Skins: Tea (S1E2)

So last week Skins was a little lackluster so hopefully MTV learned a few things from the vicious things that the fans raged about, aka make it more raunchy, BUT the freaking Parents Television Council went APESHIT over the first episode so MTV might have to censor it and make it even less raunchy. UGH. Catch-22 much?

But you know what, PTC being little biatches only makes the show seem better and gets it free publicity...

Okay so each show, I'm assuming focuses on one character, hence the title of this episode, Tea, and Tony from the last episode. Tea is a closeted lesbian to her parents and most of her friends and head of the cheer squad. Nice. First 3 minutes we already have a sex scene. This episode is already nicely pre-empted so let's see how the rest of it goes.

• TEA
• Dysfunctional family. Check.
• Crazy busy and she's just in the family being neglected by everyone around her. And the only person in her family she can talk to is her dementia riddened Grandma and even she falls asleep on her. Poor Tea. At least she found someone to relate to, someone else who knows exactly what she's going through.
• Daddy's girl. So she's dating a guy to help out her Dad with his business mob/mafia thingy. It's really sweet because her Dad tries so hard to keep the family together. :)
• Her date: Tony. Haha. They're really cute together, as friends and all. :)
• Their dance scene: SO WEIRD.  But they hooked up! What?!! Crazy business. Anyways, I really like Tony. :)
• Tea's lesbian tryst with Betty. Kind of upset that she got rejected she puts up a front like she doesn't care but she ends up being stressed over the fact that she was being called a scaredy cat.  I guess she's not as tough as she thinks she is.
• She gets the girls. She gets the sex. But she never gets the relationship, the love that she really craves. A girl that's her equal. It's really sad actually.
• But it all worked out in the end with Betty. And Tony? Who's she going to choose, if she's going to choose anybody? 
• Crazy drug dealer man stalking Tea. But her Dad is so freaking legit dealing with the drug dealer and all. <3

I have to admit, this episode was toned down a bit, I think I'm going to start appreciating it as it's own entity rather than a spin-off of another popular television show because then I won't have to keep making comparisons with something I've never even seen before. I really like the characters Tea and Tony because they're so mysterious and unpredictable and I think they're both really good actors/actresses. Sounds terrible but is it sad that I want to see more of this show? Is that sad? :(

So I absolutely abhor posting screen shots because it requires me doing a lot of work even though it makes posts all look significantly better, anyways so for Skins, since it has THE BEST MUSIC, really probably the only good thing out of the show so I'm going to post some music that was featured on the show instead, my personal favorite from the episode:

Sherlocks Daughter -- Kids (Alison Wonderland Remix)
