Bittersweet

I just finished watching School's out. And it made me a little sad.
Wheels ends up in jail, Caitlin and Joey don't end up together because he was banging Tessa (he should have been patient and waited for Caitlin to be ready), then Tessa goes and has an abortion, not a great start for her own life. Then we have all the members that were once friends, separating and going off to university. Spike seems to be OK.

Snake is irritated with his past best friends, both Joey and Wheels (and I don’t blame him) so he basically leaves without saying goodbye to them. :(
And whatever happened to Lucy? she ended up in the hospital because of Wheels, with a possibility of being blind but we don’t even get to see what happened to her.

I wonder what happened to the other characters like, Melanie, Yick and Michelle?
Ugh. Bittersweet movie.

I started out watching TNG when I was like 12 and haven't watched in a while. So I decided to watch the original series and LOVED IT. I too just finished School's Out. At least they show Lucy in TNG and she has recovered her eyesight though she walks with a cane. Wheels gets out of jail like 10 years later or something. And Joey and Caitlin got back together for a while (and it was awesome) but then she moved away for a job.

I wonder what happened to Melanie too she was one of my favorites!

i've seen it about 5 or 6 times lol, but i avoid watching it cause it makes me SO sad :(

i know, the split up of the zit remedy is horrible :( it's SUCH a sad ending.

it would have been good to see what happened to the other characters, but i guess joey, spike, snake and caitlin (and a couple of others for a few episodes) were the only ones they could get back for NG. so glad it was those 4 though...but would have been awesome if they could have gotten more! or at least explored those who did appear in the first episode, (and a couple of others), we got to see a bit of lucy, but would have been nice to see more of alexa/simon, the twins, liz, was blt in the first episode? i can't remember... unfortunatley we saw TOO much of allison, who wasn't really in it that much. i mean the storyline worked well, but it would have been nice to see more than a couple of shots of the others!
