HSMTMTS 1x10 Review

Act 2 was a great finale that capped off a great season though somewhat marred by Disney censorship. Let’s dig in!

Finally Ricky and Nini have found their way back to each other. Sweet callback to Ricky lighting Nini up with his phone as Nini does the same. Breaking Free was great though I had to keep pausing during the EJ to Ricky transition because it was so cringey. Ricky and Nini really do have the best chemistry on the show and it shines through this ep. Joshua did a great job improvising Ricky’’s confession to Nini as did Olivia reacting to it. Tim mentioned in an interview that originally Ricky was supposed to tell Nini that he thinks he kinda you knows in a callback to the premiere but on set he realized that it was too cheesy and decided to let Joshua come up with a confession based on memories of his and Olivia’s real life friendship. That was certainly the steamiest kiss we’ve yet seen on Disney + but it was well earned

It speaks well of Tim that he recognized that his own writing wasn’t good enough and that he trusted his actors to take charge. It also goes to show how much of a difference it makes having the showrunner actually on set in Salt Lake, whether that was Tim or Disney’s decision. It’s a sharp contrast with Andi Mack where Terri the showrunner was based in LA and only rarely visited set while Michelle Manning was the producer in charge in Salt Lake, a split which I think hurt the show in some ways

That rainbow heart sign from the Mathew-Smith family was lovely. It’s great to see Seb’s family of Utah farmers being so supportive. This also confirms that Seb is out to his family, and since Miss Jenn seemed to greet Carlos’ father near the beginning of the ep it’s likely that Carlos is also out to his family

A historic first for Disney with a Seblos cheek kiss. Though of course while it’s progress it still isn’t equality. It’s not so much the Rini kisses that really drives home the inequality since they’re the main couple and were always going to kiss in the finale but rather it’s the Redlyn kiss. It’s not like Redlyn has gotten any real development nor did their story line really need a kiss so early. They got to kiss simply because they’re straight. That being said, it does once more show that the limits are looser on Disney +, we never would have gotten even a Tyrus cheek kiss on Disney Channel

Unfortunately Disney for the second ep this season released promotional photos of Seblos scenes that were cut from the episode itself. It’s not queerbaiting in the traditional sense but it is baiting the audience as they know that a lot of people are very invested in Seblos and seeing that rep on screen and Disney is willing to use that to draw in viewers while cutting the actual on screen rep down. What’s worse is that if it wasn’t for Disney itself letting us know that these scenes existed we’d never know that Seblos scenes were being cut. And of course, it’s a waste of time and money for the show to film these scenes only for them to be cut. A big complaint with Seblos this season has been their lack of development but that seems to be less on the writers who are in fact giving them more scenes then on Disney which is cutting them down to the bare minimum

It’s all shameless triangulation on Disney’s part, trying to be progressive but not so progressive as to alienate conservatives. It’s not like any homophobes are still watching the show after Seblos got together. So far it seems like the Disney censorship on HSMTMTS is coming mainly in post production like it was in Andi Mack S2 with the cut bash mitzvah scene and the edited look back which is awful but is still better than the much heavier censorship we saw in Andi Mack S3 that was coming in pre-production when things like Cyrus being able to talk about his feelings for TJ and vice versa were just never being written. Hopefully Seb being a main character in S2 means that the censorship lessens at least a bit or at the very least stays in the post production stage

In an interview done early on in the season, Tim talked about sometimes taking giant leaps and some times taking small steps in terms of the representation on the show and know we have a much better sense of what that means in practice. There was the giant leap of Seblos getting together at Homecoming and the small step of them kissing on the cheek. Afaik Tim hasn’t addressed the Seblos cheek kiss which is probably for the best and if he does I hope he has the good grace to not lie to the audience about his ability to have gotten an actual Seblos kiss approved. I do think we’ll eventually see a Seblos kiss though I think the earliest that could happen would be the S2 finale

Very telling that Ashlyn assumes EJ is behind Ricky’s exit and not a good look on EJ’s part to not tell Miss Jenn at least that Ricky left. . Good for him though for playing to lose and giving up the role of Troy to help Nini and Ricky. Confirmation that he paid for Gina’s ticket and we got our first Hell Yeah on the show. I don’t like it but it does seem like that scene was set up for Portwell in S2; at the very least it seems like Gina may have started to feel something for EJ

Pour one out for those poor audience members having to sit through that trainwreck of a second act. You know you’re really in trouble when you have to send your choreographer out there as an understudy

I loved Big Red’s little xylophone during the intermission

Nice to see Nini and Gina end on a friendly, supportive note. Hopefully that continues next season

