The Sour Sixteen Episode Reviews
I
don't write the episode reviews in order. I started out by reviewing half of
the first season, then I wrote through all of season 3 before I did much on
season 2. I also reviewed season 5 before I finished season 4. By the summer
of 2006, I had almost every episode of seasons 1 through 5 reviewed except
for sixteen from the first two seasons. Sixteen not done out of one hundred ain't bad. In fact, it means I spend too much fucking time analyzing
Degrassi episodes. How about I stop this and go make friends?
No, I can't do that. I'm going to get through these final sixteen episodes. I haven't gotten to them before because they aren't as interesting, intense, or memorable as the time Emma got her period or Sean joined the Candy Bandits. More of them are fairly boring. They are the Sour 16. But not liking an episode is no excuse to not review it, or else I would never write about Craig. So let's look back at Degrassi, at the early days, to a more simple time, before the show found its footing and was daring enough to have an abortion or blow job or shooting happen every week.
