Katims To Paley Fest Crowd: Expect Word On FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS’ Third Season (With Or Without DirecTV) In 2-3 Weeks!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
“Friday Night Lights” shoots in Austin, but if you wanted to see its cast and creators Wednesday night you had to come to the Paley Fest at Hollywood’s Arclight. My pal, FNL fanatic and TV Guide columnist Mike Ausiello, got to moderate.
The series' third season is in doubt, but there are rumors DirecTV might pick up FNL for an exclusive window on its 101 Channel. (If the deal could be worked out, NBC would probably get to air episodes subsequent to DirecTV's exclusive satcasts.)
Here’s new AICN spy “DefiniTV” with a report on the Paley event:
Hi Herc, DefiniTV here.
The Friday Night Lights panel at Paley Fest was moderated by Michael Ausiello from TV Guide, and an avid FNL fan himself. In attendance were Jason Katims and Jeffrey Reiner, Executive Producers. Connie Britton, Minka Kelly, Aimee Teegarden and Adrianne Palicki all looked gorgeous in there dresses, and Scott Porter and Zach Gilford looked lucky to be stuck in between them. Kyle Chandler could not make it back in time from a Canadian shoot (apologies given via Connie Britton). Gaius Charles, Jesse Plemons, and Taylor Kitsch were not there, much to every woman's heartbreak.
The audience was treated to a big screen presentation of "Leave No One Behind", Episode 14 of Season 2 (the penultimate episode to have aired). Then the moderator and panelists took to the stage to begin the discussion.
Michael Ausiello tackled the question on everyone's mind, "the elephant in the room": will there be a season 3? As Ausiello put it in his introduction, "Personally, this NBC/DirectTV deal better go through."
Jason Katims was tight lipped, saying discussions were ongoing, and even though DirectTV was getting most of the attention, other people had expressed interest. He suggested an answer would arrive in 2-3 weeks, because that was when the writer's would need to start breaking stories.
Ausiello next asked how the Writer's Strike affected the season. Katims said Episode 15 (the last one to air) was never written as a season finale. Even though a number of storylines found some resolution, the season had another major arc to go before the season could be over. Katims even went so far as to suggest the rest of the season would have included the amount of football which had been lacking thus far.
The other elephant in the room was negative reaction to Tyra-Landry's murder storyline. Ausiello went straight into it. Katims expressed his desire to lay the whole issue to bed, but defended the idea saying it was something the writers "were actually trying to do in a different
incarnation last season" and that it was only part of an effort to bring Tyra and Landry together. Even Adrianne Palicki stood up for the plot, saying she felt resentment on behalf of her character for what the rapist had done to her, and that she appreciated the opportunity to
develop such a relationship with Jesse Plemons character, one which may not have been possible considering their character's different places in the show.
Much love and affection was shown for Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton's portrayal of marriage between Coach and Mrs. Taylor. Scott Porter, along with the other young members of the cast, said Chandler and Britton were
never parental figures on set, but rather actors to be admired for their realism on camera. Britton attributed the realism of the television marriage to her and Chandler's shared vision "of how [they] wanted to establish the marriage." Katims described them as protective of the
fictional marriage, to which Britton admitted to demanding that neither character ever be written into an affair. Jeffrey Reiner gave Britton and Chandler more credit by saying their close working relationship off camera was what brought them so close together in each scene. Britton
said it was true, since she shared coffee with Chandler every morning and read their each script together. Although apparently Chandler can get on her nerves time to time, as married couples are known to do.
Ausiello also asked Aimee Teegarden, the third speaking member of the Taylor household, why her character was being such a "brat" this season. Teegarden said she appreciated all the things teenagers in her situation have to deal with. "Having something smaller and cute and adorable to
compete with. Not that I'm not cute and adorable. What was the question?"
Porter and Kelly talked about the story arc in Mexico. Kelly admitted to some trepidation over the complex relationship between Jason Street, Lyla Garrity and Tim Riggins but was pleased with how well everything turned out. She concluded that being stuck kissing both Porter and Kitsch "was awesome."
Gilford was asked about his scene with Kyle Chandler throwing him into a shower. His response, aside from "It was cold" was: "They shot it at good angles, and Kyle was there for me ..."
