A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

AN EPISODE FEATURING A SHARK: With a considerable measure of sadness, I am starting to wonder if Friday Night Lights has "jumped the shark." I found Friday's episode to be both boring and implausible.

I will be careful here not to mention any spoilers, but the scenes that rang hollow for me included:

• the scene in the Gulf of Mexico,
• the scene in the locker room at half time,
• the second half of the football game,
• the dinner involving 2 football players and Coach Taylor, and
• certain aspects of the scenes involving Tami and Eric Taylor.

Alan Sepinwall agrees in part and disagrees in part with my thoughts. His piece is here.
