SKINS APPRECIATION THREAD

Quote:

Fast-paced and full of angst-ridden fun, this British drama may be based on teenage characters and aimed at a teenage audience, but its content is strictly adult. Watch as eleven teens struggle with highly-charged issues of race, religion, sexuality, drugs, and food disorders. With a solid set of good actors, expect the drama to consist of a lot of well-played emotional ups and downs.

I like your title.

The cast photo looks pretty great. If I ever find it anywhere, I'll try it.

I have to say, I hope it isn't a hot-button issue of the week type of thing. Those, I find, just try too hard for me to get into.

I'm assuming the one in the white dress is Cassie? She looks SO CUTE.

Hey Ana!

Can I join this forum, after watching a Sid/Cassie music video, I'm in love with them!!! ^^;

Then again they remind me so much of Harry and Luna...but moving on from that hehhe

YouTube - Yellow - Cassie and Sid

Here is that S/C video by the way, you should watch it!!

Airie · 02-28-2007, 10:40 AM

That video is very winning. I'm watching Six Feet Under right now

, but once I've caught up I'll likely give this a try.

Sid looks like Dwayne from Little Miss Sunshine with those glasses. (Even though Dwayne didn't wear any...the actor does. So Sid is, like, the actor's eyes and the character's hair/style.)

Visies! *hugs you both*

Yeap Airie, the girl in the white dress is Cassie

There's a LJ community (/ihearttvshows), that's where I'm downloading Skins from. Five episodes were aired so far, I believe the new one airs tomorrow, but I'm not sure. I've seen that video (I've seen pretty much every Skins video on YouTube

), it's great

Cassie and Syd are very like H/L, that's what initiallly drew me to them

Elusive One · 03-01-2007, 01:53 AM

I heart this show!

Thank you for starting a thread.

Do you know any fan sites out there?

**ღ misty** · 03-01-2007, 02:00 AM

Yay, another fan!

There's a link to three sites on the opening, I suppose the LJ community is the closest to a fan site. Other than those, I'm not aware of any others.

Which means I need to go webhunting

pocketsized · 03-02-2007, 04:52 AM

Yay a skins thread!

Love it. Hated the first episode but it has grown on me. Am shipping Sid and Cassie. She's so sweet and lovely.

Did anyone see last night's episode (the one in Russia?) Poor Michelle

pretty passion · 03-04-2007, 03:29 PM

Wow, i didn't know there was a Skins thread, awesome!

**ღ misty** · 03-05-2007, 09:19 AM

Welcome guys

I just watched the last episode, it was great! I felt bad for Michelle too, even though my heart skipped a beat when Maxxie and Tony kissed. New OTP coming, I sense. And when Maxxie said "she is beautiful" (about Cassie) and Sid smiled to himself a little I was like awwww

The Friends references killed me. When the Russian chick said that Maxxie would be there for Anwar when the rain started to pour I really laughed my ass off

Great episode.

~Taylor~ · 03-05-2007, 11:06 AM

Ah, I love this show. I didn't think I would like it at all, but it is all kinds of awesomeness.

I loved last week's episode. Especially the bit that came after Tony and Maxxie's kiss when Maxxie says that Tony isn't good at everything. Hahaha. I nearly died laughing. Tony's face was priceless.

Cassie and Sid are awesome. They own that show.

Antiquity · 03-05-2007, 11:56 AM

Ah! A Skins thread, just what I was looking for to express my love.

Cassie. I love her. I just .. gah. It sucked she wasn't in the last episode.

Sid. Open your eyes, kthnxbai.

Even though I think Tony is one heck of a bastard, I still ship Michelle/Tony.

Cassie is love! I'd love to have Maxxie/Cassie scenes

I don't mind Michelle but she needs to wake up. She's your typical dumb girl who just wants a boyfriend that is fit. She knows how much Sid cares for her but still she messes him around :/ I do think she looks cute with that guy in the preview though

Antiquity · 03-05-2007, 12:22 PM

Dude, I would love Maxxie/Cassie scenes, the one where he told Sid that she was beautiful was just too cute.

And I can't stand Michelle/Sid. Crushes are cute, but she's playing him until Tony drags his arse along again.

~Taylor~ · 03-05-2007, 12:33 PM

Maxxie/Cassie scenes would be awesome. I really loved Maxxie in the last episode.

I like Michelle. I mean, I don't like the way she treats Sid and the way she lets Tony treat her, but a lot of girls act like when they are that age.

I love to hate Tony. LOL. He's one of the characters that you can't help, but like. I'm looking forward to seeing him get punched next episode, lol
