This week in West Texas, the big news is the departure of Gaius Charles (Brian "Smash" Williams) from the critically acclaimed NBC / DirecTV show Friday Night Lights.
We knew it was coming - his character will no longer be in the main cast because he's leaving Dillon - but that doesn't make it easy to handle for the show's fans.

E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos was there in Texas for the departure of Gaius Charles (a.k.a. Brian "Smash" Williams) from Friday Night Lights... it's a sad day, but a nice tribute to this rising young acting star. Check out the video below:
How much longer will Matt stay at quarterback?
How will Coach respond to the fallout of a brutal loss?
Will Smash swallow his pride and let his mama help him?
Will Matt and Julie get together already?
How great are the Riggins boys and the Collette girls?
All these questions and more remain to be answered. But for a full recap of last week's action, check out our recap of "How the Other Half Live."
If you have DirecTV, you'll be watching tonight's Friday Night Lights, "How the Other Half Live" on the 101 Network. You're reading this, after all!
And after the episode, stick around for the premiere of Live From Dillon, a new live call-in show that E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos will host.
There you will get the chance to ask questions (over the phone, via email or text message) of the Friday Night Lights cast in Austin, Texas.
Each Wednesday for the next six weeks, they will have different cast members as live guests on the show, starting tonight with the Garritys: Minka Kelly (Lyla) and Brad Leland (Buddy). That should be a good interview!
Live From Dillon airs immediately following the 9 p.m. EDT episode of Friday Night Lights on DirecTV's 101 Network. Check it out if you can!
A quick note on Friday Night Lights ratings from TV Guide today ...
Q: How are Friday Night Lights' ratings on DirecTV? I'm concerned that if they aren't high enough, NBC won't air the show this winter as promised.
A: Fret not. First of all, I can't imagine NBC not airing Friday Night Lights at this point. They still have to figure out if this DirecTV experiment worked, and they can't do that without correlative network ratings. As for its DirecTV run, the season premiere ranked No. 7 "I Knew You When ..." in its timeslot among all basic cable channels, but an impressive second among women 18-to-49, which means… what, exactly? Not sure, but DirectTV tells us they are "very pleased" with those results.
