EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
Cadie's cured - released from the hospital. Great. Except that Cadie's no better. Her friends are anxious to share her Rolodex of prescriptions. Her parents just want her to be good.

Totally agreed with all of this. Let's hope it turns out good.

(Though I know people are gonna throw a bitch fit at the 'look up if you like me' line being used.

Yeah, I wish they hadn't used that line, but as long as Britne puts her own spin on it, I'm sure she can make it more Cadie and less Cassie.

As for the chips, I doubt they'd do that because Cadie doesn't have an eating disorder, as far as I know.

i am slightly more enthusiastic for the ep, now that you guys said you didnt see anything in the previews. yeshh.

With a brand new episode and a character who seems to be kinda different from the original, I don't understand why they to use the same lines. And I admit not liking the way it came off in the preview. But we'll see.
At the end of the day that won't make the episode better or worse.

I'm really looking forward to this. Skins USA seems to really thrive when they are using original characters (Tea) or characters that seem to be different from their UK counterparts.

Um, the episode description from my cable provider claims this episode has "rude indecent language" and "explicit sexual activity".

**majesdane** · 02-07-2011, 09:03 PM

Flawless episode, tbh.

Before tonight, I haven't been all that impressed with US Skins. It's been improving, but still hasn't really been able to live up to the original series. With that said, I have to say I really enjoyed tonight's episode.

Cadie is *very* different from Cassie. She's very dark and very disturbed. I loved the part when Cadie told the doctor that she was thinking of stabbing her. I also liked her story about her parents being from the circus (the story she told to get more drugs, no doubt). I thought Britne Oldford did a fantastic job. I also have to say I thought she looked stunning tonight. She played Cadie well--she had a sweet vulnerability about her. I really felt sad for Cadie.

The acting of the other cast members has been improving too (except Tony, it almost seems like he's getting worse--if that's possible o_O). I really don't like the road they're going with Tea. With that said, the Tabitha/Tony stuff in the future makes more sense now. The other Tony was a bit of a sociopath. This one's motives are a bit more clear.

In series 1, Cassie had my favourite episode. I think Cadie might have mirrored that for me in this adaption.
