POLL: Which character episode is your favorite?

[katiefitch]

Compare each character's episode to each other. That is, which one do you prefer for each character? Polls below, I split it up into generations. For the characters that only got one episode in the generation (Pandora, Naomi, Anwar, Sketch), I pitted them against each other. And which finales do you prefer within the generations?

tony: 2.06. such a clever episode

[thevoid68]

Agree with you pretty much entirely on Gen 1. Especially for Tony's and Chris' episodes.

However, you have to be kidding about 4x08, right?

[noahdg]

XD no, i genuinely love the final scene of 4.08. i think it's brilliantly written and a perfect ending for cook (love him or hate him, he simply couldn't have gone out on a different note imo... too much of a force of nature for an ending like, i dunno, "gets good grades" or "is back in a good relationship"). on a deeper level, i see it as a satisfying, much-needed critical attack on older generations for so often trying to repress younger generations' voices. plus, it just makes me punch the air. but don't get me wrong i am well aware that the rest of that ep (and series tbh) is a mess.

I'm generally with the majority
1x01, 1x02, 2x08, 2x05, 2x001, 1x08,

An exception for Sid I like 203 best because of Sid/Tony friendship and serious subject matter (his dad).

Also not with the majority for Michelle I REALLY preferred her S2 episode, I loved the group dynanmic one of my faves.

For Gen 2 agreed with the majority on 4x03, 3x05, 3x07, 3x08, 4x04, and 3x09.

Disagreed on Thomas's IDK the cheating was messed up but I liked what they did in 4x01 really showing his issues with conflicting cultures.

My favorite Everyone one was 3x10 (I STAN FREDDIE/EFFY/COOK OK?). Seriously though I felt it had more nice emotional scenes and character development than 3x01 or 4x08.

And I picked Pandora's over Naomi's because I've never been Naomi fan and also I like the group dynamic in Panda's.

2x06 remains my favorite Skins episode and I loved both Effy's Gen. 1 episodes (I like 3x08 as well)

[badgerrr]

tony - 2x06. loved this episode. one of my favorites.
cassie - 1x02.
jal - 2x08.
chris - 2x05.
sid - 2x03. really difficult choice but i went with this one because of the crystal castles scene, tbh.
maxxie - 2x01.
michelle - 2x04.
effy - 1x08. another one of my fav skins episodes, though i really enjoyed 2x07 as well.
finale - series 1.
anwar or sketch? - 1x06

cook - 4x03, by far.
thomas - 3x03.
freddie - i hated both, but i voted for 3x05.
jj - 3x07.
effy - 3x08.
katie - 4x04.
emily - 3x09.
everyone - i didn't like any of these but i hated 3x01 the least.
pandora or naomi? - 3x04.

Gen 1: Michelle S1, Cassie S1, Sid S2, Jal S2, Chris S1, Effy S2 (quite possibly one of my top 3 Skins episodes ever), 2.01 Tony and Maxxie for both Tony and Maxxie, and Anwar over Sketch. Went with S1 finale even though it was a super hard choice, nothing really tops that moment of shock the first time you see Tony get hit by a bus and the cast burst into a cover of Wild World.

Gen 2: All S3 episodes over S4 ones except for Katie and Cook, Naomi over Panda even though those are two of my favorite eps that series and I didn't really want to choose. 3.01 for everyone because 3.10 wasn't really everyone and 4.08 contained way too much fail.
