Ted Lasso talk (Apple TV)

I think I’m up to all but today’s episode. I haven’t penis roped yet.

It feels just like there are one or two too many threads happening at once this season - and I’m imagining not all of them will result in a ‘decent’ payoff.

Spoilers up to last week, but seems a lot to resolve:

Richmonds lack of a win
Rebcca’s ferttility
Keelys’ PR firm; the dodgy hire + Jack threads
the unresolved Nate+Ted line - which I’m imagining will be the finale.
Zava’s bit - which seems to be done now.
Ted’s therapy + anxiety
Ted’s kid
Ted’s ex’s relationship with their counsellor.
Rupert cheating

Just seemingly putting a lot out there compared to normal it feels.

Turns out I’m two eps behind, busy week(s). Hopefully will get caught up but the synopsis sound intriguing.

Especially this plot line:

. Nate works up the courage to ask Jade on a date

I could watch that for days.

Agreed. The last episode I saw had a social issue that I agree with the point it was making but it felt just so plonked there with no real thought.

Brooklyn 99 did the same thing in the last season and I just stopped watching.

Keely had the best lines tonight.

The whole what is May short - maybe?
Nice to see you in colour (to Roy)

This weeks episode was so wonderful. As you said earlier it’s been really building through the season with the last few episodes being brilliant. (Hopefully that didn’t need a spoiler tag).

Ted is such a wonderful Mary Poppins. I’m going to miss them all.

I had to go rewatch the violin scene. Apparently it was the actor and his wife doing the actual music there. Literal Chills.

Will always love “They fuck you up your mum and your dad”.

Feels like the Jack arc ended quite abruptly - would love to have seen more of that - but they are very much focusing on the “around the event” style of story telling.

Have loved the last episode - some fun spoiler moments I lived for.

  • a Loaf of Meth
  • Thank you and Fuck You
  • Jamie’s dad in rehab :cry:
  • Jade’s OH NOOO HE DID WHAT scene.
  • “I hope either all of us, or none of us, get judged on our lowest moments” :cry:

Glad I stuck with it a few eps back ;

Ok the spoiler tags aren’t working so I’m trying again!

I thought Jamie’s Dad was actually in prison

I might be being too optimisic here, but am I the only one that thinks this might not be the end? I know all signs point to it but I mean, that cliffhanger seemed a little too obvious.

Just keeping everything crossed that there’s 1 more :crossed_fingers:t2:

I don’t think we’re there yet though. There’s so many more characters stories they could bring to to the forefront in the same way they have with Sam and Colin.

I can see your point, but I think its got 1 or 2 more seasons in it.

Has any show with a character name in the title ever been successful after the titled character left?

Taggart? The named lead didnt leave I guess though, the actor died.

They could just make a spin off called that if they really wanted to I guess.

I think I’d really enjoy a few spin offs of this, if it does it well in a Better Caul Sall kind of way.

So it happened :cry: An amazing episode, it really was full circle for the show.
I think we’ve seen the last of Ted Lasso but not the end of the show…

Surely this sets up a spin off?

What a good spot

If there was to be a spin off, do we think it might be called The Richmond Way, as per the book titley?

I’ve been avoiding this topic and social media until I could watch it with the Mrs and then she fell asleep halfway through.

But what a great ending, super saccharine but I wanted it! There were definitely a few wobbly episodes in the middle but a great high to go out on!
