The Panthers are preparing for another game they can't lose. Matt's father comes back from Iraq but his mother's condition is difficult to take in. Tami Taylor sees Tim Riggins regarding his grades. She believes he's not doing his homework by himself and asks Landry to tutor him for his next oral exam. If he doesn't pass, he won't play in the football team.

Kinda like it but didn't really nail it for me. hide show
Kinda like it but didn't really nail it for me. It was pretty boring for me I wish that they could have done better, I wish that they step up the once again:) Kinda like it but didn't really nail it for me. Kinda like it but didn't really nail it for me.
FNL rocks my socks!! :D hide show
Once again, FNL completely engrosses me with their clever writing and intricate plot lines.
How the writers of this show consistantly deliver the goods week-in, week out is a mystery to me. Most shows, you would have to say, slump at some point. Plot lines wear thin, characters become old, but with each passing week I find myself screaming at the screen 'MORE! MORE!'.
It's not only the excellent writing that works. The way in which the production staff address each trauma/drama in teen life. I think the way they are handling the Jason Street storyline is amazing. Most shows would tend to skip over the finer details, but FNL seems to really tap into what it must be like to have your dreams taken from you so tragically.
I only hope they can continue this fine run of form!!
Absolutely Awesome Episode!! hide show
I read a couple previous reviews from other weeks and someone mentioned the possibility of Matt staying with the Taylors, I wonder if this will happen after what we saw last night between Matt and his father. I think that Matt's father may send the Grandmother off to relatives in Oklahoma or a hospital, especially since he's so set on going back to Iraq. In the previews, right after they show Coach Taylor being "served" about the suit you see someone talking to Coach Taylor saying something like - "it's very hard to deal with" or "you don't know how hard the deal is"? I would assume that Coach Taylor is talking to Matt's father.
That scene at the end of the game was such a pivital moment in the character of Matt Sarecen, I think he's coming out of his shell.
Great Episode moments like these are why I watch.
Parents, fasten your seatbelts...you are about to get a reality check. As if it isn't hard enough being a teen-ager, let's throw some adult problems in there for them to deal with and show everyone that not all "heroes" act heroic. hide show
WOW...I am so glad that NBC did not pull the plug on this show. I think it would be hard for some adults to watch this because it deals with real issues in the life of their teenagers. Starting with Lila & Street...the issues they are dealing with you would expect to see an adult couple facing, but showing teenagers in a sexual relationship is something that parent's don't want to know about. And to show these 2 learning how to have a sexual relationship while dealing with complications of infidelity and paralysis is amazing. The show handles this with humor and grace...and begs the question be asked...could I do that?
Then you have Matt...what an amazing young man. Going to school, playing football, working and being a caregiver for his Grandmother. How difficult is that? Can you imagine? I am glad that they brought the father back and didn't try to sugar coat his return. How many soldiers return from war but only want to go back because life here is actually harder than fighting a war? This is another topic that is hard for the general public to comprehend but one that I am sure is a reality. The dad thinks that his son has it easy because he isn't a soldier at war, but easy is relative... I in no way would make light of our soldiers situation in Iraq, but, sometimes people need to realize that home is where we need to be and I am glad that this show has the nerve to take on this issue. I am also thrilled to see them address academic issues as well. So much emphasis is placed on athletics because this is the moneymaker for most schools. Academics are overlooked and people forget that H.S. is just a very small part of life...and so few athletes make it big. What happens to those that don't have the education. I love the relationship Coach has with his team...he is amazing. And his wife, Tammy, what an excellent counselor and partner. She is not a stereotypical wife. The whole scene with them in the frontyard going back and forth about academics and athletics...it was Great. I was cheering her on. I know this is only television, but I hope in this case, life imitates art.
