I remain both excited to watch this show and mortified<\/i> that there is not another season of Friday Night Lights<\/i> beyond this next one. Y’all, I never want this to end. Never<\/i>. Alas, it’s time for me to post my final predictions for FNL<\/i>, and then I shall be sad forever<\/i>.<\/p>\n

First, let’s go over my predictions for season four, which I was clearly<\/i> unprepared for:<\/p>\n

\n
Okay, Landry will graduate from high school and get in to an awesome college. Damn, we didn’t even see<\/i> the end of the school year. 0\/1<\/b><\/li>\n
Matt will continue working at the Alamo Freeze while supporting his grandmother. haha ha ha ha laughing to keep from crying 0\/2<\/b><\/li>\n
Grandma Saracen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s health will worsen. Technically? Maybe not? Okay, I won’t count this one. 0\/3<\/b><\/li>\n
Matt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s father will visit at some point during the season, and he will fight with Matt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mother. I’M GOING TO THROW MYSELF INTO A CHASM OF DESPAIR. Technically, he did visit. While dead<\/i>. Sorry, I had to say it. 0\/4<\/b><\/li>\n
Tami will have to cope with people in Dillon trying to turn her against her husband. Oh, Mark, there were a million more conflicts so much worse than this. 0\/5<\/b><\/li>\n
Eric will facing severe funding issues at East Dillon. UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE CENTURY. At least I got something right! 1\/6<\/b><\/li>\n
The Panthers will not go to state. THANK THE LORD. I can’t believe I’m excited<\/i> about that. 2\/7<\/b><\/li>\n
The Lions will not go to state. Unfortunately, I was right, but AT LEAST THEY BEAT THE PANTHERS. 3\/8<\/b><\/li>\n
At least five new characters will be introduced this season. AND SO MANY GOOD ONES, AT THAT. Vince, Jess, Tinker, Luke, Big M, the East Dillon boosters\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I LOVE SEASON 4. 4\/9<\/b><\/li>\n
Tyra will leave the show. I miss Tyra. 5\/10<\/b><\/li>\n
Tim will leave the show. IT HURTS TO READ THIS. IT HURTS SO BAD. And I have no idea if I will<\/i> ever see him again! UGH. 5\/11<\/b><\/li>\n
Lyla will leave the show. Did she? Until it’s confirmed, I’m going to assume she didn’t. 5\/12<\/b><\/li>\n
Julie and Matt will stay together the entire season. PUSH ME OFF A CLIFF INTO A PIT OF VELOCIRAPTORS. – 1 TRILLION \/ 13<\/b><\/li>\n
Coach Taylor will stay at East Dillon High the entire season. And what a glorious prediction this is, because yes<\/i>. I love Eric at East Dillon. – 1 trillion \/14, only because I deserve to never be okay again after that Julie\/Matt prediction.<\/b><\/li>\n
Billy and Mindy will break up at least once this season, but will get back together. Kind of? Maybe not. Still at -1 trillion\/15<\/b><\/li>\n
Joe McCoy will still be the most evil thing of all evil things forever. I wasn’t even trying at this point. -1 trillion trillion \/16.<\/b><\/li>\n
J.D. will rebel against his father in a big way. COULD I BE MORE WRONG? – 1 TRILLION TRILLION TRILLION \/17<\/b><\/li>\n
And finally, the Panthers and the Lions will play each other at least once this season, and the Panthers will win. Yes, I could be wonderfully wrong<\/i>. – imaginary number \/ 18<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Which brings me to my final predictions for Friday Night Lights <\/i>ever. I’ll recap these and tally my results in the post for the FNL<\/i> movie, which will be reviewed on October 26th. (Oh god, then I start Supernatural<\/i> two days later.) So, let’s do this!<\/p>\n
\n
In the premiere, Tami will be working as head counselor at East Dillon. (I know this is a painfully obvious prediction, but we didn’t get absolute confirmation that she had made this arrangement, and I’d like to get one<\/i> thing right.)<\/li>\n
Vince and Jess will become a couple.<\/li>\n
The premiere will also jump forward in time about 8 months or so, to the start of the next season of football.<\/li>\n
That means Landry and Julie will both have graduated. (I kind of regret saying this only because this show is ambiguous about what grades people are in, and now I can’t remember if Landry was a senior in season 4.)<\/li>\n
Nonrecurring characters who will return in season 5: Lyla.<\/li>\n
Tyra.<\/li>\n
Jason Street.<\/li>\n
Tim Riggins.<\/li>\n
Matt Saracen.<\/li>\n
Lorraine.<\/li>\n
Shelby<\/li>\n
Becky will get a boyfriend.<\/li>\n
We will see Vince’s mom out of rehab.<\/li>\n
The Lions will be REALLY GOOD this year. I predict they only lose two games in the whole season.<\/li>\n
They will go to state.<\/li>\n
And because this is the last season and I purely want this because it would be lovely, the Lions will win state.<\/li>\n
(Which also means they’ll beat the West Dillon Panthers.)<\/li>\n
Joe McCoy will die after the West Dillon Stadium opens beneath him and chomps him up like he deserves it.<\/li>\n
Because Tami is now the head counselor, we will see the Taylors struggle with finances.<\/li>\n
Julie will go to school far from Dillon.<\/li>\n
I’ll cry a lot.<\/li>\n
Like, a lot<\/i>.<\/li>\n
I won’t be okay during the series finale. That’s more of a warning than a prediction. I’m expecting a Fringe<\/i> finale level of emotional breakdown here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The fifth season premiere’s review goes up on Thursday. H E L P.<\/p>\n
