Are we the only two people still watching it ahead of its NBC run?

i watch it online
― mizzell, Friday, 14 January 2011 20:51 (thirteen years ago) link
I torrent it. Just noticed there hasn't been much talk since it came back from xmas break.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Friday, 14 January 2011 20:57 (thirteen years ago) link
Can't wait for Coach Taylor/Vince's dad thing to come to a head. I'm glad Jess dumped Vince.
(I know that sounds like soap opera stuff to anyone who's not watching, but it's so well done.)
Also, I liked the Epych story, because any opportunity for Tammy to be more awesome than usual is fine by me.

Agree that Julie is becoming a terrible character, but also completely believable.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Friday, 14 January 2011 21:07 (thirteen years ago) link
series will end with matt and julie together.
yeah she reminds me a lot of my old high school/college girlfriends...fickle.
― Moonlight Graham (chrisv2010), Friday, 14 January 2011 21:08 (thirteen years ago) link
Sad there's only four episodes left! ONLY FOUR!
I can't wait to see Tyra again.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Friday, 14 January 2011 21:10 (thirteen years ago) link
think my ideal final four episodes would just be tim getting out of jail and chilling on his land, drinking beers, driving around in his truck and saying texas forever.
man i love tim riggins.
― mizzell, Friday, 14 January 2011 21:25 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe he would go see east dillon play.or visit street in nyc.
― mizzell, Friday, 14 January 2011 21:26 (thirteen years ago) link
mizzell otm
obv vinces dads smackdown is gonna come back to bite him
hope that the show doesnt end w/ coach going to that job in florida (bringing vince?)
― johnny crunch, Friday, 14 January 2011 22:06 (thirteen years ago) link
Really expected them to leave that question up in the air for at least another two episodes, but I'm kind of glad it's not in the way of wrapping up the show anymore. Three more hours left.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 20 January 2011 07:51 (thirteen years ago) link
would watch a spinoff of tim riggins in alaska
― johnny crunch, Thursday, 3 February 2011 23:14 (thirteen years ago) link
These last two episodes are so disappointing the way they've manufactured new conflicts and offered generous helpings of emo that I wasn't really anticipating or hoping for. Bleh. Still have hope for the finale (and glad Tyra is back for the end), but...disappointing.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 4 February 2011 08:27 (thirteen years ago) link
Also, Minka Kelly was on Jimmy Fallon's show last night and *ba-dow* she may currently be the hottest girl on the planet.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 4 February 2011 08:35 (thirteen years ago) link
yea i'd agree w/ both those statements. this last episode every scene was like THIS IS A MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION idk i'd take an hour long cruxifictorious set as the finale
― johnny crunch, Friday, 4 February 2011 12:08 (thirteen years ago) link
riggs and tyra get married, julie and matt fuck like bunnies and matt moves to some remote island after becoming a doctor, and luke becomes a cop in chicago.

