    Episode two for Friday Night Lights. This episode is not better that the first episode of the show but a lot of series want a day have an episode like this. Matt Saracen's become a real Panthers and I have to say that I love alreday this characters. Emotionnal, Sweetie, Cute, this perso will be one of y favorite. Kyle chandler is very good too. Street, I'm so sad for him because instead of Smash or Riggon I like his perso. Actually, he seems to be nice, honest and no jackass like the two others. I want to see the scene when Riggon goes to the hospital. I'm sur she will be excellent. Friday Night Lights begins good. 9/10.moreless

    FNL's second installment is continuing the maintain the quality. First, this episode doesn't have a football game in it. Which is not neccesserely bad: it's pure character development for mainly Saracen and Eric.

    The drama continues as Street is permanently paralyzed. This means that the team got weaker: but the show must go on. Being Eric, the coach, must be a hard one. For several one big reason: everyone is pushing him.

    The town is expecting victory. In fact... every single person in the town seems to know football better than the coach himself. This show does portray this little town amazingly: the football symbolizes the only thing for the people to hold up to. This was shown several times with the fake "book club" meeting, just to persuade Eric's wife to get this and that player to do this and that, and the fact that on friday... everything's closed!

    Saracen, although basically WON the previous match, has plenty of problems to deal with. For example... everyone bugging him. Blaming all on adrelaine, luck... whatever.

    We also learn that he works at a fast food restaurant, takes care of the houeshold, as he's living with his sick grandmother. Difficult life he has!

    Overall, this was a very nice character developing episode, fleshing out two very important characters.moreless

    So, first, I watched the pilot episode, and I thought- oh, this isn't that great, predictable stort, etc.
    So I recorded this one on dvr, and was about to erase it, becuase i thought, why bother, but, i decided to watch it
    And I am THRILLED I did so. This episode was great. There was some excelent character developement all around, esp. Coach tailor and saracen.
    This show has, as a result of this episode, become one of my favorite new shows, up there with Heroes and Studio 60
    Despite the fact that NBC has got a lot of criticism for its new fall series, i think they are amazing, and much better than any other networks new showsmoreless
