Friday Night Lights—Pilot
"Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose."

She's going to try and sing to that cat next week. Uh oh.

Yeah, agreed on this being the best of the season. For Hannah, the show really emphasized her nature with things like the funeral scene and her call to her dad, so I spent a lot of time disliking her actions. Still, I enjoyed her interactions with the publishers, and her playing mediator was a nice sequence that…

Next week, a flashback to the handjob kidney stone!

I nodded and went "Yes, this makes sense" in my head.

I agree with Todd in that everyone should watch Short Term 12. It was one of my favorite movies last year, and Brie Larson was amazing in it.

I really liked this episode. I know the show gets a lot of criticism for an over-repetition of various character beats, but this is the kind of "staying true to the characters" situation that the show handles very well. Although it was time for the two to go, Parks was still able to craft an emotionally satisfying 30…

I call that being smart.

B+

"Holy mother of Malia…and Sasha. I love them both equally."

Dylan McDermott as a PETA representative with a perpetual erection and copious amount of dandruff on his ass who protests the Hell Circus…before realizing he has a clown mask fetish and attempting to tearjerk into Lily Rabe's demented-ness.

Well, you see, because Kyle was a barely functional Frankenstein who had to read flashcards to know shit a few episodes ago, it makes sense that now he'd be an all powerful killer who can override witch powers.

And the other black witch attempted to teach an immortal slaveowner about race equality, but that got fucked up and she went to the next logical step: a Hell in which she served fried chicken. Because black people.

Speaking of, I'm happy Reddick seemed to be having lots of fun with the character. It was about time he got to let loose a little; too bad it was in a shitty show.

I wanted everyone to just die at the end. Of course, knowing the show, they'd all be resurrected halfway through the credits.

I REGRET DOING THIS.

D-

That was awful, I hated it, I don't know why I watched it, I'm glad it's over, and I don't want to speak of it again.

That final scene was really well done. Justified has always been great at crafting those tension-filled stand-offs, and this one has me even more interested in the Crowe family. It's a different kind of animal than the Bennetts or the Crowders, and the scene adds another layer to Daryl's character; Rapaport has been…

The most important thing is that Timothy Olyphant took his shirt off again.
