Intensity Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 The first series although flawed was watchable. The second series is fucking garbage. They have attempted to combine arthouse film elements to a teenage drama and have failed miserably. In other words: Fuck Skins.
Ryan Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Well, I went to school with Mike Bailey (Sid), and yesterday I saw him at the pub. We recognised eachother..
Haver Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I have always given this show a wide berth. It's not real enough.
Daft Posted March 6, 2008 Author Posted March 6, 2008 Just saw episode 3, I think. Awesome episode. The ending with Sid and Cassie and Michelle was....aaaaaarggh!! (I can describe it in words...just that sound.)
The fish Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Just saw episode 3, I think. Awesome episode. The ending with Sid and Cassie and Michelle was....aaaaaarggh!! (I can describe it in words...just that sound.) That episode was something of a rollercoaster of emotion, which makes a nice change after the unbelievably sad previous one.
Daft Posted March 6, 2008 Author Posted March 6, 2008 Yeah, definitely! Also that beach looked way too nice...I reckon it was freezing! :p
chairdriver Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 I hate really cliched things that would never happen though. Why would Cassie ever just sit in his room waiting for him? Realistically she'd be downstairs talking to his mum or something. I loved how Scarlett was randomly a really amazing singer aswell. Felt funny.
Slaggis Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 I loved that epsisode. Best one of the new series so far. Cassie is back!!!!!!!

Since when does cassie get involved in social interaction? you know she doesn't, staying in sids room fitted perfectly with her character, it also explains why his mum dropped the plate as she let cassie in.
killthenet Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 I was pretty pissed off that they used Electrelane and Pavement in the last episode. The Sid one was surprisingly good I thought, but the Michelle episode was back to its confused worst.
Daft Posted March 7, 2008 Author Posted March 7, 2008 I actually much preferred Michelle's episode. It was incredibly predictable what was going to happen to Sid's dad in the previous episode. I'm liking the new series but the episodes have been a bit disjointed relative to each other imo.
Platty Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Next weeks one looks pretty good. The return of Cassie and the teacher! Woop!
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 The scene where Sid and Tony are in the club, with Sid breaking down was one of the best moments of the show so far. Truely heartbreaking.
Slaggis Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Episode 5 (Just on E4) was awesome! Cassie is back, and she's gone bad! Skins = Awesome.
Platty Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Episode 5 (Just on E4) was awesome! Cassie is back, and she's gone bad! Skins = Awesome. WAS awesome? It's still on! Loving Cassie and god damn that teacher is so hot.
Slaggis Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 WAS awesome? It's still on! Loving Cassie and god damn that teacher is so hot. Lol I know, It's just so good! Fantastic episode.
Rummy Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Good episode, preferred it to last week's. Sad about the whole sid&mel thing, it should be sid&cass! I feel a bit sorry for Tony as well, but I'm really liking the way he's been changed, cos he jarred me no end in the last series. Nice to see Angie back, she's well fit but I wasn't liking Cassie having gone a bit psycho, but you can't blame her given what Sid's done!
The fish Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I just watched last night's episode on 4OD, and it's the best episode yet. I love Chris and Jal, so the ending made me very happy, especially the drawing. Also, Cassie is a complete bitch (not expected, eh?), and you have to feel sorry for Tony. I fact, Tony kind of makes you think - regardless of how shit your situation is, he's worse off.

And at the end of ep5, he wants to return to the way he was =/

And at the end of ep5, he wants to return to the way he was =/ I know, but you still have to feel sorry for the guy - he got hit by a fricking bus, and now can't even swim.
DomJcg Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I know, but you still have to feel sorry for the guy - he got hit by a fricking bus, and now can't even swim. I agree, it's bad he got hit by a bus, but: Cheated on michelle many times, When michelle had another boyfriend he got with the boyfriends sister and took suggestive photos of her and sent them to michelle from her boyfriends phone Beat up sid Made out with maxxie with michelle 'asleep' in the same room
chairdriver Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 I absolutely love. I See Who You Are by Bjork is played in the background at one point in the episode, where Cassie is doing her witchcraft. I love.

A kiss wouldn't have been so bad. But giving another guy a bj, whilst your girlfriend is in the same room isn't really a good idea. :p -- There's only 2/3 episodes left now, 'tis such a short series again.
yoyo Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 There's only 2/3 episodes left now, 'tis such a short series again. Actually there's 5 episodes left, We're only at the midpoint through the season now. And it's actually not too bad at all for a British comedy series, most only have 6-8 episodes per season.
