Thank you for the tag @canonicallyanxious!  I sat on it for a while because some of these are hard for me considering I’ve only watched the original and s3 of Druck.  I’m not even remotely capable of being objective about some of these questions. Anyway, let’s go!

Favorite non-canon queer hcs for any of the characters? Just one??? I have a lot.  Vilde is a lesbian is my biggest one, of course, but we all cut our teeth in this fandom on that one lol.  Magnus is not straight and has the biggest awed crush on Even and is lowkey jealous of Isak.  Noora and Eva are soulmates and will work that out at some point.  Sara and Leonie are pining future girlfriends.

Most iconic music moment?  Uggghhhhh, again trying to pick just one is harrdddd.  Okay, so I’m going to go with ‘o helga natt’ of course.  That whole scene was amazing but the music pushed it to another level.  ‘None of dem’ as the intro to Sana and her season was also inspired.  The whole vibe worked so well and of course the lyrics.  Then ‘Magenta Riddum’ in Druck -- it worked off the scene so well and made the entire thing feel so much worse than it already was and the point where it cut off was perfect.  I know a lot of that probably doesn’t count as ‘iconic’ but those are the things that instantly spring to my mind when I think music in this show.

Most iconic cinematography moment?  Now I’m a sucker for pretty cinematography and I could ramble at length about everything I find really pretty in these shows.  But iconic???  I dunno.  I always come back to the rainbow light playing over Matteo’s face in that one shot that’s really disorientating because the camera is in such an odd position before it starts to move.  Or (and this is more a series of moments not just one) maybe the ones where we’re not necessarily told that Matteo drags David’s pictures round like a lovesick puppy but we see it.  They move around his room, and the one he pulls off his wall comes back all scrunched up but still treasured.  I dunno.  I just love that one thing you can do with cinematography is show something and enhance a scene without having to have the characters say anything.

Most underrated clip across all of the SKAMs?  I don’t know????  I think most of the important ones are already pretty rated lol.  But maybe the one in s4 where we see Sana start to pray for the first time and it’s so beautiful and peaceful and it looks so gorgeous and you feel how much comfort it brings her.  I don’t even know what it’s called, but I do love that one and you don’t tend to hear much about it.

Favorite dynamic across all of the SKAMs? Can be romantic, platonic, antagonistic, or anything in between.  Again, I can’t pick just one.  Isak and Even and Matteo and David are givens of course.  They are respectively what hooked me on each of these shows.  But I also love Isak and Sana, Matteo and Amira, Isak and Jonas, Noora and Eva, the Druck boy squad, The Druck combined squad, Eskild and Isak, the Skam girl squad.  Just so many.  These shows are really good at friendships and creating believable dynamics.

Favorite scene from OG and favorite adaptation of that scene?  Well, we’re very limited here because I have literally only seen one season of one remake.  So we’re going with something from s3 of course.  I guess I’m going to go with the kitchen scene in the original (not my favourite, but it’s up there) because I love the ‘morning after’ scene/s in Druck so much.  The first of course is David telling Matteo he’s trans and is the direct correlation.  It’s so very very different in a lot of ways but one thing both scenes have is a lot of trust and vulnerability and also some hesitation and stuff left unsaid and unknown.  Then there’s the morning after in episode 10, which works in terms of being after both couples have slept together.  And that’s just one of my favourite scenes from either show.  The conversation and the banter, how loving they are with each other and yet how stupid and messy they can be with each other too.  And the bits with Laura in the kitchen and how they echo Eskild and Noora: both couples open and out with their close ‘family’ in a way they haven’t really been before.

Are there any clips from the OG you think a remake did better?  I don’t think so???  In Druck’s case, I think what they do really well is adapt the scenes to fit their characters and situations.  So are they better?  Nope.  But I like that they don’t just transfer an exact copy but let the characters dictate the way they will adapt certain things.  They do some direct copies and imo those are often the weakest scenes.  Now, do I hope that s4 does some things better?  Oh yes.  I have some scenes from that season that need fixing asap.

Any clips from the OG you think cannot possibly be made better? Pause.  That scene works so well and I can’t imagine it being able to be bettered.  Again, I’m glad Druck didn’t even try.  What they did worked for their characters while not transferring the bits that genuinely just wouldn’t have worked.

If you could choose any characters from any of the SKAMs to be part of your squad, who would you choose? David, Isak, Matteo, Even, Carlos, Eva, Chris B.  I can’t pick Sana or Amira even though I love them because they’d scare me as friends and I’d just be tense all the time.

Which character do you think is most likely to end up becoming a cat parent? Hmmmmm.  David maybe.  It fits his aesthetic and also Matteo is half cat anyway.

What country do you want the next skam remake to belong to?  I don’t know.  I have no preferences.  All I ask is that they adapt it properly to their own culture and don’t try to exactly copy what the original did. 

Okay, so now for questions of my own.  This is the hard bit!

1. What clip or clips would you rec to someone to showcase what Skam (or your fave remake) is about?

2. What food has Skam or a remake made you want to try?

3. Which character’s social media do you think reflects them the most?

4. In a similar vein: favourite social media post?

5. Best use of music in each version you’ve seen?

6. Characters from each version who should be friends?

7. Do you have fanart or fanartist faves?  Rec some?

8. Which squad do you want to join?

9. A clip that hits you in the emotions (can be happy or sad)?

10. One thing you’d like to see changed from each season? (sorry to those of you who’ve watched them all!)

11. Something from Skam or any remake that you think will stick with you forever?
