FNL Precursor

by State School Elitist

I couldn’t finish the full recap by 10am this morning, so just a few quick thoughts about last nights episode and the series in general…

-To those of you who watched the episode, wouldn’t you agree it was a really, really good idea to have one of the female writers take the helm on for this one?

-This should really be nominated for at least four emmys between best actor (Kyle Chandler), best actress (Connie Britton), best series and best cinematography. And that’s at a minimum. The bulk of the shows cast play high schoolers and there are some definite standouts worthy of a best supporting nomination.

-If this series gets renewed for another seaon, and then multiple seasons after that, are they going to follow the characters into college or bring in new actors and keep the series about Dillon, Texas? I imagine that by the time all of the main characters have graduated, Peter Berg is going to call it quits, and that he never intended for the series to go beyond three or four seasons.

-If it does get picked up for a second season, I am looking forward to seeing how the writers keep Taylor from going to UT. I imagine they will rehash the steroids plot, but wouldn’t that get him fired from his current job as well?

… Back with a full recap later today.
