Televisionary’s Jace Lacob Reviews 5.01 “Expectations”

Posted by Kaitlin with No Comments

“I’m going to miss this.” – Eric Taylor

Those words, spoken by Kyle Chandler’s Eric Taylor in the season premiere of Friday Night Lights(”Expectations”), written by David Hudgins and directed by Michael Waxman, are said as he looks over at the minor squabble developing between wife Tami (Connie Britton) and daughter Julie (Aimee Teegarden). But that simple sentence, offered in a sweet and rather sad tone, might as well encapsulate the overall feeling of the audience: we’re going to miss this too.

Even though the “this” in question might be yet flare-up of adolescence angst from Julie Taylor. But it’s the fact that the Taylors are together, engaged in the regular rigors of daily life, that the entire declarative statement takes on bigger meaning. Change is coming for the Taylors, with Julie heading off the school. Their family is once again being split up and those breakfasts, those arguments, those stolen moments are soon to be a thing of the past.
