LAST EDITED ON 03-29-07 AT 08:37 AM (EST)Two more episodes. I'm hopeful that this reads: Two more episodes this season. I am so in love with this show.
And? I love when the show opens with shirtless Taylor Kitsch. But I don't need the Tim/Jackie story. He's 17!!! I know these writers will bring it home for me though. Billy had my favorite line this episode. "I may not have a PhD in stupid like you do..." If little Bo (Beau?) isn't supposed to know, maybe they shouldn't let him know that Tim sleeps over.
Smash and Waverly outside the Alamo Freeze was heart wrenching. When he hugged her from behind, the tears started flowing. I love that they are softening him up.
Waverly and Lyla is unexpected. I liked when Lyla told Smash he never bothered talking to her before she started hanging out with Wavy. Lyla needs a friend so I was glad to see them hook up.
Loved the scene where Lyla confronted Jason. She really hit him in the face with that cup! heh. Minka Kelly gets major props from me. She was perfect. (I feel bad about speaking negatively of her before.)
Odd that no mention was made of Lyla smashing up Buddy's dealership.
What's up with the money in the locker?
Looooooooove Coach Jason!
Jason negotiating that settlement was awesome. And his mother's face just showing that she is beginning to realize that he will be okay. "We're not here to win the lottery..." Awesome.
Matt and Landry are so fun. I love their scenes together.
Coach and Tami in the cow pasture was such a gorgeous scene. When that cow walked over to her and she started giggling? There is no way that was scripted. Brilliance.
Mud Bowl. Tyra attack. Both such intense scenes and they mixed them together. I was on the edge of my seat. I was holding my breath. I was nervous and horrified all at the same time. Very intense. My tears were flowing more than they ever have. Happy tears for the Panthers and concerned tears for Tyra and worried tears for Landry and horrified tears that this show may not be back.
Tyra and Landry after the attempted rape was gorgeous. They could have easily overstated (like any other show would do) that whole attack but they didn't. It was brilliantly edited. There was no build up to it. You had no idea it was coming and it came at you so fast. I was totally expecting Landry to the rescue. I'm so glad they didn't play that angle. They let her keep some dignity by defending herself. Should be easy to identify a guy with a car lighter shaped burn to his eye. Will this harden her more or soften her?
Landry's crush on her is adorable and now they have this connection. He's soon to find out that she is way more than he bargained for (or can handle) and his face at the end emoted that very well.
Panthers are going to State!!!!!!!!!
I hope NBC knows what they have here. This show has changed the way television is made. They all need to pay attention.
ETA: another seemingly unscripted gem of a moment. When Coach was talking to that other coach and he picked something off his shirt and they just continued on "thank you" "you're welcome" and they just kept on going with the scene. Brilliant!
Other Coach was fantastic. The look of respect he gave to Coach Taylor when the game was over and appreciating the reciprocation from CT. gah.
And Grandma Saracen! collecting at the gate with Tami! Been missing me some Grandma. ("water the children")
Jason Katims is a writing and producing GOD. Please don't take another television show from him. Don't take this show from the fans.
