hi! welcome to the mega. i'll kick us off
i've been a fan since i was a literal child, lol... i would watch the episodes airing on teenick (which became the incredibly self-serious The-N) and i was just enamored with the world: i loved the scenery, the characters, the stories, the cheesiness, the drama, everything. it was a perfect show. i would watch it and then self-insert as Spencer from South of Nowhere before going to bed. ok that's embarrassing but i'm leaving it in
i guess i drifted away from the show when i wanted to be edgy as a teen but nostalgia and this deep familiarity drew me back and i fell in love with the world again. it doesn't have to be dark and angry, it can address serious themes with a sense of hope and levity because it's not real life, it's Degrassi. it's a security blanket and honestly i couldn't ask for a better one.
by the way, i recently introduced the show to someone Very Important to me and it went incredibly well. my heart fluttered for like 5 minutes after we had the "i really liked it" discussion lol
anyway. i'd really like to hear everyone's experiences with the show. this is intended to be a free-for-all so just post whatever comments you want that don't really warrant their own thread. ok bye
Why is season 10 50 episodes???
They're trying to make KC the new Sean and I'm not buying it. KC screams suburban theater kid. Sean seeped bad boy.
Drew is a mixed bag for me. I mostly love how he treats Adam but everything else he does is so bad.
Eli was much cooler to me when I was younger, now he's kinda corny haha. Like super edgy for nothing. I like edgy, but it's gotta be self aware edgy. We get it, your past is tormenting. Stop self sabotaging because of it.
Also a minor gripe but that football team is so puny. How do they win haha they all have zero muscles.
Safe to say, I'm locked in enough to keep watching.
yeah KC should have been the new JT or something, he's a dweeb
Drew stinks and i hate him but wait and see where that goes lol
Eli is SO COOL ugh, i wanted to be exactly that as a kid before i realized those were just disguised trans feelings lol
the football stuff is so dumb lmao, that was actually a Nick decision to Americanize the show
i'm glad you're enjoying it enough to keep going, these seasons are bloated but there's some good stuff in there
Eli was definitely my personality when I was in high school haha but god, he's like an emo Craig to me
oh he absolutely is. they just wanted a Craig that didn't do cocaine
50 episodes and no graduation?? Blasphemy
