Morning Discussion

by Xav de Matos, Feb 10, 2011 5:00am PST

Last night, one of the best shows on television ended. Five years after continuing the story already made into a film inspired by the novel from author H. G. Bissinger, Friday Night Lights has run its final play.

It's odd though; for some, the season hasn't even started. Friday Night Lights first runs on Direct TV and then jumps to a major network--in this case, NBC.

On NBC, Friday Night Lights begins its final season on April 15. If you haven't seen the series, I recommend it. It really is something special, even if you don't like football.

Trailer for X-Men: First Class is going to be released today.
I'm afraid for this movie. It's supposed to come out in June and they are still filming right now and all the released shots havn't given me much confidence.

Would love for it to be as good as X2 or even #1
