1. Tears are Not Enough- If Their was one episode that I could watch over and over again, it would be this one. IMHO its one of the strongest episodes of Degrassi ever, and the acting was amazing.
2.White Wedding[/b]- Still My favorite episode of Degrassi to this day. It may not be one of the best episoded to most but I sure loved it. Who doesnt like seeing more of the original Degrassi Cast?
3.Voices Carry- Another Amazing acting episode, Even if I want a CrAsh fan, I would still appreciate the amazing acting in this episode.
4.Back In Black/Time Stand Still- These two tie for me, very Emotional episode, thats for sure. One of the best episodes, acting wise, for Danny.
5.True Colors- So it was a very dark episode, but I really loved it. I mostly picked this one ship-wise, but how can you not melt at the ending of that Sean/Emma scene?

and I also love Holiday, Joey and Caitlin at the end mended my heart.(since it broke from the CrAsh break-up)

Yeah, it's mostly a ship thing. But hey, bad episodes happen to good ships; remember, one of my major ships began in a bad Breakfast Club parody.

Anyway, my choices:

5. Karma Chameleon This episode illustrates one of the facts of Degrassi: Romance is like radiation: The more romantic a couple is, the shorter they'll last. And unlike a later Sean triangle, nobody's a dumbass in this one. This episode's also great for being unintentionally funny: This is the first time a girl's been an OUTCAST for hosting a kick-ass party.
4. Gangsta Gangsta I gave this episode the honorary title "Independence Day" for a reason. Also, it introduced us to the Candy Bandits (unless Jay's scene in Pride counts). They're always fun.
3. Against All Odds An episode where I like Marco. Cool. And Cranny's in it! Really cool. Altogether a great episode for all Cranny shippers.
2. Time Stands Still Mostly it's my Evangelion love coming through, but I think it would've been more powerful if Toby killed Rick. As it is, I'll add it to the "not as good as it could've been because of Eman" pile with KC. Still a kick-ass episode, especially since any romantic interpretation of the Eman interaction in this episode pretty much makes both shipper wars obsolete. (You know, since, if saving someone's life is romantic, that would mean Sean and Craig . . . ripped off the other part of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door".) Which brings us to . . .
1. When Doves Cry Make no mistake, Sean/Craig A plot, Paige B plot is going to have good acting. Hugh Dillon is still the best celebrity appearance ever; most were either cheesy or in the case of Kevin Smith stupid AND cheesy. This episode is also notable for foreshadowing Sean and Craig's roles in season 4, and (especially with a rape episode airing less than two months later) marking a dark shift in the writing which will become the show's trademark.

This question is always a fun one to answer...even if I already answered it before...My top five has slightly changed:
1. Jagged Little Pil: The very first time we see a good girl go bad...
2. Gansta Gansta: The episode takes us from the very best make out to the worse break up in a matter of like twenty minutes.
3. Foolin: I almost had a car wreck when I heard JT knocked up Liberty.
4. Whisper to a Scream: This was the very first time I really got to know Ellie, she was very vulnerable and it just was a very good episode.
5. HCYM/SISOSIG: Both of these are neck and neck...I don't know if I like HCYM b/c it's new or not, but I just loved when Emma cheated on Peter w/ Sean...classic! SISOSIG involved a serious love triangle...I didn't think Craig had it in him to cheat, and this was the first of many times we will see Manny "get caught up" or in other words loose her mind when it comes to a guy!

Trust me, if you're a teenager of reasonable "hot" factor, you have it in you to cheat. Doesn't explain Emma cheating, though.

Wait . . . GG was the best makeout? Let me just say it was very Nobokovian.

My Top 5 episodes are:

Gangsta, Gangsta: My overall favorite episode of this series. This was pure comedy. Sean tryin' go all hard. Emma being Emma. Jay/Alex/Towerz. Jay getting his ass whooped by Sean. Toby being Toby. The infamous wet dream. J.T. and Paige - friends. Sean and Emma breaking up. I mean, what more can one ask for? Action packed from beginning to the end. Love it.

Foolin': And no, I'm not being biased because this was a Jiberty centered episode. "Foolin" was just plain good. The storylines. The acting. Everything just fell in place.

Pride: I'm not even a Marco fan. Far, far from it. Anywho, the writers did an excellent job on Marco's coming-out-to-everyone episode. It felt real. Too real. Especially Spinner. I was thisclose to disliking his character after this episode. Such an ass. But there are people out there that reacted the same way he did. Thank goodness he came around.

Tears Are Not Enough: The episodes that made me take notice of Craig. And Jake E.

Eye of the Tiger: I feel that this is a very underrated/underappreciated episode. Spinner vs. Jimmy and friends storyline was just...wow. Deep. Ok, not really deep. I mean the only deep moment was when Spinner finally told the truth to Jimmy and in return Jimmy "disowned" Spinner. But everything else about this storyline was still good.

5. Tears Are Not Enough - plain and simple, the acting was great
4. Pride- Im a big fan of Marco, but thats not even why I picked this episode. I liked the handling of his sexuality and how everything fell into place somehow.
3. Gangsta, gangsta- Seeing Eman go from happy relationship to over in a heartbeat shouldnt satisfy an Eman shipper, but I always felt that the acting and the script fit the characters.
2. Holiday- 1. Cranny! 2. This is the triangle that made all other triangles on the show look recycled. This is the one that takes the cake for me.
1. When Doves Cry- Jake came in and blew me away. It was nice to see a fresh face, but the plot he had to be a part of was so hard to watch because of how real it felt. My favorite episode of Degrassi throughout all the seasons for sure.
