A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

IS THIS WORKING FOR YOU? We don't talk enough here about Friday Night Lights, so I'm here to say that even when it's doing things that aren't really working -- beating a racism-in-southern-football-team plot that I think I've seen eleventy jillion times; hoping that we won't notice that Tyra and Jason look about seven years older and twenty years more seasoned than their high school "classmates" -- it's also doing great stuff like making this week's big game the powderpuff game, with Tyra standing in for her hyperaggressive, impulsive ex, Riggs, and Julie playing the role of her own sometimes boyfriend, the self-doubting benchwarmer thrust into the role of uncertain, game-winning QB1. With an added bonus of Landry calling out Riggs and Coach Taylor. And, of course, Britton and Chandler act the hell out of what may be the only non-boring happy marriage on television.
