Chalmers13, good points all around.

Tough to say, I seem to remember there was a huge grey area around those ages, (19/20 boy-16/17 girl). It just seemed like their was  huge age gap during that time period. I remember a high school senior was o.k. but still kind of sketchy but a high school junior was basically off limits.

Yeah, you make some good points about his perceived coolness via Lindsay and Neil. Barry visiting his old high school as a college sophomore and walking around dissing a teacher and acting like a hot shot makes him look rather lame. Even lame-ass Kowchevski disses him like he's a loser for coming back to high school.…

I think this is one of the few episodes where I prefer the Freaks storyline to the Geeks storyline. In retrospect they really should have used James Franco more often. He starts out like he's going to be a fairly big character in the series and then he's relegated to basically a supporting character for the next 10-12…

He's at the end of his sophomore year because this episode is supposed to take place around April of 1981 and he makes a comment in the high school about being out for two years.

Yeah, they should have ended it with a little epilogue scene of Badger and Pete getting the $90 million  sitting on a beach in the Caribbean arguing about Star Trek.

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out how he was able to get back to his cabin and retrieve his barrel full of money while the cops were all over the little town? The way they make it seem is that he just steals the Volvo with his $100 thousand and just leaves the barrel behind. Then all of a sudden he's in New Mexico…

Marie knew the whole story of Pinkman so she probably already told the DEA all about his criminal activities. She knew exactly what he did and what he was involved in. That's pretty damning testimony especially when it's coming from the wife of a dead DEA agent who was last seen alive while in a car with Jesse Pinkman.

I think the lab in Walt's mind represented his finest work so he was basking in it during his final moment.

How did the police respond so quickly? Wasn't this some sort of remote compound with a super meth lab?

Yeah it seemed like they made more of an effort to show Cliff at work during that first season. After that it just seemed like Cliff was retired. He would do handyman work around the house or some cooking or he would just sit on the couch or he would spend all day looking for a lost paper clip or some other trivial…

Yeah, Lydia had so much OCD that Walt could only leave the one altered Stevia packet and be certain she'd drink it.

Ted Baxter has to be #1 on this list.

I was 15 at the time so I know what you're talking about.

Wow, I had no idea that "Beauty and the Beat" was a number 1 record for 6 weeks? I thought it was a top 10 or top 15 at best. Although they probably would have never admitted it at the time, there must have been loads of teenage boys buying that record. I remember you would get mocked and berated to no end if you were…

I always like the end of "The Front" when Woody Allen tells the commission to go "fuck themselves."

Daniel's 18 in 1980 so that means he was born in 1962. "My Generation" came out in 1965.

I think the episode is supposed to take place around March-April of 1981 because the Reagan Assassination attempt would be referenced in the next episode. The Dallas episode is from March of 1981 so that's spot on.

I'll reply here because Discuss won't let me reply directly.

Libby,
