皮囊 第七季

Effy's going to jail, Naomi's going to die, Emily's going to be even worse than death. Most of the viewer of the last episode of skins, cannot cope with tragic endings like that, including me at least for a while. For me, personally, it's not the death or prison that bothers the most, it is the non-dramatic way of telling almost nonchallently, of the most tragic ending that one can think of is happening right in front our eyes while pretend not a big deal of it. Instead of showing meanings to us, all is simply impled by. Those viewers seek for some kinda closure of the whole skins series aren't gonna get it, for there left so many lose ends; those who hope for drama aren't gonna get it, disappointed by its realistic telling of dramatic event and its anti-clamax of an ending; Those who expect twists and turns would surprise and flip at the extreme lack of it. Despite all that, we should decide to love it, after all that is the end we get in life.

The first thing needs to be clarified is that television becomes no less inferior than literature these days, at least for some good television shows like Skins, it is true. A fact we need to come to terms with. And as no sensible readers would curse the writer and demand him to rewrite an ending that he doesn't like, television is not an negotiation as well. For those who think it is, well you are so self-involved to hook on the delusion of it. That's the sole lie the life-shows nowadays are depending on you to believe, a conviction that the power's in your own hand. For Christ sake, what a convenient flattering that is! As sensible viewers, we see right through it, we accept what we got and try to appreciate the beauty of it.

After all, Skins fire. As the title suggests, it is about lights, destruction and rebirth. And a terrible beauty is born. Adulthood is such a terrible beauty. Especially for Effy, once aloof, indifferent, omniscient goodness in her little circle, washed by fire, and reborn into human. Of course, there's some sacrifice along the way. So walking out of paradise full of drugs, parties and hormones, here she is, taking three steps of becoming human as we know it.

Step one, compassion.
"I want to feel something, I want to be hurt! Come and hit me!" The girl ran into the middle of the street and exclaimed a death wish in front of world. That's near the ending of Effy's teenage years, almost the last we see her. Since then, apparently, the wish has come true. In fire, we see Effy's feeling, invisible as it always is, all over the place. The way she bites her finger nails watching Naomi on stage doing shitty comedy and being laughed at, the way she cries when being yielded at the truth of Naomi's illness, the way she goes blank hearing the doctor said the drug doesn't work and the way stares Naomi lying on the CT scan thereafter runs out of room, and the way she panics holding Naomi in her arms puking all over the place-- we never have seen Effy going through all levels of emotions before, not merely for herself, but for her best friend, for Naomi and Emily. With herself, she can be tough, takes it on her own: "I am fine", when Naomi asks she used three words as such to conclude it, even if she's not. Far from doing nothing, as Naomi accuses her to be, she's doing everything she could to hold it together, being tough for her, can't stop feeling for her but has to conceal it for her. That is not sth she told us, That's sth we sense. For those who love Naomi and Emily with such a bias to take in everything they say, myself included, might look beyond the surface and see they are blocked by own individuality as well. In fact, compassion is all Effy is in fire, "she has such big love inside of her, just needs to be let out, and the possibility to let out scares the hell of her" Effy's mom knows her nature well. Well, at least she smiles at the end, typical Effy smile, as if to say "you don't know me at all", or maybe this time, it says: "I can feel after all, i feel something". Compassion we know that is what makes us all human, and from the moment she feels it, Effy is no longer mysterious and inappoachable fairie, she is one of us, human.

