Degrassi "Watch Out Now" Episode Discussion

learned:

* NO NO NO NO MORE BREAK MORE BREAK

* Degrassi, i just don't know. do i ultimately love the show or do i resent it? is it as good as it used to be? is that a fair question? nothing is ever as good as it used to be. should it have ended after the first generation? they said the same thing about Skins and look what happened. Skins should have ended after the second generation. is it unfair to constantly compare this show to Skins? yes it is, that sort of Skins quality comes around once in a generation, or the second one. and besides, Degrassi came first, back in the '80s when the show was still good.

* Degrassi, i just dunno. would it have been better just to end it cleanly, really end it, i mean like REALLY end it once and for all with none of this Netflix eternal perpetuity nonsense? i won't be following the show over to Netflix so this is my end...but it feels weird cos it's not really the end. i'll always have the niggling feeling in the pit of my stomach that i'm missing some mindblowing storyline going on over at Next Class that i'll never know about. it's Arrested Development all over again.

* Imogen: holy shit, where are we? when are we? remember when the school almost burned down? that was wild..........fire.
Becky: i'm still on this show? oh, okay. am i still the Christian? can i be the scientist? i can't get that image of the planet Pluto's broken heart outta my head.

* Becky: i love rules. without rules, you can't break the rules and rules are meant to be broken. it's sexier when it's a religious person like me breaking the rules. y'know, Aerosmith, Alicia Silverstone, Catholic schoolgirl uniform...
Jack: my character went nowhere, huh? anyway, um, here's some advice if you want to get Drew to do something for you: remember: Drew is a straight male. so, yeah, approach him buck naked and watch all your dreams come true.

* Drew: i've fucked every girl at this school and i never learn. every time a hot babe crosses my path i get this weird sensation in my body. what's wrong with me?
Drake: you're a dude, dude.

* new principal: they were gonna name me Tool. anyway, no PDA, no nothing, 1984, back when this show was good.
students: what happened to Simpson?
new principal: Principal Simpson isn't another victim of the Black Hole, Principal Simpson IS the Black Hole...

* Chewy: i'm the funny one. without jokes, i'm nothing.
Frankie: why'd you kiss Lola?
Chewy: dat ass
Frankie: now that's funny.
Chewy disappears in a puff of smoke.

* Chewy (up on stage on the mic): hey, so why did the chicken cross the road? never mind, hey, have you heard the one about the guy who was insulting a child online?

* hot Lamaze instructor: my beautiful pregnant goddesses, get out your mermaid crystals. no no no, you, gothboy, Eli is it? that's crack rock, get that outta here.

* Eli: so what, i can't look at you anymore? you're afraid you'll fall back in love with my handsome face?
Clare: exactly.
they kiss.
Clare: we're now having twins.
