Some RL ranting (feel free to skip lol): I will never understand why they bother giving us time off from school if all they plan on doing is bombarding us with enough work to deem the fact that we're not actually attending class completely inconsequential. Uggh school, I love you, but sometimes...

Girrrrl, have you not seen gen 1? You must. As much as I love a lot of the characters in gen 2, the writing in gen 1 was far superior.

(And also Cassie is pretty much the greatest thing on earth ever?)

I AM TOTALLY ON THE MINKY TRAIN OMG YES. Although I don't think it will happen, because I don't think Franks is gay buuuut... I'm in love with them anyway. Their scene in this ep was so brilliant and beautiful, I can't.

What were your thoughts on gen 2, btw?

oohh no I haven't seen gen 1 yet =( I kinds jumped right into gen 2 because of how fascinated I was with certain characters (I used to watch YouTube fanvids/snippets for that gen like that was no tomorrow!! lol); but I'm sure I will when I'm done season 4 *nods*

IKR?! that scene = the reason why I ship them!! gaah so lovely <3 but you're right, I don't think Franky is gay, I think they might even use her character to break down particular stereotypes that would generally assume her to be gay, which is great IMO BUUUT MINKY!! ='(

So far, I'm really liking gen 2 =) However, I do think there is a great deal of gratuity with the drugs and the sex in particular (although I don't live in that region so it could just be relative to what I'm accustomed to, but I doubt it) and exaggeration overall tbh. But at the same time there's enough about each character's family life and/or individual struggles to keep them rooted in reality and relatable as human beings.

However, I do agree with miss_blanche in that, overall, this new new season seems much more ( ... )

I looooove the new season. To me it's a real return to quality after a bit of, shall we say, a mess... although don't get me wrong, I'm not a gen 2 hater.

Make sure you give us your thoughts once you finish the gen!

Oh yeah, and... if you want my detailed opinions, my friend and I are rather obsessed with Skins and do recaps on our blog - http://www.rophydoes.com

I just checked it out and OMG YOU GUYS ARE MADE OF AWESOME!!!! =O

There were many things with regards to the the imagery that I didn't pick up on until I read your take on the episde (like mini's "eyes wide open" even in rest thing--brilliant!! ohh and the differences in the phone wallpapers between mini's phone and nick's); favorited the blog <33
