Give it a chance.

Hi guys! I am back from California! It was nice, it was sunny (well, sunnier), I bought things, I had fun. But now I want to talk about Friday Night Lights!


LAST WEEK ON FNL: Tyra and Landry made out, Tim and Lyla did not, Jason met a waitress (actually, that was awhile ago), Smash got in troooooouble (and cried!).




SMASH. You do not walk out on Mama Smash in the middle of church, son. I don't care how much college angst you have.


So Jason knocked up a waitress.




BOYS!!! Playing dodgeball! Also, Tim Riggins getting pelted by balls twice in one season is delightful for me, for some reason!


I cannot tell you how much I love that Herc's reaction to this whole pregnancy thing is "what a bitch" while Jason's is "but this baby is a MIRACLE!!".


I know you all know I am not at all into Tim/Lyla, but Tim's new winning Lyla over strategy DELIGHTS me. Donate to the church, Billy! Maybe I will start my own sports radio show! Look how pretty I am! Heyyyy, Lyla! (Sidenote: every time I see "Tyla" there is always a second where I think the person means Tyra/Lyla. ...which would be cooler, in its funny little way.)


That's right, Julie Taylor, your parents are adorable.


POOR SMASH. (Um, slightly embarrassing confession: I am starting to enjoy Smash's girlfriend. Um?)




Everyone on this show is very, very attractive. It is mildly ridiculous. (Tim Riggins with a pencil behind his ear!!! Why do I find this so lovely?)


Landry: Tyra is good in the boudoir!!
Matt: WELL I HAD A HOT GUATEMALAN IN-HOME CARE NURSE, OKAY?! SHUT UP.

(I love them.)




Choose college, Smash!



A showcase of how much Eric Taylor loves his wife.




"Your long hair kinda reminds me of Jesus."







I AM SO GLAD ABOUT THIS.


Lyla Garrity's dream family is a blonde bunch of Princeton grads who buy their shoes at Neiman's.




Dude, Lyla. You can't pick out a ridiculously Christian boyfriend and then expect him to pick sleeping with you over Jesus.






WORDS CANNOT CONTAIN THE AMOUNT OF LOVE I HAVE FOR THIS SCENE. Guys, if this show is gone, I will be inconsolable.


OMG YOU GUYS. I wish this stage of the Tim/Lyla biopic could go on FOREVER. Tim Riggins making small talk with old people at church!!



Guys, neither of these people looks nineteen:


God, I love this show.



Do you think flooding NBC studios with our tears would make an effective "Save Our Show" Campaign? Yes, no, maybe so? I bet I can produce enough to fill Ben Silverman's office.

GUH. I love Tim. I love Lyla. Aaaaaand I love Tim/Lyla. I don't care how long it takes them, just as long as they end up together and have lots and lots of sex.

I like how the waitress is 19, yet she looks 30.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
I just! The last thing Lyla needs is another relationship. She is never going to learn how to stand on her own!

I KNOW, right?!? I kept forgetting they were supposed to be teenagers because THEY DO NOT RESEMBLE THEM. I mean, at least Scott Porter can pull it off. Sigh.

LYLA NEEDS TO BEESLY UP?

[For real though, I want Tim/Lyla SO BAD but at the same time, if they are together as a couple-couple for more than...two episodes, I will be fully over it.]

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
LYLA NEEDS THE WHOLE BEESLY SHE-BANG. If she still wants Tim at the end of it, I suppose she could even have her own beach day! Although, Tim is a lot less in need of a metaphorical brick to the head than Jim Halpert.

[identity profile] silverstars.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
I busted out laughing when that chick said she was 19. NO WAY. She looks AT LEAST 30. PLEASE.

I'm so with you about Tim/Lyla. I don't really get it at all, but Tim has been so entertaining for the past few weeks. This could go on forever and I would not care. Tim at church. Tim on the radio. A+++

There needs to be some sort of generally accepted FNL rule that Matt and Landry must have at least one scene together per episode. They are my favorite. HOT MEXICAN NANNY. AHAHAHA. (Also, Tyra and Landry held hands for, like, five seconds and I am pretty much eternally delighted. I'm going to be praying daily that a miracle happens and NBC decides to order a few more episodes this season because I need more of them together.).

I also think this might be the first "save our show" campaign that I will actually participate in. I will be gutted if this show is canceled.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
TIM!! I love him this way. It's so much better than the moping over Lyla way he gets sometimes. I love that he sits with old ladies during church. I am very pleased!

YES, MAN. They haven't had enough bff scenes this season, and they are just... I can't even deal with how wonderful they are. Playing guitar hero! Making fun of each other's taste in women. SO GREAT! (ALSO, I KNOW. Five seconds and I got like, seven caps out of it. It was sick how much that pleased me. And they cut to her cheering when he made a touchdown!!)

I think I've done one other? But GOD, I actually cannot deal with this show being gone. Right after it took over my head!

Okay, so I don't watch FNL but I glanced over the pictures while I was scrolling down to comment, and I gotta say, they have somee hilarious facial expressions, haha. I'm sure they're probably less hilarious in context, but still.

