Friday Night Lights Ends Season 3 Beautifully

Direct TV has just finished airing Season 3 of Friday Night Lights (13 episodes total), as the show premiered on broadcast television (NBC) this week.

I have been following FNL 3 for the last 13 or so weeks...those who are going to watch it on NBC from now till spring should prepare themselves for what is truly an amazing story development.

It's been said before, and I reiterate --- this is a great show nobody is watching!

Forget about the uneven second season, the third one makes up for everything ----

From Julie and Matt finally doing the most intimate thing couples do, to her parents learning of it, to Tami talking to her daughter about this new level in her relationship;
From Tyra falling in love with a heart-breaker, to needing Landry still, to Landry standing up for himself to her, to finally accepting he is the one she really loves and has stood by her;
From Lyla supporting Tim, to Tim supporting Lyla, to Lyla losing a family with her dad disappointing her big time, to her gaining a new family with the Riggins --- Bill & Mindy and Tim;
To Jason Street's new found responsibility, independence and hopefully, success; to Smash's new achievement;
To Eric and Tami's new challenges

All of these and MORE? Puts FNL Season 3 back on my top-list.

The finale laid the groundwork for what should be a fresh and captivating Season 4, should that turn out well (it's still not known if the show is getting a fourth season). But at the same time, it seems obvious we won't be seeing back a lot of these characters anymore, and will be rooting for new ones.

In a way, it's sad if you think about it. There will be no more Jason, Smash, Tyra or Lyla or Tim. But I liked the way the writers provided them closure. I was very satisfied with the way things ended for a lot of these characters.

On the flipside, the future of Eric Taylor's coaching career offers something new and I can't wait to see what that is.

Seriously, Grey's Anatomy should take a cue from this show's writing team, from planning to development to execution. :P

United States of Tara Pilot

Interesting can't even begin to describe what United States of Tara is. I've read though that not everyone who saw the early streams (as Tara premiered on the internet before it did on TV the other week), didn't really find anything to like about this new series. I guess that's usually the effect Diablo Cody (Juno) has with the audience. She is the creator of the show. And with her, it's either you like her stuff or you don't... no in-betweens.

Well, I like this. And I like Tara's....err... diversity. Who wouldn't? She has four personalities living in one body --- she could never be boring. One can't possibly not love Toni Collette. Because she is one talented genius, playing all personalities to a T. (Incidentally, T is one of her personalities, a 15 year old who speaks like those kids on Juno).

The show is without hitches as some execution felt uneven. But I'd tend to overlook that for now and just relish in the new-ness of it.

What I can't understand...and maybe this will be explained later in the series (it should!)....is when and what triggered Tara to become crazy. ???

Her family is obviously very, very supportive of her. They deal with her multiple-egos with patience, acceptance, humor and understanding. And Tara's husband (John Corbett) is a perfect catch. Imagine sticking with her for 17 years, indulging and accommodating each of the four people in her head, while not ever thinking about giving her up and living his own life. There's a good, good man!

With Tara's kind of a support system from her family unit, what did really make Tara crazy then?

I can't wait to find out and meet her other personalities in the next episodes.

United States of Tara airs on Showtime.

Erica says...(On Love)

See, this is why I enjoy watching Being Erica (Canadian TV). Because I so get how she is, I so can relate.

This is what she said about love in the latest episode (sixth):

"The heart wants what it wants, it forces us to act when reasons dictates otherwise, it tears down walls, breaches boundaries, and for better or worse, it leads us places that the head would never go"

Beautiful, isn't it?

Can't Wait For --- See Cate Run

The show is just in its development stages, and I am already growing with excitement for it. Especially since they've cast Amy Smart to play the lead. Love her!

From THR:

Jenna Elfman and Amy Smart have been tapped as the leads of CBS' comedy pilot "Accidentally on Purpose" and ABC's drama pilot "See Cate Run," respectively.

The casting of Elfman lifts the contingency on "Accidentally."

The project, from CBS Par and BermanBraun, revolves around Billie (Elfman), a San Francisco movie critic who finds herself "accidentally" pregnant after a fling with a younger man, and the unconventional family that comes from this "mistake."

"Dharma & Greg" alumna Elfman, repped by CAA and Brillstein Entertainment, next appears in the indie comedy "Love Hurts."

The ABC Studios-produced "Cate" (formerly "I, Claudia") centers on a young prosecuting attorney (Smart) who one day is going to be a serious contender for president of the U.S.

Smart, who next appears in "Crank 2: High Voltage," is repped by Endeavor and Untitled.

Stop Looking Cal Lightman!

I think I know now what is it about Cal Lightman (Lie To Me) that bothers me.

It's the way he looks at a suspect upon interrogation. It makes one look guilty, when there's nothing to be really guilty of, or when it's "guilt" that doesn't have anything to do with the case they're trying to solve.

Either way, his stare makes one too self-conscious. Like he's dressing you down, reading your soul or something. It's so uncomfortable.

I'd be a nervous wreck if he was around and I was being interrogated. I would much rather have Jack Bauer interrogate me than Cal Lightman.

Do you like Cal Lightman's style?

Chloe on 24 Had A Crumpler Bag!

And it's almost the same one as mine. Hers is bigger, but we've got the same color and line.

Am just saying.... Or bragging.

That's the closest thing to "being Chloe" I can get. :P

Frustrated covert/CTU agent, that's me.
