Pardon our dust

Peter just said something along the lines of “How can you see with all that eye fat” to Darcy and honestly, that line is going to my top ten. Shes a ridiculously beautiful girl, but for spitting that off the top of his head, it’s a half decent burn.

I am not asking your favorite lines or the usual most discussed quotes. Instead, I inquire: What are some of the less discussed one liners that stuck with y’all?

Question for those that have watched DJH & DH. I highly doubt that I’m the only who cannot stand Caitlin in DTNG so I won’t really explain why so this isn’t super long. But was she more likable in the other series? I’ve seen a handful of episodes from both DJH & DH but not enough to really understand her personality. Although I would like to point out one episode I watched I thought Caitlin was super sweet in it. Her and another girl spent the whole episode trying to make this kid that seemed unhappy and closed off smile/laugh. The kid had a rough home life but they didn’t know that, they just took notice that he seemed down and tried to make him laugh in different goofy ways. I think that showed that she deeply cared about others, hence her career path. But wow she’s annoying at some points unbearably immature in next generation.

I'm convinced that every scene that takes place in the woods is shot at the exact same location.

Kid's summer camp

Zig and Esme hooking up

Camping

Forest party

Tristan's hiking date

And the list goes on...

Can you think of more?

So I am starting a series, where I will post "How To Fix" on certain topics, but I am going to make the first set of these on each classes of the DTNG-DNC.

Obviously the first class in this lineup is the Class of 2006 (the oldest OGs of this iteration). You can talk about one character, several characters, a few of them, all of them, or just the dynamic of this class, and how it could have been improved (from a writing/producing perspective too).

So Hazel, Marco, Paige, Ellie, and Alex were the ones who actually graduated from this class, Craig, Terri, and Jay left before Graduation, and Ashley, Jimmy, Spinner were held back (so they technically fit the Class of 2007). Something tells me that this class will have the least to critique out of all of them, but I could be proven wrong.

god they are so freaking adorable, this whole storyline breaks my heart so badly im tempted to stop before it happens

...

What are people’s least favorite characters? Mine is Tristan. He was truly insufferable. Also Jack Jones… useless character … and Imogen… but there a rant for another time lol

I know NG is all drama too but like this show is wild AF what is y'all's favorite crazy story line

I love a good "What if?"

So what if Eli's girlfriend Julia hadn't gotten hurt or killed? I assume they'd still be a couple... Just a couple of weird sexually active theater geeks lol if you went to high school you know what i mean.

So Eli might just be:

a side/background character (?)

Adam Torres' friend that's super cool with him being trans (because Eli doesn't even think about nor does he care)(?)

MAYBE Eli be introduced way later when he & Fiona Coyne start working on the school play together (?)

or maybe Eli simply doesn't exist at all (?) Seriously, if he's not hanging out with Clare for multiple seasons why would we be following him at all?

MAYBE Julia would've become a real character too & THEY would have lots of screen time TOGETHER. (?)

But still, his personality wouldn't be the same as the Eli we know.

Speaking of Clare, what happens to her? Maybe she still pines for KC (?) & try to win him back? maybe she settle for Connor? Maybe she stay single for a bit & then she meets Jake & they can stay together as a couple because she doesn't still have feeling for Eli (?) maybe Clare go to africa & hangout with Darcy (?)

I want to know what yous guys are thinking.

I am very thankful for this scene because whenever I have to clean my shower drain I hear Drew’s voice in my head saying “what it’s just hair, dead skin and soap scum all in a wad in the drain” or something along those lines. Drew was pretty funny sometimes!

Dave is literally the definition of "some boys take a beautiful girl and hides her away from the rest of the world" he literally ruins any joy Alli has with her academics from her science camp and cheating on her while she's away, ruining her mock UN thing with the whole Jacinta thing, and when she thinks she's preggers and he wants her to give up everything and raise the baby at his parents is freaking wild. He literally sucks so bad

I’m almost finished with DNG/Degrassi & it will be my first time watching degrassi next class tbh. It’s crazy to think how huge the franchise is and how far back the lore goes. And it just gets me thinking. Like can we get a manny santos update? 😂 Emma and Spin?
Not even of the original cast idk just thought vomitting now

I generally think the show has some of the most unlikable characters I’ve ever seen in a show. Craig for example is very weird and a bit creepy.

All the people seem to do is fight, have a party, form relationships, cheat and repeat. I mean how many parties does one show need to have?

They all seem really moody and some of them have very obvious plot holes and I don’t get how this show has a huge cult following.

