YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. so glad that you like it. now lets collectively cross our fingers that the rest of the season lives up to the standard of the first two episodes. i did my review of episode 2 here if you care for a looksie. :D
i have lots of love for Franky. she is such a fresh and interesting character. and Dakota's little expressive face makes it impossible not to feel for her.
I also like that everyone is not already friends so it leaves room for further character development, not simply discovering each character as they show progresses.see this is what has got me nervous. they did this with the second series and it fell flat on its face. it got a group of people that were so different from each other, and then shoved them together and expected us to believe they were friends. i just remember this scene from season 4 when they there was suddenly a scene with the whole group at a BBQ and it just seemed so awkward to see them all hanging together, because they had had no development as a group and the show had focused way

... it just seemed so awkward to see them all hanging together, because they had had no development as a group and the show had focused way too much on the love-dramas and couplings than on developing the friendships.But like you said, they do seem to be developing the friendship more slowly. See, I haven't seen Gen 2 so I don't know how exactly it played out but I hope it's not bad. I really enjoyed the way they handled Rich and Grace. I could never see a plausible scenario where they would hang out or become friends but because of their relationship with Franky, it was possible. I just want them to keep weaving through each other lives based on who they associate themselves with and discover something that they might not have know about the other

Yes I can see Franky pulling Grace and Liv closer to her group and i can see them becoming frieds. but then that leaves Mini, Nick and Matty. i'm very interested to see how they get integrated into the group, if at all.
Mini is gonna be work, but I know Franky is gonna wear her down. I feel like the reason she dislikes Franky so much now is because she doesn't conform. Mini could be jealous of that.
To me, Mini is all about the feeling of being in control. I think she see's Franky as a threat one, because she is different, and two, cause of the friendship she could possibly develop with Grace and Liv - either way that knocks Mini out of control and therefore she doesn't like it. i also have theory that she's in the closet, but thats just speculation. haha
A part of me thinks that by the next episode it will be like it never happened. I feel like this was just a way for Grace to become friends with that particular crowd so it will be believable that they all could be friends. I don't know... but it will be fun to see what happens.

This makes more sense. I completely agree!

I wanted to say that I believe her and Franky are gonna end up making out at least once before this series is done. But then again, I thought Franky was gonna be a lesbian, but she seems to like boys. I'm really feeling that hot piece a boy candy that confronted her when she had that gun.
i think they might be gearing up to make Grace and Rich the Sid/Cassie of this Gen. so basically a series long agonising wait of "will they won't they". i can so see it happening. and i agree, it will be fun to see what happens. :D i'm so happy to be excited about Skins again.Well, I'll enjoy it. I'm used to watching the slow burn of a budding

I just don't know where they are going to take Franky. She doesnt seem to sway one way or the other to me at the moment. its quite possible that we might get a bisexual character out of her. I don't mind either way, though making her lesbian might be a bit obvious/stereotypical. But Mini... I'm wondering what her reason is for staying a virgin so long. she's obviously not comfortable with sexuality for some reason, so it would make sense if she were to have repressed gay tendencies, plus all the homophobic comments she's made - come now, how can i NOT think she is gay. haha
and ugh. that guys name is Matty, and whilst i'm interested to know what his deal is, there is no way I can find him attractive because he reminds me of my mentally-unstable ex-
I'm really adoring Gen3, I haven't watched Gen2 at all, but I've been wary of this Gen since it was announced, but I quite fully love them after the two episodes. If it keeps going the way it's been going I'm going to be happy with it
