Obligatory Thursday Skins Post
NAOMI!! D: D: D:
So I feel kind of bad that all my favourite parts of the episode were ones that didn't involve Thomas, like JJ being adorable and oblivious, and Effy showing up at the end! Sorry, I just... don't care about Thomas's emo manpain.
Good things: there were some hilarious lines ("Like God but with better weapons", "Jesus says shut up"), and they managed to have people singing without hitting my major embarrassment squick (I have a weird thing about it) and DOUG'S HAIR, OMG I DIED. But... IDK, I think the way they have a really tight focus on one character just doesn't work. Or maybe it just doesn't work with Thomas, because he's so isolated from the group. NEEDS MOAR ENSEMBLE. And I felt like we didn't even go *that* in-depth into his emotions, because it was just a whole lot of Merv standing around looking miserable.
I feel bad that I didn't love it as much as I wanted to! I haven't seen anyone else's reactions yet (I don't understand how people can liveblog stuff, I never want to divert my attention) so I don't know if I'll be harshing anyone's squee, but yeah, this won't be one I'll be endlessly rewatching. Still, I'm hopeful for next week! It looks like angst central, but hopefully in a good way. :D
