D.W. Moffett, Friday Night Lights: Riggins to the Rescue...?
After last week's chaotic mess that put J.D. McCoy in starter position and made homeowners out of Jason Street and the Riggins boys, what adventure can we get into this week?
J.D. McCoy, boy wonder. Now a starter. Still an uncool freshman. How to fix that? Well, get Mr. Cool himself, Tim Riggins, talked into taking care of young McCoy. As the new freshman QB is being mercilessly razzed by his teammates, only the big man on the team, Mr. Riggins himself, can lend an aura of cool to the hopelessly dorky McCoy. I'm sure you can imagine Riggins does this with dispatch. In fact, he is so successful that young McCoy finds himself in a typical Riggins-type situation — and you can only guess what that does to McCoy's controlling old man, played by me. This is where I get to play some really dirty chops and with it, you can just feel the tension that's run between McCoy and Taylor escalate to an all new level.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Jason Street and the Riggins boys continue their rehabbing of the Buddy Garrity house. Can anyone see this being a smooth process? Really?
Saracen and Julie flirt and flirt and go to the lake — metaphorically speaking, of course! Let me just say that the dialogue-free scene where these two young lovers return from the lake may very well be one of my favorite sequences of the entire season. Amazing acting on both parts.
And of course we have Tyra and the cowboy continue their little dance with the devil. And ladies, let me just say this — when a guy says "I will never lie to you," run for the hills! Trust me on that one.
And watch for some new interests in Landry's life this week. More about that later!
And you know, every week when I watch this show (and I do watch with you) I am just so glad that I'm watching the best show on TV! Aren't you?
As always, enjoy! And tell me what you think here at TVGuide.com or at dwmoffett.com!
Until next week,
D.W. Moffett
