Friday Night Lights

The battle for Lyla is about to get very interesting. Even though Riggins looked mighty defeated last Friday after witnessing Chris plant that smooch on his ladylove, he’s not throwing in the towel. In fact, the problem-plagued Panther will align himself with a very unlikely entity in his bid to win her back. That being said, the Riggins/Lyla/Chris triangle will hardly be a drawn out affair.

Jericho

According to executive producer Carol Barbee, because of the seven-episode order, this season of Jericho is “all A-story.” Indeed, the first three eps move at a very rapid and satisfying pace. If you’re more in it for the characters than for the plot, don’t worry, there are also some lovely developments for at least two beloved citizens of Jericho. [Kristin@E!Online]

The grim, gray look of yesterseason has been traded out for a shiny, new, cleaned-up Jericho, Kansas. According to producer Karim Zreik, season two “shows the town in a new light.” [Kristin@E!Online]

Jake and Emily (Skeet Ulrich and Ashley Scott) are together, and they’re very happy. The Jakeless Heather, however, is present, accounted for and turning into quite the hero. [Kristin@E!Online]

Daniel Benzali’s (Homeland Security honcho Thomas Valente) passing resemblance to Dick Cheney is not an accident. We’ll also meet another important politico. [Kristin@E!Online]

Even though her contract was not renewed, Pamela Reed will be back as Gail Green. Look for her to appear in one episode in the latter half of the season. [Kristin@E!Online]

After the departure of Gerald McRaney (the late, great Mayor Johnston Greene), there was, said Barbee, “a vacuum of awesomeness that had to be filled.” Esai Morales fills that vacuum as a new local authority in charge of awesome, no-nonsense problem solving. [Kristin@E!Online]

Stay tuned for the finale, episode seven, said producer Turteltaub. “Episode seven is worth watching even if you haven’t watched the first six.” According to producers, the blockbuster season-ender offers closure to fans—just in case the series is not renewed—but also opens the door to a new challenge in season three.

Someone we thought was killed in the season finale will turn up very much alive in the January 31 premiere. [Michael Ausiello]

Other interesting “out of place” objects will turn up, both on and off the island. [Michael Ausiello]

In the season premiere episode, “The Beginning of the End,” feeling that their rescue is close at hand, the survivors don’t know whether to believe Charlie’s final message that the people claiming to liberate them are not who they seem to be.
