Friday Night Lights

I need a break from FYP, so I'm going to blog a bit.

I've been using a TV show Friday Night Lights as my breaks/relaxation time during this busy period. And it's the best thing I've ever watched. Not that I should hype it up or anything, because to many people, it's going to be a pretty ordinary drama TV show. Based around a small town called Dillon and their strong community culture built up around their American Football team, the Dillion Panthers, the show follows primarily around the Taylor family. Coach Eric Taylor is the main star, trying to take the team to State Championship. But obviously some of the main players and their stories are also told. The drama tries to address real issues that are happening in America, such as drug use, racial issues, team spirit, believing in yourself, life in general etc.

So what's so good about it? I find it so inspiring and touching. I don't know if that's cause of the acting, the way they film it or what, but I have connected with so many of the characters, so easily. Their troubles also seem to remind me that things I get frustrated about are nothing compared to what's out there. Family and friends are the best thing in the world. The human conscience, the difference between heart and mind. It's sooo good.

When it comes down to it, it really is just another drama show. But I love it! Five seasons in total, although season 2 was chopped in half due to writer's strike at the time.

BTW, saw Thor yesterday with Amanda and Edward. It's very so so. Disappointed. And I had to pay extra to see it cause they cancelled the 2D session we were going to see.

teoh,
