Friday Night Lights...

So, decided to take a breather today and watched the Friday Night Lights marathon on Bravo - only missed two episodes (most of the pilot that started at 9am, due to the fact that I slept late and got out of the shower by 9:45) and the episode at 3pm (took a walk - can only take so much tv in one offing. And no, I couldn't tape it or Tivo it since don't have that capability.)

When I told Wales I was going to do this the other day, her response was: "I thought you didn't like that show." My reply:"Well to be fair haven't given it a chance, and it's not the sort of show you can just jump in on. Very serialized."

The serialized bit is true. It's easier to pick up the thread in 24, Lost, or Grey's Anatomy than it is in this thing. You can't jump into it easily - it would be like jumping into the middle of a book or walking into a movie half-way through - granted you can do this with some books and movies (comic books come to mind) but not literary ones. And I have to say, upon seeing the whole thing now and not just fifteen minutes here and there - the series is not at all what I expected.
