There aren't really any sounds or images of fucking anywhere in Freaks and Geeks. Worst you get is a small amount of kissing.

I'm a newcomer to the show as well, and I completely agree. The first three episodes are great, but this is where the show really sets itself apart.

Calling Busy a force of nature is a fantastic way to describe her performance - she's so intense and yet so naturalistic, and it's absolutely incredible. Her performance is so full of pain that even if the show had less skillful writing, I think we'd still get the picture. In this episode and "Diary," she's so…

I love the way he encourages Sam to "test the waters" dating-wise, and tells Lindsay she can test the waters after she gets married.

@avclub-328b7a68b2c415d6e3ea078ccd684076:disqus Ken talks at some point about being raised by a nanny, so it's reasonable to assume his family is at least as successful as Lindsay's. Ken is one of the characters that really makes me wish this show had gotten another season. Mostly he makes sarcastic comments on the…

@Nudeviking:disqus I don't think she ever says "I'm in love with Renly," but she makes it pretty clear that she is with the way that she fawns over him, wants to touch him and so forth - her interest in helping him get his armor on and off seems a tad more zealous than you would expect from someone who's just a…

What @avclub-60dd44fc5944d2c8eb5bc7b7b9a3a70d:disqus said - she's crazy in love with Renly and shows no inclination for any women. So no, not a lesbian. If you've read the books, how did you miss that?

If he was also really charismatic and a truly fascinating character, then yes, probably.

Yeah, I disagree with Dan on this one. When it's porn people know it's fake, but it sounds like NASTY might be titillating someone who thinks it's real, or at least might be. Not the same thing as porn at all and most definitely asking for trouble.

@JHayek:disqus I thought it sounded like she really said "Brandt" and not Brand - it's not a huge difference but it's a distinct one. Confusing the two is weird because they have exactly nothing in common, and tracing her train of thought doesn't change how stupid it is. Willy Brandt and Russell Brand? It's like…

Uh, Willy Brandt has been dead for 20 years and really isn't talked about much these days (unless there's another Willy Brandt), so getting confused and calling your talk show guest by that name seems pretty stupid, no matter what the other anchor is named.

In addition to shipping your large amounts of locally produced food to England.

@avclub-884c4beddd8c98bb3b016bdfcc1bcdf8:disqus Holy shit, you suck. It must be nice to be above "actual temptation," but in the real world, people who want to do something and refrain from doing it aren't automatically shitty people who shouldn't be in relationships, on the contrary. Most people actively want to…

@avclub-10002631234370cc43d1ef36d9fd2f5b:disqus FX does have some filler, but the network's business model is to give a large amount of creative control (with a smaller budget) to the makers of scrappy little shows and see what they come up with. The network tends to give shows a bit of time to develop even if ratings…

@avclub-841722355e8015bfff4b8345d8b9722c:disqus , as I said: Good effort, but you're not quite there yet.

Good effort, but you're not quite there yet, dude. Think less Renaissance Fair and more, well, George R. R. Martin.

Michael Keaton really didn't work for me as Dogberry. He was just too aggressively weird for my taste. Nathan Fillion, on the other hand, sounds like inspired casting. I'll see this just for him.

Eh, just because a lot of productions have done it doesn't make it a good idea.

Apparently it's used in Danish and Slovene.

@avclub-453f2cc28c88e7d65746a7694ddd5d0b:disqus I agree. Michelle Fairley could not have done a better job with that scene. Based on her work in the series I was expecting her to absolutely knock it out of the park, but she exceeded my expectations, to put it mildly. The control she has over her facial muscles and…
