I don't know anyone who watches Friday Night Lights that doesn't love it. This season finale felt like a 90210 finale when they graduated from high school. The episode attempted to do way too much with all of the main story lines as opposed spreading it out over a few episodes. It was probably done for the fans in case there is no renewal, but it sacrificed the episode with an abundance of sentimentality, was totally predictable, and completely failed in the fresh ideas department. Regardless how a regular viewer feels about the episode, one would rather have the episode than not. I just believe the show sacrificed its usual superior writing standards.
