Hear You Me: The burning question...

The one on everyone's lips.
What do we make of the new Skins?

Well, I'll sum it up in short, and then ramble on about it later:
Better than I thought. I mean, it doesn't begin to compare to series 1- that can never be beaten, in my eyes. But, considering it's a new cast, new story arcs and new year, I'm pretty fucking impressed that the production team have made a good job of a bad idea. Let's review, shall we?

Okay, I'm keeping my eye on the twins. There's something very, very interesting there- the dominating dynamic hiding Emily's lesbianism? Very good TV. Although Katie annoys the shit out of me sometimes- I wanted to punch the screen when I heard her say 'With tits like mine, you've got to flaunt 'em!' But, to their credit- amazing dress sense and very intriueging storylines. Them, I'm excited about.

I've always loved Effy. She's gorgeous, she's sassy and she has amazing taste. Hell, I wanna be her. So cool and in control, and somehow she's so sussed. She can always sense people's real feelings. She has the possibly best eye make up ever. Plus she takes the most outrageous outfit in theory and makes it look hot in practice. Bitch. She works the raven haired beauty thing and I'm so jealous. And as for Naomi- can you say gorgeous? And her dress sense is out of this world- all the slogan tees, florals and statement jewellery. Plus, she's making me want to get involved in politics. This is a big influence- I'm the laziest person in existence. Can I please be her?

Freddie? One word for him: HOT. The actor who plays him actually hails from the one-horse town I was born in, so I can't help but feel smug walking down the streets and knowing that Luke Pasqualino roamed the same grey roads and still made it to somewhere better than a factory job. So thanks for the hope, and marry me? Kthx.

Although I'd have a bit of Cook if you waved him in front of me. While my penchant is for that gorgeous Italian Peterboroughian, I must say I get some of my man candy from Cookie. Although his episode last week was reasonably shit. But I forgive him because he's easy on the eye. Not like that annoying fucking JJ. What a bellend. Although I must admit, the actor is really cute. He can have a hug.

Pandora? Annoying, unrealistic, just a teensy bit cute- but she provides some comic relief. And while I know I would never meet 17 year old so wet behind the fucking ears, she makes interesting viewing, at least. Although someone like Effy would never, ever, ever hang out with her. End of. Rules of the teen universe. And as if you eat a whole bag of cocaine, you fucking anus.

And Thomas.. aaah, Thomas. What a cutie! I love his French accent, I love translating what he says, I love his mild and polite manner, I love his intuition, and I would love to kidnap him and keep him as my very own. Please.

So there are my thoughts on the new characters. And courtesy of YouTube and E4, the best sites EVER, I'll show you the bits I've loved best- and the bit I can't wait to see!
