<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>"It would've been to difficult story-wise to bring back @alexzasteele [Alex Steele] as Angela, so we're bringing her back anyway: as Tori!"</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>For anyone who is confused - or just didn't become a true Degrassi-ite until more recently - don't worry, I can explain why that's exciting.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>In case you couldn't figure it out, Alex Steele is the younger sister of Cassie Steele (Manny). She was on Degrassi for a few seasons as the minor character of Angela Jeremiah. She was in the first 5 seasons, as Joey's son and Craig's step-brother and had a few cute plots but was never vital towards anything. She was in kindergarten during season 1 and 2, so it was always sort of a joke among some Degrassi fans that one day she would go to Degrassi Community School and become a more important character but when Joey and Craig left the show, she had to leave, too.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Now, though, she'll be coming back to the cast of Degrassi, this time as principle character Tori. Tori has potential to be a character that needs a punch in the face, but it'll be nice to see Alex in a bigger role.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Tori is described as a girl whose parents have never told her no. She's a child model and who was frequently in beauty pageants and essentially believes she's the best at everything.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>I'm gonna be honest, I don't watch as much Degrassi as I should anymore.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>But if I were watching, I would be super excited for this character. I love characters that I constantly want to punch.</i></div>JJ n' Mango :Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14098973325450135229noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249284767817958879.post-4185316127154651732011-05-17T16:53:00.000-04:002011-05-17T16:53:58.196-04:00First Post of 2011<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i>We're only... 5 months into it. At least I haven't let a full half-year go by. I am really sorry again for not posting regularly. I'm not much busier than I was last year, when Mango and I had our post a day kick. I guess the blog has become less of a priority to me as Degrassi became less of a priority. Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE the show, but the quality has gone down. It's difficult to get excited about new episodes, but I'm still super excited by the concept of Degrassi.</i><br />
<i>To any followers who really love our writing style or poignant humor or just like reading our posts and laughing at our stupidity, don't worry, you'll still get your fill of JJ and Mango antics, I think. Just less regularly. Unless season 11 of Degrassi takes it back to a whole new level again.</i><br />
<i>There's probably 2 people who genuinely worshipped the blog, so I'm not too worried about breaking anyone's spirit. (Except all those faithful imaginary readers, but they can read imaginary posts, so it's okay.)</i><br />
<i>So I was thinking to make up for lost time, I can post my reflections on Degrassi through multiple posts revolving around central characters. This post is not about anything in particular. It's just me writing again.</i><br />
<i>So hello.</i><br />
<i>I'll go write a post now...</i><br />
<i>So goodbye.</i></div>JJ n' Mango :Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14098973325450135229noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249284767817958879.post-26381758147788417692010-12-27T13:36:00.001-05:002010-12-27T16:28:16.253-05:00So So So So So So Sorry!<i>Dear readers (all of whom have probably disappeared since we haven't posted in a lifetime) - </i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>I am (as the title indicates) so so so so so so sorry for abandoning you! I didn't mean to, I swear. The worst part is, it's most definitely too late to review all the episodes of last season... it's also too late to do next season promo highlights. The only thing I can talk about and still be relevant is the up coming "Every Degrassi Episode Ever" marathon. And even that I have nothing to say about. Just that episodes will be airing on the weekends only, according to the previews. It seems they'll be doing 2 seasons a week (except season 7 since it was sort of long, I guess) and then the next part of season 10 premieres on the 11th of February.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>In other news, some random girl named Sadie will be appearing this season, along with Alli. I don't think she'll be that important, she just gets to be in the promo because she can... she's played by a girl named Alexandria Benoit who I didn't care enough about to research in depth. From what I've gathered in the 2 minutes of my life I devoted to her, she is the singer in her own band. She's 18 and as far as the internet is concerned, she's single. Not that I care about that at all. But she is pretty. And not famous yet. So go for it, should you ever run into an Alex Benoit when you're buying your groceries in Canada.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aGAURSzeXS4/TRjaUzToC6I/AAAAAAAAAN0/CGnn0j1Bwtw/s1600/284px-Tumblr_l8g49kTf9u1qc1k3q.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><i><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aGAURSzeXS4/TRjaUzToC6I/AAAAAAAAAN0/CGnn0j1Bwtw/s320/284px-Tumblr_l8g49kTf9u1qc1k3q.jpg" width="226" /></i></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>This is a picture of Sadie/Alex.

</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Yeah didn't think so. Why would you give me money after I abandoned you for months? Unless you're one of the imaginary readers who are eternally faithful.

</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Actually, I have nothing to say. Well, I have tons of things to say, but none of my thoughts are all that organized right now.</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><br />

The HALO Awards were started last year by TeenNick as a project by new chairman Nick Cannon. This award is presented by four celebrities every year to four teens that help and lead others.<br />
<br />
And this year, there's a contest (that's for AMERICANS, for once)!<br />
<br />
Except of course TeenNick is conspiring against me and JJ, because you have to be between 16 and 24 to enter.<br />
<br />
Darn.<br />

<br />
<i>"Craig is so over — Sav is the new Degrassi hottie! His relationship with Anya has kept everyone on the edge of their seats. Will they end up together? Will his parents' opinion win out? The true man comes out in Sav when he takes Anya to meet his parents even though they don’t like her because she isn’t Muslim. Any boy willing to stand up for you is a keeper. Plus, he’s in a band and knows how to play the guitar! Being a hot musician always wins a guy bonus points!"</i><br />

