Perfect music choice with Joan Jett, perfect theme (school photos) which captures the frequent public awkwardness of high school, and every bit manages to give you a capsule description of each character. What more can you ask for? I gotta second Freaks & Geeks.

Visually, it's still a montage -- although a very well-done one.

I cover my eyes when <i>Battlestar</i> tries to ruin the upcoming episode for me. Dear SciFi: Stop spoiling your One Good Show. Also, more movies about pterodactyls. And apologies to <i>Doctor Who</i> fans. Thanks. I agree, Mikey. I cover my eyes when Battlestar tries to ruin the upcoming episode for me. Dear SciFi: Stop spoiling your One Good Show.
