BLUE MAG

I don’t know but I always assumed season one of “Friday Night Lights” would end with the Dillon Panthers losing in the Texas state championship game, thus giving them an axe to grind for a potential season two. Brett Love of TV Squad says last night’s finale answered the question of whether Coach Taylor would remain in Dillon, and while I have to assume that he will, I don’t I agree that the question was indeed answered. Instead we got FNL’s trademark cutaway shot for our last glimpse of the show until … hopefuly next fall.

I’m feeling a little bit off about last night’s episode. The energy level of the halftime pep talk seemed low. The speech was too short. The winning play was anticlimactic. I doubt they had planned a cliffhanger ending before the game ended, but the episode seemed rushed to me once the game actually started. But man, what a season. I’m pretty sure Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler make the best TV drama couple since…since I don’t know. (What’s with all the elipses today?)

Even though I’m planning to do a full season ending award post, I’m going to go ahead and tip my hand right now: This was the best new show this season. Hands down. Here’s to season two.