killed me
just so so good
wonder what the shows legacy will be, given how few ppl watched it? idk if there even is sucha thing as the 'tv canon' but this show deserves to be in it imo
― Lamp, Thursday, 10 February 2011 16:32 (thirteen years ago) link
I thought the final episode, like the couple before it, just seemed a little hurried. Not that I didn't like it, and I realize it's television and you can't spend SO MUCH TIME wrapping things up nicely with a bow on top, but I wanted just a little more. Was generally happy with all the resolutions, and I think my favorite thing of all about this final season was seeing the Mindy character finally get really developed instead of just being Billy's loud stripper wife like she'd been in the past. Stacey Oristano was definitely up to the challenge there.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 10 February 2011 22:22 (thirteen years ago) link
yah i think you have to be satisfied w/ this wrapping up. wish maybe landry got another scene or 2, wish lila came home? i dont even remember what was up w/ her...i guess she wouldve just stood around and not added much probably. wasnt a huge fan of this whole last season but w/e it didnt like damage the show's overall rep
― johnny crunch, Thursday, 10 February 2011 23:12 (thirteen years ago) link
idk i thought this was a fairly good season - def not as weak as s2 - & it might have been the most patient & nuanced but there was just so many stories. at least they were mostly good stories.
i assumed they just couldnt get minka kelly back for w/e reason - did lyla end up @ princeton??? or was it baylor?
― Lamp, Friday, 11 February 2011 02:47 (thirteen years ago) link
baylor sounds familiar tbh
i think i liked vinces dads storyline the most but it and several of the others felt sorta cliched 2 me
― johnny crunch, Friday, 11 February 2011 03:57 (thirteen years ago) link
the finale was def rushed feeling, but it's what i expected. still good. only think that really bothered me was luke choosing the military over college in arkansas. matt and julie getting married is dumb too, but kinda made sense.
― mizzell, Friday, 11 February 2011 16:10 (thirteen years ago) link
did everyone watch the little 10 min cast wrap/recap interview thing after the finale? feel like i need to pull season 1 dvds off the shelf stat, think i sorta forgot how good that was
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 12 February 2011 04:37 (thirteen years ago) link
i saw that. and then i actually watched the pilot. season 1 is really amazing.
― mizzell, Saturday, 12 February 2011 04:38 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, sometime soon I'm going to have to sit back down with the first season. It's been...well, five years...since I've seen it.
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 12 February 2011 04:41 (thirteen years ago) link
a little of it is nostalgia but im now watching the pilot and jesus christ
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 12 February 2011 04:51 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm not going to split hairs about the finale because it did feel like a victory lap at times, but it earned it. The final scene between Tyra and Tim was great. There was also great Coach/Mrs Coach interaction, which is something the show has never failed to be totally awesome at.
I really like that version of Devil Town.

Sepinwall's greatest moments brings back a lot of things I had forgotten about. most importantly, it reminded me of "Why don't you take off your Member's Only jacket and hang it on the coat rack."
― Gukbe, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 08:44 (thirteen years ago) link
Felt odd that Saracen and Julie would meet up with Tim and Tyra and not invite Landry along seeing as he was in town.
― waka flocka flamini (pandemic), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 14:36 (thirteen years ago) link
Not sure Landry would even want to hang with Tyra, right?
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 14:42 (thirteen years ago) link
i guess cuz maybe that wouldve forced them 2 have a landry/tyra scene (which they shouldve) xp
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 14:45 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah there is that. I might have missed some eps so not sure how they ended things. Wasn't he supposed to meet up with her midway through her first year at college and she never showed or perhaps I'm imagining that?xp
― waka flocka flamini (pandemic), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 14:46 (thirteen years ago) link
No, that's what happened. I seem to remember her not returning his calls too.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 14:47 (thirteen years ago) link
Ice cold...and he literally killed a man for her too which is more than Riggins ever did.
― Idgi Pop (KMS), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 15:16 (thirteen years ago) link
tbf, Landry was tied to a very in-flux part of her life that she probably wanted to move past (if we're extrapolating behavior out of characters that the show didn't actually give us). Sad as it may be, Landry was someone she had to build up so she could later step on him to move into the next phase of her life.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 15:22 (thirteen years ago) link
She'll make a great politician, then.
― Idgi Pop (KMS), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 15:31 (thirteen years ago) link
will miss this show

So I guess us NBCers move into this thread now?

Could not WAIT for the new WR to get off the basketball court because nothing is worse than seeing someone who can't ball.
(Also, Vince looks *tiny* on the field this year, like he's in Pop Warner or something!)
― Matt Groening's Cousin (Leee), Saturday, 16 April 2011 04:13 (thirteen years ago) link
hi leee!
i can't remember which season i ended up on because of directtv/nbc confusion.
― tehresa, Saturday, 16 April 2011 04:13 (thirteen years ago) link
hi teh!
I think you finished the fourth season, the first one with Wallace and East Dillon? Season 5 (the last one!) just started on NBC tonight!
― Matt Groening's Cousin (Leee), Saturday, 16 April 2011 05:21 (thirteen years ago) link
So I just watched the third episode where Vince's dad comes home -- has the show always had such a glaring small-c conservative streak?
― NoShoutsNoCalls (Leee), Monday, 9 May 2011 00:59 (twelve years ago) link
Should I keep going with the show? It's pretty lame right now.
