US Skins Almost Here

I can't be sure yet but I THINK that Eura will be my favorite character on the show. I love the spot I saw where she drew on every ones head (even her own) but I haven't seen much of her in the previews.This photo reminds me of at least 40 guys I've gone to school with since I was in like 6th grade. A we bit stereotypical but sometimes stereotypes are living breathing friends and neighbors.Tea looks to be the runner up for favorite character. The trailers make her seem like a lesbian Effy and even a little bit like Naomi from seasons 3 and 4. Cassie was my favorite character on the original skins and Caddie is clearly a Cassie knock off but she looks like she might be able to pull it off. I'm trying to remain as optimistic as possible about the us show which starts a week from today. The trailers seem all to staged and almost shot for shot remade after the original but supposedly only 2 or 3 episodes follow the UK versions storyline. We shall see but I am at least excited to get even a taste of the skins show I love back!

Really? Why You Gotta Try So Hard?

Why? Why? Why? Why are they trying so hard? Real life is provocative, and the Skins UK show and at least with the first two seasons it was so good because it was so real. It wasn't trying so hard to be edgy and provocative. An the more I read about and see the MTV promotion for the US version the more turned off of it I get. This show will never live up to the original. So why do they think that instead of doing an original American spin on it and trying to make a good show it's better to just be raunchy and cheap and focus on the party side of the characters and not the real depth of the characters? Fucking American television! This last pic isn't so bad and I like the black and white style photos better then the ripped off look of the top photo from shoots with the second generation cast of girls!

New Cast Of Skins

Well folks here they are! I know skins fans are opinionated and loyal but most the fan comments on e4 have been bashing the second generation with little hope for the third. I along with a good deal of other Skins fans have confidence and hope in the show that is as known for reinventing it's self as it is for it's controversial story lines. I love this show and like everyone else I was sad to see the first generation replaced but I grew to love the second generation and I know the third generation and the next two seasons to come will be just as interesting and entertaining. This time around the cast has a totally different look and vibe I'm excited to see them all in character on screen! This is my totally superficial guess at who I think will be the most interesting characters :) I'll update when the show stars to see if my estimations are correct.
Beautiful hipster tomboy... I wonder what her issues will be?He could be a loyal best friend with a wishy washy sexuality or a tortured trouble maker! She could be a goody goody or the wild child...

One thing is for sure, I'll be watching!