Kudos to Olivia and Matt for really selling the high school theatre actors barely keeping it together on stage aspect of the performance. Nini and EJ have so little chemistry that it’s almost hard to remember that they were dating for several months

Mr Darbus’ office set looked great. Nice touch to have Miss Jenn mouthing the lyrics to Wondering off stage

Lynne really sucks. Can’t say I’d miss her if we don’t see her in S2

Will be interesting to see how Miss Jenn and Mr. Mazzara save their jobs

Realistically I don’t think Nini’s performance was strong enough to earn a spot at YAC; someone like Gina or Seb would have been a much more credible choice imo. Nice touch to have the Dean leave through one door and Ricky the other

Now that the season is done it’s hard to see any traces of whatever more mature direction former showrunner Oliver Goldstick wanted to go in. The whole season seems very coherent and consistent in terms of tone. We did learn from Tim and Olivia that her song All I Want was a re-shoot so maybe it was a replacement for a song or scene that was pushing the envelope more than Tim and Disney wanted

One thing that may or may not be connected is that EJ’s panic attacks from the original character breakdown made no appearance this season and who knows if we’ll ever seen EJ having panic attacks or suffering from anxiety. Disney seemingly had no trouble showing Jonah’s panic attacks on Andi Mack which is doubtless where HSMTMTS took the idea from but it’s also true that Jonah’s anxiety story line was abandoned halfway through S3 and though it’s likely just the result of bad writing it can’t be ruled out that Disney got cold feet over focusing on mental health in both Andi Mack and HSMTMTS

Looking Ahead:

One benefit of this review being so late is that we now know the spring muscial! Beauty and the Beast which seems to suggest that all future musicals will be Disney owned properties

Tim also confirmed that they will still be incorporating songs from HSM 2 and 3 into the show which will certainly help pad out the 16 extra songs they’ll be doing in S2. Having 12 eps will be a big help to the show; 10 eps just wasn’t enough to properly deal with all the characters and plots

HSMTMTS really turned out to be a delight and while I think S2 will be as well there are definitely potential issues ahead that will need to be deftly dealt with. Nini either going away to YAC and then coming back to SLC or just not going to YAC is probably going to be wrapped up in an unsatisfying manner. In all honesty this kind of plot would have worked much better if it had been saved for Nini’s senior year

Whatever plan Ashlyn is cooking up to keep Gina in SLC is also probably going to be poorly done as there’s no reason Gina’s mother would willingly leave her daughter in another state

EJ is either leaving the show after he graduates or they’re going to have to contrive some way to keep him around East High in future seasons

Seb now being a main will be interesting, if nothing else to see what Disney’s limits are. Tim has hinted at their being drama for Seblos in S2 and I hope that it serves to develop them and is not just a means to keep them apart so there can be two gay mains but no gay relationship. As an aside Tim revealed that Joe originally auditioned for EJ which is wild; it’s funny that both Joshua Rush and Joe Serafini auditioned for EJ when neither of them had any realistic chance of being cast

I have no strong feelings on the cast list for Beauty and the Beast though I do think it’s likely that either Kourtney or Gina end up playing Belle as I think having a black girl play Belle is just the type of subversion that would appeal to Tim. Miss Jenn did say that she wanted Kourtney to come speak to her over break and while Gina is a bigger character I’m not sure if Sofia’s singing is quite good enough to carry the lead in the musical while I think Dara’s definitely is

I’d say it’s very likely EJ ends up either as the beast or as Gaston since he’s in what should be his last semester. And if Gina also gets a big role it would make it easier to play with Portwell in S2. If EJ is the beast I could see Seb getting Gaston in another subversion of expectations. Regardless I think with Seb now being a main and with Joe having one of the strongest voices in the cast that he’ll play an important role

Until next season Wildcats

Arthur A. Benjamin Health Professions High School

Mission Statement: The mission of the Frazier School District is to empower students to take ownership of their learning. It is this quality that students acquire in American schools and that allows them to achieve their full potential. There are so many talented kids who went straight to the NBA after high school thinking they were going to cash in. They did so in the short run but lost millions in the long run because they just were not ready for the NBA and being a grown up. Of course there are always exceptions like Kobe, LeBron, masinska skola and KG who have built Hall of Fame caliber careers, but I think you're point that even they could have used some time in college was spot on. Especially in Kobe Bryant's case, considering he began his career hot-dogging around the league and shooting airballs to get his team eliminated from the playoffs. In the days after surviving the horrific event, students participated in a protest demanding gun control and more than 100 of them are planning on visiting the state capital in Tallahassee to speak with state lawmakers.

