The network premier of the final season for Friday Night Lights is just a day away. Bittersweet emotions abound as we travel back to Dillon for one last season. As much as I hate the ad, I wish we could get the sprinkler guy from the Buffalo Wild Wings commercials and send this season into overtime.
Season 5 will once again be anchored by Emmy nominees Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton, and will be joined by the cast from last year. Each week could be infused with nostalgia as long-time Friday Night Lights favorites such as Scott Porter, Taylor Kitsch, Zach Gilford and Adrianne Palicki will all return for the show's final season.
Not sure if the show will pick up in the aftermath of the Lions big win over the Panthers or if some time will have elapsed. Remember one of the last things we saw was Coach hanging Christmas lights on the house. Do we get to see the holidays in Dillon, or will we fast forward to the preseason? Will Luke remain a Lion or head off to prep school? How can Luke think about transferring after a win like that? His mother will not be happy to hear Tammi is coming to his son's school though that's for sure. If he stays, Luke and Tinker will be a focus I feel as their friendship continues to grow. Will they explore Stan, Coach Best Buy's, sexuality in the final season and another social issue to the list of ones they have tackled? Vince and Jess will test the limits of their feelings and the limits of Big Mary's patience. Hopefully we will see Vince's mother doing well and due to return home. No matter what transpires I'm sure we are in for a treat. Break out the eye black but have the tissues close at hand. C.E.F.H.C.L.!!!
clear eyes, full hearts, can't believe it's ending!!!!!!
