Dear James, Daniel and Emily,
The season is over. And the epilogue episode was good, with a nice little twist that I think carries a lot of potential for next season. There were a lot of teary farewells, and some other twists that weren't handled so well. Overall it was good, with lot's to think about and look forward to.
The big twist, which was kind of foreseen, was Joe McCoy using his money and connections to stab a large knife in Eric's back. Forcing his bought and paid for QB tutor into the head coaching job, in place of Eric. Eric has the option (and I am certain he will take it) to take over the football position at the newly reformed East Dillon High. Which sets up all kinds of subplots about rivalry with the McCoy driven Dillon High.
Of the changing relationships the one I thought that was handled best was between Landry and Tyra. His speech to end their argument where he really laid it out for her that he believes in her, and it is time for her to stop feeling sorry and believe in herself. It was so well done, and so dead on for the two characters that I definitely felt more than a little teary eyed.
The twist I didn't like was Matt apparently forsaking his goal of Art School and all that means for his future, in exchange for becoming a full time caretaker for his grandmother. His heart was in the right place, but that is one time when you just want him to not lead with his heart and realize that doing that will help no one in the long run, not him, not his grandmother, not Julie, not anyone. But Eric wasn't around to help him realize the truth.
I am so happy the show will be back next year, even if I have to wait until January to watch it. And I am already full of anticipation about what could happen. What sort of cast will they add as the poor struggling East Dillon team? And will we see a few mid-season departures a la Smash and Street?
