Absolutely.....even though I find that icon completely distracting. (Some web site ranked the top 100 sexiest guys on TV and TK was #50. I do not understand that at all.)
1. Three canon loves - S1 Tim Riggins. So beautiful. So damaged. *dreamy sigh* I just want to save him.
- Coach and Mrs. Coach - it is SO nice to see a functional, loving marriage on television.
- 'Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose' - I love this philosophy that if you go into something with the right attitude, give it everything you've got, you will come out a better, stronger person in the end. (Even if you end up losing the game.)
2. Three canon hates - Season 2. Wacky-stupid plots, strike-shortened, just a disappointment after S1. I've rewatched S1 countless times but rarely bother with S2.
- The way the arcs were set up in S3, that they broke it into 4 eps of Smash leaving, 4 eps of Jason leaving, 4 eps of getting to State and then the tacked-on epilogue of the wedding/contract dispute/college decisions.
- The short seasons for 4 and 5. With a cast that big and so many story lines, it's hard to do them all justice in only 13 eps. Think of something like Tim and Jason's falling out in S1 - it was something like 10 eps before they had their 'still friends' talk. It felt very real and satisfying.
3. Two fanon loves - Tulie, of course :) - Any back stories, put particularly ones that explain where Mama Riggins is and also look at Tim and Jason's friendship before the accident. - I know it says only two, but I also love stories of what REALLY happened in Mexico. (I'll give you a hint - it did NOT involve praying.)
4. Two fanon hates I seriously love it all. I discovered fanfic after I finished S2 and but before S3 started and was desperate for more stories from Dillon.
5. Two personal canon - I'm partial to my version of Luke's backstory. Yeah, I know, he could've been on JV, but I still don't feel like we've been told what year he is (and the only way it makes sense for him to be a senior is if S4 and S5 are covering a single academic/football year. Why would they have a guy come one as a senior and then graduate him before the fifth and likely final season.) - The missing scene of Tim telling Landry to get his ass to practice.