What are the Grundy Awards? <br />

And Space Awakening? Is that like a tribute to Jake Epstein, who was in Spring Awakening?<br />
<br />
<i>If anyone remembers, they actually already did Space Awakening... anyone remember that super boring plot about Chantay and Danny got her sick and Jenna was an alien singing to Peter and I don't remember anything else? Yeah, well, it happened, and the show was called Space Awakening.</i><br />

Spencer Van Wyck (Wesley) got a Twitter! I love him! Of course they did not make an epic video like they did with Munro, but Stephen Stohn did tweet this photo:<br />

Also, Stephen Stohn also tweeted that we'll see Eli's parents in upcoming episodes:) I cannot wait to see what they're like and how they influenced Eli's personality.<br />

Just type in "Degrassi Sneak Peek" and it's the only one there! Of course, I'm a total doofus (to shorten = doof) and I forgot my iTunes password, so I've only seen a 30 second preview of the sneak preview, which was basically just the opening credits. So make an iTunes account if you don't have one, because I've heard that it is not something you want to miss. And it's free, so why don't you just get it anyway?</span><br />
<br />
Also, here's a photo and KC and Jenna doing... something. A cultural fair? A school project? Oh my gosh, I just realized that that's Jenna's pregnant lump. I thought she was holding a blue crystal ball or something! That's really obvious that it's fake. Come on, Degrassi.<br />
<br />

And then there's this photo, which I really love because RAYMOND ABLACK LOOKS AMAZING IN IT.<br />

Degrassi: The Boiling Point Finale<i>I have mixed feelings about last night's episode. The Drew-Alli (Dralli? Alew?) plot was phenomenal. The Sav-Holly J (Sally J? Hov?) plot was... no. Just no. I didn't even get it. So Sav writes Holly J a song and instead of doing something sweet that expresses your true feelings, Holly J strips for him and he's just like "Okay, that works." Then Holly J, who is still clothed, gets caught "stripping" which makes me wonder if that officer had just been standing there watching until she realized that she had a job to do. But because I have very little time, I'm only going to elaborate on that major plot, the real boiling point (even though it didn't even happen in the boiler room...).</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>The Eli-Clare plot was not what I was expecting at all. Does anyone remember in Heart Like Mine when KC sat there with the gun and then didn't do anything? (Which, by the way, is sort of out of character now that he's such a... for lack of a better word douche. He would've just shot someone and then said it wasn't his fault, he had no choice and it was really their fault for being in the path of the bullet.) Well, that's exactly how I felt about this episode of Degrassi. And this one was a total joke up until the very last second. I still don't even understand why Eli sunk to the floor like he'd just been stabbed when he hadn't. Because if that was me I probably would've peed myself and then ran to hug my girlfriend and never look back because Fitz is clearly a psychopath. But whatever floats your boat.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>This morning, my friend and I were discussing how last night's episode didn't really get as intense as we were hoping, when my sister walks in and the following conversation happened -</i><br />
<i>My Sister: Did you see that episode last night?</i><br />
<i>Me: Yes, stupid, I see every episode.</i><br />
<i>My Sister: (surprisingly unoffended) Ohmigod, it was -</i><br />
<i>Me: Such a joke, I was hoping someone'd get stabbed!</i><br />
<i>My Sister: Are you kidding me? That was so intense, like EVERYTHING HAPPENED.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Now I'm wondering if I missed something or if everyone was just expecting something so intense they imagined something...because after the episode I got 3 texts telling me how they "nearly died it was so intense."</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>In retrospect, All Falls Down (part 2) was intense by the usual Degrassi standard. But this was the BOILING POINT. It needed to be so much more than the standard to meet my expectations. Stephen Stohn and Stefan Brogren were both ecstatic about how impressive this episode was gonna be. They were working with Degrassi in the age of Rick and the shooting! Of JT's death! Of JT selling drugs! Of Craig doing crack! I'm not saying I want in-your-face intensity 24/7 but when you say it's going to be in-your-face, I'd appreciate it if it actually was.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>So after, and I quote you, Mr. Stephen Stohn, "the best half hour in TV history" I had to think about other Degrassi seasons, making me wonder why would such a reputable show that doesn't hold back ever would not have Eli get stabbed, even if he lived.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>So in an effort to defend Degrassi, I've developed a theory as to how that was a ground-breaking episode. Enjoy my list of possibilities.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>1) Fitz and Eli are both alive. Fitz was just ARRESTED and could quite possibly be blaming Eli for it, even though it's sorta his own fault. This feeling could develop into a need for revenge, which will lead to a longing for revenge. This need could escalate to an even bigger conflict, one from which someone's not escaping alive. Or at least not in one piece.</i><br />
<i>Flaw - If Eli fights the same way he did in the Boiling Point, he loses Clare and Eclare is one of my new favorite couples, neck and neck with Sean and Ellie or Jane and Spinner. It'll either be without her, behind or back, or in some new revolutionary way.</i><br />
<i>2) Now that Simpson is "making some serious changes," Degrassi can do things it's never done before. These changes are bound to come with complications for certain characters that will push them over the edge.</i><br />
<i>3) And with these characters getting pushed over the edge comes, perhaps, new issues I can't even imagine.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>You've got 24 episodes to prove to me that the best half hour in TV history wasn't just hype. It better get real. Because I trust and respect you Degrassi, and can't stop believing that was for a reason.</i>JJ n' Mango :Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14098973325450135229noreply@blogger.com4
