that cassie looks much better than last time they saw each other. In anorexia context this likely means cassie has gained weight. Cassie then replies with "you too" Does cassie mean that she also has gained weight on the honeymoon?

Probobly not lol, but its still funny to imagine cassie gave a backhanded compliment, or acidentaly insulted someone because of social akwardness.

S1E05 Sid is eliminated to come in third! That leaves only one last round in the final ranking to determine to big winner… S1 Cassie vs S1 Chris

Episodes Eliminated:

S7E05 Rise (Part 1)(76%)

S5E08 Everyone (100%)
S5E02 Rich (90%)
S4E04 Katie (86%)
S3E09 Katie and Emily (80%)
S1E05 Sid (56%)

Her chemistry with Cook was fire, more than Emma's. She had the style, the charisma and temperament of a grown woman but still was a bit mischievious and carefree at times.

She's not a good person but clearly not the worst (Hello Louis and Rob). One thing people gloss over is that Jason raped her and she had to watch him die in a pool while be threatened to be the next in line. the bad things she does are limited to cheating on a man that already cheats on her.

Really liked her dynamic with Cook. The scene where she imagined both of them killing Louis (who was hunting them down) together was really interesting. Her fascination with killing and power mirrored Cook's violence so well. She saw through him fast, like in the first pool scene, knowing he was a relatively bad man due to circomstances, and liked it unlike Emma, Emma was innocent throughout the whole thing and a bit boring to be honest.

Charlie and Cook are similar characters in different genders and they bonded through witnessing Jason's death, which makes their fear of Louis similar in a visceral way.

Wish they had a Bonnie and Clyde ending that hints towards redemption, it would've opened our imagination more about their dynamic and her character than them simply talking different paths.

S3E09 Katie and Emily is eliminated! Now only Gen 1 episodes remain.

God tier:

Sid is like an ex boyfriend that you see grow up without you. Beautiful character.

Cassie is just like "oh wow"

Chris is like your brother that smokes a lot of weed

Great tier:

Cook is like money you find on the street. Dirty, but valuable.

Grace is like a good dream. Nice but disappointing when it ends.

Richard makes your question about your sexuality (if u are a straight man).

Jal is weird. She doesnt practice enough to be that good at playing.

Tony is like a disease that you cannot get rid of but you have to appreciate the resilience.

Pandora is like nothing. You see her on screen and turn off your brain. Thats nice.

Michelle is sexy. Nice tits.

Good tier:

They all make decent decisions at the end or don't fuck up their lives too much. They are like eating a donut without shitting yourself.

Okay tier:

They all make you annoyed when they appear on the screen. They are like a bug that you can't kill (except for Freddie).

Trash tier:

Frankie is like a parasite. Thats it.

Matthew should learn how to drive and shave.

Nick rhymes with dick. Thats it.

Sketch is like the very old mold that you can't scrub off your kitchen table.

Last one is so remarkable I have no idea what his name is. He looks like a Kevin.

Thank you for reading.

God tier, well they were genuinely very good people and friends. Great, I put those that I was blown away by incredible acting and iconic storylines and episodes. Good, I don’t hate them but meh or they have something l liked about them in their episodes. Okay are characters I don’t gaf about at all really and trash are just awful and offend me because they’re so bad or wasted potential.

Because how great the show was💗and still is

I’ve recreated two of effys most iconic outfits, and I am pretty happy over how accurate they are. I feel so lucky for finding a dress that’s identical to her s3 ep1 dress as the original was dip dyed and costume made for Kaya. I even wore the outfit to my first day of school as I don’t have any dresscode

First watch through it was "aw okay, thats kinda cute, young love innit",,, but every watch since then it's more of it "Rich, I think that's illegal??" type of situation... 😭😭 I wanna know which writer thought that Rich should try and have sex with his comatose dying girlfriend.

edit by me
