ha ha, you're gay for your parents ~ Skins 5x7 "Alo"
There's really no reason this is late, other than I thought I'd already posted it yesterday. Here are my live-blog comments on the latest Skins UK. And yes, I still adore this season. It's great that I still have a Thursday show with TVD on hiatus.
Warnings for drug use and scenes of a sexual nature. Yep, that’s how you know it’s Skins coming up!
Alo’s been my fav background character this season so I’m pretty excited about this episode.
Oh lord, that opening shot is beyond gorgeous. THE CINEMATOGRAPHY ON THIS SHOW.
Peeing in a cup WHAT? Alo, you are amazing.
Hahahaha I love Skins so much. This is like the only show that’ll open with an extended masturbation scene to internet porn (where the kink appears to be tit-fucking with bananas). OMG AND THEN HE GOES AND EATS ONE.
Alo on a tractor! The colors in these shots! AMAZING.
Is there anyone more adorable than Alo in this world?
Oh, that’s right: Rich in an apron! <333333333333333
Alo’s parents wake him up by holding a crowing rooster! LOOOOOL
I do not get how making someone drop out of high school is tough love. DNW Alo’s parents. This is not the 1950’s.
“Reason for leaving. We’ll just put: Simpleton” *dies laughing*
“The world needs ditch diggers too.” *DYING*
Liv has a porn mag on a hook!
“Where do you draw the line? You’re a person, Alo. Not a cow.”
Rich: “Ha, ha you’re gay for your parents.”
Alo looks so adorable in his suit, and hugging Rich goodbye. ♥
He’s a total slacker, but it’s sweet that he cares about his parents enough that he’s reluctant to rebel. (though obviously he will, otherwise NO EPISODE)
Somehow Alo’s war with the rock is so poignant. Awwwww, Alo.
Aloysius Creevy! I LOVE HIS NAME.
But Alo’s mum needs to DIAF. She’s way too harsh. Alo may be a fuck up, but I cannot even handle him looking like a kicked puppy. And modern day teens are just not MADE to become farm hands. She should know this.
HAHAHAHA HE ACCIDENTALLY KILLED BESSY THE COW. I mean, it’s horrible. But also hilarious. (so typical Skins, really)
Oh, I have so much sympathy for Alo now. You don’t take someone’s DOG. That’s just beyond wrong.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, they’ve crossed the line and now rebellion! I AM EXCITE.
Franky in layered tank tops is little a saucy little pixie. Mmm… Do want.
The food fight is adorkable. As are Rich/Grace, who are PURE PURE LOVE.
“I love you quite a bit, Rich.” “Ewwww.” So so so so so cute.
Mini deciding to dance and just have fun with Alo was awesome.
Nick getting all physical with the guy who called Franky a dyke was adorable. I find how he’s adopted “his gang” rather endearing.
“Franky, what’s the deal? Do you like boys.. or?” So someone finally asks. (I kind of like the ambiguity here, that no one knows what to make of Franky’s sexuality - including Franky herself) (and the implication that Mini has done some questionably queer things)
Liv is so sweet here HOMG. DEAR GOD THE FINGERTIPS KISS. I can't believe it, but now I'm shipping Franky/Matty/Liv. FML.
“Is your dad a farmer? Does he have guns? “ “Yeah.” “Bail!!!” ahahahahaha
Everyone on skinsfans called the sick dad.
Awwww, Alo goes to his friends when shit hits the fan.
Franky perving on Liv/Matty was wrong-hot. She so wants in on that.
Mini actually having to be the comforter is awkward, sweet, and a bit hilarious (because of how shit she is at it).
Alo: “You’re actually all right, aren’t you?” Alo/Mini FTW!
“Has Hannah Montana died or something?” Rich & Alo grinning together about Rich having his first time with Grace is just like the most wonderful thing ever. <3333333333
Alo’s so alone, though. He’s going to make me cryyyyyyy.
“I’m really going to try to be better. But you need to try too. Sometimes you make me feel so fucking useless. But I’m going to do it. I’m going to grow up.” Oh, ALO. I think it’s the wrong decision. But I also think it’s in character. And ultimately he’s an emotionally vulnerable teenager. And his parents mean well, but sorry they suck.
ALO WILL CONQUER THE ROCK! Go, Alo, go!
