Friday Night Lights
Thoughts, in no particular chronological order:
Buddy Garrity can still burn in hell.
Tyra's mom is in a hell of her own devising. I wonder how long it'll be before she wakes up to it?
Julie rocks my socks for calling her mom. I wonder, though - where's Landry's parents?
Landry at the party. BLESS.
Tami - damn. I love her so much. She is seriously who I want to be when I grow up. Not only does she own her own words and actions, but she owns them without having to go through the defensive phase, and she owns them, makes it as right as she can, and then drops it. I wish I could do half of that.
Not much of Coach, but he still rocks.
Riggins & Beau were ADORABLE together.
Lyla is a spoiled, smug little princess. That said, I totally sympathize with what she's going through. And with what Street is going through. They're both staring down a lot of changes.
The last shot of Waverly in the corner of her kitchen, and then Smash coming to sit down beside her... Guh. It just killed me. Because damn, have I been there. Both sides, but more often as the one in the corner, and they all just nailed it, they got that visceral feeling.
Poor Smash. All he knows is strong women - his mom and his sisters and Waverly when she first came back - he has no idea how to deal with a broken woman. I have faith that he'll come through. Perhaps not gracefully, but he's a good man. He'll come through.
I'm trying very hard not to look hard at the meta of FNL not taking much of a break and ending the season in April. There was a feeling of moving toward closure tonight, but there are still a lot of open ends. So. We'll see. I'll take any and all Friday Night Lights I can get.
