Previously On Friday Night Lights
Every Friday I’m recapping the previous week’s episode of Friday Night Lights, in a vain attempt to get more viewers. I’ll recap the major story lines, give some predictions, and gripe if necessary. (It’s usually not necessary.)
- This season’s potentially disastrous story line was handled exceptionally well last episode. Instead of the usual cops-searching-the-school all-points-bulletin way that television usually handles a secret killing. Instead, the only cop was Landry’s dad. Him waiting on the sideline during practice was a fantastic “gotcha” from the show. Why did we ever doubt? Instead, the only drama surround Tyra and Landry’s secret has involved Tyra and Landry. And led to the eventual hook-up that we (and Landry, especially Landry) were hoping for.
- The Taylors continue to be in trouble. Mrs. Coach looks like she’s losing it, taking long Texas walks with her baby and crying a lot. A lot. During Coach Taylors trip to an NCAA hearing, it seemed like Coach Taylor has pretty much realized that he needs to head back to Dillon, but is in no way certain about how to do it. (Also, we finally got the definitive answer on Coach Taylor’s position at TMU: he’s the quarterback coach.) Julie kissed the Swede, and broke up with Matt.
- Don’t worry too much about Matt Saracen though. He now has a sassy live-in hottie to take care of Grandma Saracen. (I really hope they let Granny keep that tiara though.) Matt seems to be growing a little bit jealous of the “Smash-show” in Dillon and with that Tennessee Hillbilly Mouth-Breather Coach MacGregor.
- That’s the only Smash-show going on though, since episode two was just as Smash-lite as the first. The only real story line involving him is Saracen’s increasing jealous, and possibly Coach MacGregor’s man crush.
- Lyla Garrity might have said the longest prayer ever. And she’s totally still into Riggins.
- Buddy’s life falling apart reached a head when he got embarrassingly drunk at the Dillon Panthers kickoff party, which was not held at Garrity Motors. I really am disappointed I didn’t get to hear the entirety of Buddy Garrity’s story of his state championship.
- Jason Street has regained some of his muscle use in his right hand. His doctor still insists he’s not going to walk. In his dream, Mrs. Coach said otherwise. I can relate, Connie Britton is constantly in my dreams.
