Skins: Abbud (S1E6)

So this week focuses on the slightly mysterious Abbud. We actually don't know anything about him. And I don't think I have ever heard him speak, except for that one time when he asked Tea to dance. THEREFORE, I  am pretty amped to see his background and all that. After last week's boring Stanley episode, I'm ready for something interesting.

Episode summary from MTV:
What happens when you go on a class field trip into the woods for a little self-discovery? You create your own "trip"...by any possible means. But no amount of drugs, no buzz will make Abbud forget that he's completely in love with his best friend. He longs for the day when those feelings are reciprocated. Sadly, it looks like that day may never come.

So we have ourselves a little adventure in Canada which is a nice break from wherever the hell Skins is supposed to take place in. Haha. They "totaled a moose." Nice. I'm still kind of confused what the teacher did to the moose?! Am I that naive or is anyone else confused with me?

Anyways, it's really cute that he likes Tea. :) Except she's his best friend. And lesbian. Those significantly lower his odds down to 0. Oh yeah, and she has that thing with Tony as well... Ah. The perils of horny teenagers on Skins. And she doesn't want a relationship with Betty. Who and what does she want?! It's so confusing, she's so confusing, I wish that she could just get it together and stop leading a bazillion people on.

NO DRUGS soooo the boys go hunting for shrooms and end up licking a toad and throwing up EVERYWHERE. Watching Chris lick/tongue that toad is absolutely hilarious and disgusting. And it's still moving in the shot. Gross. I seriously think Chris is my favorite character because he has so many dimensions but uses humor as his outlet. And the sex advice that he gives Abbud is hilarious, so wrong, but hilarious. "Target the sick and the weak!" Oh yeah, and him and Tina. Cute. :) Or kind of not, because that's like sexual harassment, but I think that they're kind of adorable. And I like how he kind of cockblocks Dave for Tina. He's so immature yet he's mature around Tina. But then again, Tina is one of the most insecure adults ever. So perfect match I say.

---
Overall, this episode wasn't really about Abbud at all. It was kind of just an all around trip that didn't focus on him at all. Once again, I don't know anything about him except the fact that he likes Tea. Oh, and he almost died. And I discovered that Chris is my favorite character, the only good part about the episode.

Skins. Boring again! Hope next episode gets better with Michelle, although she doesn't seem that interesting either. You're so tame now, I want the old Skins back! Or maybe I should just start watching the UK Skins now. I'm annoyed now too because I think all of the characters are actually not that great at acting. This episode only exemplified it. Skins, I'm like Tea, I can't decide if I like you or not.

But I like this song...:)
