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.

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.

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.
