Watching Mindy Collette and Billy Riggins plan their wedding was always an amusing side plot on this season of Friday Night Lights. Some of you even said it could be the best of all of this year's TV engagements (that bar proposal is pretty hard to beat).
So, as wedding season continues here on Sugar, I wanted to share a couple of my favorite scenes from Billy and Mindy's planning process.

Facing my first Friday in months without Friday Night Lights is much easier knowing that we have a fourth and fifth season coming our way. The season finale set up many potentially compelling storylines for the next couple of years, and all week, I've been daydreaming about some of the developments I'd like to see. If you haven't seen the finale yet, beware of spoilers ahead when you read more

This season's final episode of Friday Night Lights is all about the seniors. It's five months after the football season, and college decisions are in, setting many of our Panthers and Panther faithful on new paths. Meanwhile, Coach's contract comes up for renewal, which means he's once again staring down Joe McCoy and his merry band of moneyed followers.

Thank goodness we already know that Friday Night Lights has been renewed. Otherwise I'm not sure my heart could take watching tonight's season finale. You'll see what I mean when you watch the promo below — I practically needed a tissue and nobody even says anything.

Will the Dillon Panthers ever get to go to State under happy circumstances? The team heads off to the biggest football game of this year on this week's Friday Night Lights, but much like last time, there are dark clouds hanging over the whole experience. Last time it was Coach's decision to leave for TMU; this time it's JD's anger in the aftermath of his father's outburst.

I imagine winning the Texas state football championship feels a little like this: Friday Night Lights has been renewed for two more 13-episode seasons. And it didn't take any mini-footballs or eye drops this year — just a unique partnership between DirecTV and NBC and a sense that FNL is worth keeping around.
Under the deal, DirecTV will again get the first crack at showing the episodes, with NBC airing them later in the season.

On this week's Friday Night Lights, the Panthers face their toughest football challenge of the season. That puts even more pressure on JD, who's continuing to defy his father by seeing (or at least texting) Madison. Meanwhile, Lyla remains in her funk over her magical disappearing college money, and Matt's forced to take a hard look at how much he can really do as his grandma's caretaker.

Have you ever read The Giving Tree? This week's Friday Night Lights made me want to go dig out my old copy, as Landry delivers one of the sweetest/saddest monologues I've ever heard on the topic. OK, it's one of the only Giving Tree-related monologues I've heard, but still!

On this week's Friday Night Lights, the Panthers move into the playoffs and face the pressures of winning or having the season end right then. Lyla does some bonding with an unlikely character, and Matt's grandma and mom continue their standoff. And things really come to a head with Tyra and Cash, culminating in a late-night trip to Dallas.
