FNL commentary

On tonight's episode of Friday Night Lights:

1) Honestly, what was Matt Saracen thinking? He's QB1 for the Dillon Panthers. If Britney, David Beckham, and Scooter Libby were rolled into one person, Bri-ham-ooter would still be less scrutinized than QB1 in Dillon, Texas. And this guy is out buying condoms? I was only listening at this point (I was in the kitchen putting out a mild grease fire), but even without looking, I was certain that Coach would find out his daughter's boyfriend was buying condoms. That Julie's mom randomly saw him is just beating the viewer over the head. Cmon, FNL writers! Give us a little credit.

2) I'm still divided about Street and Lyla. On the one hand, she has been supportive of him (except for fighting him about trying out for the national quad rugby team). On the other, she is kind of a snake. And he does seem to get along with this Austin girl (an alternative-type cutie with tats and glasses? Ooh la la creme).

3) What was up with Blair getting absolutel posterized in the second half? Oh, wait, that was me just switching back to the BC basketball game...shudder...

4) I love Timmy Riggins as much as the next guy, but isn't he supposed to be the loner from the down-on-their-luck family? He's got a pinball machine! That's awesome! Why is he so sullen all of the time?