Play this game with friends and other people you invite. Over a century later in 1779, Thomas Jefferson proposed the opening of new secondary schools to provide segregated secondary schools with different tracks in his words for "the laboring(sick) and the learned." The new academies would be practical in nature but allow a few of the working class to advance by "raking a few geniuses from the rubbish." At this time, the colonies were Elektrotehnicar racunara predmeti planning to break away from Lord North government in Britain, and working up a constitution which would define the white colonists' freedoms and rights. Whereas there is no magic formula for winning elections-ultimately the voters decision picks the victor- students today could benefit from applying the same sort of get-out-the-vote (also known as GOTV) practices real world politicians and their spokespeople use on the campaign trail.

All are encouraged to complete this process before visiting schools for Back to School events to allow most paperwork to be completed. Your probably landed on the hub of one of the most introverted people at hubpages, which explains my attitude to high school reunions. Sharpay: (to Miss Darbus, giddy at the thought of performing in front of so many) We'll be happy to do it again for our fellow students, Miss Darbus. It was no big deal and the whole affair was benign to the degree that the student got a little education on adult life and we all managed to grow up normal and healthy as anybody else. Middle school students in Ohio have created a history of the world online to share with students everywhere. Yeah this web page article about AP classes is way off. Videos and photos posted by students on social media painted a gruesome picture of the shooting, showing blood spilled on the floor of classrooms and bullet holes in the screens of laptops.

Sometimes you just reach the point that a high school reunion is no longer relevant. I told the students I knew they had a lot to do that period, I knew it had already been a long day, and that I thought a little fresh air might help them focus. From an academic standpoint, I was in the top 20 in a class of over 300 people; however, I felt like I was often picked on and made fun of, and I never had a girlfriend in high vozac motornog vozila specijalista school (or even a single date, for that matter). The TEC is an institution created to serve the southern Synods of Ethiopean Mekane Yesus Church and the wider community by providing training to Missionaries, Pastors, Evangelists, and High school and Preparatory students to make the trainees effective spiritual leaders, missionaries, pastors and very effective in their academic Education to join Higher Educations.

These students need guidance, but I do not believe that high school students need to be told what they should be interested in studying and learning. I think that some students have begun to do this but I am not sure about students who do not feel comfortable sharing their ideas with the class and are a little more quiet. I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm going to say that a good 3-4 hours of a students day isn't totally necessary. The story centers on the life of Tsubane Haruna, an ordinary female high Elektrotehnicar energetike predmeti school student who then starts a revolution in her school. In this week-long experience, students will investigate how the world is impacted by the innovation, disruption, and creation of new technologies across smartphones, tablets, laptops, and PCs. The following courses are common in most Italian schools: Italian Language and Literature, Latin, foreign languages (English, French, German), history, geography, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, physical education, and religion.

I was unable to attend due to a work commitment in Thailand where I was teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL.) My greetings were sent to my classmates, and they responded by sending me some pretty cool pictures and summaries of their life experiences after high school. If your heart is really set on entering a career in the healthcare industry, I really encourage you to try and take tehnicar drumskog saobracaja predmeti science subject AP courses over language and history. Written verification is necessary in order for students to be recognized in the program and ceremony. We offer more than 700 programs at over 400 high schools. Choose from courses in more than 30 academic areas as well as specialized programs in engineering, business, and journalism all while experiencing life as an NYU student.

Anxiety, as a mental illness, is truly on the rise and helping students cope with their anxious moments can be stressful for school counselors. Switching classes can be difficult after the master schedule is built, so take this scheduling time seriously. Jon Lovitz as Richard Clark, a naive Caucasian teacher whose main goal is to help underachieving students at Marion Barry High School succeed. Students Ekonomski tehnicar should be aware of the particular adjustments for AP courses at their high school. Occasionally, teachers must cope with unmotivated or disrespectful students. The people who are in my life are there for a reason, they are true friends. These worksheets are great for Sunday school, vacation Bible school, homeschooling, religious education, scripture in schools, Bible note-booking, and more.

I didn't go to my first high school reunion, but I've gone to all of them since and I surprised myself by really having a good time. I say challenge yourself, take AP classes in areas that you have a true interest, not to boost your transcript. A teenage high school student foundation of a general education has been built and it is time to build on the areas that you are most interested in as an individual. Students in the research center are doing really exciting research, and they are learning valuable skills of using the state of the art equipment in the lab. In this exciting one-week residential camp, students engage in hands-on lab experiences in ceramic processing and tape casting, plus glass melting and press forming. Students come in and see this and know what to expect for the day.