Step two, mortality.
Naomi's death really provided an occasion for mourning, mourning for the beauty being tragically destroyed. It is sad, true. But it is sensible, as we consider it. After all it becomes a tradition of skins, to kill one favorite character at a time of generation. And for generation 2, Freddie is definitely not the most favorite one. It is the thing had between Naomi and Emily that makes the most wonderful thing that the make-believe world of skins had created for us. And let's face it, the most beautiful thing as it always, is irreplacable. There's no carnation for that, no reborn in it (as they are lesbians) therefore, it is immortal. This is the reason they can't survive the mortal world of adulthood. One of them has to be destroyed, and the other along with it. And as if killing our favorite couple isn't cruel enough, Effy needs to witness and learn from the tragic of all this, to see the only positive unyielding love that exists in her past world being worn out by an incurable disease of mankind. From the moment her best friend told her the illness, Effy knows it's gonna go down like this, she knows it too well, so she can't stand watching Naomi pretend like nothing and make fun of herself in a comedy, yet she complains in the most minute ways, pissing Naomi about the rent which essentially means the burden all weighs down on her- she needs to be the rock, and it's fucking hard. Neither can she offer comforts to her like innocent Dom, cause she knew it better, the truth hurts so much that she can't fathom a way to act it otherwise. Again, like I said, Mortality takes its toll, for Effy, it is the farewell paid to the old world of her past with Naomily in it, a burning ritual she has to experience descending to the world of works in her fantasy, a brave new world of men. And Naomily is the sacrifice, given that Homosexuality implies in literature a longing for death in itself. The poet and beauty must die, so the rest of us can keep on living.

Step three, helplessness.
At times we can't help but wonder why things always go terribly wrong with Effy, no matter how fucking together they all seem in the first glimpse! The onmiscent soul of this childhood circle stumbles way out of their idealistic small world and find she's merely a tool used by more onmiscent forces way sophisticated than she is. Helplessness is the condition of humanity. It breaks her charm, make her helpless. Emily says: "We idolized her." Cook's fucking Dad: "You are too pretty for your own good, that's why you destroy everything you touch." Such are the contrast between surface and core of Effy. Lights and destruction all sealed in one, waiting to be born. And in skins fire, it burst alive. It is interesting to note that in retrospect, everyone around Effy ends in various tragic ways: her parents separated, her brother got hit by a car, Freddie got killed and Cook went down for his revenge, and we thought Naomily is the only exception for they are special, how naive we are! There's a certain helpless gravity for tragic in Effy that makes her so appealing and at once so heartending. It almost seems nothing stays with her, under circumstances like that one almost certainly can't help but hold itself to blame. God knows how she serectly took the fault herself for all lost in life! In front of the mass of life, for the first time, we see her had no clue about what to do? It is Naomi in sick bed push some sense in her again, "Seriously what do we got, Effy? Well, I am going to die, what you gonna do? " That probably reminds her who she is and should be. After that, we see her picking up Emily at airport, possibly she called her up and reveal the truth as she should in the first place; then she made deal with victoria to tell on boss under sole condition that dom is untouched. She made the right choice eventually, as she used to be. Better late than never, taking responsibility for what she did like a fucking adult. It takes her edge off, which still makes me angry, not at her, but at the fucking real world of ours that rounded with such a flame in the first place. Yet the most helpless as it always was in Effy is the fact that she has to play the help all her life, which means no one helps Her, that she is truly THE most helpless one. That leads to off-putting love affair with her boss. But seriously cut her some slack, please. Leave aside the fact that boss is adulthood look-alike of Freddie, probably an unintended happy coincidence, she's lonely, and extremely so after a load of pressure landed on her, taking care of best friend mentally and financially, watchig them being happy and all that. What do we expect her to do, instead of cutting herself and going mental in the bathroom, isn't it much healthy distraction to find a man to love and entertain a little fantasy that somebody got her back? Dom and Boss, she picked the one who pays her rent, so that Naomi didn't have to. And that, for me, makes character of Eff, most lovable and lamentable beyond all.

The Effy who used to smile her mysterious smiles that says "you don't know me at all", still smiles at us in the end. Is it sort of mock or self mock? for many a thousand viewers shall this, her mock, mock out of their retardness after seeing all she went through still don't see who the hell she is; mock herself from dreaming our world to be hers therefore making effort to it; mock grown-ups down, and others yet ungotten and unborn that shall have cause to curse the city that bereaves her Eden and beloved from earth.

