Was Ted holding his coat open and angling the signal so it was pointing at the coat and not at any people?  I binge-watched the first season and a half last weekend so this is my first one on an episodic schedule, and I think it's going to be very weird. They do a lot of very small easily missed callbacks on this show...

As someone who binged the first season in a little over a day, I feel like people might be forgetting how the first season felt 6 episodes in? Like I get the characters have gone from imaginable alchoholic cokeheads with chlamydia (tbh I hope they lean back into this with Jamie Tart despite his newfound teamwork/diplomacy) to harmless sitcom characters who goof about when needed. But the first season wasn't exactly examining this poo poo, it just had a bit more conflict initially with Rebecca. Keeley was still pretty much her best friend constantly gassing her up just as positive as Ted, the SECOND she met Rebcca.

Ted Lasso talk: I think this whole time I've earnestly believed Nate is a teen or early twenties, but I suddenly noticed some graying temples and realised the actor is 40 years old? Not too sure how old the character is meant to be? Because his 'being a oval office' arc is a lot harder to forgive in a grown up.

Ted Lasso new ep: - They dragged out the Sam/Rebecca reveal, but loved the unguarded compliments and Rebecca's reaction to just professionally shut that down. (And horror at "I groomed you!") Rooting for them but not sure how to feel ethically about them getting together! - No ethical issues with Jamie punching his dad! Think it's good that Roy was the one who stepped up after. Reminds you of that thing another poster said about "he's not nice but he's kind". I also saw someone on Reddit draw a line between Phoebe's dad that Roy hated and recognising that in Jamie's dad. - Film Crit Hulk predicted that Ted's father died in tragedy a while back. Think there was a throwaway line about him being dead in season 1, and a line in the darts scene about constantly being taken to bars growing up suggesting some darkness in that figure. Plus the obvious psychology behind the constant positivity.

Some website says the actor turned 24 in April, so close enough! Surprised to see people are so against the Sam/Rebecca relationship. My only issue is the employer relationship there. Their chemistry was mostly offscreen on the Bantr app which is kinda bad, but I'd root for them. Although I NEED to see Keeley's reaction to it! I do think the oil company plotline was given way too easy and clean an answer and it's distractingly unrealistic. Taking a stand was enough. But I guess that scene was mainly just there to facilitate the dad vs "dad" comparison for Jamie.

I do think Keeley is underrated, almost another Ted in terms of whimsy and positivity. The way she gasses Rebecca up is so sweet and good. I'm also weirdly glad to see the Juno Temple get a stable, positive role.

That Ted Lasso episode was worse than the Christmas one. Oof.  I feel like Beard is even less of a character and I know even less about him than I did before. Literally the opposite of what I wanted. Ninurta posted:So, the Coach Beard episode dropped. Clearly, he suffered a concussion after falling over the barrier last episode and this was the result.

They had a man unconvincingly jump off a roof in the Ted Lasso show. So weird and bad. I'm still so confused by what we were supposed to take from anything that happened. They have a character manifest a hallucination declaring he hates himself and might be suicidal ("Shut up, Thierry Henry!" was a fun runner though). And he's very upset that he didn't...protest a strategy harder? Then they seem to treat reuniting with Jane after she texted 'I love you' as a celebratory moment that gets him back on track? Despite her texts apparently reading: quote:Hey I do Love you, you know I said I love you I LOVE YOU I'm just confused (and bored).

I think disappointment from 1st to 2nd season makes sense with regards to narrative arcs, but I can trust that the writers are playing the long game with the show/characters and I'm enjoying the ride... Except for these obvious 2 filler episodes which felt like a complete waste of time.

Hannah Waddingham's slightly manic acceptance speech included a line that feels like it could've been from the show:quote:Juno Temple! *points to award* I swear to god if I could break off one of her arms and give it to you- because that's what you are to me. There's no Rebecca without Keeley! And if you ever leave my life, I'm gonna stalk you. Love to see it. VagueRant fucked around with this message at 11:45 on Sep 20, 2021 |

Yeah, there's been two episodes now where Keeley absolutely flips on him instead of just communicating her feelings, and both times ended with him apologising. It is a little weird for her characterisation.pokeyman posted:Could also explain Rupert's divestiture of their Richmond share, maybe there's some rule forbidding owning a stake in multiple teams? Relentlessboredomm posted:Lastly Sassy is the best, I could watch her relentlessly go after Rupert forever.

I like the incredibly simple psychology of Ted saying "I wish I'd told him [he was good at the things he didn't care about being good at]" with his constant "I appreciate [x]" trait, including Doc confirming she will bill him for this mid-hug and "I appreciate your professionalism."

Re: Ted I was Physically pained by the changing room scene and its inevitable conclusion. I just hate that trope. Enjoyed the photoshoot scene honesty. Not knowing what the letter said is kind of unsatisfying but I guess works as a sitcom beat that got us to the next thing. The army man was entirely for the audience in a way that distracted me, and the Rebecca at the doorstep scene was literally pointless. Some odd beats in this one for sure. What was the timeline on that final reveal? I remember a suspicious scene of Trent asking him about the food poisoning at the pub, but I thought that was before Ted told the coaching team the truth? Or are we to assume that this only just happened that very day?

Ted Lasso: the meanest show on television, where good-looking, confident, successful, tall white people learn it was a mistake to show compassion to sad, bullied, short, socially awkward ethnic minorities. This might be an uncharitable reading of the text, I'll admit.

I understand being disappointed by the latest season in contrast to the first, but some of this seems pretty hyperbolic. (Nothing is comparable to that last season of Game Of Thrones, not even Mass Effect 3 - and I hated the entire game, not just the ending)Spacebump posted:I like a weekly release schedule because it helps drive discussion. Having the entire season out at once hurts online discussion because you basically have to watch a whole season before you can discuss it anywhere or it might get spoiled. It also helps individual episodes stand out. Relentlessboredomm posted:oh also we're all on the same page that the new billionaire is secretly evil as gently caress right? The helicopter shots felt like it was more languishing in glamorous spectacle than telling a story.

I really liked that final scene with Sam! Him getting a bit more of his old home in his new home reconciles pretty much everything the evil rich guy tried to tempt him with. Was super confused about what we were supposed to take from the final Roy/Keeley scene though.

Actually curious about the abandonment angle for character psychology. My reading was that Ted dug Nate out of the hole he was in, got him out of being bullied, got him a good position where he could use his skills, and was happy to let him go spread his wings at that point. Ted still valued him and their relationship as seen with the photo, but considered his coaching work done there and could focus on someone else. And Nate mistook that for abandonment because he wanted constant approval/attention to make up for the lack of it from his father. But I feel like something is missing there. I guess some of that clashes with the (and I hate to go down this road) entitled incel psychology they're also playing with where he seems angry at the world because as a little socially awkward chubby fella he's never going to have what the Roys and Keeleys have...

Tangential to Ted Lasso talk, but people all over were very excited to see Sam Richardson and I'm trying to figure out what the hype is I've missed? He was great in that final scene, and I vaguely remember him as the Little Buff Boys guy, but what's he done that has people so excited to see him?
