A review on tonight's episode:

Quote:

Friday Night Delights

If you only watch one episode of Friday Night Lights, tonight’s episode (9 p.m. on NBC) is the one to watch.

It’s Jason Street’s (Scott Porter) final episode and his story arc is so compelling that at the end of the hour I found myself wishing that we could have spin-off that would follow Jason on his new adventure.(It could air right after the series about Smash's life in college). It’s a testament to Porter’s fantastic range as an actor that he is so utterly believable as a determined man who must navigate a new future for himself. As a viewer, I believed that Jason could make just about anything happen for himself. There’s a moment in tonight’s episode where a character tells Jason, "there’s no one else like you man."

And it’s so true. There’s really isn’t a character on TV like Jason Street and I’m hoping someone snatches Scott Porter right up because I will watch whatever show he’s in.

Now let’s talk about Tim Riggins. Although the episode is about Street’s journey, Taylor Kitsch also shines. The friendship between Riggins and Street is a rarity for TV. It's a male camaraderie that isn't a bromance but rather based on a lifetime of experiences. The hour allows Kitsch to be funny (wait to you hear him talk about the musical Gypsy), loyal and I’m telling you right now you are going to need tissues for the final scene.

It’s an episode about the power of believing in yourself, triumphing over adversity and the friends who stay with you no matter what. I think it’s one of the best hours of television I’ve seen and I don’t want you to miss it?

I love this episode, at the same time hate that it ended with Street's departure and Tim/Jason saying their goodbyes

In the above article, the writer summed up their friendship real well.

I love this episode

So much amazing Tim/Jason scenes

It's definitely one of my fave, because of T/J scenes. Also Eric/Tami's house storyline was lovely.

Is that the episode where MJ have a dinner with ET?

I posetd lots of reviews on the episode, concerning T/J on the news thread.

I'm guessing Scott will write the blog for this episodes. Cant' wait to read it.

Yes, this was the MJ/Taylors dinner episode.

T/J really is the most realistic male relationship on tv. Love Jason bringing it back around with Tim's words from the pilot at their goodbye.

Then it's the episode where Julie tells Matt to "Shut up" when they were having dinner

She is like the younger version of Tami. I love how she was cheering for Matt and helping him out in convincing Eric.

ITA, Molly. Their friendship is one of the best male friendships and in general one of the best friendships on TV. I love it. Too many great stuff about it. And it's why their goodbye scene was really, really sad.

I love Tim/Jason so much and thought Taylor was amazing in their final goodbye scene. I'm going to miss that friendship like nothing else.

I love the Taylors as well. Just such a genuine relationship that is so interesting and relatable. I wish my parents had been like them.
