I never got a chance to comment on the season premiere, so let me say now, Screampillr, so glad you're back to recap season 2 (didn't you lose an "a" from your name? Can we buy you a vowel?)

I also was a little concerned about the murder plot, but I can also see how teenagers can operate with blinders on and not see future consequences of their actions. After seeing this episode, I'm feeling ok that the plot line will play itself out in character with the tone of the rest of the show.

I'll second your thoughts on Julie's character: she's impulsive and self-absorbed and it ain't pretty to watch most of the time, but it's a fair portrayal of what many of us were like at that age.

Anyone else think the hot Latina nurse is going to make a man of our boy Matt?

Awesome show, and equally awesome recap, SP!

Too many things to comment on, so I'll just pick one.

Grandma with the tiara scene was an absolute scream!

Keep it coming, FNL!

I am glad to hear that you loved Pierce on 24 as well. I was so excited to see him.

It was interesting to see the difference in how he carried himself in this role as opposed to the one on 24. I almost didn't recognize him for a minute, because of the drastic change in demanor!

Way to go Pierce/Landry's Dad! Way to act!

Another fine recap!

I'm also getting more comfortable with the murder plot. In fact, most of the story lines felt better. I don't know if that is because the writer's are getting more comfortable, or us trusting that they do, in fact, know what they are doing. (We've all had our hearts broken by shows that lost their mojo in the off season - darn you, Remington Steel!)

I'm not a big fan of the murder storyline but maybe that's the plot device the writers are using to make it believable that Tyra would fall in love with Landry. Kind of a messy way to do it.....but I wasn't really comfortable with the racism storyline last season and the way they dealt with that was beautiful. I think that's the episode that I became a full-fledged FNL fan! Whatever happened to Coach Mack anyway?

OMGoodness - I LOVE YOUR RECAPS!! Love love love them! That said - can I die of laughter again from "Community Pool of Sin and Amniotic Fluid" . hahaha.. and Miss Dementia 2007. Hahaha.

Okay, so, I'm totally not feeling the murder thing either. Actually, I kept speaking to the tv that night saying "No, they didn't do that. They didn't go there. Cmon, they didn't write that." But, they did.

I want to marry Matt Saracen. ASAP.

Thanks for such fantastic recaps. : )

As a self diagnosed TV addict, I am a huge fan of dragging my enjoyment of a particular show out by reading recaps. In my search for the best recappers out there, you, Screampillr, are in my top two....I can't even tell you how many times I have (painfully) read a recap of some show I love only to be sorely dissapointed with the inane play by plays... "then this happened....then he said this....blah blah blah"

That being said, top notch recappers that write with just the right amount of snark, personal perspective, and obscure entertainment references are hard to come by....

So, Screampillr, I heart you and your screencaps very much.

I was feeling this episode a lot more too....
My favorite parts....
Grandma Saracens tiara and
your Lila screencap...i was howling..."Christ in my windshield wiper fluid.." indeed.

And for the record, I vote that The Swede is both B and C.... "a poor man's Adrian Grenier" AND "Ikea-like in his blandness and affordability"

Keep rocking the recap Sreampillr....looking forward to this season with you!

Long time reader, first time poster, I love this show, thanks for your hilarious recaps. Just wanted to let you know someone else watched FNL!

I'm so over Julie. Her huge lips and knockers are distracting and her acting is getting worse by the ep. Someone needs to tell her to turn down the facial tics and quit trying so hard! Oh, and be a nicer daughter and girlfriend. (Wait that's the writing, but I think her acting is even killing that, which is hard to do on this show... hail to the writers!!)