Skins fire comes to an end. The followings, in this order, comes pure and rise. It is interesting to note that in the trailor the order has been rearenged: it should be rise, fire, and pure. That is to say the actually serie begins in the medres, classic order of story telling. And it should be expected to return to rise in a circle, suggesting to a eternal reoccurrence of the proccess. Therefore, we have reasons to believe fire is the brutalest one, perhaps things would pick up tone a bit: in pure, it might smooth out a bit, going for depth; rise probably going to be full of struggles but worth it. But eventually, as the trailor so artisticaly hints at: three individual under one skin, going through phases, transforming into one another's life. Step by step, we walk out of ourself, into hers, into his then eventually back to our own skins. All change and changed utterly, a terrible beauty is born.

预告片很好得误导了观众，竭力把大伙往成长与改变的路子上引，再加点煽情段落混淆视线，于是我觉得有必要在青春的脸上抽一巴掌，然后揭发一下皮囊这一整个系列意图教导大家的一个基本指导理论。

最初看Skins是被什么吸引了？“青春靓丽”的演员，“英式忧郁”的气质，别骗人了，明明就是发现里头的人到处乱搞，没事就露屁股觉得很刺激，然后就入坑了吧！
那我们就节省时间把目光聚焦到故事里几段重要的床戏上：

Effy操老板，害了Dom
Cassie操同事，害了Jokob
Cook操Charlie，害死了Emma，一家

而这种主角作死，炮灰陪葬的桥段在skins里也屡见不鲜
Cassie饿死，是因为Sid操Michelle
Tony被撞，是因为Michelle操Sid
Effy注射过量，是Tony作孽搞了Michelle高富帅蓝盆友的妹妹
Thomas暴走，因为Panda操Cook
Effy暴走，因为Freddie操Katie
Freddie暴走，因为Effy操Cook
Cook暴走，因为他可以操所有人
你以为搞拉就不折腾了么？
Naomi也害死过一夜情妹子，Emily操JJ
Fred被变态医生打死，Effy终于操到自己想操的人但是操太多操不下去了
皮三代里唯一清新可人的Grace，是被大脑充血的Franky婊害死的
Chris是片子里唯一操对人的，可惜他还是死了，为什么呢？因为编剧要破坏Cassie和Sid之间最后一丢丢可能性。

所以，勒紧裤腰，没事不要总是下半身先行，即使为了环保，也要少用几个套。可能再过几年都遇不到这么糟烂的剧本了，但又高度浓缩，一网打尽你能见到最纠结的性关系网，终于完成了普济世人的目的。
Skins是很多人的一个念想，因为我们大部分人都没敢那么疯过，但很遗憾的说，不是抱着必死的决心就不要尝试了，你看里头有一个是好下场的吗？没有吧？
加紧腿好好学习，早早上大学做个有用的人，另外还要记得远离给老板送逼的贱货，整天做白日梦的傻妞，和有前科还搞老板女人的惯犯。






最后还是要表达一下本人对于Cook大王的敬仰，不愧是skins中最有影帝气质的，眼神气场和结实的胸肌，都非常到位。而就事业发展和作品质量上也一直都证明我的眼光是不错滴。
相对而言，Effy和Cassie的进步就很微弱了，前者上一次闪光是在Robbie Williams的MV中客串高贵冷艳的Effy2.0，后者的highlight应该是Tim Burton的烂片Dark Shadow里一掠而过的嬉皮士小妞（不要和我说独立电影，一部都没看到怎么评论）