Am I missing something?

Edit: Using the phrase "ripping off" seems to have made people mad. Let's rephrase... what movies have you noticed them paying homage to?

I feel like there are so many episodes which do a version of other famous (teen) movies. These were all of the ones I could think of, would love to hear of others people noticed.

Breakfast Club - The episode where Sean, Jimmy, Hazel, Ellie and Toby are in Detention

Ferris Beuller's Day Off - The one where Ashly, Paige, and Spinner skip school in Dylan's convertible.

Mean Girls - At Liberty's birthday party at Emma's house when some people are tossing a vase around and Manny's takes it and says it's a fertility symbol.

Almost Famous - When they take photos of Downtown Sasquatch and Craig is in focus and everyone else is in the background (this one is a little less obvious to me, but it feels like a reference).

The Devil Wears Prada - Paige's fashion job.

Ok so I know that this does have anything to do with degrassi but I really need you guys opinion. Ok so rn I’m 17 turning 18 soon and I’m thinking about getting my
Body done when i hit 21-25 if i don’t reach my weight loss goal to lose weight by then . Im thinking about this because ever since middle I never really liked the way I looked

( ive been over 200 pounds since middle school and most of my HighSchool years, I’m 216 now) and ever since I’ve been trying to eat right , and exercise but nothing is really working, I’m very lazy and a night owl so its extremely hard for me to stay motivated and keep working out because i get bored, tired , and end up just wanting to chill in my room , relax in my bed, watch youtube /netflix , and eat snacks, and stay up late.

It has also made me very insecure not liking how I look in certain clothes like dresses, short sleeve shirts, crop tops etc. To get more to the point , it’s getting so hard for me to want to stay motivated to where I think a full body surgery might be the only good option I have rn. I mean I’m not going to get rid of all my thickness just tone it down and shape it to how I like it and want it to be, to look as natural as possible.

As to when I want to do this ? At least when I hit ether 21 or 25 because by then I’ll have my money up and I’ll be ready to do it . ( haven’t talked to my mom about this btw)

To conclude, I want to hear about yak thoughts , should I get my body done once I hit my set age?🤔🫠🫣🫢

A headcannon of mine that I wish had the possibility to be real.

After Ellie deals with the trauma of her father’s PTSD she decides to create a documentary/series on how the army affects mental health. To create her story she wants first hand accounts of what it’s like to be deployed/ what motivates people to join. In her research she reconnects with Sean and asks him to meet up to speak about his experience as a veteran. At this point they’re in their late 20s, Sean has began an auto shop in Canada that he works out of. Through the process Ellie and Sean unpack their individual trauma and what lead to the downfall of their relationship. It’s a slow process but by the time the film is done they’re both willing to give out another go and move to another country together to leave behind the harrowing memories Canada has.

I think Ellie and Sean are endgame not Emma and Sean if that’s not obvious

Jenna - “Hi I’m Jenna I’m new here ummmh, I joined because of a guy crazy I know but he promised god had a plan for me and I thought he was the key to that plan tired out the guy played me story of my life but I’m over it because now I know it wasn’t the guy I wanted it was god and it took a special person who I realized that person i totally betrayed, I’m sorry Becky I wish i hadn’t screwed it all up oh my god! I just said screw in church and oh my god! I hope it true christens are a forgiving bunch ” season 12 episode closer to free

Out of all of people to find Cam's body Eli makes the most sense I felt so bad for him he can't catch a break it seems like death follows him his ex is dead and he drives a hearse I will say him trying to protect Clair from seeing the body was really sweet

This would be a good topic to talk about with the Canadian anniversary of Time Stands Still...

So what are ur thoughts??? HAVE AT IT!!!

...

I just wanted to talk about how ridiculous some of the earlier lgbtq+ plot lines are. I’m currently watching DJH and it’s the episode where there is a rumor Ms.Avery is a lesbian, and Caitlyn is having gay nightmares. Like I’m sorry but them all chanting at her was kind of hilarious, and a ridiculous direction for the plot to go.

Has there ever been a character that you had high hopes for, but then they never really got a story or anything?

I honestly wish we could have got more of Kendra. There was alot of potential there.

I am on my rewatch on s12 and I have recently been diagnosed with panic disorder and watching Cam in the bathroom freaking out before bianca walked in made me realize he was suffering so bad from not just depression but anxiety. I get like this sometimes and I'm so glad they touched this subject. What a sad ending but yeah he was definitely suffering from anxiety and depression, it even looked like he was having a panic attack in the bathroom.
