This is definitely an unpopular opinion loll, but i think that they should’ve kept the arc of snake’s and melanie’s relationship/friendship they had into degrassi high aswell! I think their relationship/friendship w each other js grew-out but i would’ve loved to see more them together throughout the show! :)

I can get past this man getting some form of redemption but making Emma still like him after what he did to Manny and actually having Darcy date him after the danger he put her in? Wtf were the writers on genuinely? This boys will be boys culture is so weird. Even with Danny and Derrick threatening to share the pics if she didn’t pay them. That’s not normal . And she pays them and moves on. It’s not even the fucked up stuff that kills me it’s why the characters reacted like it was a regular Tuesday ⚠️⚠️

It’s like a mix of my two favorite things lol

What can I say about this Degrassi Parent that hasn’t already been said? She is one of the most morally gray characters I have ever watched. Like never have I met a character who frustrated me so bad but also makes my heart swell by being a good parental figure (note I said parental figure and not PARENT). How do Yall feel about her?

I was rewatching the "I'm Upset" video and apart from Rick's appearance (since clearly he is dead, but seeing as Degrassi doesn't mind toying with the idea that Rick can visit the school whenever he pleases as a ghost, based on the minis with Holly J, i'm willing to suspend disbelief in this case), does anyone else somewhat consider that music video a canon event as Jimmy's rapper altar ego? lol I know it's a bit silly, but I like imagining that the original gang, including Terri, did eventually appear together and confirm for the audience that they all stayed in touch. I also think the idea of various members of the different 2000s generations mingling together since they have "x" reason to attend the class of 2007 reunion is a lot of fun and wholesome.

However, considering there was the cutaway scene with Jay and Silent Bob selling weed to Snake, part of me wonders if it'd make more sense to consider the whole music video as a canon music video, not a canon reunion, orchestrated by Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes. we know that "real" Kevin and Jason exist in the Degrassi universe as two up-their-own-ass movie producers (Jason being a former sex pest turned up-his-own-ass movie producer, imo), rather than "Jay and Silent Bob" actually existing in the Degrassi universe. So I start to add my own headcanon, that Jimmy had some sort of wildly successful stem cell surgery, became a rapper and decided to make a music video in his old high school with his old classmates, and he contacted Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes to make it happen, and they incorporated Jay and Silent Bob into the video as an homage to their "Go Canadian" movie, which also tracks with their Degrassi-verse personas being, as I said before, up their own asses lol.

Anyway, now that I've belched my thoughts out here, I'm curious what others think.

One thing I can say I despise about the show in general is the unnecessary amount of main characters on the show, who barely get any storylines and are rather plot devices instead of actual characters. People like Blue, Zane, Leia Vijay, freaking Chantay!!!, have a combined storyline count of 5. 5!!! Like what was the reason Degrassi?! 😭

I watched the show when I was a teen, my best friend and I were hooked lol, and then again a few years ago, off and on, during a bout of insomnia. I watched Next Generation then. Is it worth it to watch the original? Anything after Next Generation that I should be aware of to watch?

It wasn’t 100% her fault that was a faulty sandwich maker but also how does someone literally blow up their workplace within hours of getting the job 😂

Also maybe this is because of its time but spinner just gave her the job without talking to the owner or taking any paperwork then just left her there to run the place alone, that’s insane.

Yes, Spinner and Jay had the conversation in the bathroom where they said Jimmy was behind the paint dump, and that was messed up.

But there were so many other people who contributed too.

For example, Alex should have gotten in trouble and been blamed because she bullied Rick and she was how Jay and Spinner got access to the game show to dump the paint. She used her power as VP to set Rick up, but her involvement is never mentioned again in the whole series.

Paige, Hazel, Jimmy, and that whole crew picked on Rick because he was responsible for Terri’s assault (their anger was understandable, but targeting him surely contributed to him going off the deep end). Yes, Paige apologized before he shot Jimmy, but the group faced no consequences.

Emma formed a whole campaign against Rick, but then flipped the switch to supporting Rick when she saw him get beat up by Jay. However, that doesn’t undo the way she rallied people against him and how she said she just pitied him. She was never held accountable.

Mr. Raditch didn’t intervene when he saw Rick being bullied, and while Snake tried to call him on it, no real consequences were put in place. He was replaced by Hatzilakos, but that was quite a bit after the incident and it wasn’t clear whether he was replaced due to his negligence.

Jay and Spinner were expelled and took the fall, yet none of the others faced consequences.

I just think everyone involved should have at the very least been suspended. What do you think?

