Degrassi Gits Cut
About a week ago, I read in the Daily News that someone was going to die on Degrassi: The Next Generation. Having a soft spot in my heart for Degrassi, I figured I'd tune in and see who was going to die and how. At the outset my money was on Craig, Degrassi's Dashboard Confessional, but after the first two episodes (and some heavy handed writing), I figured JT was going to get kilt.
I wasn't entirely sure, so I watched the next two episodes.
9:15 PM Last week, midway through the episde, I thought it was going to be Toby that got killed. After getting a broken arm, things seem to be going well for Degrassi's biggest nerd, he was just sucking face with some girl.
Emma's having a party and Manny's about to kiss on some sweater wearing romeo.
9:18 PM Emma's going to have sex with this generation's version of Rick Munro, Sean Cameron.
She just puked though, so I doubt that will happen.
I think Rick would have sex with Caitlin, if she puked. Remember when Rick's dad came home and found Joey drinking the last Pepsi? HOLY FUCKING MELTDOWN.
Now I want a Pepsi.
9:20 PMThis is definitely better than last week's episode with Taking Back Sunday.
Spinner and Jay are kicking two Lakehurst guys out of Emma's party. Let's hope Jay doesn't give them Gonorrhea.
9:21 PM JT's leaving the party and now he's about to walk right into a knife.
9:23 PM JT "just got bossed". One of the guys from Swollen Members (I had no idea he was on Degrassi) just stabbed JT in the back, not figuratively, which is easy to recover from, but literally, which is not.
9:26 PM Liberty has found JT. With his dying breath will he say, "I love you"?
JT might not die, it'd be a shocker if it was someone else who died. I like a good red herring every now and then.
Oh wait...he's dead.
9:27 PM Mannnnnnn, Spike and Snake are going to be pissed!
9:30 PM Is it just me or is Degrassi actually really conservative?
Everyone who ever gets pregnant on the show, either gives birth or has crushing guilt concerning the abortion for the rest of their lives. Linda Schuyler is pro-life, plain and simple.
It's the perfect tool for conservative parents, "See what happened when Emma had a party without parental supervision? A boy got stabbed!"
No wonder my parents let me watch this show and not Married With Children.
9:31 PM At the funeral, Sean wants to kill...AGAIN.
It's like Sean, haven't you killed enough?
You killed Rick Murray, you helenkellered that other kid and now you want to hunt down JT's killer?
When will it end?
9:33 PM I like the old intro with singing better. This one is ok, but it's a little depressing.
I hope Jimmy Brooks shows up in this episode. He's like a cross between Snake, Wheels and Mia.
9:35 PM Ashley Kerwin sort of looks like one of the female Chipmunks.
I didn't think the small screen could get any woofier, but here comes Toby and Liberty.
9:36 PM I wish they would have had a crossover with CSI : Mississauga. They could solve JT's murder. No doubt it'd be the pedophile. The pedophile always does it.
9:37 PM Meanwhile back at the ranch, it sounds like the nightclub from Blades 1 and 2 downstairs right now.
9:40 PM Jesse basically just told Ellie that he got head from some skank at a bar. He spoke in code, but it was pretty clear to astute viewers like me.
9:42 PM Did Snake puke when he found Claude's body after the suicide?
Remember when he found out his brother, Glenn, was gay? He looked like he was going to throw up then too. Another example of Degrassi's conservatism.
Oh! Now Toby and Liberty are necking. I think I may puke.
9:45 PM It looks like Toby's mom totally still buys his clothes. He loves dockers.
9:47 PM Jimmy? Jimmy! Jimmy?
What are you saying? What are you wearing?
Jimmy, you're the worst character ever. He's wearing one of those sweatshirts you get at the Zellers mall with your friend's photo on the front. It's not even a nice sweatshirt either. I'm sure he could get to an American Apparel and get some quality merchandise.
9:49 PM I kind of wish they played a Green Day song while they were showing photos of JT at his memorial. It doesn't feel like anything really matters unless there's a Green Day song. I'd didn't give a shit about the war in Iraq until Green Day sang about it.
9:51 PMToby just told Mia that JT said that he was still in love with Liberty just before he died.
Dear Last Guy I Talk To Before I Die,
If I ever say something like, if I was single I'd bone her (and the her is not my girlfriend) and then I die soon after, please don't tell my girlfriend that's what I said.
Thanks!
9:52 PM Liberty overheard everything and basically just told Toby that it should have been him that died instead.
9:55 PM Everyone's right sad now. I'm sure a lot of people are faking sad so they don't have to go to class. People do that you know?
Conclusion
It was all a little disappointing. In Degrassi School's Out, I did not forsee Tessa fucking Joey nor did I forsee Wheels being guilty of Vehicular Manslaughter. I was sure for the last week, that JT was gonna git kilt.
Ok, so now *fingers crossed* on Law and Order : Criminal Intent they're going to hunt down those Lakehurst kids that knifed JT.
I love when networks have a crossover with all their shows on a given night. It's like when Urkel was on Family Matters and Full House. I bet they'll probably have Degrassi cross over with Medium.
