    An interesting ending to the Skins "saga" for sure. The first trailer for Skins Series Seven told us "Time Changes Everyone", and I think they hit the nail on the head. The Cook we see here isn't the hyper-active shag-whatever-he-sees Cook from the third and fourth series. He is grown up, more conscious, and, as Louie puts it, "straight down the line, no f**king about...".

    It's a strange change for Skins fans, granted. We were so used to seeing Cook as the "Ace of Spades" who charged his way through without a care in the world. But there's something about this new Cook which makes him just as amiable. We still see glimpses of the old Cook (in the pub), and finish on a scene which brings him back into a full circle with the ending of the fourth series, from which he has been hiding from ever since.

    It is a contemplative ending the Skins, and perhaps not the best for a fan of the first six series, but if you have grown up like the characters, it makes for quite a poignant ending. It's just a shame it's all over.

    When I first heard that skins had started over again with the good old characters I was excited, than as started watching I got more and more disappointed. The Effie story was not believable at all; the Cassie story was even more stupid. She used to be this quirky but funny basket case, and now all of a sudden she was completely normal, working at a diner and being stalked, than becoming a fashion model.(which was highly unlikely her character) And now the whole story with cook… I guess he's destiny was the least surprising of them all a: mid level drug dealer.

    But since when did cook become such a white knight!? In the previous seasons he didn't care about anyone but himself ,now all of a sudden after he witness he's boss kill one of the other mid level dealers, whom was having and affair with he's wife. Cook takes off with the gangsters girlfriend whom he suppose to save, along with he's own girlfriend

    Cook was never any smart, so the fact that he's a drug dealer didn't surprise me. But the fact that he's a dumb blue eyed drug dealer seemed a bit too far fetched, I mean back in the old skins days, he was usually the one with the contacts in the underworld. So why portray him so naive now? I'm not surprised by the fact that he got a soft spot for girls, he always thought with he's libido, but the whole: I'm gonna play white knight and save her, is just so not cook Never gonna understand why they always gonna have a dialog with the bad guy, instead of just killing him. The entire second episode seems more like the plot for a bad American movie. Oh yeah, when you hiding in the woods from a gangster who wants to kill you, it is always smart to go around screaming for a missing person. I get that it's someone you care about but still not really logical. Not to mention that cook who always got in a fight back in the days, now fights like girl. They should've just left the old series alone instead of coming up with this crap. But I guess some of the cast was trying to move on from skins, I know that Hannah Murray who plays Cassie wasn't all that interested in going back. But she said she liked the new Cassie( I guess she needed the money)and that's why she came back *******************************Be ware spoiler*********************** When Cook got a chance to end it all he refuses,and let the mob guy live,even though he just killed he's girlfriend and her parents(which didn't make sense)that part just got too stupid,did he really think that the gangster boss wouldn't come after him just cause he managed to beat him in a fist fight?? Get real
