Friday Night Lights Season 2 Premiere Has a False Start

Last year my sister kept badgering me all season to watch Friday Night Lights. Since I had missed about half the season I decided to wait for it to come out on DVD. Two weeks ago I began watching the first season of Friday Night Lights on DVD.

I sat down to watch the first episode and ended up watching the entire first disc. I went through the entire first season in one week. I quickly saw what all the hype was about. Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton were totally robbed of Emmy nominations, the stories were realistic and the Friday Night Light producers seem to be the only television show that can find 20 year old actors that are actually capable of acting.

I was excited that the second season of Friday Night Lights was starting so soon after I watched the first season since I had waited to watch it on DVD. Unfortunately my experience with Friday Night Lights this time wasn't quite as good.

The Season Premiere of Friday Night Lights wasn't horrible, but I also didn't think it was the great show it was last season. Let's take a look at our Friday Night Light friends and see where they are now.

The Taylors
I can't believe they actually went through with having Coach Taylor take another job. There are only three possible solutions for Friday Night Lights and none of them are good.

The first solution is that Coach Taylor goes to his job in Austin and travels back home when they need him and he just conveniently is always home when we visit the Taylors' home. The only way Coach Taylor could possibly go from his job and home that quickly is if he borrows Jack Bauer's magical helicopter that goes from New York to Los Angeles in 3 minutes.

The second solution is that Coach Taylor's scenes take place at his job in Austin. This means meeting even more characters and following two football teams and that is just way too much to follow.
