dxg Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Yup, another truly great episode!Prepare yourselfs...Trying not to say anything that reveals the story, but is one episode that can't be missed.There were some awesome lines from Cassie in tonight's episode - the highlight was the comment to Sid that she'll always love him "and that's the problem."I've always felt so sorry for Cassie, and the dialogue with her teacher in the exam room really brought it all home. She's not nasty as people seem to make out but just so terrified of destroying everything she loves - even the harming / anorexia before her cafe epiphany in series one. This was why we saw so much of her bonding with Chris in this episode so we could understand her reaction. Her asking the teacher about control and Sid getting punched were so well interwoven... We finally got to see why she even sabotages the things she loves (eating, Sid, nips). We finally got to understand why she's a bit nuts now - terrified of loosing what she loves, but needs to control it and the only way she can do so is by destroying it -- wonderful!Did you notice the lift of the taxi driver and cafe sequences from her episode in series one? - there weren't totally identical, but their symbolism in her development was the same - a "touchstone" in her self-realisation. We were all reminded that this character's gone on a huge (professionally-assisted in places) journey and she's still as broken as she ever was, maybe more so. I just feel so sorry for her in the end - she'll never escape what she's running from and you just know that nothing good will happen to her from this point on. I suspect this is the last we'll see of her... Such a shame as she was the most complex character...The only let down was the cack-handed use of the apple to symbolise her loss of innocence when she finally realised for herself what she is is trying to run from, and the the cut to her running through the streets.Just thought of something else - compare her asking the taxi driver to go "somewhere nice" with her crying on the cafe guy's bed after she got there. We just know Cassie's going to come to very sad end (as she now thinks she can't control anything), but I doubt we'll ever get to know what that is.

cardaft Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Possibly the best episode yet i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxg Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hmmm. I feel somewhat let down by that ending, having invested so much in the characters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I can't believe it's ended! I have to say i'm really pleased they didn't completely write off the characters from these two series. It's great that's there's scope to bring them back when they need to because they have all come to their natural endings. In essence it's been a fantastic and really hard hitting series, it deserves awards imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v3rmin Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 was very good bit gutted now and Chris was a top character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty_Gti Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 great final episode. There is going to be another series with Effe being the main character, hope it revisits some of the current characters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I agree, yes the ending was a bit predictable but as long as you revisit some characters along the way then i don't mind too much. It'll prove interesting if the how the next series is received considering they're practically changing the whole cast, if it's as well written then i should think it would be ok.

v3rmin Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 how many different 'teenage' storylines are they really going to get from a new set of charcters though? I think they should have just carried on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 apparently the talent was too expensive?I read this a while back when they said they were going to cull quite a lot of characters as they cost too much!the guy that plays Tony is going to be directing a few episodes for the next series as well, if I remember correctly.

Adam K Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 i was a bit disappointed with this weeks episode, i thought last weeks was far far better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo_1.0 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 anyone see the new one that started tonight? looks the nuts should be good not to sure if it will be as serious as the last one maybe just a bit more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 The first series wasn't all that serious either though and then when you got to know the characters better it got a lot deeper and better storylines. I think the same will happen with this new series and the next series to be honest but only time will tell!It does seem like it'll be really good to watch though, I've missed it being on tv.

Adam K Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 what the hell was going on with last nights episode?mckenzie crook was playing the part of someone who should have been about 10 years older! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy'dup Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 i dont know whether its because i havent seen any other episodes ever, but i thought last nights was a bit disappointing after all the hype everyone gives it. Never mind each to their own i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Annoyingly I've realised that after 2 episodes they haven't really created any new characters for this series at all, they have just changed the actors and changed the names of the old ones.I know the original cast were intended to be pretty mental but surely they could have used the year off to create some new character traits for their "new" characters!!

al3x kay Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I thought the 1st episode was pretty good! Had some funny moments in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high on dirt Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 WHAT! NOT NEW CHARACTERS! are you joking? who have you ever seen johny White? or Cook taking him on, yes the same structure kids out of their minds messing with the real world but thats it! The latest was great, so in the head of Cook taking the moment as it came, the structure of the episode was much the same, and thats what we need creative TV!
