George's dad was great too, though, and it is very sad he won't get any more guest spots.<BR/><BR/>The whole Meredith/real dad thing even though it is TINY in comparison to the George/dad thing has had this really deep effect on me in comparison.christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401963598900389708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403949.post-1169317096417993142007-01-20T10:18:00.000-08:002007-01-20T10:18:00.000-08:00Oh it's over.

Whenever Claire Danes and Jared Leto talk about the show in interviews, I get the feeling that they have nostalgia for it but are v. glad to be adults now and have moved on. Like, the painful awkwardness that was the show was also their lives. <BR/><BR/>Freaks and Geeks ended on a perfect little ellipse too. I think My So-Called Life and Freaks and Geeks are definitely two of the best shows ever. When I watch them, they make me want to relive high school. Which is weird. Because of all of the awkwardness and pain of that time. But there's something so fresh about it too. Life was bigger back then...when every little crisis is the end of the world. As awful as it was, it was thrilling too.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442902343936742742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403949.post-1169316518844721102007-01-20T10:08:00.000-08:002007-01-20T10:08:00.000-08:00Wow, look what I started.

And now that you mentioned it, I do remember that last scene of the last episode and the delicious ache of loving how beautifully written it was and how sad you feel that it's all over. I kind of hope it stays over, though. No reunion show, please. I like that the show stays just the way it is with the ellipsis at the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403949.post-1169275122598938082007-01-19T22:38:00.000-08:002007-01-19T22:38:00.000-08:00I love how this went from being the Grey's Anatomy...I love how this went from being the Grey's Anatomy Addicts Support Group thread...<BR/><BR/>...to the My So-Called Life Addicts Support Group thread. <BR/><BR/>i LOVE thinking of Angela as a successful writer, that's perfect.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442902343936742742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403949.post-1169274797046114982007-01-19T22:33:00.000-08:002007-01-19T22:33:00.000-08:00Urp: yes, yes, YES. every time you watch that show...Urp: <BR/><BR/>yes, yes, YES. every time you watch that show, you hope. you ache. <BR/><BR/>the awkwardness of it all. remember that scene in the car where they kiss for the first time? how she's trying to talk to him and then he keeps kissing her and each time she pulls away, like, "Stop! What are you doing?!? I'm tring to talk to you!" And then, finally, when she's thinking that "this would be the perfect time for him to kiss me," he leans in to her...and opens the car door for her to leave. So painful, so true. That's why the show was so great. It was filled with moments like that. <BR/><BR/>so "wonderfully delicious," i could not agree more.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442902343936742742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403949.post-1169273442679200492007-01-19T22:10:00.000-08:002007-01-19T22:10:00.000-08:00No, the last image of the show was of Brian standi...No, the last image of the show was of Brian standing in the dark street, watching Jordan's car drive off with Angela in it, his hopes of ever being with her dying as the car disappears down the street. Brian was tutoring Jordan and Jordan wanted to win Angela back and they have a Cyrano thing--Brian writes a letter to Angela, finally saying everything he's ever felt about her, and then signs the letter "Jordan" and Angela is so excited and won over and she has never gotten a letter like this and she tells Jordan that she'll take him back but she wants him to talk like he did in the letter, but of course Jordan can't and he just keeps trying to kiss her, and then in the last scene Angela is waiting for Jordan to pick her up and Brian is there because he always loiters in the street (waiting for Angela to appear) (not that he was a stalker, he just didn't have anything else to do) (but love Angela) (and study) and then Angela figures out that Brian wrote the letter ("you wrote it didn't you? DIDN'T YOU, brian???") and he doesn't admit it BUT SHE KNOWS...and still...she can't. And then Jordan shows up and she gets in the car with him...<BR/><BR/>...and the show was over. And I imagine that Angela and Brian grew distant as he got more and more involved in AP classes and getting ready for college and then he went off to some big brainiac school like Harvard and met another brainiac girl and they had lots of brainiac children and occasionally Brian would bump into Angela when he went back home for the holidays, and maybe they'd even sit in the tree and talk, or stand in the middle of the street...<BR/><BR/>...and Angela? I imagine Angela dated Jordan for a while, maybe the rest of the year, but then he probably cheated on her, and then, finally (hopefully) she and Rayanne started talking again and they maybe became close but it wasn't ever quite like it was, but still it was nice--and then Angela went off to school and...who knows...but i feel like she did good things. she was a good kid, after all.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442902343936742742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403949.post-1169272577172133642007-01-19T21:56:00.000-08:002007-01-19T21:56:00.000-08:00OMG I can still see Rayanne's face in that Our Tow...OMG I can still see Rayanne's face in that Our Town episode. So great. And the image of Angela on her bike is burned in my brain---isn't that the last image of the show ever, Angela on her bike (not that episode you mentioned, but another)? The best part ever, though, as you've mentioned before: every scene featuring Clair Danes' quivering lip when she's about to cry. Like I said, don't get me started. I only vaguely remember the episodes, but there are images and moments that have stuck with me; that show was on when my dad was dying of cancer so it was a strange sort of catharsis to ache along with Angela during the whole thing with my dad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403949.post-1169271758745079842007-01-19T21:42:00.000-08:002007-01-19T21:42:00.000-08:00DOUG, yes, the actor who plays Mer's dad (Jeff Per...DOUG, yes, the actor who plays Mer's dad (Jeff Perry) played the teacher on MSCL. <BR/><BR/>I lived for that show. So friggin good. Perfect actually. Almost, at least. <BR/><BR/>My three favorite episodes have got to be: <BR/><BR/>(1) the one where Angela finds out about the Jordan/Rayanne hookup, that ends with the girls doing the scene from Our Town. Whenever I see that scene, I want the drama teacher to shout "that's what I'm looking for! THAT IS GREAT ACTING!" because it's the most amazingly acted scene and it's just ridiculous (in a good way) that these two teenagers would act the crap out of Our Town like that, but it's because they aren't acting--it's all about what happened between jordan and rayanne. <BR/><BR/>(2) the world happiness dance episode, the one that brian krakow narrated<BR/><BR/>(3) the one where Jordan is trying to pressure Angela to do it--you know the ep, it ends with her on her bike riding over that hill crest and she takes her hands off of the steering wheel and says the thing about "sometimes just being yourself is enough." <BR/><BR/>and i can't stop at just 3 favorite episodes: <BR/><BR/>(4) the one where rayanne OD's. <BR/><BR/>I feel like a terrible MSCL fan because i used to know the titles of every episode, but i don't anymore.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442902343936742742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403949.post-1169271346463800572007-01-19T21:35:00.000-08:002007-01-19T21:35:00.000-08:00Isn't the guy who plays Merideth's dad Mr Katims f...Isn't the guy who plays Merideth's dad Mr Katims from My So-Called Life?
