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.

(Nuuh! LJ has eaten my comment notifications)

S1 Tim is so beautifully broken. Taylor plays that so well I think.

Coach and Tami have such a real and loving relationship, I really wish there was more of that on the TV. And they should adopt all the kids in Dillon.

The Panthers have an awesome motto, I wasn't sure about it when I first heard it, then I worked out what it meant, and it's beautiful.

Can was pretend S2 never existed? That would be cool. And the end of S3, which was just badly paced.

Tulie is the darling pairing of the fandom. I think it works though, for everything that's against them, they're both more perceptive than they let on.

Luke is rather interesting I think. I'd like to see them explore him a little more.

Tim telling Landry... I've missed something here... ♥

I think notifications are all messed up by the sheer metric fuck tonnage of virtual gifts.

You probably haven't read the Tim and Landry scene, maybe, if you're avoiding S4 spoilers?
