Friday Night Lights Season 5: Episode 13: “Always” “You changed my life, Coach.” It was Christmas in Dillon, Texas, and for the loyal viewers who spent 5 years weekly proclaiming T.G.I.F.N.L., we got all that we could ask for: a series finale that almost perfectly suited our favorite characters, their journeys and the show’s two thematic plots, football and family. For the last time, let’s take a look at how the Friday Night Lights...
Friday Night Lights Season Five: Episode 12: “Texas Whatever” “The East Dillon football program has been eliminated.” For those of use without DirectTV or access to a DVD player (or as I like to call us, series purists), the ultimate high school drama of the new millennium is about to come to a close. The lead-in to next week’s finale didn’t disappoint when it came to upset in the Taylor household and on the...
Friday Night Lights Season 5: Episode 11: “The March” “You’ve got 5,000 people out there, and they want to take our dreams away from us. Are you going to let them take our dreams away from us?” It’s a quintessential lead-up to a Friday Night Lights season finale: the precarious balance of career and family (and football).

Friday Night Lights Season 5: Episode 10. “Don’t Go” “I’m a high school football coach. I don’t think there’s any better position to be able to judge the content of a young man’s character than that.” Okay y’all, let’s get down to it: The Taylors are Texas Gold. They fight, cry, drink, lie, hit their children, live in a pretty shitty house (face it) and have unprotected sex (Gracie Bell). They are perfectly, humanly...
Friday Night Lights Season 5: Episode 3: “The Right Hand of the Father” “Listen to me, I said you needed to strive to be better than everyone else, I didn’t say you needed to be better than everyone else. But you gotta try. That’s what character is, it’s in the trying.” Coach Taylor If anyone has any doubts about the greatness of Coach Taylor, this is a perfect episode to lay them to rest....
Friday Night Lights Season 5: Episode 2: “On The Outside Looking In” “These are letters. From colleges. Miami, Michigan, LSU, Texas, Ohio State, Alabama. Mama, they want me.” Tami Taylor East Dillon High School is an alternate universe where no one recognizes how great Tami Taylor is. The kids aren’t impressed with her efforts to help them. The teachers think she’s mentally unstable for wanting to tutor the students after school and for some...
Friday Night Lights Season 5: Episode 1: “Expectations” “Well, you live in Texas now. You love the game of football, you just don’t know it yet.” The Taylors I’m assuming that anyone who is reading this already knows, but just to be clear, Friday Night Lights is not just a show about football. Yes, there is football, a lot of it. There are also a lot of gorgeous shots of Texas and phenomenal music...
