Friday Night Lights—"Always" (5x13, series finale)

"You've done this before. You're a business major. What's the worst that could happen?"

Other Thoughts
-There are seriously so many great quotes in this episode that I spent about 15 minutes trying to decide which one to put at the top of the review.

Friday Night Lights—"Texas Whatever" (5x12)
“Coach shows up and gives 100%. Every game, every practice. It’s more than just a game to us. Football is our life.”

Friday Night Lights—"The March" (5x11)
The Lions are marching toward state, and this once 2-8 team is now moving right through the competition. In an interesting stylistic choice, the playoffs are reduced to 1 episode, partly due to time constraints, but also due to the fact that it simply works. It doesn’t feel…

"Are you calling the manager? I don't think there's any need for that. I'm sure we can figure it out together."

I would be completely fine with the register and/or her messing up and holding up the line while I'm waiting. In fact, I would encourage it.

Matt Zoller Seitz is probably my favorite TV/film reviewer out there right now. Oh man, weekly reviews by him would be the best.

Oh, and I really liked the shot of Tawney with her back to the wall and Ted Jr. paused in the doorway, looking back. They're not completely in the same room yet, but Ted Jr. isn't walking out in a huff and slamming the door without looking back anymore.

Lots of praise goes out to actors like Aden Young and Abigail Spencer, but J. Smith Cameron's also been killing it throughout the series. I love how the episode's structured to lead up to that wonderful monologue and to lead from it afterward: Daniel and Janet and Jared are kidding around, but when Amantha enters, the…

Yeah, aside from the shorter season, I think one of the greatest strengths of Live Another Day was the fact that it seemed to hinge upon intertwined personal history even more so than the other seasons did. I wasn't the biggest fan of the Audrey announcement coming in, for example, but the show was able to make both…

*Aaron Pierce lands on top of Jack's helicopter*

*Kim Bauer walks onto the ship*

AARON PIERCE??

The fact that we got another season of 24 that could improve upon the 6th and 8th seasons was already great. Then, Jack Bauer drove a car through multiple explosions, threw someone out a window, and decapitated Cheng Zhi, and it became one of the show's best seasons. What a pleasant surprise, and if the show can…

I'm glad you like them! What'd you think of season one?

Friday Night Lights—"Don't Go" (5x10)
“Coach…he’s the best.”

*Dan Gilbert hurriedly burns letter*

Nice, I'm happy you made an account. On your first point, I will take this opportunity to compliment Abigail Spencer because man, did I feel for Amantha throughout. Spencer does melancholy and lack of purpose and ketchup face really well, and her job interview was devastating in so many ways. We knew that her whole…

"Thank you for, well, for Kerwin. He was a good person, and he was my friend. I miss him every day."
