This show continues to amaze. I read somewhere… There are two types of television viewers, those who love FNL and those who have never watched it. I love NBC’s commercials for it. I think a 2nd season is looking promising. Yes? OHMYGOD this show. Landry breaks my heart. Skipping class to check on Tyra. Talking to Matt about it. He had me in tears minutes into the show (and I don't think they stopped for more than a minute at a time after that). His expression when he told Tami. The jealousy over seeing her with Tim. I didn’t like him bagging on Tim, but it was likely just a little fit of jealousy. The parallels between Tim/Landry and Brian/Jordan are unmistakably there. Gives further explanation why I love Tim Riggins/Taylor Kitsch so much.
Tyra. The scene in the police station. Taking pictures of her bruises. Her face when she saw Tami at her door and Landry sitting in the car. Her speech to Tim.
Oh Tim, you sweet beautiful boy. “How about Saracen sleeping with the coach’s daughter?” silence. Perfect. He was forced to be mature one minute and then went back to fun inappropriate Big Timmy Riggins. Jackie did the right thing. I’m glad she didn’t let it go any further. Bo. Heh. “since we’re obviously buds…” cute. Tim is making sure this kid has a male figure to look up to and Jackie inevitably makes that difficult for him to do. He can’t turn his back on Bo like has been done to him all too often. It’s forcing him to be more mature. The look on his face when he was interacting with Bo after Jackie told him they had to stop what they were doing made my tear ducts itchy. Then? I loved that he went to Tyra. She’s the first person he thinks of when he needs a friend. LOVE that. I’m wondering if, when he finds out what happened to her, he’ll go looking for the guy.
Lyla. Wow. I love this character. Didn’t see that coming. The look on her face when she walked up to Suzie’s truck and throwing the ring. I loved when she told Jason now she knows where they stand and not to come back. And when the Garritys were giving the divorce talk she said she would come back when Buddy left. Good for her.
Hello? She had a breakdown and trashed the dealership. And nobody even notices? Minka, I am so sorry I doubted you. You are as amazing and brilliant as the rest of them.
Scott Porter amazes me. The Eric/Jason/Matt scene in the coach’s office was brilliant. (won’t get into the flaws with Jason being AQBC)
Tami. She’s perfect. Smart, strong, gorgeous. The conversation in the living room had me in awe. I read a TV Guide interview with Kyle and Connie and it was just like Eric and Tami. (have to find the link) I loved at the end he asks if they’re done fighting and she’s all “yeah but I’m not moving to Austin.”
Julie. Heart-breaking. Her sweet little pouty face. When she went to Matt’s and the hug. Wow. But why couldn’t she sit with him at the banquet?
Buddy stealing Smash’s Saracen email joke. Smash’s reaction to Buddy stealing his joke. Buddy telling Eric “you got a good one here” and TOTALLY meaning it. Love/hate Buddy.
Smash. Wow. Telling the other girl no and the cake for Waverly. And his roast on Tim was hilarious.
Kept waiting to see VooDoo since they had Aldis Hodge in the guest starring credits. That’s who they’re playing for State, so assumedly we’ll see him next week.
Season finale? They better get this show out on DVD REAL soon.
