Did all teenagers listen to The Who back in 1981 tho'?
The anachronisms (this one didn't seem so off) are really annoying.
The anachronisms really don't bother me at all This isn't an anachronism. 1980 was still part of the classic rock era. The number one song in the yearly poll on WNEW-FM, "Where Rock Lives," (but my cabdriver was playing it yesterday, instead of a classic rock station, now it is a classic disco station!) was "Won't Get Fooled Again" year after year back in those days. In fact, the only quibble I've found is when Ken says to Nick "Why would you even know that song?" about Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4." I don't see any good reason why Ken wouldn't know it himself.
I'm into the second half of my marathon viewing- last episode on fourth disc. Wish me luck.

But I don't hate it, I just feel strangely disconnected from it. And I do think it's fairly flawed. But something about it just doesn't ring quite emotionally true.

I'm a bit in the Melissa camp and think I've realized my particular issues. yes, it rings a bit true, but one, i'm just a little too young for it. two, the people i went to high school with were a lot smarter. also, urban. also, richer.

Cue Slacker thread. They may have been "richer" and "urban," but the unique group of geniuses you grew up with exists primarily in your head.

this is interesting too. I think big-city kids may find the show off because they grow up faster, in certain respects.

I don't want to insult you, mel, it's not what I'm trying for, cs if I was I wouldn't hand around this thread and argue with you, or talk with you, but this seems a silly line to take to me. a reaction that when I have it, I immediately distrust it and start to examine why it is and how its come to be tht I'm feeling it. but this may be a mere difference in temperament & feeling.
lindsay's issues are those that the whole of the educational archipelago & the rest of thence-informed society urgent & key needs to move past, or rather address. when lindsay says she might not want to attend the academic summit because 'it's dumb!' she might be articulating in a really adolescent way but what she's articulating is maybe so powerful because of the juvenility of the idea and because it's so obvious, so there: that a summit of the 'greatest young minds' of the country sitting around class learning might just be 'dumb' (clue: it's not dumb but it does help replicate - by being another part of the mechanics of replication - more of the shit tht holds these people (clue: 'freaks') (clue: 'geeks') (tho tht power line doesn't split equally) in sway). i.e., the summit is not the way out of the mire lindsay's already in, it's not a way forward but a way to remain still. the writer's of F&G may only half know this, the writers of 'if....' may be set in horror at it, but (brecht brecht) (as in jaw jaw) desquirrelling (how many ls, how many rs) this or these ideas are now our job, because culture is full of little bombs for the future's past.

But when my mild feeling of "eh" comes slamming up against a chorus of oohs and aahs, it makes my reaction stand out in such stark contrast that it almost begins to feel like hate.

You don't even have a point. Because I was depressed and fucked up in high school over things I couldn't control means I have to sympathize with Lindsay's mild angst over nothing at all? Means you have the right to demean my feelings and bring up my REAL issues (AS IN THEY ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME) because you have a hard-on for a tv show that I don't happen to like?
