Okay. I don’t know how I forgot Jack’s name. That’s a really easy name to remember. Anyway.
This episode made me really like Miles! At first he was just
the spoiled by who was dating Zoe and making out with her everywhere, and I
didn’t like him. Then he got together with Maya and it seemed like he thought
he could get whatever he wanted, and I didn’t like him. Then they skinny dipped
at his mansion and I was like – wait. Why did Maya just strip down in like zero
seconds at the slightest suggestion? When else have they…? Other than this
confusion, though, I still figured he was a spoiled brat, especially because
his family was like “LOL Miles getting naked with an (underage) girl again
outside in public… tsk tsk… now run along.”
Then the thing with his dad having an affair happened, and
he threw the party out of anger but then regretted it. I was like… okay I’m
starting to feel bad for you about this whole father having an affair and
forcing a babysitter on you thing, but still the party was immature, and,
whatever, you asked for forgiveness for it, so, meh. I’m starting to like you,
but don’t get too comfortable, buddy. One overblown-dysfunctional-family-storyline
isn’t going to cut it for me.
NOW, like I said, I’m shocked that I’m really starting to
like him! I actually was looking forward to this episode because I thought it
would be fun if Zig sort of broke the two of them up and created some drama (I
know, I know, I’m a horrible person). But today, Miles was so sweet and
selfless toward Maya. Do you know how
hard that must be to let your girlfriend essentially live with an ex, and try
to be nice to the guy? To not make any assumptions and just be totally
supportive of your girlfriend? And then to hear the ex say, on top of all of
that, that he still wants to be with her? Well, I don’t know either, because I
have never been in this situation, but I figure it must be hard.
I’m still interested to find out what’s going on with Zig
that turned him into a hardened criminal, and I think some day down the line he
could be a decent boyfriend to Maya or another one of the characters, but right
now, at this moment, I feel bad for Miles. I feel like Maya should just be a
good girlfriend to the one she’s already with, but hey. She’s young and
confused.
In other news, Jenna was pretty entertaining tonight. It
reminded me of when Paige pulled Manny’s prom dress off when Manny was Prom
Queen. Ok, so the only similarity was that a Prom Queen Strip show (nothing
about the reason for it matched up at all), but still, how often does Degrassi
have a Prom Queen that loses some vital garment during the crowning ceremony?
At this rate it’s about twice every ten years (or once every 9 years? I’m bad
at math). The last time it happened was 2005. That might seem like a long time
in between strip shows, but I’m pretty sure one has never happened in the multi-generational
history of many a school. I like how Jenna ended up wearing her nerd shirt
after all. I also thought Connor was amazing as always, although sometimes the
awkwardness of his vocabulary pains me. Is it just me or is it a little over
the top?
And finally, that’s good that Becky came clean about her
non-feelings toward Imogen and strengthened some friendships along the way. I’m
proud to say I was right to recognize that Becky’s behavior last week was a little
off! Booyah. I’m glad this wasn’t really an inconsistency in her character.
Though, I do wonder if it will ever come out that Imogen is actually bisexual,
not straight up gay. Does everyone forget how she used to be an Eli fangirl?
Speaking of Eli, I still sort of wish Clare and Drew had
randomly won Prom King and Queen. Haha. Let that be your thought for the road.
