I was watching the season premiere of Friday Night Lights the other day and everytime Julie was with her parents all I could think of was that line from the Harry Potter Puppet Pals Wizard Angst. Geez Julie! Get a grip!So I liked the show for the most part. I'm not too sure about the Landry/Tyra story. OK, I know they are scared and all, but come on! Landry is probably one of the smartest kids around and his father is a police officer. And while Tyra's reputation might go against her, she'd already made out a police report about that guy. I can't see that anyone wouldn't believe them if they claimed self-defence. Yes, I know technically he had already walked away, but if they were going to lie and cover up something, why not that?The only good part about that story is seeing how good an actor Jesse Plemmons is. We knew he could be comical, but he rocked this dramatic stuff. I'm glad it appears they are going to be expanding his role. Heck he even gets a father. BTW, can't wait to see Glenn Morshower back on screen.I wonder how long before we see Eric back in Dillon permanently. Funny how he went to Buddy's to get away. Oh and Lyla's grace before dinner was hysterical.Something that is confusing me though is I thought Tim was a senior last year?

That's what they should rename Days of Our Lives because it seems like TPTB want to kill it.I've watched other soaps that have ended, but usually it seems like I stopped watching them before the ending was announced. Then I tuned in just to see how it would end. But with Days, I've been watching and can see why the show will probably end. It's awful! And the ratings and grumbling of the fans are testaments to this.What happened to romance? What happened to good storytelling? Heroes and heroines to root for? Love and adventure? Fighting toward something and getting the satisfying payoff in the end?Days has seemed to forget how to do this. Such a shame from a soap that has given some of the most iconic Supercouples in soap history. Bo & Hope. John & Marlena. Steve & Kayla. Doug & Julie. Shane & Kim. Jack & Jen. Sure, some characters and actors have moved on, forcing the show to go in a different direction, but the show still has 8 of these characters on canvas and the most exciting thing most of them have done recently is risk a paper cut reading love letters concerning the made up history of two characters we care nothing about.Instead of focusing on good stories, the show has now filled itself with trying to force the audience to accept a rapist and his victim as a rootable couple. Bringing on a younger set who I am guessing we are supposed to be more impressed by their looks rather than the story. Thinking that a romance between a man and his niece is acceptable because he was adopted. Maybe the genre of soaps are dying, but does Days have to make it such a painful process?
