LOTS of FNL stuff this week. :)
First off, S4 E13,Thanksgiving-the season's finale-aired last night-and a very hard one it was to watch, for many reasons.
Trace's DirecTV feed was effected by the nasty weather the country's been having, so she was unable to post her recap as of yet-but I will post it here as soon as she's able to review the episode, so no worries, hon! ;)
Reviews from here-spoilers-some with pics-so don't click if you don't want to know:
The LATimes gives their review, plus ten reasons why they think S4 is the series' best season here:
There's been a lot of news regarding S5 being FNL's final season, noticably from here:
But the shows' head honcho Jason Katims has a somewhat different opinion here:
....soooooo, not exactly sure yet, apparently. :)
Either way, it's going to seem a bit odd to not come here and do the FNL update every Thursday**heavy sigh**-albeit, we WILL still be doing updates, so no worries THERE, either! :lol:
In other news:
Riggins is the "staff crush" over at AOLTelevision:
I've begun working on capping Gospel Hill-the first series of caps are here at my Photobucket:

A few things. here...
First, an absolutely incredible article from the Los Angeles Times(it does have one pic that MIGHT be considered a spoiler, so be warned):
Still, at a time when NBC is being vilified, here is one thing it has done right. Despite paltry ratings, it has continued to support what may be the best dramatic series in the history of television (re:FNL). That's right: history.
Secondly, you can vote for FNL at the TVGuide Games, here:
Third, some new promo pics from S4 E12, Labouring, here at my Photobucket-sorry for the watermarks-spoilers, so don't look if you don't want to know!!:

A TK sighting in London, where John Carter of Mars has begun filming, here:
We were ordering drinks when a friend recognized Taylor Kitsch, a Canadian actor most famous for television's "Friday Night Lights" and the most recent X-Men movie. I had never heard of him and still couldn't pick him out of a lineup, but an iPhone search into his business in London turned up a movie filming in town (John Carter oi Mars) with a noteworthy director attached who happened to be standing next to the aforementioned actor in the pub.
And in other JCOM news Bryan Cranston talks a bit about his part in the movie here:
As for pictures, huge thanks to malevine5 for the heads-up of finding this new pic of Gambit on the Brazilian DVD of X-Men Origins: Wolverine:
And a new FNL pic up at the DirecTV site:

News we've been waiting for:
John Carter of Mars began filming principal photography in London today! :D
From here, among others:
BURBANK, Calif. (January 15, 2010) - Principal photography is underway in London for Walt Disney Pictures' "JOHN CARTER OF MARS." Academy Award-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton brings this captivating hero to the big screen in a stunning adventure epic set on the wounded planet of Mars, a world inhabited by warrior tribes and exotic desert beings. Based on the first of Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Barsoom Series," the film chronicles the journey of Civil-War veteran John Carter, who finds himself battling a new and mysterious war amidst a host of strange Martian inhabitants.
Produced for Walt Disney Pictures by Jim Morris ("WALL•E," "Ratatouille") and Colin Wilson ("Avatar," "War of the Worlds"), the live action/animation film marks Academy Award-winning director/writer Andrew Stanton's ("Finding Nemo," "WALL•E") first foray into live action. Stanton directed and co-wrote the screenplay for Disney-Pixar's "WALL-E," which earned the Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature (2008); Stanton was nominated for an Oscar for the screenplay. He made his directorial debut with Disney-Pixar's "Finding Nemo," garnering an Academy Award-nomination for Best Original Screenplay and winning the Oscar for Best Animated Feature (2003). He has worked as a screenwriter and/or executive producer on Disney-Pixar's "Toy Story," "A Bug's Life" (which he also co-directed), "Toy Story 2," "Monsters, Inc.," "Ratatouille" and "Up."
"I have been waiting my whole life to see the characters and worlds of 'John Carter of Mars' realized on the big screen," says Stanton. "It is just a wonderful bonus that I have anything to do with it."
The stellar ensemble cast is led by Taylor Kitsch (NBC'S "Friday Night Lights", "X-Men Origins: Wolverine") in the title role, Lynn Collins ("50 First Dates," "X-Men Origins: Wolverine") as the warrior princess Dejah Thoris and Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe ("Spider-Man 3," "Shadow of a Vampire") as Martian inhabitant Tars Tarkas. The cast also includes Thomas Haden Church ("Sideways," Spider-Man 3), Polly Walker (upcoming "Clash of the Titans," "Patriot Games"), Samantha Morton ("Elizabeth: The Golden Age," "In America"), Mark Strong ("Sherlock Holmes," "Body of Lies"), Ciaran Hinds ("Munich," "There Will Be Blood"), British actor Dominic West ("300," "Chicago"), James Purefoy ("Vanity Fair," "Resident Evil") and Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad"). Daryl Sabara ("Disney's A Christmas Carol," "Spy Kids") takes the role of John Carter's teenaged nephew, Edgar Rice Burroughs.
The creative team includes Oscar-nominated production designer Nathan Crowley ("Public Enemies," "The Dark Knight," "Batman Begins"), costume designer Mayes Rubeo ("Avatar," "Apocalypto"), cinematographer Daniel Mindel ("Star Trek," "Mission Impossible III," "Spygame") and video effects supervisor Peter Chiang ("The Reader," "The Bourne Ultimatum").
Plus, MANY thanks to FoolishGirl for finding THIS:
Trust me: You'll WANT to look! :D

