Friday Night Lights, "A Sort of Homecoming": Father of the pride
Original at sepinwall (Blogspot)
• Wed, Nov 18
By asepinwall@starledger.com (Alan Sepinwall) • I'm glad to see that Landry has learned a lot from his time with Tyra about what not to do - and what to do - around a girl he likes. The awkward Landry of season one wouldn't have been able to so confidently plant a kiss on Jess and then walk away like that. (The Landry of season two just would have ki...

By Myles Going into the show’s fourth season, the narrative was drawn as clearly as the zig-zagging border line: with two football teams in town, one led by our fearless hero and the other by the villainous interlopers, this season was going to be about the fight between the Lions and the Panthers.