Ausiello was adamant on the cast and crew's behalf that they deserved an Emmy Award, to which Britton corrected him saying they had won a Casting Emmy. Gilford stepped forward saying all the actors on the series were excellent, including locals who were not necessarily actors before hand. Reminiscing about the strip club scene in the episode we had watched: "I was, 'So is this what you do?' and it turns out she has a MFA in Acting."
When asked about what it was like working away from Hollywood, everyone had only good things to say. They credit their bond as a cast to the fact that they were all in a new town together. Britton in particular said "There's just something about Texas." Palicki also said shooting in
Austin was awesome because it is one of the greatest cities, in a range of either the country or the world but I can't remember.
The cast and crew were asked about their response to the photography style, and the producers said it was drastically different from standard Hollywood protocol. Gilford tried comparing the difference between what they do and what the rest of TV does as coming back to America from the Peace Core. "Maybe that was a really bad analogy?" Blocking is very loose, and the actors and directors feel comfortable that the scripts are strong enough to carry a scene no matter what the blocking. Britton said, "Half the time we don't even know where the cameras are." Porter
said, "We call them snipers."
The first on-line user submitted question was directed mainly towards the women: "What is it like working with Taylor Kitsch? He is so hot." Gilford immediately responded, "It's really kind of distracting." The women seem to agree the hardest part is dealing with Kitsch's inability to keep a straight face in any scene. They also agree his laugh is hard to take seriously, and then do impressions of it. Jason Katims confirms
Kitsch's role in the next Wolverine film would not interfere with shooting Season 3, if they are picked up.
And finally before the Audience Q&A, Porter is asked to re-enact "Pop Goes My Heart" from Music & Lyrics, including the Motorcycle Hip-Thrust.
The first question from the audience is a two-parter about the de-emphasis of football in Season 2, and how ratings affects cast members. Katims admits "I think we [de-emphasized] it too much and if we come back I would like to emphasize it in the third season." Britton says ratings numbers suck "because everywhere you go people love the
show, so it's hard to know who's not watching it." Porter steps up and says it's better to focus on producing a quality show and at the end of the day being satisfied with what they've done. Britton and the cast agree that was a more well-put answer.
Katims says he was consistently impressed with Kitsch's development of Tim Riggins in Season 1, and equally impressed with the rest of the cast. After watching the footage from each episode, the writers felt compelled to give them heavier and heavier material.
Peter Berg's role in the last episode was a treat for everyone, considering his original role as creator of the show. Katims suggests Berg had become such a fan of the show and of Britton and Chandler's performance, that he was intimidated at first. Reiner loved Berg's cowboy hat, and Britton claims all of Chandler's reactions in the
episode were real, "100% authentic" because of Berg's desire to do something different each take.
Much attention was given to Explosions in the Sky, to which Jason Katims was very grateful for their musical contribution.
Porter also recalled when Berg sat all of the younger cast members down and said "I don't know how long you're going to be around." With regards to how long high school characters would stay on the show after graduation, no one was going to claim to know. Kelly and Palicki even asked whether or not their character's were seniors yet or not.
The final question was about how the show tackled race relations. Katims said it was like so much else in the show, trying to be as true and authentic to modern life as possible. He also gave Berg credit for wanting to include those themes from the book which he was not able to fit into the movie.
Before the panel was dispersed, Porter took a moment to thank all of the fans for their contributions, in particular donations to charity for paraplegic therapy and the SaveFNL footballs which could be redistributed to hospital wards. With that, everyone said thank you, and
tried to sign as many autographs as possible, considering it was a capacity crowd.
Another attendee reports that, as FNL attendees exited, fans were already lined up hoping to snag stand-by tickets for the next night's "Buffy" reunion event!

i plan on buying the DVD sets sometime this year, it's a fantastic show, and it would be a crying shame if a 3rd season wasn't made.
-
shit, don't buy stuff...this is 2008, torrent that shit. i've got HD quality season 1 and 2 already.
-
occassionally you actually feel obligated to buy the DVD's instead of shamelessly downloading them...
-
occassionally you get screwed and spat on, so shamelessly downloading them don't feel so bad sometimes.
-
Clear eyes, strong hearts, can't Lose!
-
agreed!
-
i could care less about the film/tv/music industry as a whole and them making money. they don't really value the audience, so i don't value giving them my $$. :) thanks, now shut up.
-
Why would airing the episodes on their second run be more appealing to NBC, if it would obviously get even lower ratings that way?
