A New King in the Castle
Hello there all you FNL fans!
"LET THE CORONATION BEGIN.....THERE'S A NEW KING IN THE CASTLE!"
This week's episode has some wonderful story developments for Jason Street, Matt Saracen, and of course, the Taylors.
Instead of going over plot points in these blogs, I'm going to be sharing what I thought really worked as an insider to the show. These are the things that I've found really compelling about this season and specifically, this episode.
One of my favorite parts of this week's episode is this one line by Buddy Garrity. It's easily one of the best lines of the whole season and it's effortlessly and relentlessly repeated by Tim Riggins, much to my delight. I'm sure you'll enjoy it too.
And I have to say right now - you know Tyra Collette is in real trouble when rodeo man takes her to see a new-born foal. What's that look on her face? Uh-oh. Here comes the cliff, baby ... watch out!
Also, this episode brings about one of the very best mother/daughter scenes that I have ever seen on network television. Aimee Teegarden and Connie Britton both make it look so effortless and true to life.
No soap opera here at all. This is realistic writing, acting and directing at its best.
And hey - just as a side note - does anyone else think Kyle Chandler is channeling Gary Cooper from the grave? Some of his looks and mannerisms ... he's too good.
Finally, the last 30 seconds of this episode is just stunning. Nothing is said at all. Yet it summarizes without a single word spoken and in an incredibly wrenching way exactly "where we're at" at this point in the season. Amazing work.
Last but not least, enjoy the episode and share your thoughts with me here at tvguide.com or at dwmoffett.com. I love to hear what you think about what's happening!
Until next week,
D.W. Moffett
