I think mine is an R15, whatever, I've missed the last two weeks due to some glitch.

I bet Coach's blood pressure was up in dangerous levels for a few days after he found out Julie is not his little girl anymore. At least Matt isn't using his new found intimacy with Julie to get back at Coach, that he really cares about her.

Riggins grew up a bit after watching Street become a man in his quest to become a provider for his family, so it's just natural that he's become much more supportive of Lyla in her time of distress. Plus, Riggins calmly dressing down Buddy was a nice scene.
The eruption by JD's father was hinted at from his very first appearance, the classic high-strung father of a QB-wunderkind, living vicariously through his son's talent and exploits. He probably was modelled after Todd Marinovich's father in some respects.
It was weird that there was no Julie in this episode.
Can't believe this season is almost over, and would hate to see this show go the way of the doodoo.

Bittersweet, but a much more effective ending to their season. Glad Matt got a chance to shine one last time. One more episode to go, and I'm not ready for this show to go.

Re: Friday Night Lights season 3 (DirecTV 101)
i didn't realize that there was another episode coming. would have been a great ending scene as far as i am concerned. but i am happy to get another hour.....
this episode was a real tear jerker for me. and i don't shed tears. i misted up a couple of times.
what a great show. i wish more television dramas were as effective at being true to life. this last episode was really, really good.
i will be interested to see how this season fares on nbc.
listen with your own ears...
watch with your own eyes...
make your own decision.

Re: Friday Night Lights season 3 (DirecTV 101)
Great finale. I ain't ashamed to admit tearing up towards the end, but it felt right for the characters. If it comes back they have a new way to re-invent the show, but if this is it, it was a wonderful 3 seasons (albeit truncated in season 2 and 3).
Here's a nice wrap-up interview with Jason Katims, exec producer of FNL (do not read until after watching the finale):

They need to do another season just so we can see East Dillon kick the Panthers' ASSES!

I'd be happy with just a 2-hour movie of such of match-up, where JD gets his butt handed to him for the entire game.
