CLEAR EYES, FULL HEARTS, CAN'T LOSE: Producers--watch that finale episode of Friday Night Lights. That's how you do a season finale--callbacks to just about every major event of the season, authentic emotion, and leaving the characters in a different place than where we started them. Kyle Chandler probably doesn't have much a chance of winning an Emmy (he's up against Hugh Laurie, Michael C. Hall, James Gandolfini, and Kiefer Sutherland), but he's making the best case he could possibly make for a nomination. Connie Britton faces less stiff competition (especially if she goes as lead, keeping her out of the way of the Oh/Heigl/Wilson/Walsh group from Grey's and in a category where 3 of last year's 5 nominees cannot return) and made yet another astoudingly good case. I'm a bit worried the supporting cast may not get their deserved recognition because of their youth and the fact that they haven't done a ton of press (it might help to re-edit the credits to allow people to link the actor names with characters), but wonderful work all around.
Sepinwall's got more, and Maureen Ryan has the transcript of Coach Taylor's St. Crispian's Day Speech.
