“We’re family,” Mindy sobs as Becky is “returned” to her mother. “Let’s say family,” Tim Riggins says to Becky, as they make their lasting peace. But the finale was devastating nonetheless: hit after hit of elation, intensity, and tears for exactly the reasons we outlined above. Or, on occasion, both.Īnd so, all week friends e-mailed and IM’d us, worried that this finale would be “devastating”: Would Tami and Coach break up? Would the team lose at state? Would Ornette go back to prison? Would Landry return to finish the job? And of course, none of these “bad” things happened. Like family, it could leave you smiling or sobbing. Friday Night Lights, at its best, was utterly unique viewing, gut-rattling and occasionally almost suffocating. We’re thinking of the quiet moments when feelings were allowed to process and breathe, not unlike the way they do in real life: The great wave of hurt that crashes over Tami’s silent face at the “conversation dinner,” the unspoken intimacy of Julie catching her parents in an argument, then sitting with them silently the way only a relative could. And when we speak of “emotion,” we don’t just mean histrionics and fireworks - although FNL could go big with the best of ‘em.

#Friday the 13th the game creators movie#
Credit can be divvied up between the creators (the executive producer, aggro-emo stylist Peter Berg, has been doing this sort of thing on the big screen for awhile now - if anyone can make us tear up over a movie based on a board game, it’ll be him), the stunning, deep cast, and the show’s unexpectedly intimate shooting style that de-emphasized blocking in favor of natural, improvised movement and interaction. But more than any of that, it was a show about emotion: real, raw, and recognizable. That was the show, right there.įriday Night Lights was a Trojan horse from the start, using a cleverly constructed football-shaped vehicle to deliver a weekly sermon on small-town America touching on on TV-anthema like race, class, and religion with a rare eloquence. No matter who comes down with the ball, they’ve already won. And at that moment we realized: It doesn’t matter who comes down with the ball or what the final score of the game is. Buddy is hollering up a storm on the sideline with cranky Principal Levi right behind him. Julie is there, Matt beside her, as she holds her nervous hands to her face. But intercut with the gridiron opera are the faces of the friends and family we’ve come to know so well: There’s Tami, love in her eyes. The ball soars through the humid southern night The troubled, brilliant QB prepares to unleash his cannon, one throw to win them all.

Coach relays the play to Vince - his surrogate son, the only hope. The Lions are losing with only seconds left. But, as ever, it comes down to a miracle. Each player shines: Luke rumbles for a score Tinker blocks his massive, pig-loving heart out Hastings continues to have more receptions than lines. Trills of piano, guitars as anxious as we are. It’s the state championship, shot in appropriately epic fashion, like the unreleased Imax cut of Gladiator. But we’d like to begin this final recap with a moment that came at the very end of the episode, one that, to us, perfectly captured the walloping emotional brilliance of this show. This final episode of Friday Night Lights began by echoing the very first: press tents set up on a field, young men peppered with inane questions, expectations higher than the West Texas sky.
