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
Made it to what should have been the season 11 finale. Episode 39. Thoughts so far below:
I'm actually mad at Dave. He both lost Ali her winnings and broke up with her too? Cop son behavior.
I don't like Katie but god Marisol, what a terrible thing to do and for drew???? And drew jesus christ stop being terrible.
Claire and fitz are cute. Shame about their parents. Maybe I don't hate step sibling pairings. 🤢
Jenna should have signed away custody to KC and let him figure it out. Though I do think it's unfair she didn't tell him before it was too late, you can't force someone to be a father especially someone like KC. That's always a back out situation, not tough it out.
The Connor plot was weird. I think stealing underwear is just hormonal teenager behavior and not aspic teenager behavior.
Shantay where you been?
Sav and a teacher would be bad if Sav didn't look 4 years older than her. But still gross and hope she doesn't make a habit of locking eyes with the seniors.
Also mention of Palestine and Isntreal, what a treat.
fuck dave, he sucks
marisol sucks, fuck her too. fuck katie too honestly. fuck drew too honestly.
lol that's not fitz but it might as well be
jenna and kc are both awful parents
that connor plot was dog dirt
sav and ms. oh is gross
Wait who is that guy? The step brother ? But also, got to the part where I need to say another fuck you to Jenna.
Claire was not out of pocket to react the way she did to both her parents and boyfriend.
yeah Jake is fake Fitz. Fitz was Christian knife guy but he's gone now. they just look identical
yeah i think there are a ton of annoying Clare moments but that was not one of them
This whole time I thought they were the same person! Oh my god. I thougt he changed his name aa part of the Christian conversation
lmaooooooo they dunked him in the waters of wasaga beach and he came out a new man
I was thinking he got a new step father from the church, name, and no residual anger from his past
awwww the church is just handing out supportive dads too? fuck, i might have joined as a teen lol
