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.

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.]

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.