个人觉得，effy没变，naomi也没有
  well，骨子里来说是这样的
  effy性格里的特点，迷茫、渴望爱、野心勃勃、聪明伶俐、心高气傲，在fire里都被保留并且扩大
  她是成熟些了，青春期过后走上社会，一套套职业装穿在身上相得益彰，待人处事官方得体，自信两个大字明明白白写在脸上
  本质上真的有变吗，回顾一下，一开始她就是个小秘书，但她心里其实一直不甘寂寞想要上位，才会默默在家里下功夫，结果职场人心叵测，买了炮仗给别人放了，那个别人还因此被上司大加赞誉，心里就更不能接受了，她是effy啊这对她来说简直是耻辱，从那之后她内心的欲望就愈发强烈，想要打败vic打败所有人摆脱loser境遇摆脱白痴同事jane
effy不就是这样吗，不服输，以前表现在永远一副'i dont care'的样子，表现在对fred的强烈占有欲上，表现在凌驾于一切的姿态上
  还有对感情，很多人抱怨fred一点都没有被提到，effy怎么可以move on so fast，我们想象中effy应该是一蹶不振的，可那还是effy吗，从最一开始她就是最会掩饰自己感情的人，可能因为家庭跟其他种种因素，她渴望爱又极其怕受伤害，把脆弱都藏在心里，表面像个没事人，所以我们看到她爱着fred枕边却是cook，所以她在社会上被欺负了也不会吭一声
  她能够表现的这么漠然应该也不奇怪了，而这一次，也还是装的而已，她对fred还没有完全放下内心深处还留有那么一块位置
  导演想要告诉我们这一点的意图不能再明显了——找了个这么像fred的人来演上司
  开始jake给了她机会，让她看到希望，让她大展身手，让她感受到自己是被信任被赏识的，内心的那颗种子开始膨胀，踏上不归路
  直到最后她自首时说“i thought it was real”，她对jake是动了真感情了，不止是借他上位跟他上床，effy每一次被naomi搞的心烦意乱都去找jake寻求温暖，看到jake为了公司的事烦恼会心疼，动了真情她才会被骗被利用，随便哄两句“you are brilliant”就上了钩，为爱为欲望奋不顾身铤而走险
  可怜的dom，也就是我们常说的“屌丝、备胎”，在这时候就被“女神”利用了。典型的高智商低情商IT男，卑微的爱着effy，深觉自己什么也不能给她，就毫无原则得泄给了她两次金融机密，让effy越陷越深也让自己作茧自缚。
  effy对他不能说一点感情都没有，她在歇斯底里的时候看到对面认真工作的dom，立刻平静下来，dom对她来说是温暖可靠正能量的，naomi发病的时候她求助的也是dom不是jake，要说dom缺在哪里，（缺了张fred的脸）缺在镇不住effy吧，实在太软
  从effy的所作所为还有她的结局来看，她并没有成长多少，太嫩，还是那个蠢蠢欲动不甘寂寞的少女，还是会在酒吧舞池里放纵自己以求解脱的浪子，还是表面云淡风轻内心七荤八素的effy，只是社会压力职场压力下，披上成熟的皮囊and seems tough
  最后在警车里，她笑了，我觉得是如释重负，自己活得这么累身边的人和事这么shitty，每分每秒都绷紧神经过活，终于他妈的了断了，终于他妈的解放了。同时也同意吧友“汀汀555”的说法，牢狱之灾对她来说并不是坏事，是重生，是真正的成长。这一次，她会好好看清自己，effy，她会脱胎换骨，重新做人。
 这是skins留给我们的effy，多年后的effy，不尽如人意但真实，成长不是一蹴而就的，即使是对聪明绝顶的effy来说。
  
  

