Skins - Naomi | Lily Loveless #94: Because we all fell in love with the girl who didn't want to be in love

heimweh · 07-19-2013, 04:28 PM

Welcome to the 94th thread for
Naomi Campbell/Lily Loveless!

"Naomi has this tough, scrappy exterior but she’s a lovely person — she is really lovely.
I think she’s got a very good heart and that she’ll do anything for people she loves.
So I think that’s just her; she’s a lovely person, she’s just misunderstood!" - Lily on Naomi

1. because she doesn't give a *eyebrow raise* what anyone thinks about her.
2. because she's very headstrong.
3. because she's an old-fashioned kind of girl, woman, whatever.
4. because the loveless needs the love she deserves.
5. because those pale blue eyes of hers are just truly mesmerizing.
6. because her mannerisms are adorable.
7. because she's 'you know... clever.'
8. because 'she's rather beautiful.'
9. Get to know me!

'Skins Pure' review: Hannah Murray's Cassie faces tough times - Skins Recap - TV - Digital Spy

Quote:

Anyone still reeling from the pitch-black Skins Fire and hoping to find a little light relief in Skins Pure can guess again. As with its predecessor, there's little of the debauchery here that once made E4's teen drama so notorious - in its place is the grim notion that once your youthful exuberance has dried up, there's little waiting for you in the 'real world' but disappointment.

It's perhaps not surprising that Skins Pure shares the same strengths and weaknesses as Fire - with uniformly solid acting, writing and direction, it's definitely worth buckling down and persevering with. But lacking as it does a sense of fun, some may find it too heavy-going to handle.

So far, this series of Skins has been easy to admire, but difficult to really enjoy. On that basis, I'm hoping Cassie gets a happy ending next week - us Skins fans could use it.

Skins Pure Part One Review - Filmoria

Quote:

If audiences were expecting a slight lift up from the bruisingly brilliant nature of Effy’s final, think again. In many ways, Pure is an even darker tale; it never offers a glimmer of hope, nor excitement or joy, and whilst the web of confusion and fear that tangles Cassie isn’t as complex as Effy’s, the episode’s moral basis is fundamentally founded upon disappointment. Nothing awaits you outside that door to your life except for trials, tribulations and sadness; pretty damn bleak huh?

The biggest problem with Cassie’s first entry is that its narrative is often dubious – we are expected to accept Jakob’s snap-happy behaviour as acceptable and desirable; as if he is making Cassie feel like a woman, but actually its perverse and intrusive. Plus the absence of say any other previous characters means the entire weight rests upon her tiny, anorexic shoulders. There is no doubt that Murray is fantastic here; her moves into cinema and most recently Game of Thrones has enabled her range to dramatically extended and better, but there just isn’t enough support from those around here, or indeed the world she resides in to bring it up to the same level as Fire.

‘Skins Pure’: Part 1 review

Quote:

It seems to this Cassie, any company is bad company. The old Cassie would've befriended a weirdo like Jacob, gone for a drink with her hunky workmate and smoked weed with her flatmates, but this one doesn't want to know. She's not only no longer innocent and naive, and in fact, she's even developed a cynicism and antisocial nature of her own.

As a result of her constant "say no" attitude (Chris would be turning in his grave), the episode feels a lot slower paced than Fire, and a lot more low key and incidental. Nevertheless, it must be said that, thus far, Pure is thoroughly beautiful filmmaking.

The general rating for Pure is lower than Fire. And tbh I almost fell asleep while watching it, so I kinda get it.

Now, WHERE IS MY COOKIE MONSTER?

Anywho, I read that tweet from Jack

and tbh if anyone was going to be sad with Naomi dying, I think we all know Jack and Meg were going to be in front. I mean I'm not counting Kaya cause she filmed so.. otherwise she would have raged

I was looking at this thread on my phone at the dentist's and I just got to the first post with the pretty pictures of Naomi/Lily and then my phone ran out of battery and I pouted for at least an hour. I should not be deprived in such a way, even when being examined for wisdom teeth removal.

