I am addicted to this show. I'm dowloading the first four episodes, which I have missed. I love the friendship between Smash and Matt. I love the awkwardness between Matt and Coach's daughter. The triangle between Jason/Lyla/Tim is intriguing and somewhat heartbreaking. You feel bad for all three...even though I sometimes find Lyla annoying. But what I'm interested the most in is the relationship/brotherhood of Tim and his older brother. I like that Tim's older brother has taken on the role of the father. What I like is that all the teenagers act like real teens...especially Matt and Smash.

I had originally wanted to watch this show since the very beginning, but everytime it'd come on, something would distract me and I just screw it. But then I heard about the marathon on Bravo today and I distinctly remembered being in the EXACT same situation with "The OC" three years ago. FX aired an every-episode marathon one Saturday and I became hooked, and today it happened all over again.

I really *really* enjoyed the show. I like how we're not lead to believe that there are only four members on this football team - the others who are not regulars are rotated in and out like recurring characters. And I like that they pretty much developed the homelives of all of the main characters. You get to see the interactions that they have with each other and the other important people in their lives who aren't major characters. I'm especially talking about the Williams and Saracen families. And I also like how it doesn't skew in one direction towards focus; every character receives some sort of main focus.

I do have one thing to say though. They need to kill off [!@#$%^&*] Lyla before the season is over because she is THE most stereotypical character on the entire show and just doesn't fit in, IMO. Sure, she's a major part of the show, but they just need to send her away or kill her off or something. All of the other characters are fine, but she rubs me the wrong way.

Great episode last night, I think. I felt so bad for Saracen...his father seems to be a really f*cked up individual. Poor Saracen just wanted to make him proud...and poor Grandma too...

Lyla = A FILTHY SLUT! She screwed around with Riggins, who just evokes the image of high school manslut, and now she just wants to hop on Jason's ding-dong? Whore. Complete whore. Jason should get with Tyra. She's much more likeable.

Nice little background story with Riggins and Landry. I had to LOL at Landry's band's performance. That was so surreal [!@#$%^&*]! I like that Tammi is so concerned for the welfare of the students. That's nice, because a lotta guidance counselors don't take the time to look at individual grades to make sure they're consistant/decent.

The previews for next week look explosive! Was that Coach Taylor losing his damn mind!?

    • I have a very different view of Dano. For one thing, she like me, loves her little dogs. Another thing, of course she is effusive, outgoing but she is also very vulnerable & she used to have her Frank, her mother & Vivian who officially was her publicist (I think) but she was so much more. Now, they are all gone. Well, except for her always having a pair of her little dogs. But, if I were going to think in your terms, what I would think is "cool aunt". Because this lady is really one cool dame. Here is one of my favorite views of her https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGecq8rJS4w/

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170.

    • I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.
