So one week after starting Friday Night Lights, I'm now halfway into Season 3. And a bunch of main characters are starting to be phased out as they graduate high school.
If you haven't gotten into FNL yet, watch the pilot already. You will be hooked.
So halfway into Season 3, Jason Street, one of the show's main characters from the very beginning, moves out of Texas.
He is, I think, one of the the most ground-breaking, heartbreaking, and inspirational characters I've ever seen on television; and it is his story arc (he's a former star quarterback who shatters his spine and becomes a quadriplegic) and his interactions with all the other characters that make FNL such a special show.
Scott Porter does such an incredible job playing Jason Street that last night I was re-watching the pilot (yes I am obsessed) and I found myself wondering if Jason or his parents or Lyla ever go back and wistfully re-watch the pilot or if it is just too much for them to handle, having to relive those last few beautiful moments before their lives changed forever.
Even though I was never a star athlete or anything close to it, I did spend a small part of last year in a wheelchair, and because of this, I feel like I identify with Jason and his struggle to come to terms with the fact that his life might never be exactly the same as it was. (Connie laughed at me the another night and said, "You are NOT Jason Street.")
Whatever.
I. Am. Jason Street.
...................................
But now, Jason has left Texas to make a name and life for himself out in the real world.
Good luck out there 6!!!
Texas Forever!!!!!!
