I thought this episode was the best by far since Spinner got cancer. I'm going on memory from seeing it last week so I could be wrong, but I enjoyed it. I agree with anyone who says Emma is the most contradictory character on television but I can't help but love her. I feel in love with that crazy face in season 1, those huge braces in season 2 and that evil glare in season 4. However, since then its been pretty down hill for Emma. This episode was saved because it had a brief resurrection of the evil Emma from season 4 (I think we should give her another name like Jessica for Nikki on "Heroes". Emma totally has split personalities. I wanna call evil Emma Vicky (perhaps in homage to The Fairly Odd Parents) but I'm open to suggestions). It also had Emma protesting which is always fun.
The B plot yet again focused on Mia and Holly J. The more I see this season of Mia the more I like her and the more I see of Sav the more I am convinced that he is a completly useless addition to the cast. More times than not I could do without Holly J. as well. However, I liked seeing Mia's temptress side and am comforted by the fact that we wont have anymore episodes this season with Mia chasing Sav.
The Top 10:
1. Sav and Anya are in like with eachother. Horrible minds think alike.
2. Mia is good at badmitton! This marks, by my count, the fourth time that a Degrassi girl has been good at a sport other than cheerleading. Kendra (who is too distraught over Spinner's cancer and her adopted father's death to go to school anymore) was good at floor hockey, Manny was good at gynastics and Alex was good at lacross. Whereas almost every boy on Degrassi is supposidly good at basketball. Just saying....
3. Liberty doesn't have the attitude of a Purple Dragon girl. Shocker!
4. Darcy has totally given up on Spirit Squad. Where was she?
5. Emma flashed the school! This was a shocking moment! Even though the N (in thier quest to ruin every Degrassi episode through the promos) showed the clip several times beforehand I still didn't really expect Emma to do it. I thought there would be some catch. They saved it for the very end. It was exciting!
6. Ms. H. thinks Emma flashing the whole school was brave. Well, now we know where Peter learned to appreciate naked women.
7. Emma's "not the girl Sean left behind". Really? She's not a selfish and shallow manipulator? Nope, pretty sure she still is. Shes not predictable? Already knew that. Her character makes no sense. One week shes a self-righteous activist, the next week shes a corporate spokesmodel.
8. Infiltrating is not an effective method of protest. Purple Dragons and the school are still doing buisness. I don't think Emma has actually ever had a sucessful protest. To my knowledge, the caf still has genetically modified food and people are still using toilet seats. Well, she means well.
9. Damien might like Emma. I'm still not convinced. I think Damien's headed for a romantic alliance with someone else who disliked him last year: Liberty. I hope Emma and Liberty throw down for Damien's love. Emma is scrappy in a fight (she usually uses lockers as a battering ramp; remember her rumble with Alex and when she pushed Peter?) but Liberty is a computer and might malfunction and electrocute Emma. To Degrassi's credit, they did have a male catfight over a girl ( when Craig and Spinner jousted for Manny) so I wouldn't feel bad about how sexist it would be if Liberty and Emma did infact fight over someone as lame as Damien.
10. Mia and Holly J. need men, not boys. Hmm, good luck ladies. Joey's dead, Mr. O got fired and Snake is taken. Toby is a senoir. I think thats the best we got for ya.
Sorry this was late! Did you guys like it as much as I did? Were you guys as thrilled as I was when Emma got all evil and started kissing Damien, wearing high heels and promoting energy drinks like it was her job? Something about an evil blonde former activist appeals to me. Let me know and I'll see you next week!
