#TVFail Entry 12: Friday Night Lights, “Last Days of Summer”
The accused: Friday Night Lights, “Last Days of Summer” (Season 2, Episode 1) The crime: Releasing Landry the Killer onto the world, running away from the things that made the series so previously successful Television’s failures are supposed to be obvious. From the overhyped non-starters that flop from the very beginning (hello, FlashForward, Lone Star) […]

Series Finale — Friday Night Lights, “Always”
One LAST TIME, this is the review I wrote during FNL‘s DirecTV run. I will be completely honest with you, I’ve avoided reviewing the last handful of episodes of Friday Night Lights because it’s just been too damn hard to let go. From “Fracture” onward, I’ve basically been left in a heaping ball of my […]

Clear eyes, full hearts: Ranking the top 25 episodes of Friday Night Lights
Note: I posted this list right before the Friday Night Lights finale aired for the first time on DirecTV. I’m re-posting it now just in case you’re watching on the NBC schedule.

Checking in with Friday Night Lights Season Five
Again, these posts were written during the DirecTV run. They’re being reposted here now. I haven’t written about FNL in a while (I think since episode three) because of odd scheduling and also because I’ve been a little frustrated with things. It’s not that season five has been bad, I just didn’t feel like the […]

Season premiere — Friday Night Lights, “Expectations”

I hope you enjoy the season, it is tremendous. Pardon the pun, but coming into Friday Night Lights‘ fifth and final season, we as an audience […]

Season Premiere — Friday Night Lights, “Expectations”
Pardon the pun, but coming into Friday Night Lights‘ fifth and final season, we as an audience have certain expectations. Because this is the final season, we expect some sense of closure for the characters we’ve loved for five seasons (and in some cases, less than that). Though we know many of the original Dillon […]

TV Surveillance Dream Emmy Ballot: Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
This week I’ll be pretending that I have an Emmy vote and discussing my picks for all the major categories. Once it gets closer to the time that nominees are actually announced, I’ll do an official “picks” column. Today: Supporting Actor in a Drama Series! Sorry for the delay, I’ve been busy with my “wonderful” […]

Friday Night Lights, “East of Dillon”
So far I’ve only been linking to my recaps for WEEKEND Watchers, but Friday Night Lights‘ season four debut on NBC is the perfect place to start posting Surveillance-only thoughts. With “East of Dillon,” a lot of things have changed for the Taylors, the football team(s) and really for all Dillon residents. But a lot […]