My headcanon involves Cook being everywhere all at once. Even in the other gens. He drove the bus that hit Tony. He got Sketch to get over Maxxie. He watched Liv's little sister while Liv was with Matty. He got Mini pregnant (that's why he's on the run in S7, obv). Hell, he even appeared in US Skins, orchestrating its failure so his American version would never come to be. HE IS THE MOST INTERESTING COOK IN THE WORLD

TV Review: Skins: Pure - Part 2

Quote:

Thankfully we’re still far from the bad old days of Series 4 and 6 but we’re back to Skins: Fire quality here. As far as the technical aspects go, it’s still roughly on par with last week but the story’s just a mess. It’s meandering, never builds up to anything, and the rushed ending ultimately leaves us feeling cold because the story hasn’t developed enough before its all too rapid conclusion.

‘Skins Pure’: Part 2 review

Quote:

Despite not having the drama and powerful storytelling of Effy's Fire, Pure is still beautiful on the whole thanks to the performances of Murray and Alexander and the calm yet gritty portrayal of the city's suburbs. It's not the most eventful and riveting two hours in Skins history, but let's face it - when compared to our confusing and experimental teenage years, real life is rarely eventful nor riveting.

If Fire showed us the bright lights of a high-powered city career, Pure carries a modest torch for a more banal existence in a big city. The experiences you share with the people you meet every day, and the stories they have to tell. It's not just about Cassie, it's about her failing actor housemate, one of her colleagues who fought abroad, and another who has a secret passion for photography... and her. So in that aspect it's probably the most relevant and realistic two episodes in Skins history

Skins Pure Part 2 review | Den of Geek

Quote:

Thank you, Skins, for giving us a much-needed happy ending. Skins Pure has left fans in an entirely different emotional state than Fire did – with Cassie relatively happy and settled despite the difficulties of being a character in a world as fraught and ridiculous as Skins.

The overall ‘point’ to these new episodes is starting to become clearer – with Cassie’s episodes so strikingly different from Effy’s – but I guess it’ll look different again once we’ve seen Rise over the next two weeks. If it’s to show three different experiences of being a young adult, then it sort of does, but this one goes one step further and finishes off a story that had been left up in the air at the end of series two. There will be people who hate what has been done to Cassie here but, after the emotional turmoil of Fire, I’m certainly not one of them.

'Skins' 7x03-7x04, Pure (Part I & II): Review - Huntsville TV | Examiner.com

Quote:

Fans of the original Skins can look forward to a few very small nods to Cassie’s previous history, but not much more than that. Much like “Fire”, Cassie’s episodes barely link to the known past, or Cassie’s relationship with Sid. For that reason a lot of fans may be once again frustrated. But in reality, Skins has never really been about plot continuation or who we think is endgame in relationships nor head canon. It’s all about where the writers can place these young characters to explore various facets about them. If one is able to keep that in mind while watching this very special season, then it makes it all the better and all the more poignant. Skins is about the characters first and foremost and in these collection of episodes it is how this character has matured and how she fits into the real world.

http://totalbull****blog.wordpress.c...pure-part-two/

Quote:

While ‘Fire’ was about friends becoming family in an adult world, ‘Pure’ speaks to the definition of family itself, and how it changes and evolves as we transition away from adolescence.

It’s nowhere near as high-stakes as ‘Fire’ was – and there’s nothing wrong with that. However, a combination of not enough action, and a sparsely populated world really let the character of Cassie down. I said it last week, but I really felt once more that ‘Pure’ would have really benefited from a couple of familiar recurring characters, rather than a supporting cast of strangers that filled both episodes. However, the girl in questions has always been a lone soul and I can see what the Skins team were trying to establish here.

DGSAFDMD · 07-25-2013, 12:07 PM

Haven't watched Pure, I don't think I will but I think.. I THINK in re: to storytelling has to be better than Fire. Even tho it doesn't kill anyone and that's why they call it not as "powerful"

Pinot Grigio · 07-26-2013, 07:34 AM

Well I've watched Pure and I can't even remember half of the things that happened in it.
Fire sticks with you, though. Even if it's for the wrong reasons...

'Skins': Jamie Brittain on 'Rise', Cook's return and 'Dates' e-book - Skins Interview - TV - Digital Spy

Quote:

Why was Cook one of the chosen few picked to return to Skins for this final series?

"I just find Jack O'Connell to be one of the greatest actors around at the moment, and I just find him really exciting to work with. The character of Cook is also a very exciting character, so that's basically why - I just wanted to work with him again."

We last saw Cook at the end of series four in John Foster's basement - is that cliffhanger addressed?

"It is, but kind of elliptically - we don't get into specifics, but we do talk about what happened, yeah."

Skins Fire and Skins Pure also avoided explaining what happened in the characters' 'missing years' - was that a deliberate decision?

