"Freaks and Geeks" was directed by John Showalter, and there are some great visuals in this episode.  Come and take a look!


1.

This was a really cool location.  So romantic for making out, too.  Not really, but I'm guessing there probably isn't much to do in that part of Kansas.  No offense to Kansas.

2.

This show just made me wonder if Sam and Dean get a little nervous going into police departments still or if they are just so used to it they don't care.  I mean, I have never done anything wrong my entire life, and I get nervous when I see a cop.

3.

I like the framing on this shot, through the hallway.  And Sam's "serious FBI head lean-in" is great.

4.

Baby just looks kind of pretty in this shot.  Also, Dean should never wear a white dress shirt again.  That gray ensemble was fantastic.

5.

I like this shot a lot, but I'm calling foul on her using her real name on the college I.D.  Really?  You'd think Victor would have taught them better than that.

6.

Here's another really well-framed shot through a hallway.

7.

Oh, hey there, brooding Dean in the shadows.  Don't mind if I do.

8.

It's too bad that power line is running through the shot, but that can't be helped.  This is a really cool house.  And it comes with its own smoke machine!

9.

I don't know why, but this shot of Sam and Dean barely peeking over the hedge delights me.  It looks like they're getting swallowed by shrubbery.  Nih!

10.

Sam looks SO hilarious here.  "Okay, Sam, play it cool.  Play it cool.  Blend in.  How would a suburbanite act?"

11.

Baaaaaaaaby, look how pretty you look under the streaming lights and the trees and the fog.

12.

Dean in the mirror is a great shot.  Really neat.  And very effective.

13.

This is in here because in all these years the show has been on the air, I never noticed until this shot that the side mirrors on baby have a Chevy logo on the back of them.

14.

This is the opposite of the Dean in shadows shot.  It's Sam in the light.  Which, considering their histories is kind of a neat juxtoposition.  Also, as a random aside, I accidentally typed "Deran" instead of "Dean" and it made me realize how awful it would have been if his name was Deran.  Deran is a fine name, that's not what I mean, but it just sounds wrong.

15.

Baby in ths woods!  The Lodge set was very moody and atmospheric.  Glad that wasn't shot at night, though, because it would have been terrifying.

16.

Seriously, look at this place!  So creepy.

17.

Sam is 1000% done with this shit.

18.

Don't mind the giant bloodstain on the wall, miss vampire.  We'll get you healed up in no time.  What?  No, there aren't any other rooms in the house we can use instead of giant bloodstain room.  Why do you ask?

And there we have it!  This was a good-looking episode, wasn't it?  What did you think of the visuals?
