I haven't read this yet
Fri, 07/15/2011 - 09:44 — RonMexicoI haven't read this yet since I'm only midway through season two of the DVD's (I now feel guilty and ashamed for not watching when it originally aired) and don't want to be spoiled but yesterday a history of Friday Night Lights as told by the cast and crew was put up on grantland.com.
FNL episode description is vague
Fri, 07/15/2011 - 10:20 — brookecain (author)The FNL episode description here is pretty vague on purpose. I didn't want to give anything away for those still catching up. I haven't personally seen tonight's episode yet, and I can't wait. I had two people send me that grantland.com recap yesterday, and I haven't looked at it yet because I don't know if it'll have spoilers about tonight's show or not. As soon as I finish tonight's finale, I'm going to read it. I've been told it's excellent.
