Oh well, okay...

What up, y'all?

So, basically, I've been well absent and that. Bloody life. But I've been lurking and whatnot, mostly around Skinsfans and I have some things I'd like to share.

Read on only if you A) have seen 601 already B) don't mind spoilers, or C) don't give a toss about Gen 3 at all but would like to hear some good quality ranting...

Yes, I forgot to mention the music! Outstanding as always.

Agreed about Grace and Liv. I wasn't a huge fan of either of them last series tbh but at least they've stuck to who they are. And Laya does bring it. Although, the fact that she found out what was going on because that tour guide/drive dude randomly told her screamed of 'oh, erm... how do we drive this bit of plot forward?' was a bit ridiculous. Though that wasn't at all Liv's fault.

I don't want to hate, either. It's why I keep watching and living in hope.

Glad to hear your thoughts on it babe!

Yeah, I haven't watched 601, though I know what happens. Don't plan on watching Skins pretty much ever again, tbh. (Aside from repeats of G1+2, obvsly.) I've pretty much disliked G3 from the start and I knew S6 was going to be all kinds of shit given how S4 turned out (and realistically, S5 wasn't all that spectacular either).

[flister]

Yep, I know babes. I just sort of... I still have to watch. But I will be drunk when doing so :)

I'm well up for a bit of Nick gayness :) Any gayness. Even a little bit!! But yeah, that would be fine by me :) There's fluidity, though, and then there's a character who goes, 'Man, I'm totes gay' and then falls for a girl, which is sort of what I think might happen here - though I don't want it to and would love to be wrong! It'll be like Tea from US!Skins all over again. Please no!!

Ah man... I would love something quality but it's really not going to happen from what I've seen. Rich's trailer just looks bleak... But I'll give it a shot.

Good to see you too, dude. All opinions are always welcome :)

I really dislike being THAT person that rants and raves on Skinsfans about how they think Gen 2 > Gen 3. I ALWAYS hated reading comments back in the day when people did that with Gen 2. HOWEVER, after reading recaps, and spoilers I've lost my self control on Skinsfans, and have expressed my disgust.

Anyway, yeah... I feel like a jerk for basing my distaste for this season on spoilers, and recaps, but I just can't bare to watch 601 knowing how they've destroyed the characters for me.

I also don't plan on watching the series, UNLESS there's some AMAZING recap that can convince me otherwise.

I'll still lurk on Skinsfans -- because I actually find the bitching and whining slightly entertaining, but yeah for my Skins fix, I'll be frolicking about on FF.net and LJ when the Reverse Big Bang is happening. And of course I will always rewatch Gen 1 & Gen 2 :)

Oh, I know I know. Which is why I haven't commented on anyone else's post because I don't want to get an argument or start a debate so I thought I'd have feelings all over my own journal - sensible grown up, that's me!!

I sort of wish I could convince you to watch it but I was so bloody angry after watching the first ep that I can't recommend it. The character annihilation of the girls has been so severe (well, Mini and Franky anyway) that I sort of don't want to see any more of it.

Maybe wait until it's all over and then watch? I still love watching Freya though.

Ugh, I've just watched the first ten mins of 'Rich'. The acting is just... aren't they supposed to improve in the second year?! Oh dear, the rage is coming on again. Gah!!

[girlno_4282]

I do get tempted to watch (even though I know I'll be disappointed) because of Freya. She's just a darling to watch in her interviews!

Give me some time, and I may start watching Skins again so I can legitimately share my feelings on Skinsfans or rage with you ;)

*Cough* Late comment is late. Whoops. Sorry :p

[flister]

Hello pickle :)

Yeah, I know what you mean. I sort of prefer it in a weird way, like I don't feel like my stomach's getting all churny. I'm so totally Naomi about this season - trying not to care about something she knows that she loves.

I could also ship Mini and Alo if it were done right, great point. Like, if it made a shred of sense, like there was any kind of build up or suggestion they'd been interested in each other beforehand. Like, properly.

Oh God, I'm watching this now... It's awful. The writing is actually, actually shocking. So is the acting. I'm actually embarrassed.

At least the music is top notch.

Pleasantly surprised would be nice. I'll let you know if that happens over here in Flisville...
