hahaha

( Read more... )

thank god it's over forever.
please no sequels. kthxbye

this post has no other point.

(i knew where this one was long ago but i couldn't be bothered going all the way there til recently.
also is it bad i just watched this scene and legit laughed? what is wrong with me, lol? legit chuckled out loud. this is how much i don't care for naomily anymore i guess, haha. or perhaps skins itself. this scene just seems so hilariously over the top. like seriously. lmao espesh emily and her "it was fraaagile you ruuuu-eeened it!" (cos in my head "ruined" is always said the Stewie Griffin way) wah wah wah. i seriously cant. its hilarity! i just wanna giggle and bitch slap all of them for being such idiots and crying all the time lol. just LMAO. dumb children, blowing everything so out of proportion. grow up, whiny bitches.)

I eventually broke and watched it cos my friend wanted to rant about it. So, alas, I apathetically switched it on 4oD...

Here's what I thought about it.


It sucked.


It was just one boring, predictable cliche after another, to the point that if I had been playing some sort of drinking games cliche-bingo, I'd be unconscious, vomming all over myself by the end of the episode. Pure amateur hour for Jess Brittain, who wrote an episode that differs from typical, mediocre fanfic only by ONE factor: the fact Skins is an exercise in blatant nepotism and her episode actually made it onto TV because of that. Go back to school. Oh wait, that won't help cos they can't teach you creativity.



Such a yawn-worthy episode, well, when it wasn't completely schizophrenic or made me go so far beyond the mere suspension of disbelief necessity Skins normally employs.

( for example... )

I'll preface this by saying that this will possibly be the last one of these I do. I can barely be bothered to watch an episode of this terrible programme, let alone spend an hour+ talking about it afterwards here.

And hope I felt from Alex's episode was completely nullified in Franky's, thus, yeah. The definition of insanity is doing something over and over and expecting different results. If I go insane, I don't want it to be from a TV programme.

So in honour of this momentous occasion, I'll play with the (OLD) X-factor judges. Cos I miss them and I miss Skins and why not?

( for a moment, i had hope... )

Why do I do this to myself? I'm the first person to say to everyone else: "If you don't like it, stop fuckin watching then! Whatever you do, just stop fucking whining about it." See, my issue is more... like... I have done that multiple times. Just given up on shows I've had it with (Without A Trace, Grey's, The OC, House, Shameless, pretty much everything on American TV except American Dad lol, to name a few.) It's not like I can't. But for some reason, I won't when it comes to Skins. I think partly cos I've invested so much energy into it already. It seems silly not to persevere just a bit longer.

Even when I don't think I've thoroughly enjoyed a series since S3. (I did quite like S5; in fact, I thought it was brilliant -- just not quite as emotionally captivating for whatever reason. I didn't go rabid over the characters like I had done for the first 2 gens. Which is odd considering that I believe it may be the most cohesive, real and well-written series Skins has ever done. Aside from S2, obvs.)

I think partly it's due to the fact I keep hoping beyond sense that Skins will bounce back to its former glory. But now, Skins should be known as "Skins". Like, and everyone needs to do those air quotes when talking about it. Cos it's just absolute parp. (S Club 7 shout out, huzzah!!) So, thus, all you lucky folk, get to hear my bitter ranting about the whole thing cos I still am refusing to accept this pile of shit is Skins proper, and that "Skins" is the way of the future.



( and this is why.... )

Hello hello and welcome! It's been a while since I've done one of these and to be perfectly honest, it seems rather daunting at the moment. I'm quite ranted out. (Thank you email buddy and real life buddy. The two of you took the brunt of this :) You know who you are, braintwins.) But I'll attempt to put it together here just... well, cos why not? It's not like I have anything better to do.

Oh wait. I certainly have very very much more important things to do. But, whatevs. Once a procrastinator, always a procrastinator. ONWARDS!

GUESS WHAT! X-Factor is balls so I've found some new folks to help me out with all this. A round of applause for Jenna Marbles, Kingsley, the cast of The Hills and Parks and Rec. Huzzah! I will miss you terribly Dannii & Co. Maybe I'll ask you to play a bit now and then. I just can't give you up.

So Skins, what just happened?

Jenna is speaking to me. Cos, yes, it's sadly true.

( (But WHY am I such a hater-baby this series already? Let's break it down.) )

This oil spill business is making me really anxious and upset. Like, legitimately terrified.

Every time I see an oil-covered bird I want to cry.
