best show ever.

that weird chick that he roots in college - i think it has some connection to 'animus' which is like our alter ego (google/wiki it).

Because in the class, the lecturer guy goes "do you know what animus is?".

the episode where cassie goes to NY is pretty awesome also.
can somebody explain why the guy leaves and turns over all the photos?
i thought there was an "adam" and cassie eating the "apple" connection, but i cant work it out.

Oh, it was animus. Er, in Latin it means mind or soul. So yeah, alter-ego thing could work. People have been saying that all the people at that university were either representations of his own personal traits, his obstacles and his desires --- and I think I know which one that girl fits into. As for the photographer... no idea.

I'm still getting over the fact that people's lives can be sooo messed up. The show makes be feel better... even though it's fiction >>

yeahh she's his animus.
after they have sex he goes back to the lecturer and is all yes i know what an animus is, etc etc.
does anyone know what the tattoo is of though? like is it symbolic at all?
and whats the significance of the lecturers burns on the train?

and yeah i don't quite get the whole adam apple thing, but im guessing something to do with adam and eve, and the apple in the garden of eden, as well as the big apple/new york?

ah i love skins so so much. i finally just got both my seasons on dvd back after sending them around my whole grade haha. but now we must wait foreeever for season 3 :mad:.
so devo theyre changing the cast. but at least effy's still in. she's my favourite :).

Someone smart needs to write a hardcore guide to interpretating this series, did not at all guess that dude killed himself. Makes total sense.

Ima thinking this show may make a good related text. Or perhaps I'm just looking for an excuse to watch it.
I was thinking that.
But for it to be a related text you neeed to re-watch it heaps of times takin notes of techniques, symbols and all that jazz. It'd kinda wreck it for me.
