Freaks and Geeks season 1, episode 5, "Tests and Breasts":
-Even though she's not on the episode, Ariana is all over this episode with her sass.
-James Franco as Harry Potter? He's totes the "chosen one."
-How does our view of James Franco taint our view of Daniel as a character? Is he playing a version of James Franco at this point in his career? (BTW, yes, we're all Team James Franco, thank you very much.)
-Did Lindsey make a good decision or did the entire situation make us want to shake her?
-We tell our stories about the lies we got caught in. Even worse, they were lies that our parents had to get involved with.
-Not that we've ever done it, but we know the right way to cheat and Lindsay's way isn't the right way.
-James Franco isn't a total d-bag in this episode because he tries to help Sam, even if it wasn't in the best way possible.
-The geeks and their storyline is one of our favorite things in this show. This sex ed plot is perfect for them.
-We discuss the semantics of labeling the characters "freaks" and "geeks."
-We recount our health class and sex ed class experiences (Don't worry, we don't go too much in depth).

Freaks and Geeks season 1, episode 6, "I'm With the Band":
-Ariana's sass is on point.
-Jason Segel isn't an awful drummer, right? Right?
-Jason Segel's Nick is Danielle's mock-musician spirit animal.
-JOSH FROM HEAVYWEIGHTS. Also, this band could go on tour right now and we'd totally be front row.
-Brittany blows our minds while detailing a simple thread/trend that runs through episodes 3-6.
-We don't want Jason Segel to become the Gale to Lindsey's Katniss.
-Showering in the middle of the day in high school: Is this real life?
-Where did the soap, towels, and flip flops come from? They had no notice from when they were told to shower to when they had to shower!
-The sassy John Francis Daley shot that's all over Tumblr finally showed up on our screen and it's GLORIOUS.
-Questions on bullying and its place.
-How old is Harris, anyway?
