Alright everyone it’s here.  The Friday Night Lights season 4 finale.  This season certainly started off rough but it had a lot of greatness packed into it and it really went out on a high note.  Between last week’s episode and this episode, it’s just some of the best TV around right now.  I cannot wait for the 5th and final season.  Let’s get started.

This episode starts off at a press conference being held basically to promote unity through the town for the big Panthers and Lions faceoff.  It’s being called “The Big Cat Clash”.

There’s even a trophy.  Anyway the coaches and captains are supposed to act like they get along so they do.  Meanwhile the Riggins brothers are far from being comic relief this week.

They meet with a lawyer who tells them that if they plead guilty he can get other charges like tax evasion dropped and they could wind up with 1-5 years.  This is pretty bad timing since Billy just had a child.

Another week another Friday Night Lights.  This week’s episode is called Injury List.  It features a surprise return of Matt Saracen and since the season is almost over all of our storylines are coming to a head.  A lot goes on in this episode.  Also for the first time ever I’m gonna try to bring you some video in this one.

Well I am incredibly sorry it took me over a week to get this recap up.  I got real busy and for that I apologize.  I’ll have the recap of this week’s episode very soon.  But first, oh man was this a good episode.  Everything you could want and more.

Just like the old days

This episode is Season One good.  Seriously.  As soon as you can watch this, do it.  This is quality television.  ”Stay” is an appropriate title for this episode because you’ll be shouting it at your television, but more on that later.  Like most FNL episodes there’s a lot going on but this week they were a little more focused on a few particular plots.

Friday Night Lights Season 4, episode 4, “A Sort of Homecoming”, is definitely one of the better episodes this season so far.  Pretty much most of my complaints from earlier episodes have been dealt with.  But it’s not perfect.

So Coach Taylor’s plot this episode is that he is going to hold a pep rally for the Lions.  This like everything else he’s tried to do for the team turns out to be much harder than it should be.  Coach’s plot really takes a backseat though.  A lot of this episode is dedicated to our newer characters.  Oh also everyone hates Tami because she had that kid transferred.

Panther Hater

Speaking of transfer kid (Luke), he’s still not getting along with Juvie.  They get in a fight on the field and then Juvie steals his wallet.  Cause that’s what Juvie does.  Later on in the episode Luke is driving around with the Panthers and JD and they see Juvie walking along the side of the road so they all get out and jump him but it’s really just Juvie and Luke fighting.  The cops come and arrest the two of them.  By the way it was interesting that they took quite a bit of care to show that one of the Panthers was black so as to not make the entire scene a big hate crime, which really it was.  So Luke is white and he’s fine to get out of jail, but Juvie is black and also is Juvie so the cops tell Coach he’s going to Juvie for reals.  Coach makes Juvie and Luke change their story and manages to get Juvie out.  He then leaves the two of them stranded in the middle of nowhere.  They suddenly work everything out and Juvie somehow has Luke’s wallet on him at that exact moment and gives it back to him.
