Another great episode. This is just one of the best and most enjoyable shows on television right now.
1. Like someone said above, Matt Saracen is one of the most likeable characters on tv, mainly because he's just a normal guy and exhibits some of the qualities that we did when we were in high school. The kid deserves tremendous amount of respect for everything on his plate, from his job to taking care of his grandmother and essentially raising himself, and then throwing football on top of all that. And now that he finally tried to use his QB1 status and it didn't work getting the movie tickets, I seriously doubt he'll ever use it again.
2. It'll be interesting to see the showdown between Saracen and Coach Taylor next week. I would assume this stems from Matt stealing a kiss after the game, which Mrs. Taylor saw.
3. Landry cracks me up. He knows so little, yet knows so much. Saracen noting that he hadn't had a girlfriend since 5th grade, followed by Landry's comment that it was a "bad break-up" and he preferred not to discuss it was hilarious.
4. Coach Taylor's comment about the dating situation was priceless: "well, at least she's not dating a serial killer...or a Riggin."
5. It was nice to see a little bit of depth and humanity to Buddy in that final scene with his daughter, especially when he told her missing the end of the game was no big deal, because "it's just a game".
6. I'm not sure what to think about Lyla. Part of me felt sorry for her there at the end, but at the same time, I felt like she had it coming with what she did to Street.
7. It'll be interesting to see what is going to transpire with Street and Tyra.
8. Tyra + Lyla + Mrs. Taylor = hottest trifecta of women on a tv show in production right now, by far
