One of the things I love about "Freaks and Geeks" is the attention to
detail by the writers and the nice, subtle touches that result. For
example:
Bill, who thinks of the idea of getting a keg of non-alcoholic beer for
Lindsay's keg party, is the only person to get drunk at the party.
Lindsay's feelings for Neal's older brother, Barry, seem to parallel
Neal's feelings for her. The difference is that, unlike Neal, she's
finally gotten old enough -- and, let's face it, attractive enough --
to be noticed.
When Sam's moment of truth as a pitcher comes, the batter is Cindy's
boyfriend, Todd Schellinger. (Incidentally, I was impressed by Martin
Starr's acting in this scene. He was able to do Bill's geek gait even
while running after Todd's blooper.)
There must be lots that I've missed. Please share.
