hardparadeRIGHT. SO. SKINS.
HI SO CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT HOW COOK FULLY KISSED FREDDIE ON THE MOUTH???
During their little back and forth 'I'm so going to punch you only not really' thing, I was literally thinking, "God, these two need to MAKE OUT ALREADY." And then--just--OH MY GOD, SKINS, THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOU. ♥
As if all the 'I fucking love you's and the "Apart from those times when my cock's actually up your arse" (or whatever Cook said) thing, weren't enough, we get that. A kiss. A KISS ON THE LIPS. THEY ARE CANON. THEY ARE CANON, YOU GUYS, I AM NOT ACCEPTING ANYTHING ELSE. REMEMBER WHEN TONY KISSED SID ON THE LIPS LAST SEASON? THIS IS LIKE THAT. OMG.
*attempts to calm down*
Anyway, because of that, I loved this episode, despite the fact that Freddie is still boring. And also annoyingly angsty over some rather insignificant things? I don't hate him or anything, he's just dull, still. I thought my opinion would change when we got to see his episode, but...eh.
The thing is, I kind of...I kind of want Freddie/Karen hate!sex. BECAUSE I AM A BAD PERSON. But like, it's not just me and my incest-mind, is it? I mean, Skins has a bit of a thing about the incestuous brother/sister relationship, right? Because...within like the first five minutes he was telling her she was sexy. (Being forced to, but still.) And what kind of brother pulls his sister's trousers down when he's angry at her? And also the whole calling-her-a-whore thing, idk, it was hot, I'm a creep, let's move on.
JJ. Is awesome. And if you don't find him adorable, you officially have no heart. I just want to give him a really, really big hug. And I also maybe want him to be my boyfriend, but I think that a relationship between two people that socially awkward would probably be pretty doomed. But still! ADORABLE. He calls Freddie 'Freddie-brek'! And BREATHES FIRE. I can't wait for his episode, I want to find out more about this possible-autism he's got going (apparently).
'Pucking' - CHRIS REFERENCE, HOORAY. Also, in that scene...okay I think I might have been seeing things, but did it say 'INCEST' on a piece of paper stuck on the wall behind Freddie's head? I caught like, a glimpse, and I swear that's what it looked like. OR DO I JUST HAVE INCEST ON THE BRAIN AT ALL TIMES. PROBABLY THIS.
I absolutely ADORE Naomi for her 'soliloquy = wanking' observation. Speaking of funny lines, this episode had so many great throwaway ones that weren't like HEY, FIND THIS FUNNY. I love it when Skins does that. Like Cook saying he needed to stop thinking about Dickens after the Hamlet discussion, ahaha, oh dear. And Mr. Stonem's "DON'T YOU DARE USE 'CUNT' AND 'OXFAM' IN THE SAME SENTENCE." And the judge guy (Rich Fulcher!!) when he was on the phone being like "...yeah, and go around raping people...yeah," or whatever. Fantastic.
What I really DIDN'T like, predictably, was the Freddie/Effy stuff. It's boring and it's cliché. I assume when Effy was all "I don't think I can--" she meant, like, I don't think I can ~open up to you~. Like, I get where they're going, I think. She has sex a lot and it never means anything(except for when it's with Tony ♥) because she doesn't ever actually develop proper feelings for the person, but blah blah, she's actually starting to like Freddie, so she's distancing herself, in what she thinks is the best way possible (i.e. fucking his best friend) but he's so persistant that it won't matter, etc etc.
I wouldn't usually be bothered by the boring/cliché thing, except that a) it's Skins and I expect better, and b) Effy's my favourite and she's my favourite because she's interesting, so by giving her this storyline, they're fucking that up. :( Idk. Maybe I'd like the idea more if I liked Freddie, but, I just can't see why FREDDIE would be the guy to make her change like this. But I don't know, it's early days, maybe it'll get better. If a threesome happens, I will forgive the writers in like, an instant.
What else did I have to say? Ack, the Cook/Freddie kiss has made my brain stop functioning normally. Idk. I'm looking forward to next week. I really, really hope Tony gets mentioned at least once before this Stonem parents divorce storyline is over, though. Please?
EDIT: Okay, I've given myself a little while and I've just come back and re-read this, and...how weird is it that there's this character I find totally dull, and this character I basically hate, and they're the ones I'm shipping the most strongly at the moment? WHAT'S THAT ABOUT, BRAIN? Oh well.

Date: 2009-02-20 11:49 pm (UTC)I'm so weirdly wrapped up in this storyline now! And this ship in general. I don't even like the characters! It's so weird for me to care as much as I do. I think it's just the intense fucked-up-ness of it all and how it's so...unexplained, you know? Like we don't know if that kiss was meant to be gay at all, or if it was only meant to be a little bit gay, or if one of them's actually gay...IT'S A MYSTERY.
Ohhh, it's amazing. I love this show.
