corianderstem said:No idea about Smash's bipolar girlfriend. I'm a little peeved she just disappeared without even a mention. But like I said, we've had very little Smash this season so far.
I really liked last night's episode. The ending pissed me off, but only because I hate Julie so much. It's all her fault! And of course she won't remember what happened tomorrow to clear things up. Whatever, you whiny little brat!
I don't like the storyline with The Saracen and his mom's caretaker. That's just weird.

Matt's dad came back from Iraq and things were kind of tense. Then his dad left again (back overseas, maybe?) and wanted to put his mom into a home. I don't remember the exact chain of events, but long story short, his dad is gone again and they have this home care worker taking care of Matt's grandma.
There was some sexual tension, and now they seem to be together, although I'm not sure how together they are, like if they're just kind of making out now and again, or if they're bumping uglies.
So far, her character is kind of nondescript, so I'm not sure where they're going with it. While I'm glad Matt's not moping over Julie, I don't like this option.
Oh, and Julie had dumped Matt at the beginning of the season. She tried to play it off as "I don't want to end up like my parents, marrying the football guy," but really she had a crush on a lifeguard she worked with, and of course he turned out to be a bonehead. When she tried to go crawling back to Matt, he basically called her on her shit and turned her down. It was glorious.
Oh, and Coach Taylor called Matt "The Saracen" at one point when talking to Julie, which I completely loved.
I also loved Landry using the term "asshat" in the cafeteria scene last night. NICE.
Does 'Friday Night Lights' have a future off NBC?
Feb 7, 2008, 06:33 PM | by Lynette Rice
NBC has yet to decide whether to order any more episodes of Friday Night Lights this season but that may not mean the end of the critically-adored drama. A source close to the series confirmed that Universal is considering whether to shop the Kyle Chandler starrer to another network rather than cancel it outright. The source cautioned, however, that NBC hasn't closed the door on the show just yet. In fact, one scenario making the rounds is a shared window for FNL with one of NBC's sister cable networks.
While struggling in the ratings (FNL has only attracted an average 6.1 million viewers this season and typically finishes third in its timeslot), the show is a huge favorite among TV critics and even beloved by many executives at competing networks because of its multi-generational themes. The drama has also netted an Emmy for casting and a Peabody Award.
FNL has already produced 15 episodes for this season, the last of which will air Feb. 8.
Should the writers' strike end by Feb. 15, the show's writers could complete the final arc of the season in five or six episodes if NBC gives it the greenlight, according to executive producer Jason Katims. As of right now, Katims has no plans to write the final episode as a series finale. "I would do it as a cliffhanger and leave things open-ended unless of course we were told that the show was ending," he says. "But I doubt that would be the case because if they bring the show back to do more episodes this season, they’re also going to be hoping that the show returns for a third season."
