Friday Night Lights’ Zach Gilford on His Big Episode, That Facebook Campaign, and the Series Finale

Friday Night Lights has always has passionate fans, but over the last few weeks, their fervor has been updated for the Facebook age.

As he films an arc of episodes for the show’s fifth (and presumed-to-be final) season, Gilford rang Movieline to talk about filming the tough episode, the things we didn’t see, and what the FNL series finale will (and won’t) have in common with the final episode of lost.
