Obligatory Skins Gen 3 Reaction Post

My big gripe is that they introduced us to the actors instead of the characters. But, whatever, I can still make snap judgements based on pictures alone!

Yeah, they changed the picture of Dakota.

I am already shipping Mini/Jessica's character. Come on, Skins. Don't disappoint.

[botherd]

Yeah, I already kinda ship them too! I so hope Jessica is the tiny lesbian. (I feel like that ought to be capitalised at this point: The Tiny Lesbian.) Dammit, I really didn't want to get invested in this cast but I know it's going to happen.

[immortality]

I'm getting seriously invested in the as-of-not-yet-existent Mini/Jessica's character ship. I need E4 to give us character bios and stuff so that I don't get my hopes up too high. Gdi.

[botherd]

I'll think they'll probably string us along for ages tbh; we all know what they're like. SIGH.

[botherd]

I'm going to be disappointed if she's not! I wonder when we'll find out character info?

[liev]

They look okay I guess. Looks aren't that important to me, and I still remember seeing Naomi's promo shot for the first time and being sort of underwhelmed. And look how that turned out. At this point the thing that'll decide if I'll continue watching is the script quality and interesting characters, and with JB being in charge I'm certainly not overly hopeful.

[botherd]

I think there'll probably end up being just enough good bits to keep me watching even if it sucks overall. It depends whether JB has learnt any lessons from series four or if his head is still so far up his own arse that he doesn't think there need to be some major changes in the way he structures a series.

[botherd]

If you thought series two was bad you should've seen series four; it was abysmal. (And yet I still watch, IDK why.)

Emma Watson is too old for Skins now, but it would've been amusing to see her play a typical Skins teenager after being Hermione.

I'm not in it for the boys

Shocker ;)

I agree, I guess Sebastian is there to appease the straight girl/gay guy demographic (because I don't see the appeal at all in Sean Teale)

Do we know for sure there's a lesbian...because, dammit, that does make it slightly more likely that I'll watch/*lame desire for representation lame*

[botherd]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there is a lesbian; AfterEllen mentioned something about having more details about her soon. They probably only included one because Naomi and Emily were so popular.
