Previously On Friday Night Lights

by Albert Bianchi on November 9th, 2007

Well, I’ve been thinking. I’m pretty sure that an extended writer’s strike would be a death knell for Friday Night Lights. But who knows, the first season’s ratings should have been a death knell as well.

Like your hat. Jason Street’s hat is pretty awesome. I think we’ve seen the last of it, sadly.

Let’s go have some fun.  Ah yes, the requisite “sports are supposed to be fun montage.” It is a necessary step in any coach’s redemption. Whenever the players are too uptight, it’s time to have a play around practice. In Dillon, the fat kids get to touch the ball and the little guys have to play a little d-line. In D2: The Might Ducks, Coach Gordon Bombay had them play some sort of rodeo round-up on skates.

Not now — or ever again. I don’t want to hear about you and Susan riding in the saddle.  Coach Mac McGill had some advice to help Coach Taylor get some alone time with Mrs. Coach. Coach Taylor didn’t seem appreciative, but he did heed Mac’s advice. He still didn’t get any until he won a football game. That’s how Mrs. Coach works.

A booze cruise? This is your plan? Lyla shows some understandable reservations about Riggins intervention. To be honest, Riggins plan to confront Street about his shark surgery seemed like a great idea at the time. Booze cruises are the best. Of course, they didn’t expect Street to pull himself out of his chair and into the water. And I didn’t expect Street to swim to shore. But now that I’ve seen this, I really expect that anyone and everyone can swim. So Street’s not having the surgery and they’re all going back to Mexico. Presumably, Riggins will start playing football again.

I have tickets to the Decemberists, and I thought maybe… And it’s an OC style name-dropping of a band!  Next stop, an appearance at the Bait Shop! Good thing that

Why is there a cop in my living room?  He’s ending the Landry-on-the-lam storyline? Possibly? Please? No? Damnit.

She do anything yet? Matt Saracen going to his ex-girlfriend’s mother for advice on how to deal with his ex-girlfriend is quite awkward, but it really is his best option. At least he segued into it by asking if the new baby did any tricks. That’s always a good idea. It seems like she gave him some pretty sound advice anyways. Mrs. Coach is always a good person to go to for advice, no matter who you are.

We can either win together, or lose alone. Landry’s halftime speech may have cribbed a bit from Lost, but it led to the first full “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose” of the year, so I don’t have any problem with that.

Bring Lance up. — You mean Landry?  — Lance, bring Lance up. Landry got some pt after his halftime speech. He caused a key fumble on an interception return and drew a pass interference call on the final play, leading to the game winning touchdown. What confused me is that Landry impressed coach when he was playing defense during the cross-over drills and his best play was a forced fumble. He should probably be playing defense. Since the defense has no apparent coach and is filled only with angry Latinos, he’ll probably keep playing tight end though.

Hold up, hold on. I would say that the pass interference flag Landry drew was the latest call I’ve ever seen. But then I remembered I saw the 2003 Fiesta Bowl.
