Skins - 2x05 [Chris] Episode Discussion

a new hope · 01-12-2009, 06:03 PM

Chris’ college career has been a long road full of tribulations; drugs, petty theft, non attendance and resounding failure. So when the CCTV cameras catch him shagging Buck Tooth in the Science corridor, the College Director calls time. Chris is out. And out of his college accommodation as well. Homeless, family-less, Chris is going down hill fast, until Jal steps in with a challenge. She’ll try to unwind a little so long as he gets his act together and gets some focus.

So Chris gets a job, several jobs, in fact every time he’s fired he gets another one, and he moves into the smallest bed-sit in Bristol. So Jal’s got to chill out, and wow when she does she’s pretty gorgeous, and talented, and cool, and...Could Chris have had his eyes opened wider than any drug could do?

How perfect was this episode

?

So perfect! I loved everything about it. The development of the Chris/Jal relationship was so natural and amazing. My favorite thing about S2, period. I just fell in love with them in a heartbeat.

Chris always has the best episodes.

Agreed,

I loved how much Jal was a part of Chris' life in this episode. And Chris trying to be the real estate guy at the beginning amused me. He was just so bad at it. But, he got alot better.

This episode, like Chris's character, was the perfect mixture of humor, love and angst

I sort of rooted for him and Jal already but it made me totally fall in love with them.

I don't know how anyone could not fall in love with them. They instantly became my favorite Skins couple.

Chris trying to sell the houses in the begininng was just so hilarious. Joe nailed those scenes.

Best episode of Skins ever IMO <3333

It's definitely one of my favorites. No doubt about it.

Do you remember when we analysed that episode down to the ground when it first came out. I mean everything from the script, to what Chris and Jal were wearing LOL

say something · 01-24-2009, 08:26 PM

lol, how could anyone not? I've watched it so many times, I think it's just etched into my head.

I'm on a Skins S1/S2 re-watching weekend. Almost up to my fave episode. YAY!!!! Chris <3 Jal

Yay! The Chris/Jal stuff in this episode was epic. Everything from the nacho cheese joke, to the saying yes, to the hand-holding, and that last scene and the ILY.

I think my favourite episode is Sketch or any Michelle or Jal episode. Sketch just has some of the best T/M scenes

at least IMO. And of course the main plot was really good too.

Awwww, Chris and Jal.

Loved the episode and everything concerning these two.

***Artemis*** · 04-06-2009, 10:38 PM

Jal/Chris! YES!

I started to 'ship them in his ep in S1, but Angie got in my way. Glad she left again.

Erm... test says pregnant..it ain't a teen show (no matter the country) without a pregnancy storyline. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
