friday night lights


friday night lights So the East Dillon Lions lose a game, hubris is afflicting the team and tension reigns. Is the loss of humility the worst sin to be committed on “Friday Night Lights?” Vince’s big head causes so much friction with Luke that the two can barely speak to each other, and when Coach tries some disciplinary fence mending, asking Vince to help Luke with some plays, Vince doesn’t even bother to show up. I loved that Jess, who is also beyond fed up with Vince’s self-infatuation, steps in for the job of football tutor. \\


Will she become East Dillon’s first female football coach? Her database is enough to make any girlfriend of a football lover step in and start watching game tape. Vince’s punishment for skipping out on the tutorial with Luke is getting benched — Coach wants to teach him a lesson. And this raises the question of whether Coach is really cut out for S.E.C. football, doesn’t it? He likes to beat the opposition but his allegiances are to character-building above all. How would he fare in the dirty-recruiting, winner-take-all world of college football? As we were left to ponder whether Coach Taylor would make the series-finale move to Shane State, we were also left to speculate about Julie possibly holing up in Chicago with Matt for good. How did you think those scenes of the two of them together played out? Matt is pretty casually take-it-or-leave it with Julie at first, but we soon learn that he is still hung up on her. They spend two days and nights together before they even kiss, presumably because it would mean too much. When Julie tells Matt about her affair with a married man, Matt offers nothing in return: There’s been no one for him in Chicago? Is this plausible? Or are we to assume that there’s been no one who really mattered? In any case, it does seem as though Julie is going to go find herself a Windy City college; Chicago energizes her and she feels as though it is where she belongs
