Drive thru babies? Actually my 2nd child was born in the hospital parking lot just outside the door. We didn't make it inside and the baby was READY!

I do think the writers have done a good job, I just wish we'd had a full 22 episodes for them to work their magic.
Never thought about the Tom Landry angle.
That wasn't Jess' mom, she said that was her Aunt. And I think I heard that after last week or so Steve Harris wouldn't be in the rest of the season. That disappoints me because I like his character.

To think that Brad got the fever for acting by performing with a monkey in Japan? Wild.

When comparing Season Two to any other season is unfair. They had planned on 22 episodes. But it was shortened because of the writers strike. But it wasn't crafted to be 15. They had written the script up through episode 15 fully expecting a 22 episode season. But it just got cut short with so many stories left hanging w/ no resolution: Smash's recruitment, Santiago living w/ Buddy, Saracen living on the edge and having that shower scene w/ Coach, Lyla working at the radio station and being the girlfriend of Logan from Gilmore Girls, etc.

But you bring up a good point about them having to be much more intentional about making things powerful, such as in "The Son" or even in "Stay".

I think you hit the nail on the head. The writers/producers of FNL have be burdened with the task of doing a great job crafting a seasonal story arc that we all would like to be in 22 episodes, but cramming it into 13. Last season that worked for the most part, but this season we had many new characters that we've had to explore their background as well. I think the writers have done a good job with this task. But still....I'd LOOOOOOVE for season 5 to be a full 22 episodes.

And you're right, that lady at the school board meeting made me want to see Tami slap her.

There is no way I ever see Eric "letting" the Panthers win. After the forfeit at halftime of the first game...and how he told his players he was sorry for not believing in them...there's no way he ever loses on purpose. And I don't think Eric cares what the Panther boosters think of him. They showed him the door. Plus he's got his new group of boosters now (Barbeque Boosters?) and they seem to have taken a liking to him.

From watching the video, what scenes or storylines from the first few seasons did you miss the most?

It makes me want to start over from the Pilot and do a FNL Marathon!

Glad to do the interview. He's done a great job the last four seasons. His role has probably been one of the toughest with some of the most emotional of scenes. He knows how to bring it. I was disappointed in Post Grad though. Not his acting, but the writing. I bet Pete Berg puts him in a movie before long.

Yeah, so much of FNL just seems "heavy" right now. But I'm afraid of the last game. While I think a win for the lions would be the ultimate "feel good" moment. It just seems too unrealistic right now. What do you think about that game,?

I think as a character I'm going to miss Matt more than anyone else. But I'm not sure if he and Julie will get back together or not. Plus she seems pretty pissed right now. But I look forward to Zach's movies.

You are so right. I've wondered if there were other schools that could have gotten caught up in the opening of East Dillon. That's a question worth finding out some how.