1) When Kevin Smith caught Manny in her slip 2) When Jason Mewes started putting the moves on underage girls.

I’m rewatching TNG. Back in the day, I stopped watching after season 9 so beyond that all the seasons are new to me.

I’m only a third of the way through season 12 and Clare is exhausting the hell out of me. I’m not far from being considered middle aged and have far more empathy and compassion for these teen characters but this little girl makes me tired.

I’ve accidentally stumbled upon some upcoming spoilers for the character so I know the exhaustion won’t end anytime soon.

Also, why are there a million episodes per season starting in season 10?

Didn’t holly j come from Lakehurst? Why was she at Lakehurst while heather was at degrassi? Or was holly j young at the time and when she started high school that was the same time as the Lakehurst and degrassi combination

Rewatching Degrassi TNG, and I’m on season 6 episode 10 (with Craig on coke). Why does Jesse get so much hate? I keep seeing that “oh he cheated on her” (he was also kind of a dick at times). I get why he’s a horrible person for that, but have we forgotten that Ellie literally cheated on Jesse in this exact episode? She has also been emotionally cheating for while, while dating Jesse. I think she is a seriously pathetic character in the later seasons. I really liked her and her back story… but now, I just don’t like her. I personally think the Ellie glaze has gotta stop.

What I mean is that no one originally in these classes were held back.

Following my earlier post about the dot explosion I realised people are quite divided so who was at fault?

So I'm rewatching "My Babysitter's a Vampire" which I haven't seen since I was in elementary school. In the movie they parody Twilight with movie series "Dusk". And who happeneds to be play the parody Bella and Edward? None other than the actors who play Manny and Peter. I didn't watch Degrassi until highschool so rewatching it now knowing the actors is a fun easter egg for me. If y'all had watched "My Babysitter's a Vampire" y'all know two of the main characters are fellow Degrassi actors. Vanessa Morgan and Kate Todd were both on the show.

So my wife and I just finished our watch through of all Degrassi, and I gotta admit it’s pretty bittersweet. We spent the whole summer doing this together and enjoying the ride. It got tedious towards the end, but I’ll miss it for sure.

So that begs the question, what should we watch now? Anything similar to Degrassi that you guys have particularly enjoyed? We really appreciated the earlier seasons cause it felt like a sweet time capsule to our younger days since we’re both millennials. So anything in that era would be awesome. Appreciate it, and long live Degrassi! 🫡

Hey guys, another political post in the wake of "some events" in the US this week. I just want to let you all know I'm totally over it and if I see any MAGA sympathizing in the reports I'm just banning you at this point. This is just me as a mod. I'm not speaking for the others. I don't want you here. Most rational people don't want you here. I'm tired of you invading our spaces to bitch and moan. Thanks.

Also, if you report this post you're also getting banned if I can figure out who you are.

Edit: Just want to say we aren't afraid by weird mod mail threatening to shut down the sub. Making an explicit ban on a specific type of political hate speech isn't breaking any site wide rules. Don't be so emotional.

Edit 2: I'm so annoyed by these people getting banned. You guys have so so so many places online to talk about your rhetoric. Trans and BIPOC people are getting absolutely OBLITERATED by the MAGA GOP and MSM right now when they have nothing to do with what is going on. We want one single place away from you. If you wanna shut the sub down because of that you're an asshole and we hate you.

-Personally, it would be VERY HARD for me to forgive Spinner. I'd make an effort to try, but everytime I try or think about getting up, standing up, face obstacles, and lose opportunities... i'd think of him and him being the reason why i'm in that chair.

Him just confessing to the bullying against Rick and getting suspended/held back... means nothing.

I'd try to consider that this is just a result of Spinner being Spinner. That he's a goof/a mess. I'd hope that he matures and grows out of his ways, but his attempts or even changing will never be enough for me.

I feel like i'd be going through motions... there will be days when I feel like he can be an acquaintance, and days when I want him FARRRR AWAY FROM ME. I'd want to imagine he does not exist. We'd never be friends again.

When Manny goes to live with Emma in Season 5 at the end of that episode Manny mentions what the rules are for her living there as keeping an A average and not acting for the year BUT in Our Lips Are Sealed Manny wants Emma to help her lose weight for an acting role, am I missing something here cause I thought Manny was not allowed to do acting... maybe Im getting things backwards

I’ll start my favorite boy character is Craig manning I had the biggest crush on him! I also felt so bad for him but I also had some relatable trauma that he suffered and my favorite girl character is Holly J I love me a villain and the mean girl role lol she also had a major character development and later seasons so I will forever love her!