Okay, well-the first news is the best news for those who don't have DirecTV: because of all the upheaval caused by the late-night "wars," NBC has revamped its' schedule and will begin airing epidoes of FNL S4 staring 30 April.
YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!**pumps fist**
Ahem....sorry.... :D
From here:
NBC has just unveiled its post-Olympics, Leno-free midseason schedule, and there’s good news for fans of Friday Night Lights who don’t have DirecTV. The drama’s fourth season — the one currently airing on DirecTV — will make its Peacock debut on Friday, April 30.
(Well, so now must take back "sarcasm" comment I made earlier and I promised I would, so duly noted and done.*Heh*)
In other news......
Bryan Cranston, of Breaking Bad and Malcolm In The Middle, has been added to the cast of John Carter of Mars.
Cinemax will begin airing X-Men Origins: Wolverine starting Saturday, 27 March-the nice thing about Cinemax is that they often show little movie-related clips and interviews throughout their schedule, so keep your eyes open if you happen to have that channel. ;)
FNL S4 E9, The Lights of Carroll Field, aired last night and, as always, Trace's review, here(thanks,hon!):
And reviews(some with pics)here(spoilers, so if you don't want to know, don't click!):
And speaking of pictures............
I forgot to post the link to the caps I did for The Covenant, so massive apologies all around(brain-fade again, apparently, sorry!), so they are here:
There are some new(still watermarked)FNL promo pics here(spoilers for upcoming episodes):
And some scans from a TK "mini-magazine" from Brazil here(and if anyone can tell us WHO that one pic is that VERY obviously ISN'T Taylor, we'd be most grateful!):
And...I think that's it for the moment! :lol:

Well, this isn't exactly new news, as we've heard the reports earlier and have pretty much been expecting it, but FNL's head honcho Jason Katims just confirmed it-that Taylor won't be back as a full-time regular on season five of FNL due to the filming of John Carter of Mars.
From here:
Take a knee, Friday Night Lights fans.
It's true. Taylor Kitsch won't be a full-fledged castmember next season.
I had a nice long chat with executive producer Jason Katims last night about Taylor (otherwise known as the fiery hotness that is Tim Riggins) and he told me: "Taylor is shooting a movie [John Carter of Mars] and it doesn't work out with his schedule to have him on as a series regular for FNL next season."
What the what? So does that mean we won't see Taylor at all? And what about the other "graduated" stars?
"I'm sure you will see Taylor next season," Katims assured me, after offering me his hanky. (What? I took the news hard.) "We are planning to have him come back toward the end of the season, and possibly do a couple along the way if we can work it out with production."
After more begging pleading responsible journalistic querying, Katims told me: "We love Taylor and we are doing everything within our power to get him on season five as much as possible."
Katims said he knew it was only a matter of time before Kitsch would move on to a big-screen career, especially after starring in the latest X-Men. "Taylor is not only incredibly talented but a real guy. Passionate, devoted, solid. We've loved having him on the show but we wanted to support him in this and give him a chance to shoot the movie, which will be good for his career."
And from here:
Friday Night Lights, which over the last season and a half has seen the departures of nearly all its original young cast, is about to endure another devastating blow. Popular heartthrob Taylor Kitsch, who plays bad boy Tim Riggins, will not be returning next season as a series regular, executive producer Jason Katims tells me exclusively.
Taylor found success on the big screen last year as Gambit alongside Hugh Jackman in "X-Men Origins:Wolverine," and later this year will appear with Ryan Phillippe in the apartheid drama, "The Bang Bang Club"." He is also attached to the sci-fi fantasy film "John Carter of Mars," which is set to start shooting this month. "Because this was a big opportunity for him, we wanted to let him do that," says Katims. "We'll stay in close contact with production and try to get him for as many episodes as possible."
But the show made similar promises about former cast member Adrianne Palicki, who left the series last season to star in a string of upcoming films that have so far ruled out any return appearances.
While the show's other young characters, including Tyra, Lyla (Minka Kelly), Smash (Gaius Charles) and most recently, Matt (Zach Gilford), all left to pursue higher education, it was explained at the start of the current season, that college was not in Riggins' future.
Instead, he has joined his brother in an illegal chop shop endeavor to raise extra cash to buy land. He has also entered into a romance with an under-aged girl. Either one of these scenarios could conceivably land Tim in jail, possibly taking the fall for his older brother, Billy, who is about to become a first time father. But Katims resisted commenting on the possibility of sending Riggins to the slammer, saying instead, 'You'll just have to watch.'"
Well, some Riggins is way better than NO Riggins at all, IMHO!! ;)

