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 was relieved to get a respite from the heavy John/Bo material today. Like previously mentioned, it really let us come up for air and breathe a bit, and good beats regarding John were still in play to keep that thoroughline going.  Peter Reckell was fantastic on yesterday's episode. I was worried Bo would be told about Victor and Doug off-screen, so though my heart was fully breaking for him, I'm really happy we got to see him react to their passings. How strange that both his fathers died in a plane crash, I'm surprised they didn't have a line about it, but maybe it would have been to clunky to include. Cat/Tate were a fresh interaction. Why would she "feel" like she knows Sami. It reminded me of when Carrie "felt" like she knew EJ when he first came to town as EJ Wells, where he should have turned out to be a long lost Tony/Anna kid, but then all the mess we got happened instead. With that and her mysterious call, colour me intrigued. I am going to confess something I am almost ashamed to admit ... I like the Jack/Leo scene! However, in my defense, it got very genuine between them and those historical references used about Diana, Duke, and Leo's past with John were all very strong beats to play for me, and most importantly it Leo's responses were kept to a minimum. But by God, those pants he was wearing made him look deranged. Also, shout out to Melissa Reeves, who came back effortlessly yet again. I can't wait to see her confront Chad about letting Cat into his life. And SSH shouting "SKYDIVING" was hilarious.

       I also feel like we’ve honored her lately with the synopses that keep coming in! Just wish we had more clips! Maybe someday! 
    • Of course Donna somehow missed Laura Wright’s moles for 20 years.
    • Today's Lucky and Liz scenes were horrible. There really is no way to explain Lucky's character. Not that anyone cared though. It looked like everyone involved just gave up, and that JJ couldn't get out of there fast enough.  Also, why is Sonny on every single day? Most of his appearances are so pointless. Can they not rest the character, even for a few days?
    • I agree.  She has become ridiculous, and simply not a believable character.  She needs to tone it down, or get to jail as quickly as possible.   I completely agree.  A bit of an Upstairs, Downstairs vibe is really all BTG is missing.  
    • Aimless. That's a good way to put it. As far as killing Drew, I really want Porsha to do it, but they somehow get her off. 
    • They can't afford to use the hospital set -- that's what I'm guessing.  Poor Cole will probably die on Victoria's couch, and never be in the hospital.  Jeeze-Louise!!
