In the first two episodes of Freaks and Geeks, the freak and geek plots showed the two groups as being alike in many ways. Between the general why am I here and how do I fit in? energy of the pilot and the theme of external influence in "Beers and Weirs," the focus was on the universal experience of being an outsider and trying to find your place in a world that doesn't seem to have any room for you.
