Friday Night Lights: Mud Bowl

So while watching this episode I realized that somewhere along the way Lyla became completely freaking awesome. And then I was like, "Wait. Is there anyone on this show who isn't awesome?" Short answer: yes. Long answer: Waverly. But still, pretty good record, Friday Night Lights.

I submit to you, dear reader, Evidence of Awesome, Exhibit 1,000,0003:

Riggs bangs milfs and picks up surrogate kids from school and pizza for dinner. Can anyone say, "Tim Riggins is my new dad"?

Saracen turns over $200 in mysterious (and probably sorely needed) cash and works with his quadriplegic predecessor to be the best quarterback he can be.

Jason stands up to his parents’ sleazy lawyer, coaches his able-bodied successor to state and makes time to check in with Oprah.

Tyra continues to get her act together as far as school's concerned and when some slime ball tries to rape her, she fights like hell and leaves him with some marks that will hopefully help the police identify his body once Riggins murders him.

Landry woos Tyra with the fact that he taught Tim Riggins to read in about a day and a half and is a shaken, but unflinching shoulder for her to cry on.

Smash risks alienating Waverly is order to help her. Also, he expertly handles his trash talkin' opponents.

And Lyla continues to channel her rage (smashing cars one week, shooting cans the next!) and finally tells Jason to stop whining and do something about his crappy life. She also teaches him a nice lesson about saying please when asking for water. Ass.

Just found your blog and YES, I am a slave to the church of FNL. "Tim Riggins is my new father" LOL. I love this relationship but there's only a few episodes left for them to screw it up! You know it's going to get screwed up!

You mean statutory doesn't always have a happy ending?
