In an unexpected incidence of me getting my act together, I've finally finished another Degrassi recap. We are introduced to Horny Boy logic, talk sax with Dr Sally, and learn that checkout guys are master trolls.
I will note that "Dr. Sally" is the amazing Sue Johanson who ran a call-in sex show for years and years in Canada and is like the most righteous, sex-positive, body-positive, female empowerment woman around, or at least she was, it has been a very long time since I heard her show. I think it ran until just a few years ago, though!
I remember Liz's layered tank tops fondly. I think it was the louche, IDGAF way she wore them that might have given Joey the wrong impression. Or the fact Joey was a tool (I still love you, Joey, but it's true!) I always admired Liz, even if she monotoned everything and was a complete raging bitch to Erica about her abortion. But how could you not love her and Spike, the two "punks"? I always wished I was more "punk" growing up, haha, and I was just a few years younger than the Degrassi crowd as the show aired.
Hee, glad you liked it :D I'll definitely do more. They take so long to write that I've given up on trying to stick to any kind of schedule, but I still love doing them and am definitely planning to finish out the series.
That's hilarious, that they got a real sex therapist to play that part!
Ah yeah, I do find Spike and Liz kind of cute (raging abortion-bullying notwithstanding).
Out on the steps, Yick and Arthur are eating bananas and talking about penises, and I refuse to believe this is a coincidence.
When the bell goes, Liz says that they haven’t got much of their project done, so they’d better meet up later and figure out who did win the War of 1812.
“Are you sure you can’t come buy some condoms?”
“There’s a shiny toilet roll pencil, regularly $2.99, now on sale for only a dollar 99. Remember, it isn’t clean unless it’s shiny clean.”
...also everything to do with Liz's mother's job. And yes, the show's not really pro-contraception, is it?
It is very weird about contraception. It's not anti it per se, but it doesn't really make it look like something that will actually improve your life, either.
