She's Back

My beloved Minka Kelly (the hottest celebrity going right now, Meadow included) returns tonight as the third season of "Friday Night Lights" begins on NBC.
In case you don't know this part two of one of the greatest experiments in TV history.
FNL was on the verge of cancellation because of bad ratings, despite critical acclaim. But DirecTV swooped in with a deal. It would split costs with NBC in exchange for the rights to air the entire season before the first episode ever aired on NBC.
So the season of FNL beginning tonight on NBC has already been aired to DirecTV subscribers who are asked not issue spoilers.

So I can't say ANYTHING about the fate of Smash Williams, the insane ending to the second-to-last episode (that could have been the perfect ending to the entire series), or the SHOCKING heel turn in the finale? Damn.

Best season ever.

On Simmons' podcast Peter Berg said he was hopeful the arrangement with DirecTV would allow for season 4 (although Lyla, Riggins, and Matt will have to be replaced)
