Degrassi: The Next Generation

jenna tries diet pills that have gross side effects.



sav plans to sneak out to the concert with adam and eli. but when there is an encore at the concert will he be able to make it home in time before his parents?



good episode, though it felt like something was missing... Jenna's plot was alright but I really did enjoy Sav's. Sav is probably one of my favorite characters from this season (the way he mocks his mom saying "We trust you" is hilarious i think). Overall a decent episode but it felt to me like something was missing... B-

God, they could have done SO much more with this plot but they just failed miserably. Jenna takes diet pills, has side effects, and gets off them. The side effects weren't serious, all she did was fart. I mean come on Degrassi? Where's the addiction, the breakdowns, the confrontations? I just got to say this was a disappointment of a "weight issue" plot. I expected way more. Like do you recall Emma going in to cardiac arrest? Or Toby making himself throw up in the bathroom? All Jenna did was fart. Ugh, and another thing. Whatever happened to crazy Fiona? She feels lonely, gets a pig, has yet another dreadful friendship moment with Holly J and the episode is done? Sav's plot gave this episode a bit of redemption, at least it was borderline serious, but in the end, he just gets consequences, and learns his lesson. The only benefit from this plot is Bianca revealing her past which is definite character development. Other than that, this episode was mediocre.

Great episode! It wasn't as intense as I was expecting it to be but it was very enjoyable. I love how Sav went to the concert anyways. I love how Sav was actually speeding and got pulled over by the cops. I love getting more background information on Bianca like she's been caught drinking by the cops 3 times. Anyways, it was really funny to hear that the truck was reported stolen. Sav's father being upset was little intense. My favourite scene was Sav finally standing up to his parents about how hard his life is by their expectations. I love the ending with Adam and Eli calling their little night out epic but calling Sav their hero was a little lame. I actually thought the Jenna's diet pill storyline would be a lot more intense. But it was a great issue for Degrassi to deal with and it was hilarious that her side effects were farting. KC is such an nice guy for not caring about Jenna's weight. Fiona's lonely storyline gets kind of boring because she doesn't really do too much about being a loner. Though, it was very entertaining to watch her with the pig. And I also liked how Fiona came to the realization that she can't buy her friends, and she needs to be more honest with her therapist.
