starsthatshineOK, so this episode... I loved. Skins is wonderful and I'm in love with the show all over again. I don't really know why but I totally love it.
OK, that's a lie. I know exactly why I love it. For several reasons but for this to be interesting in any way, I can give you some small notes on why.
Even if the show is somewhat extreme, I still kind of adore it. While it goes go a bit off the radar in terms of alcohol and drugs (at least in my world), it somehow manages to be somewhat spot-on, regardless who the episode is about. Sure, the first two episodes weren't that amazing. But after 'Pandora', this show has really found its place, I think.
Just because it surprised me so much: Freddie/Cook ftw. Seriously. They give homoerotic a new category.
... do I need to say more?
"I really fucking love you, you bastard."
But sometimes it really makes me wonder just how exactly Cook feels about Freddie because he seems to be determined to piss Freddie off... Or win him back in a strange bizarre sort of way... damn you two! I'm supposed to be sort-of-shipping Panda/Cook. This show is officially turning me into a multishipping whore. And I don't even feel dirty about it.
I swear, when this season has aired, I'm going to make a music video. And I have the crackiest song choice ever. Totally hilarious and yet oddly fitting.
I really like Effy/Freddie, and I sort of like that they're not really getting together and they're sort of pining for each other. It's like Pandora said, she doesn't make enough effort. Also she seems sort of... well, sort of not willing to put herself out there. Figures it's better to take the pain now than later (... why am I thinking of fics when I should be writing an episode reaction post? Bad me!).
Poor JJ, watching them being all ~*angsty*~ (I really can't do those stars and waves things but I figured I'd make an effort). While JJ/Cook is this sort of sweet-love thing, the Freddie/Cook love is more... brutal and complex in its angsty ways.
This show has so much possibilities, however I'm hoping Pandora will be featured more in the future episodes because I want that whole Panda/Cook/Thomas thing to go somewhere. ... but then again, with the whole Effy/Freddie/Cook thing, it might be a little bit redundant. I don't know.
... this show is really going to force me to write fic, isn't it? *headdesk*

There's a book called Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley that's amazing in many different ways. You really ought to read it *nods* :D The writing is superb :D
