Freaks and Geeks has a weird relationship to dreams. Because it ended after only one season, there's no way of knowing where all of these characters ended up after high school, so all we get are outsized ambitions. Will Neal get to be a comedian? Will Nick get to be a drummer, or at least work in some way in the music industry? It's unlikely. But who knows?