  再来说说naomi，三四季里优秀而正能量的她，在fire里成了useless stoner，落差确实很大，什么改变了她？
  什么都没能改变她，她的正义凛然她的坚守原则她的孤独跟倔强，不都好好地放在那里吗
   不管什么场合不管你是哪个大人物，让老娘陪笑怎么也做不到，你们这群人就是disgusting，你堵住我的嘴我也要说我也要大声说，就他娘的一辈子看不惯你们，老娘偏不尿你们这壶，Fuck you all.
   跟世俗的格格不入，让她选择了单口相声，那个“shit hole”处在社会最底层，几乎跟社会脱节，每天来的都是些不如意的loser，看似毫无逻辑，但或许只有这样的工作，naomi才愿意去做，说说三俗笑话也比被社会磨平棱角要好
   如此强大冷酷的现实，都没能够动摇naomi哪怕一点点，难道不值得钦佩吗，难道没有看到她竞选学生会主席时的倔强跟正义吗
   可就因为她太脱俗了，反被现实抛弃了，她就是那个在理想跟现实中踩空的人，不知道skins原创们是不是要告诉我们这个道理，才硬生生的把她写死了，“一个完美理想主义者一个坚守原则不趋于世俗的人终将枯萎”？ 这他妈就是skins精神？
   想让我们了解现实接受现实，大可不必这么偏激，我们看到她交不出房租看到她生活靡乱烟酒不离手就已经够了，癌症只是迎合“skins每季死一个讨人喜欢角色”的最拙劣的手段吧
   不知道有没有人跟我一样，会去想emily的感受，上帝把所有困难都放在了naomily面前，同性恋、异地恋、死亡，前两者都没能够拆散她们，但她们斗不过死亡
   真他妈难，爱一个人真他妈难，emily崩溃的那一瞬，我也崩溃了，naomi，她的至亲至爱，is dying，是不是太残忍了，若naomi去世了，emily要承受的是比死还痛苦的东西，想来都倍感心疼
   一直以来，naomily这对CP就被人寄托了无数的爱与希望，无关乎性取向，相信都会被她们感染，勇敢去爱并珍惜眼前人，这是她们影响我们的，也是编剧夺不走的
   面对这样的结局，除了安慰自己就当第七季没发生过，也安慰自己naomily其实并不存在，她们是我们想象中的最完美的情侣，pure and intense，这样一来，她们永远也不会死，活在每个人心里，继续做那对模范情侣。
 

一天兩季的節奏，刷完了皮囊，停不下来的想要看完。

第一二季的時候喚起了好多關於大英國的回憶，依然像藏在心底的真愛一樣，對其無法釋懷。

第三四季出現了全劇最愛的一對couple，Naomi和Emily，經歷了出柜以及後來的各種shit，最終還是毫無懸念的在一起了，只是吵闹分和的过程实在让人揪心的虐。特別讓人安心的一對兒，覺得不管發生什麽她們都不會分開。尤其是第四季第二集裡面的兩機車少女簡直是全劇最愛的一段！

第五六季不太喜歡，第三屆小孩裡面，Franky的逆襲簡直不能接受，太突然轉變太大。Mini簡直就是美劇誤入。男生們也很pussy，Cook就是American Pie里面的Stiff。

第七季，孩子們長大了。後媽編劇讓Naomi得了cancer。。。虐哭



过了两天了，还觉得陷在剧情里面无法自拔。虽然高中生活没有剧中那么颓丧的drugs啊叶子啊party啊，但是也够混乱了。比起美剧中那些高中生，skins孩子们的高中才是真正的青春！

不是最早看skins，却也看了五年了，也是追过最长的一部剧了，也是看的第一部英剧。
记得第一次看这剧的时候，心里直呼，英剧竟然尺度这么大，后来才懂了一个别人讲的道理“英国面前，美国只是假开放。”
记得一辆公交风驰而过，将tony和他未讲完的话撞飞；
记得手里拿着水枪和药，在山顶公园长椅上翩翩起舞，想要自杀的cassie
记得"傻乎乎"的sid唱着wild world
记得chris和jal的生死恋，葬礼上的"Fuck It"
记得在纽约街道上奔跑的cassie
…………
记得依着门，却拉着手的naomi和emily
记得不屑世俗的cook大魔王
记得effy马路上对着呼啸而过的车辆大喊"I'm not afraid"
记得naomi的那句"I love you so much that it's killing me"
…………
记得rich从重金属到和grace的小清新
记得liv的种种辛酸，怒扇mini，和rich在grace墓前的蹦蹦跳跳
记得rich听到孩子啼哭声的那句"bye"
…………
现在，
看见两人在医院外，两个相依，只能听见风声和雪的声音
看见emily卷着身在naomi怀中哭泣，看见effy一个人背着墙流泪
然后看见从泰晤士河放眼望去的冬日伦敦景象
看见了和第二季结束一样effy神秘的一笑
…………
看见cass再也忍不住，落泪
看见cass那一张张美翻了的照片
再也听不见cass的wow，取而代之的是低压着的背景旋律
看见cass从父亲手中接过rueben
看见cass坐在伦敦公园的一把长椅上，就像布里斯托尔的那把长椅上
…………
看见cook手上那个cook的纹身
看见犹豫不知是否跳进泳池的cook
看见cook的嘶吼大喊
看见举枪不定的cook
看见最后在雪中越走越远的cook

