Friday Night Lights: Episode 4-11, “Injury List”
Coming off a bye week, Friday Night Lights returned with mixed results.
As far as East Dillon has come under Coach Taylor’s guidance, it looks like things are falling apart with the Panthers-Lions showdown closing in. It’s all anyone in town wants to talk about, and as much as Eric tries to keep the team focused: losing Luke is a huge blow. It remains to be seen whether they’ll lose Vince as well.
Then we have Tami’s precarious situation regarding Becky’s abortion. Even though she followed protocol, all it takes is one crazy parent: in this case, Luke’s mother. There’s a very good chance Tami will lose her job over this. We all know Dillon isn’t exactly an open-minded town.
Julie receives a call from Matt in Chicago. Her response? Too little, and way too late. While I understand Julie being upset, I thought she was a bit too harsh. She could have picked up the phone, too. The Taylor’s are certainly having a rough go of it lately.
My favorite scene of the episode: Jess visiting Vince’s mother at the rehab clinic. Speaking of Vince, he sees the ugliest side of his new job. And he probably hasn’t even hit rock bottom yet.
Worst scene of the episode: Becky’s mother kicking Tim out after finding him with her daughter. Haven’t we been through this before?
“Injury List” was too all over the place for me. Not one of Friday Night Lights best efforts, and with only two left hours left in Season 4 – that’s disappointing.
