Whelp, I'm finally all caught up with Friday Night Lights on instant. I was thinking about it, and I think what you might need is some Tim Riggins. I think you should check it out just for Tim Riggins. He's a pretty like a girl, superhot, mess of a drunk, high school football player, just about as TV texas as anyone could be, and I think you need some. Go for it.
Anyway, FNL is alright. The third season gets kind of whacky cos everyone's trying to figure out how to go to college, or art school (that was the quarterback, nice touch) and some people flip houses, or move to nyc to become a sports agent at 19 to live closer to their son and girlfriend in jersey and live a full life, or get fired and get moved to another high school. There's lots of parent-child and parent-parent bonding and someone even calls CPS on a shitty, overbearing dad. Good stuff. What I said about the coach's wife going batshit, well, she becomes the principal of the school, after being the guidance counseler, and her life is just hell hell hell and she's kind of a bitch but she's really close with the slut who has an affair with the nerd because she, the wife principal, believes the slut should be the first girl in slut's family to go to college and so the slut gets really motivated after her rodeo boyfriend turns out to be a gambler and eventually gets into the state school of her dreams and overall it's a great story arc.
But now I'm officially done. The 4th season can go get screwed.

that was a really amazing wrap up of the show. the jersy/girlfriend/sports agent thing lost me, but i think i got it on the second read.
ReplyDeletei might check it out after i move my computer next to my bed again. my back's better, but i feel like lying on the floor sometimes is still good for me.