直到最后一片白芒的雪
skins的词打在屏幕上，不再是黑屏后再出现的制作者名单
不是每一季结束后的演员名单
再上tweet上看看，E4的背景图片也已不是skins的宣传照
我才想起
skins真的就这样结束了

我爱skins，不论哪一集，那一代
记得刚看skins时，我什么都不知道，也不知道做什么
现在，有了目标，有了理想
不是想说“skins改变了我”之类的话
只是想说：Skins,见证了我的成长
或许这就是我喜欢看英剧的原因
当我多年以后的某一天再翻出她来看的时候
我会回想起当年的我有何感触，生活又是怎样
skins正是我对青春的一份寄托
累的时候，乏了的时候，可以拿出来说，她陪伴过我的青春
或许有些矫情
时间真的在改变我们
想想当初看skins我们的感受，现在呢？
想想当初看skins我们的模样，再看看现在。
不过
time's changing everyone？
NO
time HAS changed everyone.
AND more
time's still changing everyone
and
bye

       第一次看skins是09年，那年我大二，当时已经出到了第三季。有个朋友很喜欢这部剧，也一直推荐我看。一天逛校园资源论坛的时候看到一个1-2季的合辑时候，下载完才开始看。当时年轻些，和多数人看到的一样，觉得skins就是讲一群荷尔蒙分泌旺盛的青少年，开了一场青春狂欢的爬梯。在这些角色和情结中，我们可以代入很多，比如对酒精的沉迷，对性爱的追求，甚至对大麻和烟草的依赖，还有如Cassie对Sid无可奈何的Forever love。那时我希望自己可以和他们一样，对家庭和父母的期待无所顾忌，甚至背离宗教和信仰，不管学校，不顾未来，只为青春，只为狂欢。
       从第三季开始，在评论下说要弃剧的人越来越多。我们对每两季换一批角色的设定不习惯，也更愿意相信第一二季的角色并没有离开。但是即便嫌弃，也这么两季两季的看下来了，并且越看越清晰。我开始认为编剧父子不仅仅是在讲荷尔蒙而已，而每两季都会有人死去，更像是编剧试图在以这种深刻的方式叙述他们想要对世界和青少年的看法。
       不和睦的家庭、精神疾病、性取向、药物滥用和死亡，每一个话题单独拎出来都很沉重，skins把它们都囊括进来。在第六季中Mini看着宝宝的那个挣扎表情，让我震惊到流泪。每个人心底都怀着最纯真的善意，对家人，对后代，这些感情都能够在每一季中看到。Mini父母离异，她的妈妈经常和不同的男人来往，甚至在家里大声做爱。她从破处开始就面临着选择，被朋友甚至男朋友认可，还是做一个特立独行的处女。Mini之后怀孕走投无路找到爸爸，习惯逃脱责任的爸爸成最后一点希望，却最终也将她置于不顾。Alo从得知Mini怀孕之后被惊吓到躲起来，Mini一个人去堕胎的时候看着宝宝的样子强忍着眼泪还是哭了出来。原本，Mini的家庭可以不破裂，她可以成为一个很优秀的女生，她可以不怀孕，她可以不要去面对要不要生下小孩的抉择。家庭破裂是被选择的，拥有怎样的青春是自己选择的，进行有保护措施的性爱是可以选择的，生小孩是一切选择之后产生的选择。所以，skins这些戏，这些一个个的悲剧和短暂的狂欢，是源于我们自己一个又一个的选择。
        翻skins的照片，除了很多人说弃剧，还有很多人说第七季烂。可是skins究竟讲的是什么，是嬉皮，是大麻，是酒精，是性，是青春，是狂欢？每个人都有自己的解读。Skins是这一切，又不仅仅是这一切。我们的青春的状态，源于家庭，源于社区，源于社会，也终究源于自己。如果家庭完整些，如果不是管教太宽松或是太严格，他们不会想要从传统中剥离出来。如果学校负责职业规划的大姐能再专业些，没准能安排好几个学生的生计。如果对爱情能够有所理解，Sid对Cassie的爱应该会有更多的回应。男孩特别是卢瑟尔对女神模样的女孩情有独钟，好像流了很多年的哈喇子，一旦有机会一定要上位，并且有多久待多久，还必须的念念不忘，特别骄傲。不管Cassie对他的爱有多深，似乎也看不到Cassie身上的美。讽刺的是，Cassie在第七季成了一位万众瞩目的模特。
