12x29/30 the Time of My Life RECAP…..

I can’t believe it….we did it….we went full circle as the first thing posted aside from an intro post about my madding idea to rewatch and re-cap every episode was the postmortem for this episode when it aired back in June…..man time flies when we’re having fun….. As for what happens next…..while I don’t plan on starting a season 13 re-watch until after the completion of 13C at the latest I may go back and recap some of if not all the webisodes if the mood strikes me (if nothing else I’ll be commenting on the remainder of Dorm Life as episodes roll out) …..

Imogen and Eli are making their way toward the Prom venue to meet Fiona though Imogen seems more flustered than usual. Eli observes that she still hasn’t opened her final report card. She’s worried cause if she failed she will have to repeat senior year instead of going off to school with Fiona…..she failed. Fiona shows up and she hides her card as Fiona opens the door and reveals the venue all set up…..

WHATEVER IT TAKES (title card)

11x26/27 Take A Bow--RECAP

First off this episode leaves me with mass confusion ….why is Graduation BEFORE Prom? I’d live with the assumption that with the crackdown and everything that by the time Simpson caved and green lit the event to be off campus this was the earliest they could attain the venue.

Anyway the episode opens as Anya, Fiona, and Holly J are talking about Prom is a few days away….well after grad….well after Holly J and Anya graduate. They end up running into Charlie who invites the trio to her first art show. Holly J asks if Fiona is going to go but she says no things are rather complicated.

Degrassi Takes Manhattan RECAP

I don’t know if this set of episodes/movie had an alternative title or not for what for all intents and purposes would have been episodes 20-23 however it’s interesting to note that while it’s packaged with the season nine DVD (wrapping up the seniors plots by showing the graduation of Danny, Peter, Jane…) it also served as the launch of the first of three summer ‘Novella’s’ that Degrassi had (mainly setting up Fiona’s arch for the first few episodes of season ten) The movie also brings up the ship that shant be named in the Degrassi fandom though like I said looking back at ‘Holiday Road’ maybe it wasn’t so WTF that came out of nowhere after all. And speaking of the ship that shant be named this movie (so far) is the last appearance of any of the season one student cast sans a season eleven webisode appearance of Paige.

The film opens on a deserted and messy hallway, it’s the last day of school and the seniors are returning books and getting ready to blow the school forever. Spinner closes down the Dot for an hour and Jane, and Danny are pulling Sav out of his final class wile Peter is setting up equipment outside on a stage. The final bell rings and the band is playing an impromptu show.

Declan and Holly J meanwhile are in the lab counting down until New York and generally making out.

Clare comments asking how Alli could fit all her skimpy school cloths in her locker (which aren’t all that bad like I’ve noted in the past….though definitely not what her parental would approve of) she mentions someone is coming and Clare gets all blushy saying goodbye to Declan. Holly teases him asking if she’s going to stalk him to the city and he just laughs it off.

WHATEVER IT TAKES (well a title card comes up)

7x24 We Built This City recap

Toby comments she thought Liberty would be studying for finals however she tells him she’s been busy with Prom and Grad plans. Speaking of plans he asks if she’s up for a post grad rededication of the ‘JT Yorke Memorial Zen Garden’ Miss H approved that the two of them, Emma and Manny can have a private get together after graduation. Damian buys tickets for Prom for him and Emma however he and Liberty end up flirting. She gets a phone call the school just won a radio contest and Natasha Beddingfield is playing at prom (and que Pocket Full of Sunshine)

WHATEVER IT TAKES (bye bye instrumental opening it was nice knowing you….wish you returned in season thirteen instead of the dreck we have now)

5x18/19 High Fidelity

Wow time flies and we’re now at the end of another season….five down and seven more to go….well eight if you count season thirteen already in progress. Also fun fact…. Part two of this episode makes the hundredth episode can you believe we’ve gotten this far already….for the record as of this posting 322 episodes have aired (320 since I’ve actually typed this up and placed this post into the queue)…..

Manny and Emma ask why Darcy didn’t come into the Dot for coffee however Spinner shoos them away so he can have time with Darcy. Darcy tells Spinner she got a councilor job at bible camp and is going to miss Spinner all summer. He’s going to miss her too and they start to make out however before they get too far Darcy stops him telling him they made an abstinence vow to stay virgins till marriage…..virgin…yea Spinner is one of those.
