I am – Hercules!!

“Up until two years ago
I had enough hate in my heart
to start a fricking car!!”

Last week Lyla Garrity had to line her toilet seat with coffee filters just before Tim Riggins’ older brother nearly peed on her. Landry had to get tough with Tyra about her college essay.

“Friday Night Lights” grows more rock & roll with each passing installment.

On other fronts, The Taylors called in child protective services for the new QB1. Matt’s mom got involved in her boy’s new career path. And Riggins left his cleats on the playing field of Texas Memorial Stadium.

What an episode!

Tonight the 3rd season finale hits DirecTV’s channel 101. Friday the 3rd season premiere hits NBC. Its performance during the broadcast run will determine whether it gets a fourth season.

DirecTV says of the season (and perhaps series) finale:

Five months later, Coach Taylor’s contract is up for review on Billy and Mindy’s wedding day. Tyra grow anxious about her waitlist status. Matt leaves Grandma Saracen and Julie behind to attend college. Tim and Lyla question their future together.

9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT. Wednesday. DirecTV.
9 p.m. Friday. NBC.

(By the way, DirecTV 101 appears to be satcasting at 8 p.m. the pilot for Diablo Cody’s quite entertaining multiple-personality sitcom “The United States of Tara,” which doesn’t hit Showtime till Sunday.)