Also I'm glad you had fun in California. It took me, like, forever after you texted me to make the connection that you weren't, in fact, in Colorado. Because I failllll. Just saying.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Some of the facial expressions were hilarious in context. (DID YOU NOTICE HOW RIDICULOUSLY PRETTY EVERYONE ON THIS SHOW IS?)

That text message was basically ABOUT how I was in California. WHAT!

[identity profile] book-babe.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
(I DID.)

Hahahaha, I knowwww. I told you I fail!!!

Also GOOD SONG. THAT WAS OUR PROM SONGGGGG. lol I'm reading through my old entries and I'm missing my junior year Swede angst so it's fitting, haha. It was more fum then. Because it would go away when he would call me about prom. Or spontaneously text me about homework. I miss that? I'm so bored. Tired. I think I might sleep.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
(DID YOU ALSO NOTICE THAT ONE GUY FROM GILMORE GIRLS?)

Ahahahaha.

The song I was listening to? I MAY HAVE GOTTEN IT FROM THE O.C.

Melissa, it is TEN O'CLOCK on a SATURDAY. You cannot seriously be thinking about bed :(

[identity profile] book-babe.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
(I DID NOT. I WILL LOOK AGAIN.)

:)

Hee, niceee.

:( I got three hours of sleep Thursday night? idk. I keep getting sidetracked, so I doubt I'll actualyl end up going to be early.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Three hours, WHAT!

[identity profile] janetmaca.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
SMASH. You do not walk out on Mama Smash in the middle of church, son. I don't care how much college angst you have.

Amen! <- wow, even I think that's bad.

WORDS CANNOT CONTAIN THE AMOUNT OF LOVE I HAVE FOR THIS SCENE. Guys, if this show is gone, I will be inconsolable.

Maybe there'll be group therapy sessions. :( That scene was so awesome. I want to rewatch that seen now.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Hahahaha. I am all for lame puns!

Oh my god, I could watch it FOREVER. They are the very best possible family!

[identity profile] cariprin.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
I LOVE TIM. TIM TIM TIM TIM. Pencil behind ear was trés cute too. Lol, Lyla was SO CRUSHED when she was rejected at getting laid. Oh poor lyla and her bodily desires which will never be satisfied for hmm, quite a while. Times like those she misses time.

I'll link this picspam in my scrap book.

[identity profile] cariprin.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
misses *Tim.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
DUDE, he was just all-around adorable this week. I would have called into his radio show and told him his hair made him look like Jesus too, maybe! And ahaha, yeah. I don't know what was up with her! If it's sex you're after, Garrity, you picked the wrong boy.

\o/

Alex, I love this! The prospect that this may be the last episode is making my head hurt. And I can't even include the word EVER in there because the finality of it all is going to make me cry.

There are so many caps here where I'm just like, YES. PERFECT! or YES. PRETTTTTY! but it's basically like, half of them.

Tim Riggins, churchgoer is basically the most brilliant thing they could have done with him. It makes me all happy and giggly for no real reason other than the fact that TIM RIGGINS. IS AT CHURCH.

Gaius Charles has been so solid this season. And last. I think I tend to overlook him because sometimes I just like, OH, SMASH. But seriously, Gaius Charles, you are amazing!

Annnnnnnnd the whole Taylor family dynamic this episode was brilliant! Julie watching her parents while holding Gracie, "He talks too much. He's a talker." and Coach Taylor's ongoing jealousy is just so perfect. Oh Coach, you have nothing to worry about. And "Yell louder!" I loved that scene.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
I am really actually having trouble accepting that it might be. I am in a sea of denial of my own creation, because I actually CANNOT DEAL with the idea that this could be the last one.

This show is actually the prettiest. The cinematography and the cast and EVERYTHING.

It makes me all happy and giggly for no real reason other than the fact that TIM RIGGINS. IS AT CHURCH.
HE WAS GOING ALL OUT ABOUT IT TOO. Sitting with old ladies, tugging on Billy's sleeve, I just! Those scenes! They were so pleasing!

Adrianne Palicki (or somebody?) said something about how Gaius Charles was the least like his character, but damn, he is incredible as Smash. And incredibly easy to overlook! But I was so glad for him this week! I was afraid this mess was going to ruin his college chances so they could keep him around (somehow) next season.

YES, oh my god. The "I'm your prize stallion" (or something)/"that's right, baby" made me grin SO MUCH. I love the Taylors. TO PIECES.

Your pic-spam ROCKED! :D

I arrived here through a link for the picspam...but your line?

Do you think flooding NBC studios with our tears would make an effective "Save Our Show" Campaign? Yes, no, maybe so? I bet I can produce enough to fill Ben Silverman's office.

LAMO. I'm so there with you!

This picspam is made of win. Gosh was this episode full of beautiful Tim Riggins :) Also I love that Jason is like "MIRACLE BABY!11!!!!!1!"

IT WAS, he is lovely to stare at. I was glad of that! And hahaha, yeah. Oh, STREET. I love you.
