Excellent.
There was nothing wrong this week. things were handled very well with every story line. The Taylor's were amazing with handling the Julie/Matt situation. Landry was awesome for finally standing up to Tyra, and Julie agreeing with Landry. The Garrity drama was good... and the McCoys were interesting.
this was just a solid, solid episode for FNL.

I didn't realize that Janine Turner was on the show now.
Above Average.
All was good here. The actor who plays Buddy always brings it to the table and brings a sense of realism (like most of the actors into his show) into Buddy. You despise him but can feel sorry for him at the same time. The Tami/Julie discussion was good also. I'm glad Landry stood up to Tyra too and I only hope he doesn't go back to her. He deserves better.

I missed it because I was watching BSG. What happened to Eric? I saw a synopsis and it said Eric learns a secret.
He caught Julie in bed with Matt and Matt's house.
Wow! Thanks! I didnt realize BSG was on again at midnight so I should have watched Friday Night Lights instead. I'm sorry I missed it.
The scene when coach catches Julie and Matt was done great.. cutting to the outside and just having voice. I just cracked up imagining the awkwardness going on inside.
A fathers nightmare (daughters too).

Not to mention Matt's nightmare. He must have though Coach was going to kill him. Chandler does manage to get that "Don't mess with me" vibe off very well.
Actually he gives off the "perpetually pissed off" vibe ALL the time. I don't know what the actor is like as a person, gut Good Lord his character is one of the most sour individuals on a week in and week out basis that I think I've ever seen in TV.
Now granted in this episode he had good reason to be pissed off, but does the man ever smile?

He is a bit grumpy but Eric Taylor kicks ass!
Coach does get happy... it's actually one of the best parts of the show when he becomes genuinely happy... If you want to see him happy, look at him when his wife told him she was pregnant. Or him and Julie playing ping-pong... or him and Tim playing ping-pong...
in interviews he (eric chandler) seems fine and rather up-beat...

Watched it yesterday, loved the whole episode...made me wonder how many times they would name drop the Landing Strip in one episode, though. My roommate and I both laughed at the amount of damage done to the local strip club.
If my dad had walked in on one of my sisters, a shotgun would have been involved after he went back out to the truck, that's for damn sure.
As for Eric Chandler, he seems like a nice enough guy out of character - met him briefly when I was an extra for 'Underdogs'. Said mornin' to him when he walked his dog past the wardrobe trailer, he said hello back, gave a little nod...and I think I may have seen him smile a couple of times durin' the day, but the day lasted from eight that mornin' to eleven that night.

I remember him from the tv series "Homefront" back in 1991, he played the lead character, a WW2 vet returning from overseas. That was a favorite series of mine at the time. Excellently done, good story line and cast but could not draw an audience. It folded up after the third season...
sounds like a description I'd write for FNL

The first thing I saw Chandler in was as a recurring character on Tour of Duty, where he went blind because of an explosion. Then they had an episode that showed a few of the characters when their tours were up and went home, and his family was in denial about him being permanently blind.
