  • Paige and Alex get high.

    "Death of a Disco Dancer" is an awesome Degrassi episode. I really love the Alex and Paige friendship. They are so different from each other, it's interesting seeing them interact together even more than when they were working together. I love how Paige and Alex get high in this episode. It's so fun to watch. The subplot in this episode is alright. I'm not a fan Jimmy plots anymore because he just turned into a big jerk after he got shot. Anyways, the ending was cute with Jimmy and Derek bonding. I give this episode a 8.5/10.moreless

    paige has her future all planned out, she is going to go to the college called Banting. But, will things go wrong when she gets high? Will she be able to go? Jimmy is an assistant coach in basketball, but newcomer Derek poses trouble because of his snooty attitude, and calling Jimmy a "cripple." Will Jimmy be able to show just how good he is at basketball to teach Derek a lesson?

    Good episode, both plots were really good and I really liked how it all ended, overall a perfect episode, this episode definitely gets an A+ from me. Perfectmoreless

    This episode is a Paige episode, Paige ponders on her future & pushes Alex to but when Paige accidentally offends her Alex stops talking to her. She wont let that bother her since her boyfriend is back. Matt returns with a peace offering, drugs. Right after Matt dumped Paige, so now she is in the dumps & all she wants is Alex so she gives Alex the weed. Alex says she will check out the colleges if Paige got stoned, so they did & went it & embarrassed themselves, and now her future will never be the same since she was laughed at by her dream college. It was nice to see this episode, since Paige is incredibly stupid & she deserves to have a brutal fall. Anyways the subplot was amazing, never underestimate a cripple, which was a good lesson cause Jimmy beat Derek even though he was in a wheelchair. A great episode.moreless

  • One of my personal favorites of Degrassi!

    This episode was really good to me for some reason. I felt like I would someday be in the same situation Paige was in....HAHA! For some reason it made me scared of my own future. IDK why.....hmmmm? Well it is one of my personal favs. I like the way things in Paige's life just started crashing down. And her (Lauren's) acting was really good when she was high and was being interviewed by that woman. And it made me think will Paige be able to survive college and the Harvard of the North? Well FF part 1 and 2 answers that question. The B plot made me feel really sorry for Jimmy and I really wanted to jump in the TV and beat the hell out of Derek when he made fun of Jimmy for being crippled! Derek always commits a bunch of low blows when he insults people. It really made me hate Derek! But I liked both plots...they were great!moreless

    matt is back in town. Him and Paige get in a fight and he leaves and gives Paige pot, which she takes. She is really excited for the college fair coming to Degrassi, but her curiosity takes the best of her. She and Alex smoke the joint just before the fair. At the fair, a family friend interviews Paige and asks her a series of questions about the university she wants to attend, but Paige is very high and blows her chances to attend the university she desires.
    Meanwhile we find out Liberty is president.

    This was an ok episode. it definetly was not my favorite episode. i think it was very poorly written. Paige was given weed out of nowhere. It was random and it was very out of character for her to take it then smoke it.moreless
