Degrassi: The Next Generation, Season 6 Premiere

Degrassi: The Next Generation made its 6th season premiere Friday. Hello teen drama-o-rama! The got new cool opening credits and they finally ditched the goofy lyrics and stuck with just the theme music.

















It's college time for Marco, Paige, Dylan, and Ellie. Settling into dorm life. I'm glad they didn't just drop them from the show then they left for college. The show needs it's fill of bitchness that only Paige can supply. And poor ol' gay Marco. Trying to settle into living with his new boyfriend Dylan.
















Yo Dylan. Haircut ever? That curly mane is out of control! But he's still cute! Ellie has new roommate drama in the dorm and after she writes a scathing newspaper article on dorm life and her crazy roommate, she gets thrown out of the dorm and moves in with Marco and Dylan. Paige prepares to leave town to go to an out of town college.

















Back at Degrassi High, Emma and Peter are still dating. Peter helped Emma get through her anorexia drama from last year. Oh, but look who's back in town going to Degrassi again...
















It's her ex Sean and his muscles. Gotta love the wife beater shirt. Sean wants Emma back, but will Emma give in and cheat on her boyfriend?
















Duh! This is Degrassi. Bring on the drama!
















Pool ol' Peter gets jealous of Sean and tries to emulate him. He dons his own wifebeater and works those toothpick arms! HEH! Nice try Peter. To quote Sean from an old episode, "You're about as edgy and a butterknife." He tries to get Sean to hang with him, but Sean wants no part of it and blows him off.

















Emma tells Peter she wants time apart so she can date someone who can fill a wifebeater properly. Well, that's not the reason she gave, but that's what she was thinking.
















Poor Peter, being shunned by both Sean and Emma. He seeks revenge by using his mother, the Prinicipal's access to plant drugs in Sean's locker and passes on an anonymous tip to his mom, who finds the drugs. Oops. Poor Sean, he'll never escape his bad boy image.
















Sean decides not to seek revenge by beating Peter (or would that be snapping the toothpics). Instead he challenges him to a car race. Sean figures his souped up car would beat Peter.
















But of course, Sean's car goes out of control and mows over a jogger. Since Sean's over 18, he takes off, figuring Peter won't get in as much trouble since he's underage. The cops arrest Peter but now Sean's a wanted man. (I want him at least!)
















Emma finds out about the incident and then finds Sean hiding in her bedroom. She tells him she doesn't want anything to do with him and that he needs to turn himself in to the police. Which he does.

Guess we'll be getting the half college and half high school scenes each episode. It barely showed Spinner and his religious girlfriend Darcy this episode, but it looks like she's going to be ho'ing it up soon. We'll see. Tune in on The N network, Fridays at 8pm EST.

Degrassi-filled Drama!

Season 6 of Degrassi: The Next Generation premieres on September 29th on The-N network. I can't wait! This kid-oriented show is just chock full of drama. If I went to this high school, I think I'd be relocating to avoid the drama! Let's take a look at the main characters and see what's going on with them.









Emma is the good girl who had a bad phase but got over it. Now she's dating cutie Peter, who her best friend Manny hates. Although Peter will have competition for Emma. More of that later. Emma got all bulemic because, ya know, 100 pounds is HEFTY! She replaced Manny with the toilet as her best friend. Sometimes you just feel the urge to purge, Okay?










Manny's the Ho' of the school. She wants to be an actress, but probably will end up looking for a pimp! In a moment of drunkedness Manny asks Peter to take a video of her topless and swinging those puppies. (That reminds me of an incident in my past, well, minus the swinging puppies..) Peter happily films it and proceeds to email the video to everyone at school. heh! Hence, the hatred Manny has for him. She's kind of dating Craig at the moment.









Cutie Peter likes Emma and likes taking creative videos! He had to date Emma on the sly for most of last season to keep Manny and her boobs from finding out. Manny finally found out, but the whole bulemia drama made her get over it. I'll have to remember to play the bulemia card too next time someone's mad at me!









Marco is the token gay character who just graduated and will be settling into dorm life. The end of last season had him dumping the geeky and shy newcomer and sort of making up with his ex, the hott Dylan. I heard a rumour that he may be having a health crisis soon which I SO hope is not the case. They need some new gay stereotypes already.










Jimmy is still dealing with being in a wheelchair after a drama-filled in-school gunshot injury he had a couple seasons ago. He's hopped around and dated various people, but he's supposed to have some relationship drama coming up in the new season.









Ellie used to date Marco (obviously, that didn't go far), then she dated Craig, then hinted at dating Jimmy. That bitch gets around. Who knows who she'll be dating next season.










Craig left town at the end of last season to concentrate on his singing career. He's sorta still dating Manny. He'll make some return appearances next season. Maybe someone will hide his medicine and he'll go all bipolar again. That would be fun!










School diva Paige is also off to college. She got that whole four episode long lesbian phase out of her. What's with women characters on TV having a lesbian phase then move on and it's never mentioned again. I'd like for them to try that with a male character. Experiment with another guy and then move on and forget about it. You never see that happen. I guess for a guy it means GAY, and for a girl it's just a fun experiment?? I dunno...










Spinner is continuing his thinner and cuter phase. Homeboy was huge a couple seasons ago. He's still dealing with his own dramas such as coping with causing his best friend to be shot, dating the uber-religious girl and having to just say no to sex, having bad choices in his friends, and coping with his bad acting skills. (Oops, how'd that last one get in there.) I think his relationship with religious Darcy is on the rocks. I read that she may be showing her naughty side next season. Well, always room for another ho' I suppose.














And HOT guy Sean makes a return this season looking to steal Emma away from Peter. Oh silly Sean. Leave Emma alone. Peter is in need of some new lovin. Let's develop that storyline!! Actually, Sean and Peter are going to have big time drama coming about from their feud.

And the rest...(sorry to steal from Gilligan's Island, but the rest of the cast bores me. ) I'll be looking forward to see what develops come September 29th.

Stalkin Degrassi...

Has anyone else been watching the new television series The Night Stalker? It's really growing on me. I had doubts about it when I heard they were remaking the original, which I loved. I was also a big fan of X-Files, so I wanted to give it a try. I think the stories so far have been good. A little original Night Stalker and X-Files combined. And HELLO, Stuart Townsend is dreamy! He can do some night stalkin on me ANYTIME!


Ok, another confession. Yes, I'm in my 30's and yes, I watch Degrassi: The Next Generation religiously on The N. It's not just for kids ya know! But wait, before you condemn me...lookie...





Sean!

Marco and Dylan!

Spinner and Sean!

Ok, nuff said! Oh, and they teach you lessons too! Now I know not to tar and feather people on TV, or not to show up at a wedding all bipolar, and not to show my naughty bits to a guy with a video camera cause I'm all drunk (Oh, wait...did that that last one)...But the rest I won't! See I'm learnin from it!
