Aw, someone else who loves Liv!!! There aren't many of us :(
The finale made me feel better about some characters (Nick, Mini) but worse about others (Matty). I'm still neutral on Alo. I'm glad Rich & Grace decided not to get married but I'm still not 100% sold on the pairing. Mostly because Rich treated Grace like crap for part of their relationship and I'm still not totally over that. But he gained points in the finale so we'll see what happens next season.
I love Mini's crush on Franky but their friendship seems very one-sided to me. I'd like to see them actually show Franky's side of it next season, especially if they're going for Mini/Franky.
Franky/Matty does nothing for me either way but their actual hook-up was rather disturbing. I'm guessing Franky was abused at some point but doesn't remember/blocked it out and that's why she gets freaked out by physical/sexual contact. I hope they actually address that next season and she starts to heal.
I'm glad Liv/Matty ended. I was all for it in Liv's episode but it's been a train-wreck since then and honestly, I think Liv deserves better. I hope they give her a decent storyline next season.
A decent finale for a pretty good season. Hope they don't frak it all up next year :)
I know! The characters I happen to adore always end up becoming the fandom's pushing bags. I try to ignore the fact that 9 times out of ten, they all happen to be black and female.
I love Alo because he's just awesome all on his own. I mean, we've seen how good of a friend he is. He's thoughtful and reliable. I think I really fell for his character during his episode when he left his parents and went to Rich's place. When Rich told him about losing his virginity and he didn't want his problems to ruin his bestfriend's moment so he didn't tell him what was going on with him. He even congratulated Rich when it so obvious that he was feeling shitty.
...I'm still not 100% sold on the pairing.
In all fairness, Rich treated Grace like crap before he actually got to know her and they got together. Then when he acted up that one time after they started dating, it was because he realized that he didn't really know her. If you're in a relationship with someone and they're always "putting on a show" instead of showing you who they are, I'd find that frustrating as well.
I was bit shocked when Mini said that Franky was her bestfriend considering what we've seen, but you're right. It does seem one-sided. I honestly don't know what the writers are doing with Franky/Mini. If they will even be more, but I know they're flirting with the idea. I just say, please don't make it seem rushed or contrived. I didn't want watch Gen 2 so I've never seen a lesbian relation play out on Skins. I just don't want it to be cringe-worthy.
I actually fast forward the part where Matty/Franky were making out. I'm someone that's actually okay with them getting together, but for some reason I couldn't watch that. I guess maybe because it was premature?? And her freaking out make it even more uncomfortable.
I'm glad that Matty/Liv ended on good terms. I want Liv/Nick really. It was obvious that he has feelings for her. Mini's sort into Franky now so I don't think she would mind, and Nick seems to have been whoring his way around with other girls since Mini confronted him about sleeping with Liv. If I had to bet on any ship, it would be with these two. They're who I want to see.
If Nick continues to not be an ass, I could maybe see Nick/Liv but it would need to happen slowly this time around.
Everyone keeps talking about how the best friend thing came out of nowhere but I think that's just Mini's character. She'd had a falling out with Liv and just sort of clung to Franky. And then she developed a crush on top of it so she became all about Franky just like she'd been all about Nick before. But I do think her feelings are real this time around, I'd just like to see what Franky's take is on the whole situation.
