Yay for finally seeing Degrassi movie! And yeah, aside from Holly J/Declan, I have no idea what they were thinking with this movie. I enjoyed it more than Degrassi Goes Hollywood, mostly because other than Jay/Manny, I didn't really care about the characters in that one. I think the weakest storyline here was Jane's, and I know that they wanted to get rid of her character because Paula Barcati isn't returning this season, so they had her go to a university far away, but I wish they hadn't just crammed Emma and Spinner together to get rid of their characters as well. You've seen Sean/Emma, right? I saw the chemistry between Spinner and Emma, but it was so fast, so rushed, so... unrealistic and out of character that even though they had some good scenes (I loved her cheering him up after the Dot broke down and he was moping about Jane, when they played basketball. THAT, I thought, was realistic, and platonic, and fine), it was just too out of the blue for me. And yeah, huge Sean/Emma shipper here, and maybe Daniel Clarke will never come back to the show, but I loved Sean, and they were my first Degrassi OTP, and they're like... fated. They'd lasted so long, and to have that be thrown away (yeah, okay, he's at war in the show, but he'll be back--I always had faith they'd find each other again) for a drunken marriage at a casino was just... ridiculous.
Fiona I didn't like in the movie at all, but that was mostly just set up for her character season 10. I'm interested to see what else they do with her because this is the first character with psychological problems who isn't bipolar, and it's handled completely differently than Craig, so it's interesting. And then this plus the Bobby abuse issues in Season 10... It'll be interesting to see what they do with all this.
Aww, I'm sorry all the characters we love aren't together anymore. Well, Danny graduated, and I don't think Chantay has many storylines this season at all, so I'm going to believe they're still together unless they do something to show me otherwise. You haven't seen the episodes yet, but Alli is... Alli is... "interesting" this season (she's been this way to a lesser degree every season, but it's more pronounced this time) and I'm kind of glad she and Johnny broke up just because even though they were right for each other, he was older, so he sort of... protected her or sheltered her or something to that effect (this will make sense after you see some more season 10 episodes). Basically, she has a lot of growing up to do, and yeah, she's a sophomore now, but something about her is bugging me this season, and this thing with Drew... Ugh. Melinda Shankar (Alli) promised us we'd like him, but right now, he just makes me so annoyed every time he appears. (You'll see what I mean soon.)
If it makes you feel better, Zane/Riley are still toghether. As are Jay/Manny. And I'm not writing off Sav/Anya just yet. Whatever they do, if they do ANYTHING to Holly J/Declan (summaries for a two part episode do not sound good), I will be really really upset. Things are good... for now.
OH! And Jenna/KC will most definitely not last. Jenna's a bit more likable (I still can't forgive her for the Clare stuff, and I doubt they'll ever be friends again because Jenna's just not as honest or mature as Clare, even now, but she's not AS bad, and that means something), but yeah, KC is supposed to eventually break away from her. That I'm looking forward to. Judging from the theme song, I'm guessing he'll have a thing with Bianca. I have no idea who she is yet (well, I know who she is, but we haven't officially met her yet), so I hope that goes well.
I'm really excited about the transgendered storyline.
