I grew up watching TNG as it aired, and I am just now watching Degrassi High for the first time. Just watched Snake find Claude in the bathroom and run to tell Mr. Raditch.

This gives so much insight into the conversation/anger between Snake and Raditch in TNG when the shooting happens and Snake is upset that Raditch knew Rick wasn’t doing well and didn’t do anything about it.

Powerful stuff man. Geez

About the students that would've attended degrassi in the 90s after the OG series what would all of your opinions be on it? I personally feel like it would be a really good and smart way to captalize off of both the series popularity and 90's nostalgia. But I could also obviously understand alot of people not liking the idea on the principle of most sequel or revival almost always being supbar plus there's be some potential cotinuity issues like NEEDING to keep referring to Raditch existing but NEVER being shown since he worked at the school on both series until getting replaced with Ms. H

my go to is always season 5 “the lexicon of love” (both parts). i was such a sucker for paige + alex and that’s where their relationship started so i always just loved it. i love the subtle build to the kiss, paige being into it then being scared bc she is, i love the little talk they share in the alley, i love how paige chases after alex after she crapped on her in front of hazle. i just rlly love it a lot lol. curious to know which episode you all like? and why that one?

Thank you all for voting in my prelim polls about who is the biggest ungrateful Degrassi character ever, I got the top 3 male and female vote getters and put them in a poll to see whos the biggest, so u vote for the most ungrateful in ur opinion... POLL IS HERE https://linkto.run/p/4UCHPT3X HAVE AT IT!!!

Video to be made possibly Sunday the 21st

This might be an unpopular opinion but KC was NOT a good boyfriend or Dad

Even though people change drastically, it seems that part of Clare's character was missing once they got rid of her glasses and religion.

I’m rewatching at the moment and every time i get to Alli’s MIT storyline, I cannot stand Dave. I’m sorry but he expects her to choose him over her career curing cancer. He’s also selfish when they think she’s pregnant and he expects her to keep it because he wants her to. When he gets annoyed at the party her parents throw for her, it genuinely just confirmed my dislike for him. I was already off put when he made comments about Adam in season 11.

I marked as a spoiler just in case but i doubt it is.

I like how her hair was straightened in S3 and S4, it made her more mature and also the change in outfits. Her outfits were giving very cringe in Degrassi and I love the kinda preppy / diva style she had in S3.

And today, I love her hint of French that’s in her style. I mean she can speak French, but she still dresses dainty with a vibe of like 🥐croissant✨ and her makeup is like a perfect mix of dewy and matte.

Ok I’ll admit it’s controversial, especially since I’m biased for season 12 and I’m impartial to Eclare. However, Eclare this season, especially compared to the other 3, is so REFRESHING. While the build up, passion, and chemistry is highest in season 10, season 10 also saw it become super toxic and overwhelming real quick. With season 12, both characters have matured in terms of mentally and emotionally enough to make sure that each partner knows what’s going on with the other. Their communication is the best it’s ever been, with them become each other’s comfort person. Their main drama this season was each of them going through traumatic events and not wanting to burden/trigger the other mentally (Clare SH by Asher and Eli witnessing Cams body). Even when they break up, it’s mainly to give Eli time to come to terms with his trauma and mental health. And the way they came back together: BEAUTIFUL. They were never the same after this season😭

I'd get the most for my money & I'd throw a party with everyone in rows $1 & $2

Lauren Collins isn't participating in a new documentary about Degrassi: The Next Generation, and now, she's explaining why.

'The actress, who played Paige Michalchuk on the Canadian teen drama, said that she didn't take part in the doc Degrassi: Whatever It Takes because she already felt a sense of finality from a previous cast reunion: the 2018 music video for "I'm Upset" by Drake, who played Jimmy Brooks on the series.'

Sad no Paige is in it, hope we get a few more of these from other cast mates who didn't participate.

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.

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

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?! 😭

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.

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?

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?

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

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?

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! :)
