Noah and Saskia: Difference between revisions

A 13-episode Australian-British co-production, revolving around two teens who meet on the internet, whose friendship changes both their lives. We begin our plot with Saskia, a 14-year-old aspiring musician who is infuriated when her music is stolen online and used as the background music for an online comic, run by a man called Max. Taking on the identity of "Indy", Saskia ventures out into cyberspace to get revenge. What she finds surprises her. Max quickly charms her, and convinces her to help work on the comic, getting equal credit. Such begins the friendship of Indy and Max.

 

Oh, and one last detail: Noah lives in London, and Saskia in Australia.

 

* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]] - Eddie is actually Noah's cousin, but apart from that he pretty much exactly fits the trope.

* [[Attention Whore]] - Eddie, due to being [[Freudian Excuse|shunted around from family member to family member his whole life, not really wanted.]] Hence all the faked illnesses and allergies.

* [[Big Brother Bully]] - Phil to Noah. He gets better later.

* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]] - Clive (boke) and Noah (tsukkomi).

* [[Did Not Do the Research]] - Not too severe, but in the final episode, Saskia is said to be approximately 14 and 4-5 months. However, she has a job. In Australia, one has to be over 14 and ''9'' months to be employed.

* [[Does Not Like Men]] - Deb.

* [[Friendship Moment]] - Renee giving Saskia her birthday music to use for the fiftieth episode of Max's show.

* [[Her Codename Was Mary Sue]] - Max Hammer is very much an idealized version of Noah as he wishes he really was. The villains tend to be caricatures of his family.

* [[I Do Not Like Green Eggs and Ham]] - Saskia makes a big deal about the perils of casual day in episode five, but when she gets there, it's not so bad. Much later, Noah gets more willing to actually do physically activity, and becomes willing to play ''football''.

* [[Insistent Terminology]] - "It's not a crush, it's LOVE!"

* [[Jerk Jock]] - Phil

* [[Just Friends]] - Or, as it is put, "buddies."

** To Ernesto's father, fish.

* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]] - Noah, oh so very much. Worth noting is Episode 4, in which everyone is under the impression Indy/Saskia is more, including Indy/Saskia herself.

* [[Stalking Is Love]] - As espoused by Clive:

'''Clive:''' So? It's not until they ''actually'' call the police that you give up. }}

* [[Ted Baxter]] - Oh, Clive.

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]] - Saskia and Renee.

* [[World of Snark]]
