Season 3 Grades

 

SEASON 3 GALLERY SHOOT: https://degrassitv.wordpress.com/2012/06/05/degrassi-season-3-gallery-shoot/

301/302 – Father Figure 1 & 2: D+
Degrassi slips back by presenting another poor season premiere (Season 2 still the best Season Premiere to date)

–
303 – U Got the Look: B+ (Manny) | B (Craig/Joey)
Manny finally matures in both good and bad ways.  Reliving Joey’s glory days is enjoyable even if Craig doesn’t think so.

–
304 – Pride 1 & 2:  A+
Hands down one of Degrassi’s finest storylines.  Great writing, great acting and a great topic to bring it all together.

–

306 – Gangsta Gangsta:  B
Yet another entry in the journal of Sean, except this one involves a much better storyline.

–
307 – Should I Stay or Should I Go?:  B+
The beginning of Degrassi’s most popular love triangle: Ashley-Craig-Manny.

–
308 – Whisper to a Scream:  B-
A storyline that falls between the cracks of a relationship-heavy Season 3.

–
309 – Against All Odds:  B+
The subplot (Spinner/Marco/Jimmy) about a sleepover is better than Chris’ desire for a milkshake.

–
310 – Never Gonna Give You Up:  B
A slow start is erased after the plot picks up BIG time in the second half.

–
311 – Holiday 1 & 2: A+ (Craig/Manny/Ashley) | D+ (Caitlin/Joey/Sydney)
We get a fantastic look into the mind of characters involved in Degrassi’s most memorable love triangle.  Though a legendary Degrassi ship, Caitlin and Joey’s reunion is forgettable.

313 – This Charming Man:  C+
Emma’s selfishness in this episode is so difficult to watch.

–
314 – Accidents Will Happen 1 & 2:  C-
Degrassi’s most controversial episode is overrated.  The plot needed more than a two-parter, and was never fully fleshed out thanks to The-N’s initial refusal to air anything related to this storyline.

–
316 – Take On Me:  A+ (Sean/Ellie/Jimmy/Hazel/Toby)
A fun episode that breaks from the normal chaos of Degrassi and allows for a small group of characters and their respective relationships to develop.

317 – Don’t Dream It’s Over:  B+
Solid episode, until it becomes more about Spinner/Paige than it does Terri.

–
318 – Rock & Roll High School:  A+
Fun and entertaining.  My favorite episode of Degrassi: TNG.

–
319 – It’s Raining Men:  A-
Marco’s first big storyline since Pride is one of the highlights of his character.

–
320 – I Want Candy:  C-
This episode exposes us to the worst kind of Ashley Kerwin:  the whiny kind.

–
321 – Our House:  A
Sean finally matures, thanks to the stability of his relationship with Ellie.

–
322 – The Power of Love:  C-
An OK main plot.  The subplot is another beautiful example of Sean’s development.
