Clear eyes, full hearts

I've been dragging my feet about watching Friday Night Lights despite many f-listers' love for it and its critical acclaim, mostly because football makes absolutely no sense to me as a sport. But the show has been on my 'maybe I'll watch it' list for a while, and since the S1 DVDs were just sitting there at the library yesterday I thought I'd give it a go (and then tried to convince my sister to watch it with me, even though football is even more inscrutable to her).

We have watched the first four episodes so far, and I'm not exactly hooked yet, but I'm more than willing to finish out the first season, at least. Sister may not make it that far; she says there is too much football. I could see myself getting invested, though, possibly because I may be in love with Matt Saracen.

Meep.
