A reply to my other post inspired this accidentally. If you were to introduce someone who only knew the actors through their movies to the show what episodes would you pick?

I’d say Carded and Discarded Beers and Weirs We’ve Got Spirit The pilot The Little Things Tricks and Treats Smooching and Mooching I’m With the Band

Not just things I post but it seems like no one really reacts to them or says much of anything about them except copying what anyone else says. I think they seem more like the type of characters or smartass teen types you would find anywhere else like for the show trying to be “realistic” compared to other shows at the time, but they seem more so than some of them other characters. Maybe cause the other actors have been in other movies where they play similar characters,so I just see a different versions of the characters from the later movies.

It just seems odd they put that plot in? They never really mention the allergy besides the Halloween episode. It seems like that episode is about to turn into something like Sam and Neal going to a cheer banquet and bill almost getting too close to their teacher.

One of the best scenes to ever exist!

In one episode, Daniel is excited about donkey basketball but Kim is upset about the donkeys. I’ve never heard of this, is it basketball with donkeys? Anyone know about this?

Did Hulu edit the ending of the show?

Especially the scenes where it’s just the geeks and/or someone there’s a lot of times when Neal makes a comment about something, and hardly anyone reacts but Sam will be laughing at it like it’s the funniest thing he’s heard LOL.

This scene is hysterical.

Just wondering, is the rest of the season not that memorable?

“Oh ewwwwww… what am I supposed to do with a porno?”

Lolololol

I just want to find more stuff to watch with the cast members since I love them so much.

The parents are likely deceased by now (Harold and Jean.)

I think Kim voted for Trump. Daniel would have too, if he voted at all.

She’s funny, smart, confident, and just all around awesome. Every time she’s on screen, she steals the show. It’s also wild that as judgmental as one would think she is, it’s not in a rude or aggressive way. She doesn’t shun others, but tries to operate on a moral code without getting influenced by others around her. It’s honestly so adorable.

Finished the show for the first time recently but I don't understand the point of Lindsay Weir as a character. She ghosts her childhood friend Millie, start treating her pretty rudely, and only calls on her when needed, like when she needed to babysit but was high. She quits the Mathletes. That's fine. Sometimes we lose interest in certain competitions. But she doesn't find any new interests or competitive tracks.

Her friends aren't bad people, but they're not reliably good friends. Daniel manipulates her hard as hell during that episode when he gives that fake sob story and asks her to risk herself for him while under accusations of academic dishonesty. I like the friendship that forms between her and Kim, but even so Kim tricked her into being in a really bad spot in front of her crazy and aggressive parents, then brings absolute chaos with Daniel and Nick to Lindsay's home. Nick spends most of the season being high or trying courtship mind games and gets ultra-defensive when called out on his drug addiction. These people constantly get her in trouble with her parents and with the school. Getting caught skipping school usually results in a suspension. Getting caught cheating on a test is grounds for expulsion at a lot of schools. She's lucky Mr. Rosso is the way he is because the reality is he catches them in the criminal acts of truancy, of possessing fake identification, and of attempting to buy alcohol while underage.

The whole car crash was a shitshow that made nobody look good. After her parents extend a little bit of leniency despite not deserving it, she immediately abuses that trust and ditches Millie's sleepover to hang out with the people she swore she wouldn't hang out with anymore. She then further lies to her parents about going to that important event at UMich and she does it so she can be a groupie? This character doesn't learn from their mistakes or grow as a person.

What is the point of this character? What does she learn? What am I supposed to learn?

The actress who played Cindy, Natasha Melnick, left a successful acting career to join a band and grew up pursuing a musical career but has not achieved the same level of success. That honestly doesn’t seem like the future for Cindy.

Lindsey matches the success, and it could be a rebellious decision she makes. Nick seems an obvious choice, but does he really have the stick-to-it-ness to pursue a career. Maybe “Tuba Girl”?

It makes me feel excited like I am a little kid awaiting Christmas. Such a great song choice, such a great vibe.

Such an easy costume! Anyone else dress up as a freak or geek for halloween?

Anyone else watch the Halloween episode today? 🎃

Am I the only one that noticed out of the main characters (Ken) Seth rogen we are never introduced to his parents? Every other main character we see at least one parental figure……

The girl on the far left, second row up. I think that's Becky Ann Baker next to her.

And yes, I know that Linda Cardellini is the best looking one in the picture. 😊