-
sorry to nitpick but ya know it's kindaaa what we do around here
love this show with all my heart and my peepee, there better be a season 3 and more after that!
And buy the damn show, because if you don't have a nielson cable box or whatever, the main way to show love for the show is to buy the DVD's plus season 1 was cheap as hell like $20-25, I got it for myself and for my parents who instantly fell in love with the show -
the show, waaay too many times in that last post...fuck
-
Thanks to people like you, we lose many good shows. You need to stick by shows you like by purchasing the dvds, and watching when they air. I hope what is happening in Japan with them shutting down people's internet service for downloading illegal files happens here. I would love to see everyone's faces when they lose their internet privileges.
-
Top 3 show on TV.
-
is that it didn't feel as real as season 1. They were much braver the first year. One example: They let Tim Riggins be racist, to side with the reacist coach. That's exactly how a stupid Texas kid (a drunk at that) would react. That the little kid from the end of the previous season (where did that adorable child go?) softened the character was formulaic but still handled truthfully. This year we have Riggins the Hero! (yes, he stole from meth dealers, ohthatissodark) There were a lot of heroes in Season One. Simple heroics. But not from Riggins who is now a "hearthrob" and has turned into someone his character would have hated in Season One.
-
um, no.
-
um, yes
dickhead -
Great response.
-
again, no. i prefer others to spend their own money on the product (tv, movies, music, etc) and place it on torrents for me for free. you're a douche for not taking advantage of this wonderful service. in fact, i'd consider those who actually spend money on tv/movies/music/etc complete morons. however, to each their own. go drop your cash, i've already d/l'ed the episodes and will continue to do so.
-
Do you know how jobs are created or are you on welfare? To make money, you have to spend money. If you want to keep an industry, like the movie industry, going so others can reach their dreams to make movies, you purchase products you like. In time you will realize this.
-
I'm 29 and what's it really matter? I'm obviously smarter than you anyway. Shoe...i understand economics....but that's why there are idiot like you......to spend your money instead of getting it for free of torrents. Again, than you for 1. spending your money and keeping the economy going, and 2. for letting me torrent it for free. :)
-
It's like a soap with some scenes of football.
-
I take it then you are on welfare. If the economy isn't getting money, that means you won't get paid your food stamps, meaning you won't be able to buy anything. Japan is banning people from the internet if they get caught downloading illegal files. The US will follow, meaning you will lose your internet privileges.
-
To keep the economy going and keep us all employed, we must keep purchasing products. If we stop buying products, we all lose our jobs.
Those that put things like movies online are morons. They are probably workers for movie companies, and if they lose their jobs, they complain. You need to think before you do. -
Weird.
-
as per Paley center blog. However, futoncritic is live blogging for us saps that couldn't be there.ü
-
Nope, not on welfare...76k a year. i just choose to spend my $ on important things...like food, a nice vehicle, a nice house...not stupid shit like a tv show or movies....i'll d/l'ed those for freeeeeeeeeee via torrent. :)
-
Stupid shit, hmmm, considering it provides job to thousands and thousands of people. If you knew anything, you would know how bad it is to download things that provide people jobs.
-
it's not a issue of me "knowing anything".....it's that i just don't give a fuck. i understand why you feel the way you do and your reasons and rationale on it all.......but bottom line is i don't give a fuck about them or their jobs or their shows......as long as i can get it free off torrents, amen! :)
-
Shoe, I sympathize with you. Box, you have made it very clear that you don't care. Which is fine. But the point Shoe is trying to make is that if everyone downloaded for free, there would be no economy to sustain the programming that you are enjoying illegally.
The final equation goes like this: if everyone downloaded shows for free, and no one watched ad supported broadcast or streaming or no one paid directly for content, then there would be no content left to watch/download for free.
It is obvious nothing will change Box's attitude. Again, that's fine. But I have a strong sense that anyone who has ever really enjoyed at least one movie or television show in their lifetime can sympathize with wanting to support the industry that brought them that experience. -
Just got home from the bar and no Buffy goodness. Dis-ap-pointed!!
PS: Box is a cheap bastard. -
Gonna knock you right on the head.
-
Not only did I go to the panel, but afterwards at dinner Seth Green & SM
Geller sat down at the table next to us, so I got to chat with them, also.
