This week a four pack of sci-fi with less than futuristic surroundings. Scientist Sterling Peirce dreamed of a future where mankind no longer feared death, lived in harmony with all existence, and dedicated his life to the miracle elixir he created. Tragically, he died before his vision of a a peaceful future could come to pass. Years later, his son, Jaxxon Peirce, controls and manufactures a version of the elixir he calls Divinity. A small group of people exiled to an island called The Burn depend on Ti-Jeanne. Meanwhile, she struggles against the destiny of her birth, fights for the love of the only available man, and fights against the repressive controlling grasp of Crack. A prequel to Nalo Hopkinson's debut novel, Brown Girl Begins. (Fun fact I forgot to mention in episode- Director Sharon Lewis played rapper Drake's mother on Degrassi TNG.) Neuroscientists being testing of a remarkable breakthrough- connecting two brains directly. Lukas, researcher and generally bored of everything scumbag, is selected to be the first psychonaut- being injected into the head of an anonymous woman in a coma. Immediately, Lukas being making nonsensical stupid decisions and obsessing. Why does no one notice his extreme reactions and wild violent mood swings? They all too busy seeing the Vanishing Waves. In the not-too-distant-future eugenics is the new way of life and everyone is sorted into valid and in-valid categories. Despite discrimination against the unmodified being technically illegal, it overnight became the only standard of worth for all mankind. Natural born Vincent Freeman is predicted to have the most ridiculous number of issues before an early death but he refuses to accept this. Finding a willing co-conspirator, Vincent sets out to follow his dream at Gattaca. All that and Dave sees dead people, Tyler discovers a new fetish, and Kevin screams out from the void.

(TW) Welcome back for a new season of Degrassi: TNG. In this episode, we start season 4 off with a bang (not literally - yet, anyway). This episode contains a trigger warning, which we discuss immediately after the intro. Therefore, we understand if you need to tune out this week and tune back in next week (in which we will include yet another trigger warning). In any case, tune in to hear some trivia for Terri - will she get any right this week? Have you always wondered what happened to Kendra & Towers? You'll find that out in this episode as well.
Tread Perilously's Halloween month crosses the border into Canada for a special internet-only episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation, "The Curse of Degrassi." When the ghost of Rick Murray awakens before the Harvest Dance, he possesses Holly J to get his revenge on Spinner and some of the other kids. Will it bring Mia and Jane closer together after drifting apart? Will it prevent other teens from making out in a supply closet? And will it allow Spinner to realize he's an actor in a non-continuity Halloween special of a Canadian teen drama? Erik and Justin brace themselves for the 2000s nostalgia wave, even as they still have problems with a lot of turn-of-the-century styles. Erik reveals his dislike of fashions from Georgian period England. Justin reveals the episode writer/director's connection to Degrassi Junior High. The pair discuss the premise of nearly all Degrassi shows. Justin also goes on a Friday Night Lights tear thanks to the slightest provocation. Erik also tries to figure out how the special was produced for a website. He also attempts a Nina Dobrev impression. Justin provides a more accurate account of what happened to Rick and a new contender to play Doom enters the arena.
Happy Throwback Thursday! Terri & I are excited to share with you our recap for the season finale of Degrassi TNG's first season! Content warning: drug use. Spoiler warning: it is very difficult to hold them back. As you might have guessed it, someone is going to try some ecstasy, and just like a 2001 DARE lesson, things do not go well for this individual. Join us as we are beyond scared straight from getting X from a shady cousin.
It's Throwback Thursday and so Terri & Chris are back on your airways - not to spread more rumors - but to clear the air about that one time Emma tried to fix a problem that she created. Conversely, Spinner caused a problem that he tried to fix and absolutely suffered the consequences. Make sure you check out our Instagram account so you can figure out your Degrassi TNG character.

It's Throwback Thursday & Chris & Terri are back on your airways to recap the one time Paige was cast opposite Jimmy as Juliet in the school play, and bullied Ashley into having sex prior to being emotionally ready.

Meanwhile at Degrassi, Emma's interest in Sean occupies so much of her time that she doesn't notice someone else who is vying for her affection. Spoilers: We start Degrassi TNG trivia this week! This means we might briefly touch on subjects discussed in later seasons and episodes. We won't go into too many details, but take caution, spoilers ahead.
