March 12, 201015 yr I thought the episode was the best of the series, the most dramatic and I actually enjoyed Effy's acting!
March 12, 201015 yr Well thus far here is my little rating system id give for each episode; 02.0 Episode 1 - Thomas 08.0 Episode 2 - Naomily 08.5 Episode 3 - Cook 09.0 Episode 4 - Katie 06.5 Episode 5 - Freddie 08.5 Episode 6 - JJ 05.5 Episode 7 - Effie Im still in shock at the ending of last night's episode, there's no-way Freddie survived and even if he did he couldnt escape anyway. There's far to many storylines to patch up next week so i hope its not to much of a mess. Im guessing Karen is going to have a major role in the next series like Effie has more this generation? she seemed vile last series but somehow despite not being in for more than 2 minutes this series so far, seems much better?

March 13, 201015 yr I take Skins with the tiniest pinch of salt. It's way unrealistic with some of the outrageous things it tries to pull off (Effie being handed 3 A's?! :wacko:) Last few eps have been dark to say the least... I don't get why the councillor killed his patients boyfriend, there we go. :huh:
March 13, 201015 yr What ever happened to the FUN Skins of series 1? :( Have not even bothered with this series.
March 13, 201015 yr :o Just watched the latest episode. :o is all I can say really I didn't expect that to happen at the end. Although I sussed that the doctor was 'evil' straight away and when Freddie went to his house I thought he was going to keep him trapped in there up until I saw the blood splatter. I like Karen but I always thought she was older than Freddie so surely they can't have Skins 3 surrounding her. :wacko:
March 14, 201015 yr What ever happened to the FUN Skins of series 1? :( Have not even bothered with this series. Tell me about it. Although I loved the second series too and even the third series was light hearted. We don't need to hear about people being killed, depressed, taking drugs, losing jobs etc ... it doesn't even seem to have a decent balance of drama and humour either atm. :(
March 14, 201015 yr I knew John was going to do something, he seemed weird from the start of the episode. I did enjoy the episode though, I don't get why everyone is going on about all the episodes being depressing, Katie and JJ's episode had lot's of humour in them. My second favourite episode of the series thus far after Katie's. Looking forward to next year!
March 16, 201015 yr OMG the end to that episode was so unexpected. (even though it was obvious the guy was a bit of a wrong-un) I actually found it hard to sleep because that blood splattering was hard to get out of my head. :( This is why I don't do scary movies - even Skins keeps me up at night.
March 16, 201015 yr But they've done something quite clever, they've done it so we presume that Freddie is dead, but whats to say he didn't "fight back" and end up killing the guy instead? :unsure:
March 16, 201015 yr The last episode was bleh except for the ending :o what is it about this serious thats so dark :unsure:
March 18, 201015 yr :o! GET OUT COOK! Surely they can't end it like that unless this cast will be back next series? :mellow: Maybe it'll work with one of the character's family member or something...
March 18, 201015 yr Wow, rubbish ending! I didn't watch the first two, but I'd assume the second series didn't end so...unfinished? I get that we're to assume Thomas and Pandora live happily ever after at Harvard, Naomi and Emily do in Goa and Freddie is obviously dead but the others could have been wrapped up more. Do we know where they're going with series 5 (if there is one?) I assumed we'd get Karen as the character that stays, but my brother seems to be of the opinion that Effy will move away and get new friends?

Ended with Effy lying up Tony's bed staring up at the camera to MGMT, complete contrast to this one. Sorry for being petty, but no way could someone expelled get into the best rated uni in the world! Karen is older than Freddie i think, so i doubt it. Maybe if there were 2 more episodes after Freddie's death (which was pointless in the first place) it could've worked. But it was rushed EVEN though they didn't fit in half of what needed to be? Garrgh, that was probably the worst episode of any tv series that i liked ever. E1 - 4/10 E2 - 9/10 E3 - 7/10 E4 - 8/10 E5 - 8/10 E6 - 3/10 E7 - 3/10 E8 - 0/10 Edited March 18, 201015 yr by Harve
March 19, 201015 yr It wasn't THAT bad Harve LOL. I actually quite enjoyed the episode personally. It's just the ending was appalling LOL.

I think it was an alright episode, just maybe needed and extra 15 minutes or half an hour to give it a proper send off... That said, the Asian lesbian gave possibly the most wooden acting I've seen in Skins and that includes Freddie. Dancing to Kylie was also a bit wtf.
March 21, 201015 yr what a crap ending. Not really looking forward to the 5th series tbh. Yeah...umm I've heard they're going for an all new cast in series 5. I think that's bad idea really, for it to truly be series 5 of Skins, they should at least have some connection to a recurring character? Otherwise it'll end up just being an imitation of Skins, under the same name. (you could argue it was that in the last two series I guess, but at least they were connected to the first bunch) Maybe I've just misunderstood, I hope they link it in with one of the families somehow, if only to find out how these characters ended up.
