SKINS 6x05 - MINI

[doreah]

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.

After last series, I haven't watched any of the new episodes. And after reading this, I'm really glad for it tbh.

LOL you have the same points about the entire private party that I did. JB must be so sheltered to not understand those sorts of things. Everyone over the age of 12 has probably been somewhere with coat check... how does she not know how it works?!

Somehow I did not know there was a gen 3 novel.... I'm torn between seeking it out and running away.

Yeah the message to keep the baby because it loves you... not so true. I like the daytime talk shows where the show girls who think that's true that actually babies don't love you for a long while. They mostly just need you and cry. You love them sure but that's not reciprocated for a long while.

MTV Skins... good comparison :(

I love how you pay attention to details and can spot things that others don't see right away -- like your point about bouncers not letting those kids in, that didn't even occur to me. The writing has gotten so lazy this year.

What bothered me was Mini having like 10 used pregnancy tests but apparently she couldn't afford condoms? Like it's been pointed out to me that she could've been on birth control and missed a pill or maybe a condom broke which are all possible situations but it just looked stupid.

I sometimes wish I was in that writing room so I could continuously say the same things over and over again:

1) No cliches.
2) Originality does not mean ridiculous thinking.
3) Foreshadowing does NOT count as building a story line.
4) CHARACTERS NOT CAMEOS.
5) An episode is not an entire series. It's an EPISODE. Look up "episode".

I would also write out all the key elements of a character and stick them everywhere for everyone to see. Haha?
