skinned a polar bear i shot and sold the fur for $350.
Yeah it's like the second series finale: we are left to ponder of what is going to happen to the group.wtf did anyone watch the latest ep? how random was the ending? skins has really gotten too far from reality this season.
u summed up what i wanted to say but couldn't because im not intelligentSkins is alright, though the 2nd cast were not quite as good as the 1st, and the writing was noticeably worse. The only terrible character in s1 was Jal (Just whinges, no personality) but in series 2 we then have the stuttering mess of JJ, the constant lesbian 'am I gay or am I not' rubbish and the unbelievable stupidy and naivety of Pandora (seriously, I have never met anyone near that spaced out in real life lol). Effy is ok, Cook is probably the highlight, though Season 4 takes a turn for the worst when it pulls that Hannibal Lector type shit out of nowhere, (writers seemed to have no idea with the whole psychiatrist thing) then doesn't confront it.
The main problem with Skins I feel is just a lack of character development and a general reluctance to resolve things - avoiding cliffhangers or simply passing over them. It is sort of a unique style in its 'one perception per episode' type deal, but it ends up poor with the continuity because of this. Ultimately, instead of the developing the characters they are simply discarded once you get to know them.
Having said that, still an interesting & entertaining series that I'll probably continue to watch, despite a disaste for the overall structure of it.
