I totally agree.
One of things that bothered me most about the ending of "Bye Bye Nerdy" was that it failed to properly acknowledge that, shallow playground politics aside, there are far worse things you could be considered in life than a nerd. Poor Mac just seemed to get no kudos whatsoever for having the courage to rebel against Jamez Withazee's vision of coolness. It was all very well for Bloo to give that "always ask youself: how is this going to affect me" psuedo-moral at the end, when, at the end of the day, it was Mac who came off far worse for the ordeal.
Okay, rant over.
