how the more things change, they also stay the same sometimes

i'm almost caught up on "Friday night lights".

after watching matt saracen break down in the shower about his fear of being abandoned, and getting personally choked up about it, it's more than fair to say that very few shows explore the human condition as well as they do.

and after watching the crystal meth dealers fight with the riggins boys, it's fair to say that very few shows are as hokey when they stray from reality.

and after watching 90 minutes of the show, it's fair to say that just 3 minutes of actual football footage is entirely way too little.
