Skins Track #67: Skins Series 4 Episode 2 “Emily” 

Track Name: Dressed in Dresdan by The Hundred in the Hands

Played When: Emily went to Sophia’s house 

Commentary: 

This band does punk disco. Think about it? Punk disco. Happy but not happy is what that genre is. This is a moment where Emily feels this nagging feeling that the there is something more to Sophia and somehow she is connected to Naomi. At the same time she is still in denial. She is fighting her own instincts. However she can’t help but go. In essence the definition of punk disco. She wants to be happy but something isn’t right. 

Tomorrow unleashes the information for Series 7. Whether we are ready for it or not. 

Despite my disappointment in the handling of Series 7 in terms of information, transparency, and honesty I am curious about this series. I do believe they should have said that they had no idea what Series 7 would be about or say it was going to be Gen 2 centric from the beginning. However it happened and that’s that. 

Still upset but no use ranting about it every day, yeah? 

So here are my hopes and/or expectations for tomorrow. 

Casting: 
Jack O’Connell (Cook) 
Kaya S (Effy)
Lily Loveless (Naomi)
Kat Prescott (Emily)
Megan Prescott (Katie)

I hope that they have some Gen 1 people like Hannah Murray (Cassie), April Pearson (Michelle), Mike Bailey (Sid), and Larissa Wilson (Jal.) I would like to see some Gen 1 love along with Gen 2. However I doubt it will be Gen 1 prevalent but I hope I am wrong.

General Thoughts: 
They say it is going to be three Mini movies about the transition from being a teenager to an adult. It seems like a really thematic approach which could be quite interesting. I think that they may address certain things; however, I feel like not all our questions will be answered with Series 7. 

I think that it will be more plot driven and it will not be a reunion show. I also think it will be Cook and Effy heavy. 

I will have more of my thoughts after everything is announced tomorrow. What do you guys think? Answer here or send me an ask with your opinions, hopes, or expectations on Series 7.

Skins Tracks #66 - Series 4 Episode 2 “Emily” 

Track Name: Sky Father by 6 Day Riot 

Played When: Going to school for the Day 

This is a haunting song in many ways especially with the horns. I feel like in this part of the episode. The music represents that mix of wanting to believe things are good and slowly realizing that the perfect life you thought you had slowly crumbling around you. This is a great song. 

Skins Tracks #65: Skins Series 4 Episode 2 “Emily” 

Track Name: Sweet Disposition by The Temper Trap 

Played When: The beginning of the episode

What I find interesting is that they use this as the song to introduce the episode in which huge turmoil happens for our favorite Gen 2 couple. It’s a song that sets the tone that everything is good. Things are starting to take flight. Dreams are being realized. Yet there is a hidden urgency to the song in my opinion. That seems to make people fall further when the floor gets yanked from under them. Like it did for Emily.
