Friday Night Lights Returns, Sort Of
I've just seen the first episode of Friday Night Lights' season 3, and except for some understandable heavy exposition, I loved it: despite the cast turnover and some changes, it was as funny, compelling and heartbreaking as anything in season 1.
And I sort of feel I should leave it at that, because most of you who—like me—do not have DirecTV will not be able to see it for months. Season 3 begins its exclusive satellite engagement on DirecTV's 101 Network October 1, not to return to NBC until January February.
I'm not sure whether DirecTV will be sending me screeners of every episode, and in any event, I doubt I'll blog the show regularly until winter, but I thought I'd take a page from Alan Sepinwall and poll you. Do you want to know any more about FNL in the meantime? And are any of you going to be watching it on DirecTV?