"Yes, to allow the films to stand on their own. Rather than be constantly referring back to things in the past, we wanted to make them work on their own terms."

You've explaining why you chose Cook - what was the thinking behind picking Effy and Cassie for the other two films?

"Again, we felt that we could do most with their characters. We didn't think we would necessarily be able to tell a story with some of the other characters, but for those particular characters, me and the other writers all felt that we could tell interesting stories for them, set in the present day."

These new episodes are a lot darker and more adult - was it difficult establishing that new tone and still having it remain recognisably Skins?

"Yeah… it's a balancing act, isn't it, to try and keep everyone happy. I mean, personally, I wasn't too bothered about keeping anyone happy, to be honest, because this is the last ever series, y'know? There's nothing we have to do - there's no marks we have to hit, there's no viewing figures we have to get, so I was pretty happy to go out there, just do what I wanted to do and hope people like it.

Pinot Grigio,

Thanks again for the links to reviews. Very helpful. But again, I wish general reference links weren't posted only on Naomilly threads.

Pure, unlike Fire, isn't melodrama. The resolution of the plot is also less predictable. That Naomi will die and that Effy is headed for prison is clear half wyay through Fire.

Series 7 is sad by comparison to Skins. But the point may be that adulthood, being lonelier, is less happy than adolescence. People write and watch teen dramas for a reason, and it's not just the eye-candy. (Skins never specialised in eye-candy anyhow.)

The cruel paucity of reference to the friends of adolescence (especially Tony) may underscore that, although it seems overdone.

But Series 7 has, so far, been thematically true to Gens 1 and 2, in the broadest terms. Fire, like Gen 2, is a damnation story: Effy still doesn't know how to love. And Pure, like Gen 1, is a redemption story.

Feel free to repost all my links to the Skins ep discussions. I don't mind.

I'm only here for Lily/Naomi. I've never been a Skins fan, tbh. Never liked gen 1 and I was bored to tears with gen 3. Even with gen 2, I skip a lot of scenes..

Skins was all about the teen years anyway, so S7 ws a lost cause from the start. The only reason it exists it's because of Skins as a brand name and the popularity of certain characters and actors

Fire might be a melodrama but so was Series 4 and people didn't seem to mind that much because NAOMILY WAS ENDGAME AND OMG SKINS WAS THE BEST SERIES EVAH!!!!

I have to admit I never liked Cassie so my view of her ep would be biased. But I just found it SO boring, I couldn't even concentrate on what was supposedly going on

Cute couple...

HA! Eleanor and Alexia will be much cuter

Quote:

We've already seen some dark new storylines in Skins 7, but how much darker than the original seasons can it actually get?

Good question, I think before it wasn’t dark as such; it was more carefree, without consequences, whereas this series is showing how those people have grown up and changed. The characters were all around 17 years old in the original series and therefore they were free-spirited and naïve, whereas in this new series we see them having to face reality.

Which plotlines have you found the most shocking in the past?

I thought Freddy dying was really shocking, mainly because when I read it I was sure that there was going to be some twist and the blood smeared across the wall wasn’t actually Freddy’s, that they’d switched it round.

We saw Emily appear alongside girlfriend Naomi in Effy's episodes, how was that?

I only really appear in a few bits, basically the whole series revisits three past characters, Effy, Cook and Cassie, each of the characters have two hour-long episodes about what they’re doing with their life now and have they have changed since we last saw them. So I’m featured in both of Effy’s episodes, as is Lily Loveless who plays Naomi, because obviously her character’s storyline ties in with mine due to their relationship.

Emily is in New York pursuing her photography career, which is quite ironic seeing as I’m also into photography. She comes back a couple of times within the episodes to see Naomi, so that’s how my character fits into the episodes.

How has Emily changed since we last saw her?

I think she’s become more sure of herself, in the first series she was very shy and reserved and as the show went on she came out of her shell and became more assertive, stepping out of her sister’s shadow. In the years we haven’t seen her, she’s found out who she is, what she wants to do professionally, and has gone out and grabbed it herself.

Have you seen the other members of the cast since the season ended? Is it a reunion for the cast as well as for the characters?

Not really, because me and Lily (Loveless) lived together for a year, and I see Kaya quite often whenever she’s in London and those were the only ones who I saw on set for this new series. But all the girls are still really close and we try to see each other as much as possible.