       我很喜欢第七季，我觉得第七季升华了skins一直在叙述的庞杂的青春轶事。青春时期因为各种原因，他们选择了一种极端开放的姿态绽放青春，甚至因此而被逼面对死亡。第七季中，曾经年轻的人不再年少，Effy开始穿得像office lady，精通Excel，和boss打得火热。虽然在烦心的夜晚也会换上衣服去夜店跳一跳，但是Effy已经长大了，她和每个人一样都长大了。她不再因为别人的选择而精神分裂，她的生活开始由自己掌控。她选择怎么对待爱她的人和她爱的人，而她选择和大多数的年轻女孩一样，对帅气多金的boss情有独钟，利用爱她的可怜男孩取得情报，并且被boss利用完之后抛弃，以及让爱她的男孩溃不成军。这些都是她自己选择的结果。很多人接受不了Effy蹲号子，但你可以是Effy，你在你长大之后，在你面对这种利益抉择的时候，能够拿她做反面例子，做另一个正确的选择，那么Effy这个号子就蹲得有价值。
       对Cassie在第七季中的故事，还是没能给安排一个真爱，多少是有些怨念的。但是大家都挺开心的，毕竟大家心爱的女神成了模特，前途明朗。仔细想想，Cassie在很多时候都很冷静，比如即便孤独也拒绝滥交，以及在第一次为高端杂志做模特时拒绝中年多金男的毒品，少有朋友却不过多参与妓女邻居的邀请。她的生活并没有糟到没办法解开，她有美而不自知的特质，并且心系家庭。这样的女孩应该得到幸运的眷顾，而且编剧确实是这么做的。
       Cook的故事很沉重，在前面他为Freddie杀死一位变态的心理医生，并在第七季中一边逃亡一边做一位毒贩子。逃亡的时间，Cook有很多思考的时间，编剧也把他从没大脑的种马转变为有思想有担当的男人。Cook在第七季中面对了很多艰难的选择，并且每一个选择都能将他指向险要的境地。Charlie要Cook和他做爱，Cook第一次拒绝免去他一开始的杀身之祸，第二次因为Charlie提起他的往事没有拒绝，却将她这个定时炸弹绑在了身边，并最终害死了相爱的Emma。但Cook没有再杀死boss，是对此前杀人罪行的自我救赎。
        结局很多人不喜欢，因为剧从青春中起，就应该从青春中落。比如青春应该完美，Effy不应该蹲号子；青春应该有爱情，Cassie应该和Sid团聚；青春应该张扬跋扈，Cook应该杀死boss并且和bitch私奔。但这一切都没有发生，因为我们成长了，我们应该思考，做出一些正确的选择，为自己的人生开路。

       Cook最后的独白

you think you know death
but you don't
until you've seen it
really seen it
and it gets under your skin and lives inside you

you also think you know life
you stand on the edge of things and watch it go by
but you are not living it
not really
you're just a tourist
a ghost
and then you see it
really see it
and it gets under your skin and lives inside you

and there's no escape
there's nothing to be done, and you know what?
it's good, it's a good thing
and that's all I've got to say about it.
