Iā€™ll repost the Brett Goldstein acceptance speech here as well then since @Peter_G has went ahead and made a Topic for us all to rant about how great this show is.

Thatā€™s excellent - I assumed most of the crowd shots were taken from real matches and just dropped in, which already felt like a lot of work.

It certainly was

I wondered all series where Rupert was. But giving his shares away, the chat with Nath and the grin from him doesnā€™t bode well. I reckon thatā€™s going to be the main focus of a devastating series cliff hanger

This episode was a rollercoaster. How far they are taking Tedā€™s storyline is really deep.

I will say I thought the conversation at the beginning in their bedroom between keeley and Roy was just an advert for the new filming mode on iPhone 13 (as that convo at the end with keeley and Jamie tart sets up an interesting end to the season on that story line/ maybe obviousā€¦.

I read a review somewhere that an episode of Ted Lasso is like rolling around on the floor with a puppy.

I enjoyed todays ep, but feel like thereā€™s a lot to happen in the finale to resolve all these storylinesā€¦

Also, I really thought Ted and Sharon were going to get together. Iā€™m glad they didnā€™t though. I was also convinced he was the one texting Rebecca, and the reason he didnā€™t get with her friend last year was because he liked her. But I guess heā€™s still into his ex so it would be way too soon for him to move on.

Observations after binging four episodes in a row:

  • Nates hair is getting progressively greyer as the season goes on.
  • The product placement in this show is terrible.
  • 'Roid Kent is possibly my favourite side plot

Nexts weeks Finale is gonna be a big un

The song at the end was blinking perfect. Canā€™t wait for next week!

Itā€™s been really deliberately planned though, something is going to happen in the finale to resolve it. Either he gets a huge dressing down or he quits and stays bitter. Hopefully Ted impresses on him the value of working well together and he realises the error of his ways.

Got to say, Trent is an awful journalist. Who would ever reveal a source, to a friend. Who would write about a friend in the first place? And who would send a link to an an article online, and THEN ask for a comment?!

Unlreated, its been interesting reading US commenters getting into a tizzy about Rebecca & Sam. I think over there colleague romances are more frowned upon? Whereas here its not uncommon for people to be dating in an office, even amongst senior and junior staff. So long as you donā€™t treat them differently, or donā€™t have direct line management responsibility it usually seems okay.

After my week off - Iā€™ve had two episodes of Ted Lasso to catch up on. This season is just a completely different level.

First season was mainly uplifting stuff that warmed the heart but this season wants to break the things inside of me haha. This used to be my replacement for Parks & Rec for that feel good fix I needed to get through the week.

  • Nate started as this tortured little character who has now turned into a pure example of ā€œpower corruptsā€. The whole spitting in the mirror is dark and also gives me huge COVID fears :x:

  • Roy & Keeley not working out is a bummer but there was so many moments of complete clarity/bliss earlier season that it was obvious that they wanted to break our hearts.

  • Coach Beard needs to drop Nate an even stronger truth bomb on him.

  • Rebecca and Sam is a small nugget of joy we got before they broke up so rapidly. Small potential of them hooking back up but I really hope it doesnā€™t involve her singing again. (Sheā€™s a good singer but they seem to have used that fact far too much.)

  • Anthony Headā€™s character is up to something dodgy :eyes:
