We got a major podcast shout-out in this review. Thanks, Chris!

Well, in the land of Dillon where you can often have a big smile from all the wonderful things that happen, that was pretty depressing.

The character we hardly knew — affectionately known as “Angry Necklace Guy,” and later as Calvin — is dead. Vince had to watch his friend be shot to death and leave his body behind. (Quick note: You must go give a listen to the Friday Night Lights Fan Podcast that features an interview with Michael B. Jordan, who is playing Vince Howard.) But anyway, Vince, having been sucked back into this life he clearly wants no part of, all to take care of his mother, is part of a larger trend on the show: no one can seem to do the right thing.

That is, by no means, a reference to the abortion decision.

I’m more referring to Vince’s choice to roll back with Calvin and Co., Luke’s choice to hide his injury, Matt’s decision to wait weeks to call Julie, and the Riggins’ Bros. decision to get into the chop shop business. It’s all bad. This episode was really the culmination of all the bad.

Looks like we were right, former Panther fans! The showdown between Good and Evil East Dillon and West Dillon is exactly where this wildly satisfying season has been headed all along. And just like us fans, it’s all anybody wants to talk about — at least judging by the sample size of one call-in to Buddy Garrity’s two-week-old Spanish-language sports-radio talk show. Too bad a little thing called life keeps getting in the way: Instead of looking ahead to the big game (still a week away), our characters are stuck dealing with the fallout from some recent, difficult decisions. And things don’t look like they’re getting any easier.

While the relentlessly heavy drama of “Injury Report” might make it a little harder to make jokes (Did we mention that Buddy Garrity is on Spanish-language radio? Uh … ), that’s a price we’re happy to pay for a season that has given us paper cuts from thumbing through our thesaurus looking up synonyms for “consistently phenomenal.” There was little resolution this week aside from the status of Luke’s season and the wearing of Buddy’s Panther championship ring (Spoiler alert: They’re both over). Instead, as we barrel toward the finish line (and the chance to see someone — anyone — pop J.D. McCoy in his smug, Escalade-driving face), why don’t we break things down decision by decision?
