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.
Tami Taylor does indeed know best on Friday Night Lights.
You can imagine, then, how she reacts when protege Tyra (Adrianne Palicki, pictured) acts out in typical Tyra fashion. Or when Buddy Garrity clashes with her yet again.
Meanwhile, Lyla and Tim continue their odd relationship, while Matt Saracen tries to legally emancipate himself and encounters a blast from the past.

With Friday Night Lights (new episode tonight at 9 p.m.) is airing on satellite TV channel, its definition of success has changed: Ratings for the Season 3 premiere were way down, but considering the much smaller potential audience, not so bad.
"They write a shirtless scene for me in every episode," Friday Night Lights' resident bad boy Taylor Kitsch (Tim Riggins) tells E! Online.
"I fight them on every episode. Sometimes I win. Sometimes they win."
If that doesn't make you want to watch Friday Night Lights, we don't know what will. But these additional spoilers should also boost the cause:
Tim and Lyla (Minka Kelly) are totally together (maybe you noticed), and Taylor is bringing the sexy back. But is there any long-term hope? "Sure, why not?" Taylor Kitsch said. "If she goes from Jesus to him, she must be into him."
Another thing you probably noticed is that D.W. Moffett joined the cast as Joe McCoy, the pushy, aggressive father of freshman QB phenom J.D. (Jeremy Sumpter), who is billed as the next Jason Street (Scott Porter).
And that does not bode well for the on-field future of Matt Saracen (Zach Gilford). But he's not worried. Gilford tells E! about his competition, "Everyone thinks [J.D.'s] really good, but come on, he's no Matt Saracen."
Friday Night Lights began its 13-episode run on DirectTV’s 101 Network last night and - despite a network change and new night (which is also its old night), the best show you probably never watch (but totally should) has not missed a beat.

Time to get DirecTV.
Not only will you get to see all 13 episodes of the third season of Friday Night Lights this fall - the series does not return to NBC until January - but you'll get to see Coach Taylor, Smash, Riggins & Co. entirely free of commercials.
Guess that's not too surprising. The web's leading sports site interviewed Friday Night Lights star Zach Gilford (below, as Matt Saracen) and went behind the scenes of one of TV's most acclaimed and underrated dramas.

Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello has some Friday Night Lights gossip in his column today, notably on the relationship between Tim and Lyla ...
Q: I'm dying for some great Tim-Lyla scoop. Anything from Friday Night Lights' unlikely likely couple?
A: Let's check in with Taylor Kitsch himself: "Lyla and Riggins are a couple now. In the first three episodes, we’re just trying to figure out how this is going to work. It's Tim Riggins, though, so you can understand why she’s apprehensive. There’s a bit of convincing going on; it’s just a give-and-take. You really do see how these guys are close, but at the same time, there are obviously some blow-ups."
