FNL: Episode 3.8 deleted scene

SPOILER ALERT: Don't click on the video or read the below if you aren't there yet (What's taking you so long? You know they're all on Hulu right?).



Jason Street wasn't my favorite character on the show. He always seemed a bit melodramatic. I realize that being crippled in the first episode of a show gives him license to be upset but I'm pretty sure he cried in every episode he was in. He was so emotional he even made Riggins cry in 3.8.

Well Street actor Scott Porter helps to redeem himself and his character in my mind by writing this article here . He talks about everything from how his character was written into a corner (Sharks? really?), how the writer's strike (ed: thankfully) stifled the relationship with him and his baby mama and what it was like to shoot with Riggins in NYC.

I applaud the show for mostly avoiding the easy plot lines about being a parapalegic in these last 4 episodes; it allowed audiences to relate to the character and actually feel for him. The gentle reminders ("They always remember the wheelchair") were deftly used to show how Street is dealing with all this shit on top of the fact that he can't get in and out of a car without help.

Goodbye, Street and good luck in NY. Hopefully you can move out of NJ soon.
