What do they say about all good things? They must come to an end, yeah? Well, Friday Night Lights is a phenomenal series, but it never really caught on in the ratings, so it was honestly lucky to last as long as it did. Five seasons is nothing to be disappointed about. I know it's been said before, but the ability to completely overhaul the cast without skipping a beat is one of the show's surprising strengths. Really only two characters from the first season are present for the whole of season five- Mr. and Mrs. Coach, front and center on that DVD case. Julie's missing for a good portion of the season, and I have no idea why Saracen and Riggins are on the cover- their roles are barely bigger than cameos. Billy and Mindy Riggins, Mr. and Mrs. Howard, and even Hastings are bigger characters this season. And why does Buddy Garrity never get any love for the DVD covers? Alright, I'm rambling. It's hard to say much about this show that I haven't already said in my messy rapid-fire posts back in February. It ended very appropriately- not everything is resolved, and some storylines seemed a bit rushed (Vince's sudden forgiving of his father, Luke getting back together with Becky) but overall a satisfying conclusion. Did I cry? Maybe a little bit.
