  • Marco gets denied the right to donate blood.

    "Moonlight Desires" is an excellent episode. It really shows that even though the LGBT community keeps getting more and more rights, they still struggle with getting equal rights that they deserve. It's really sad that they won't let Marco give blood. Anyways, this episode actually gets even sadder. Dylan is cheating on Marco. This is the episode when Dylan starts acting like a jerk and he treats Marco horribly. I'm so glad that Marco breaks up with Dylan in this episode. I enjoyed the subplot with Spinner and Jay deciding to break into Degrassi. I actually love how Jay stops Spinner from trying to burn down the school because it shows that he's levelheaded. I give this episode a 9/10.moreless

    Marco was introduced to the assumtion that all gay people have AIDS but did not go down with out a fight which I was happy about. We saw another side of Marco, forceful, non understanding, and I liked it. But Marco later realizes that the nurse wasn't completely wrong because he catches Dylan in bed with another guy. Marco then breaks up with Dylan. Adamo did so good. He really looked so upset he was gonna puke. And when things were really intense Marco kisses Craig to get Dylan jelous... kinda a comic relief to settle us down. I think it was a really intense episode for Marco.

    But when Spinner was gonna burn the school down.... That wasn't as entertaining. I mean we wanted to see what was gonna happen with Marco then Spin and Jay keep poping up, at least it wasn't that lame of a storyline so it also kept the show intresting.

    All in all I think this was 1 of the best Degrassi's, not the best but darn close.moreless

  • I love and hate this episode at the same time...

    This episode was mixed for me. I hate but at the same time I felt everything that happened in it happened for a reason. I am mad that Dylan broke Marco's heart like that, but I think that it needed to happen. Because Dylan broke up with Marco it forced Marco to grow up, and mature as a character. He became more independent and able to cope with things by himself which he wouldn't have been able to without Dylan breaking his heart. By doing this Dylan basically shoved him out into the world and made him realize he had to learn how to deal with the up and downs of life.moreless

    This episode, Moonlight Desires, was a sort of sad episode to me. I mean, Marco is head-over-heels for Dylan, and then Dylan drops a bomb shell on Marco. I did lioke the part when Marco tried to make Dylan jealous by kissing Craig! It was a stress reliever.This episode goes down as one of my favorites, though!
