I think when i get time I'm gonna rewatch the Smash arc in S3 again. I was just thinking about how fucking ballsy most of the moves in S3 were, but Smash was the ballsiest. They could've easily left him with that black coach that had wanted to coach him since he was a little kid in S2, that would've been a good finale for him. But S3, they had the balls to cut that out from under him and have the audience put their confidence in the writers that they knew where to go with it. And man. They took it to a whole nother level.Just unreal how perfect it was.

Finished S3, loved it, but
i don't really look forward to S4, i mean i loved all the chars too much and i don't like the idea of a completely new team. We'll see, i guess. I'll miss Riggins and the other guys though and i seriously hope they don't screw up Matt & Julie relationship, they already did it in S2, so leave 'em alone!

Really?
I thought Tim was gone too, i read somewhere about Matt/Julie/Laundry staying. Cool, i guess, but even if it stays what will he do? Will they show him playing in his new college team? What about Matt? If he stays in town, he surely cannot play in a high school team anymore, i think

Well, FINALLY watched the first episode!:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
It was fucking great, at first I wasn't liking it! But, the last 15 minutes won me over!
GODDAM, Minka Kelly is hoooot. Can't believe she's 28!:lol :lol
Oh, and gdt I can see why Matt is your favorite character! NOT liking that black guy though hope he gets his head out of his ass! I think I'll give it a try!

Well, just got done with the first 8 episodes, and WTF this show is fucking amazing, I hate football, but this show actually makes me care about it.
Matt so far is my favorite character, mainly because he's close to how I was in high school, Jason is just a damn nice guy, totally got fucked! Lyla is just OMFGHshiiiieet hot, I mean goddam "dat ass"! but I think Julie is the cutest and most adorable girl on the show, and I relate to the most mainly because I had no "teen spirit" in high school, football is sadly taken waaaaaaaay to seriously in this town, but I guess that's all they have. I hope Matt and Julie last, from that first date! I like tim too, but he seriously needs to man up and better himself! Also I'm still not liking Smash, with the you know what and everything, I know he's just worried about his family and everything, but still, it's just stupid! The blonde pretty girl seems to be on the show just for looks, don't really care for her all that much!
The Coach and his wife:lol :lol :lol , are definitely fucking awesome, and holy shit at Kyle Chandler. The motherfucker can act, I've never seen him in anything I don't think, but dam is he good. Over all I'm loving it too death, I thought I would hate it, but it's truly an awesome show. I also love the direction, kind of has the Soderbergh look to it!

LOL at episode 9 on the first season, when Matt had to sing for his grandma! Damn that's was the most embarrassing thing ever! Then Julie comes in and goes, I just let this other dude drive me home! WTF!!:lol :lol
Also I loving the title music, is it a full song, or just made for the show??

Goddamnit neoism, this is the second thread you beat me to!
I haven't watched for a couple of days, but I'll watch my next episode in a bit.
Edit: That scene was embarrassing for Matt, but it was also incredibly sweet/heartwarming/heartbreaking all at the same time. Something that this show does sooooooooooooo well, probably better than any other show.

Really.... I've heard that song like 100 times probably my fav by them, it sounds different!Nihilism said:
I agree, but I have to tell you though, Matt is likable and all, but goddamn why is he soo overly polite, and fidgety, I mean I relate somewhat, but you'd think he'd gained some confidence sense the first episode! I like Jason a lot and that story line, and Lyla is so goddamn hot, but a little annoying. I also don't care for all the religious stuff! Julie is the prettiest and coolest though, I still don't know why they don't focus on Matt and her more, and why they are together. I mean she hated/hates football, but is dating the QB! I kind of knew the show would focus on FB a lot, and I'm surprised it doesn't bother me as much as I thought! So far I love the show, but I can't help be think that... it just seems like some of the characters are one dimensional! I probably won't think that after I watch more episodes, I'm only on ep S1E13. I also thought the story lines would be/feel a lot more "closer" The coach and the wife are my fav character's soo far, I loved when the Coach was like WTF's with the BLANKET:lol :lol poor Matt ain't never goin tap that!:lol :lolgdt5016 said:
Also without spoiling much, why is season 2 soo shitty, and what's with all that cut scene shit in season 3!
neoism said:
I could never agree with the characters being one dimensional (except for a few, maybe).
Matt just seems like he was raised by a serious southern grandma. And lets face it, Matt is nowhere near as good as Jason or Voodoo (thats what his "heart" is all about though). Thats why he sometimes has little confidence on/off the field (and other personal things of course).
And Matt is QB1, but he's not really a typical jock. If you remember some scenes in the Pilot and comments from Jason in episode 2, Matt is an artist. It's mentioned a couple times throughout the show, especially in S3.
And the Christian thing, I actually like that FNL doesn't work around Religion in Texas. It's there, everyone follows the same god, and thats just the way it is. It's not in the forefront, but it's not not mentioned either.
Oh boy...S2. It just starts off all wrong. A lot of the lovable characters became extremely unlikable in S2. Especially
Julie
But, it's still FNL. The season gets better and better towards the end, though. And it has a couple of fantastic episodes. Episode 14 also has probably the best scene in the entire show.
And S3. I've talked on and on about how S3 is my favorite season ever. But the S3 DVD is a bit...lacking. They have the NBC cuts of the episodes, instead of the original Direct TV cuts (which are longer, and feature music chosen by the creators of the show). So the NBC cuts are shorter, and usually has poorer music choices. Sad, I know.
At least it has tons of those deleted scenes.

The first part, that's what I'm talking about, I just wish they'd show that stuff!gdt5016 said:And Matt is QB1, but he's not really a typical jock.

Second part WTF that's sucks!
Three part (S3) WTF the really sucks, I'm still looking forward to seeing the later episodes/seasons though!

1) Yeah, it's never really in the forefront. But it's there and consistent. For example, in S2 theres a scene in his art class (thats not really a spoiler).
2) Don't worry S3 will make you love
her
Matt
3) Yeah, it does suck. If...you...can, I suggest watching...those DTV cuts...somehow.
Hey guys; I've been watching on Netflix (<3 streaming). I'm at S2E07; really enjoyed season one but, as apparently most people have found, season two is just getting on my nerves. So many things just don't feel natural:

business; hopefully

That said, this thread does not have nearly enough Landry love. While he's saddled with my least favorite storyline in S2 (
), in S1 the kid was just all manner of hilarious. I'm also not a fan that they've

Matt and the nurse, which is just getting started (first kiss was in E07 I think)
Julie and journalism teacher

although if he'd turned himself in instead of listening to the hot bitch, it might've worked out okay...

I'm on E17 now! Damn, this show is fucking awesome. I wasn't liking E15, and 16 and the
Not liking Tyra at all, she's probably going to get Julie in more trouble than she has soo far! Speaking of which, I'm on "I think we should have Sex" E17. HOLY SHIT that girl is awesome, if I was Matt I would have shit,:lol :lol I'm glad they're finally starting to act comfortable with each other!
Daamn she's hoot!
Racism, it just seemed so forced. But in the end it turned out good.
