14x09 Somethings Got To Give

So for some reason as I was posting episodes 11-13 I noticed I skipped this one so time to jump back.

Imogen is looking at track uniforms saying to Jack and Winston how fashion is her fallback when she has nothing to say on DTV. She hears Hunter snickering and asks what is up. Hunter wants her to settle a bet and asks if the boobs he got sent were hers. Imogen is SHOCKED and Jack says they aren’t hers. Imogen finds out about Degrassi Nudes and is disgusted. Imogen plans to get to the bottom of it and Jack and Winston try to stop…Jack because she’s doing it and Winston because he knows the girls are doing it.

SEASON 2 CHARACTERS:

1x03 Family Politics -recap

This is the first of many class election episodes throught Degrassi’s history and while it’s not my favorite (that’s a toss up between DelRossi/Nunez season 4 and Matlin/Lewis/Mashkour season 11) it’s still a good episode.

This episode opens on Ashley on the phone with her best friend Terri saying how great this school year is ever now if only they could find Terri a boyfriend. It then goes into them talking about how Ashley is a shoe in for being class president as she’s running unopposed however she’s soon interrupted because someone is hogging the bathroom. Who is this someone you ask? Well remember when Toby said he and his dad were moving in with his dad’s girlfriend? Well said girlfriend is Ashley’s mom making Toby Ashley’s not quite step brother. Now it’s assumed that sometime during the series Jeff and Kate do get married however it’s done off screen and it goes from them saying we’re not siblings to referring to themselves as such.

1x01/02 Mother And Child Reunion --Recap

The series premiere and the sole two part episode of season one. Before I begin I want to make note about the quality of the season. It’s not as Hi def as later seasons go yet it’s still much better than the season 13 promos that look like they were filmed on IPhones but I digress.


Another thing of note this episode as being the bridge between the original series the brunt of the plot is about the adults. It’s their ten year High School reunion which is the center plot of this episode. The main three adults of note you meet or re-meet if you’re a better fan then me and have seen the original series are:

Christine ‘Spike’ Nelson- Emma’s mother who had her at sixteen

Archie ‘Snake’ Simpson- The constant of the series who was there for the original and is still with us today now as school Principal and one of the Directors of the show.

Joey Jeremiah- A used car salesman and recent widower who has a daughter Angie who is about to start Kindergarten. Angie is played by Alex Steele sister of Cassie who plays Manny. Alex recurs as Angie for the first three or four seasons before coming back as Tori in seasons 11 and 12. Hey I mean Roger Howarth can go from playing his One Life Alter Todd on General Hospital to playing Franco (who was an expy of James Franco the A lister who originated the role) while still playing Todd on pre-taped episodes of One Life 2.0 then it’s not that crazy with Alex right?

SEASON 1 CHARACTERS:

Before I get into each season I'll be posting a Character sheet:

Intro: TAKE 2

So I went back and forth pretty much since The Time of My Life ended pondering where to start and while I was fairly close to starting when the current seasons were little bitty minor niners back in season 8 I ultimately decided to go way back to season 1. This means 317 episodes however by the time the re-watch is done I assume 13A will be done or fairly close to it meaning there will be 325.


2 Part episodes and movies will be contained to one post to keep things streamline.


As far as my recaps go while my notes are being written scene by scene I may go back and fourth between scene by scene deconstructing and going from sub plot to sub plot. I’ll also try to go beyond a recap adding my two cents and pulling out parallels and nods to character development….or derailment though there are some cases that while popular consensus says it’s a derail I think it’s justifiable and not a case of W-T-Fuckery.


While some of the earlier episodes (like the pilot) do focus on some adult plotlines I may just gloss over them and focus more on the teens….we shall see


As far as tags each post will be tagged with the season and episode title as well as either recap or postmortem depending on what it is followed by major plot points. Since there can only be 20 tags/labels not all characters will be tagged but I’ll try to use tag at least the most involved ones.


Thanks for taking this ride and comments are open so feel free to engage and ask my opinions…..


Now let’s go back to the start…..

12x39/40 The Time of My Life—postmortem

An Intro: Whatever It Takes I Know I Can Make It Through

So….I recently remembered I’ve had this blog however with my discovery of Tumblr and other social mediums it’s been neglected since sometime in 2010 and well I realized that needed to change and so I’ve deleted all prior posts and hey….I may even give myself a title makeover and when all is said and done well….I think I just may embark on a project…..what kind of project you ask well…..I think I’m going to do a Degrassi re-watch. Okay I know what you’re thinking…..seriously you are going to watch all 400+ episodes and growing of the franchise…..no….and it may make me a bad fan but I’ve never even seen the classic years of Kids of Degrassi Street, Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High so this blog will focus solely on Degrassi:the Next Generation or as later seasons simply Degrassi. BUT you may say to yourself….that still is 300+ episodes and growing….where to start. Well….I don't know yet if I'll be taking my journey chronologically however if I do I'll most likely begin with season 8 (The season Clare became a series regular and Alli and Connor was introduced) or season 10 which was the first season that the show began running for super sized seasons of 40+ episodes. Whatever way I do re-watch I plan on recapping/commenting on season 13 as it airs so be warned of spoilers since I don't know how to code cuts here just yet.
