Your favourite scenes/least favourite

What are your favourite scenes, or some scenes you enjoyed?

I liked;
- when the freaks went to support Lindsay at the mathlete competition
- when Ken is bowled over and realises he has a crush
- when Sam comes back home and his parents bought him the Atari, and he bursts out crying. Such a powerful and sweet scene.

What I didn't like;
- obviously the scene where Bill finds peanut in his sandwich. My heart broke. He is so innocent and sweet and the bully took it a step too far. I read people commenting that the bully apologising was an emotional scene but I was expecting more. Bill could have died! Alan's dad should have smacked him hard for that *beep*
- the cheating episode where Lindsay bursting out laughing when Daniel gave the speech about being left behind. Why was she laughing so much? I didn't get it.

My favorite scene was when the "new girl" was sprinting over to participate in the rocket launch with the geeks and Neal remarks, "I can't believe she's running to get to us!" or words to that effect.

My least favorite scene was the two popular girls hugging/consoling Sam and Neal at the hospital. I can't see that happening.

The reason Lindsay laughed after Daniel gave his Track 3 speech was 1) She had heard him make up the excuse on two previous occasions and she knew what a scam it was coupled with the nerve he had in trotting it out again and 2) out of stress.

That was actually one of my favorite endings. You could see the spit come out of he mouth as she was laughing so loudly.

I also enjoyed the episode where Ken was smitten by Tuba Girl.

What a brilliant series.

PS: I'm curious, you spelled favorite..favourite...are you British/Canadian?
