Friday Night Lights Series Finale

[asta77]

There's the potential of me bombarding you all with posts today. I still have Outcasts to watch and White Collar to post about, but I feel it's best to post about Friday Night Lights while my thoughts are still fresh.

Or maybe it's just nice to have a show I can kick back and enjoy without obsess over. ;)
I understand completely.

What ever happened to JD and his father?
They caused Eric to lose his job. JD lost his wife but we never saw or heard mention of the kid again.

And do I even need to point out all the problems with Epyck?
No, you don't. I don't even get that. Why was she so hungry? I don't even know, Asta. All I can say was that Eric got to be Kingmaker and Tami didn't queen make with Epyck or the red-headed girl the way she did with Tyra. I did think about Epyck when Tam's turn for her career to shine came. Let her be Queenmaker this time, you know? Maybe she can't as a Dean of Admissions but knowing Tami, she'll try. :-)

Where did that turn come from?
It was poorly handled. All I could think was he had nothing of his own, you know? In a way he was like JD's father, living through his son. And it's like JD's father hitting the kid. Not as out of nowhere, but not ever really resolved, either. Was he continually abusive? Who knows.

Grandma Saracen. ::sniff::
I love Grandma Saracen! Her hugs always seemed so genuine like when she saw Landry off. (Landry was so sweet to visit and say good-bye. I wanted more Landry!) I hope she gets to be lucid during Matt and Julie's wedding too. :-)

The Panthers would provide him with a super team and a high probability of winning a third state championship. Where's the challenge in that?
I saw more too. I remember in the beginning of the fourth season him saying he wouldn't give the Boosters his pride. I think they fired him once. If he went back he'd have to deal with them always. No. The Florida job was more of a lure but the Lions needed him. I think if the Lions had remained the Dillon team it would have been interesting to see what Eric would have done.

And it's because Eric gave him a chance and never stopped supporting him.
Eric never gives up on them. I saw it with Jason and Matt. But more with Smash, Vince, and Tim. Eric is always there for them. It was pretty wonderful to watch. :-) He reminds me a little of the dance teacher in Billy Eliot. Because when it's time to let them go, they do. But before they are ready they are right there.

I laughed, I cried, and I saw many moments and resolutions I wanted to see.
Jess wearing her ring! Tyra, home but not for good. Tim and Billy building that house. Oh, I might just get misty again. This is what a finale is supposed to be.