From here:
With NBC officially confirming that The Jay Leno Show will no longer air at 10 o'clock as of Feb. 12, what are its plans to fill the vacant slot?
"I will wait until the very last second making changes to the schedule," NBC chairman Jeff Gaspin said.
Among the more promising options, however, is an earlier-than-planned premiere of Friday Night Lights on the Peacock. Gaspin said episodes that have aired on DirecTV will be available for broadcast on NBC as early as March 1, though he did not indicate how soon the network would use them. Programmers had previously suggested a summer 2010 premiere for Season 4.
Okay, if they do, I'll take back my "note sarcasm" remark, I promise! :lol:

Well, I finally got around to finishing something I've wanted to do for a long time-and that was to cap all the Gambit-centric parts of XMO:Wolverine.
If anyone wants to see them, they're here, all 508 of them. :D

And still MORE!! :D
On The Bang Bang Club front, a NEW picture from here:
Pic here:
Also, a new pic of Taylor with a fan on-set, credit and thanks to Lonna:
And speaking of pictures, there are some old and new pics of Taylor at photographer Tony Duran's site here:
The older ones are from Taylor's modeling days and-be forewarned-there IS some nudity in them-they are from a series done with actress Meg Ryan. The newer ones are from a photoshoot probably done last year-we've seen them before, but these are better quality. They are all uploaded at my Photobucket here:
FNL episode S4 E8, Toilet Bowl, aired this past Wednesday-Trace's recap of it is here:
Reviews for it(some with pics)here-again, spoilers, so don't look if you don't want to know!:
And last-but certainly not least!-some new promo pics(albeit watermarked,sorry)from FNL, here:
If I've forgotten anything, I will post it tommorrow. :)
But I THINK that catches us up for the moment! :D

The full interview Taylor did for Black Book Magazine is here:
And he was also listed at 4 in AOL's TV's Top Shirtless Guy Moments of 2009, here(bonus video at the link!):
Of course, with the end of 2009 coming up, there were numerous "Best Of..." lists, in which FNL made a number of them, listed here:
I'm sure there were more, but this all I could find before my brain went numb from going through so many "best of" lists! :lol:
In some rather irritating news, NBC(in all it's wisdom-note sarcasm,please)has decided to keep FNL benched from their regular television schedule until Summer 2010, so unless you have DirectTV(or*cough*other*cough*ways), it'll be awhile before it returns to the small screen for most of us-way to go,NBC!! }:( From here:
On the John Carter of Mars front, actor Mark Strong-who plays a villan named Matai Shang in the movie, talked a bit about what's coming up, here:
And a little more info from here regarding the movie:
And apparently, it starts filming in London next week, according to actor Willem Dafoe, who will also be appearing in it, from here:
Okay, onto Part Three! :D

Well, first off, I hope everyone had a great holiday season and are enjoying the new year so far!
That being said, I sincerely apologize for being in absentia for awhile-between losing our internet connection to the cold weather, trying to get it(unsuccessfully)fixed several times by our ISP and the insane amount of work and hours that I was putting in at my job, I hardly had any time to breathe, much less get on the computer to try and catch up, unfortunately. It all kind of turned me into a walking zombie for awhile, so to speak!! :lol:
BUT:survived it all, got the connection fixed correctly and I'm back, having spent the last two days just going through everything and trying to catch up with it all-I have LOTS to post here, so will get started-there is enough that I will probably have to split this into two(maybe three)postings, so please bear with me! :)
Let's just start back from about 6 December 2009, when everything started going haywire on my end:
Taylor was listed as one of Hollywood's 2010 Leading Men, from here:
FNL S4 E6 episode, Stay, aired 9 December 2009-here's Trace's recap of it-and MANY thanks again to her for ALL of her recaps!*hugs*:
RE:TK-"...he states, straightening the briefs and tank we've become accustomed to seeing him in this season. (Just a guess - Kitsch is so buff for John Carter that if we saw him shirtless, we'd go blind. So they're really doing us a favor with that shirt.)"
**SNERK** :lol: :lol: :lol:
Oh, Trace, you KILL me sometimes!! :D
Reviews of the episode from here(some with pics)-spoilers for those who haven't seen it, so don't click if you don't want to know!:
And FNL S4 E6, In The Bag, aired 16 December 2009-Trace's recap here:
Reviews here-again, some with pics and again, spoilers:
.....and I think I'll stop here and go onto Part Two. :)

Again, sorry for being in absentia AGAIN-work and real life has again intervened-but the good news is I will have next week off and I promise, I WILL be catching up with everything here! :)
It has been an exciting year for us-XMO:Wolverine, FNL's fourth season, new pics, all kinds of things!
We have a new year coming up and a LOT to look forward to: The Bang Bang Club (hopefully!), John Carter of Mars, more FNL and hopefully, LOTS more good stuff!!
So, mes amis, thanks for all the good times and laughs this year and we here at TK.Net plan on sharing many, many more with you in the coming year.
We hope you have a safe, healthy and VERY Happy New Year-see you all next year and everyone have a safe and fun time tonight!!
