This show continues to blow me away, week after week.

Glad Julie stepped up and came clean. I was about ready for her to be killed off.

Does that radio guy remind anybody else of Street?

Re: Friday Night Lights Season 2

This show needs some propulsion; it needs an storyline with some muscle. It seems like the writers, now that the Landry-Tyra murder storyline is resolved, are putting a bunch of storylines on an equal level:

-- The Taylors trying to work two jobs with an infant and the sister leaving town.
-- Smash's decision about college ball and his relationship with the white girl.
-- Saracen's relationship with the nurse.
-- Riggins trying to draw Lila back into his clutches.
-- Santiago torn between his past and his present with Buddy.

All of these storylines are solid, but none have much muscle. None have that "oomph" that characterized all of the major storylines of last season. It seemed like last year's show always put one storyline on the front burner and the rest on the back burners while still developing them, which worked very well in creating a structure for the show.

Now the show, as well as it is still written and acted, risks falling into chaos because no storyline really stands out. And it almost seems like the writers intended to create that balance, which hurts the show, in my opinion.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Take care,

Agreed. Though I do think the Riggins/Lyla storyline needs to go away. And there's still the whole Landry/Tyra relationship, which has just been left in limbo. The last thing I remember was Landry saying how she doesn't think enough of herself, yada yada, and her crying. Was that the last thing?

I would like to see an actual football related storyline for a change. I can't even remember the last football scene from the show outside of the game against the team with the crazy coach.

Also, there seems to be more and more characters who could disappear and I wouldn't mind one bit (Julie, Lyla, Street). Speaking of disappearing, which people are seniors? I know Saracen, Landry, and Julie aren't, but isn't everyone else?

I think this is the second year in a row that Riggins, Lyla, and Tyra are seniors. I guess they figured no one would notice...??

No, they were all juniors last year. Street was the only senior.

If Julie died in a car accident or something(the character, not the actress) I wouldn't care. In fact I would probably throw a party. She is the most annoying character on the show.

Re: Friday Night Lights Season 2

What yall think will happen next season (assuming it gets renewed) with all the characters graduating?

Re: Friday Night Lights Season 2

Well Saracen will still be there so they'll still have the quarterback and we might see Smash's backup since he's suspended but I don't know who else they'll have.
