Should be being the key words there? How do they know Thrawn didn't kill him or that the trip itself didn't kill him? I mean you fought the damm war, you know what the Empire is, you just had proof of how far imperial loyalists will go and that there are in every level of society. You have to be extremely selfish to do what she did. It is not even a matter of 'the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few'; it is the matter of your need outweighing the need of millions (billion?).

I’ve just binge watched all five episodes and I loved this one. I adore Rosario Dawson and I’ve enjoyed her Ahsoka since her first appearance playing her. The whole Anakin/Ahsoka part was great and kid Ahsoka was good. I never really followed the Clone Wars or Rebels that close but what exactly makes people think Ezra is alive? That he was not killed etc? And are he and Sabine supermeglose or what? Because seems like utter stupidity to not destroy the map. The visual of the whales was something.

This. Fuck Nate. No really, fuck Nate. I was furious when I saw that WILL was with Isaac and Colin asking him back. I'm sorry, why? Why do they need him? They are coming from 15 wins. Nate bullied Will with a viciousness no other character had displayed before. Nate left the team without warning because he was mean, and petty, and absolute the worst. HE TOLD THE PRESS ABOUT TEDDY'S MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS. Fuck him and fuck the writers for just sweeping it all under the rug, giving us hours of that stupid Jade/ Nate romance no one cares about and treating him with the whole 'boys will be boys' mentality.

JFC, he did not have sex with her!! He covered her with a blanket and went to his room to sleep! What do you guys want, to watch the entire an accelerated video of the night passing to prove that nothing happened? This is nonsense. The entire Rebeca/Dutchman plot was not written, directed, shot or acted in that way, and, on top of that, this is Ted Lasso, a show where this would never happen. I don't get people are so pissed off by Rebecca rom-com. Could it have been beter written? Sure, but then a shit ton of stuf should be better written. Yeah, yeah, it's absurd that Rebecca would no know the damn bike line, fall in the canal, lose her phone and stay there, but you know what is absurd too? That stupid pillow fight that woud never ever happen. I can see a woman, in our real life, making a spur of the moment decision and staying for dinner without her phone (something a woman Rebecca's age has experienced before), etc etc. I cannot, for the life of me, see a team of 20's something footballers, into a pillow fight in public (sort of). They would be chasing girls in some bar/party. It's funny because some of you see Ted going back to Kansas, when for me it was all about 'you can't really go home anymore'. I think that if goes back to US, it will be to sort custody and have Henry with him in UK. Highlights for me: - How all the Dutches were a bit Jan Maas, saying the truth (his scene with the reporter was hilarious; - Isaac going all youtube coach on his 'we have to stick together'; - The whole Van Gogh experience. As someone who has cried in that same museum a few times, I can absolutely relate to how touching is to see his art; - Roy and Jaimie; - Will and Higgins; - Trent and Colin (so well done). I really wish they had gone to Jan Maas' cousin party and Keeley plot was a big nothing for me.

Dutch boatman is fucking hot, go, Rebecca, go! I'm sorry, why are we complaining her plot was too rom-com? Ted Lasso is still coaching a team that is like, 12 games later without a victory? He would have been sacked a long time ago. Football players having a pillow fact? Never happening in real life. The show IS a rom-com, and people are nipticking this? Pluze. The most unbelievable thing about Rebbeca Getting Dutched was not she staying at the boat, having a shower etc - which for me is pretty much only a step away from going home from someone you met at a bar. The really absurd thing there is trying to sell that an educated, travelled woman like her doesn't know she was at the bike line. Something they have in UK, too. No way she is getting pregnant. Dutchman has a daugther and she is becoming a stepmother. It couldn't have been spelled louder.

Whoa, you absolutely can have a family and be a mother without getting pregnant and giving birth. You can adopt. You can have a surrogate. You can be a stepmother. You can raise your nephews. You can be a mother figure in several different ways that do not involve pregnancy and birth. I'm not conviced the Doctor was telling Rebecca she cannot have children, but I'm going to be pissed if he says she can. Didn't she try with Rupert? Are we going to assume she can now? The moment Beard said they could fly to Kansas and beat whoever bullied Henry I knew Henry was the bully. Roy's speech was fantastic. Zava was... this? Kinda of a waste of time and opportunity; he didn't give us anything new, did he? We've seen the team like that before in season 1, not motivated, down, losing etc. What was the point if we didn't learn anything knew about our players? The actor was good though. Zoreaux checking Zava's glutes was hilarious, as well as Roy and Colin. Keeley being bi has been hit since the very beggining there, so zero surprises there. It's a bad idea to sleep with your boss, but like they handed Sam/Rebecca I hope it just pass: Jack had her fun and is gone. Shandy is trash, and Barbara is unsufferable. She really needs to lighten up. The probleme with Keeley PR as well as Zava is that those plots did not connect us with the team and Ted. And this show is all about Ted and the team. I'm sorry, what is that speacial about that fucking table? What is the point of an empty table? Is the restaurant bussines so great in England that the owners can afford to have an empty table all day? This plot is so fucking stupid, I really can't. I don't care about Nate, the manager, the model or Jade. that

That could be. And being some sort of father figure to Henry.

Zara has been around for 15 years, Colin cannnot be the first gay player he has met, and I'm sure he has played with closetedfor the public/out for the team or part of the team players before. The man is an walking ego, but he is a pro, I don't buy he would slip like that.

Shandy wouldn't be that stupid, would se? She was a WAG before, she knows how it works. No way she doesn't know she cannot out a player without serious consequences for her, the player and everybody envolved. I also don't think Zava will out Colin, he doesn't really vibe that way, though who knows. Colin has been extremely careless - making out in public? Come on. I think it he will be busted and we'll see the team entering the field for some big game wearing a rainbow arm band or something like that. I'm 110% sure that half the players already figured it out. Is it too aburd to think that maybe, just maybe, Michelle asks Henry if he would like to live in England with Ted while she herself sort what kind of life she wants, what relationship she wants with Jake? Like, maybe she realizes Henry missed his dad a lot or maybe Henry himself asks to spend one year abroad with his father. I'm zero spoiled for this show, but if I had to guess: - Rebecca/Trent in a commited relationship; - Ted/Sassy dating slowly; - Ted staying in UK; - One of the players, probably Sam, moving to a stronger team, but still being a Richmond fave (like Roy will always be a Chelsea favorite); - Shady Shandy becoming Rupert mistress; - Bex and Rupert getting a divorce and he becoming the tabloids joke this time when she gets the club and a much younger boyfriend; - Some sort of long and overdue homage to Higgins; - Roy joining the Diamond Dogs; - Roy and Keeley back together; - Keeley becoming the boss we know she can be. As for Nate, I don't see how he can come back to Richmond and work with some of the people he bullied there. I know, I know Jamie himself bullied Nate, as well as Colin and Isaac, but, IMO, Jamie, Colin and Isaac had the locker/mob mentality while Nate has a mean/vicious streak they didn't. Bullying IS bullying, so they are all wrong, and should know better, but I see in Nate else.

Eh, I really don't think we need Bex on the show, and I don't think Rebecca and Bex have much in common. What I would like to see and what I think would make a good story, is Bex and Rupert getting a divorce, Bex being resentful and angry that Rupert cheated on her and Rebecca telling Bex to let it go, to just take him to the cleaners, get her money and let all that anger go, because as long as she's angry Rupert will have power over her - which is exactly the lesson Rebecca has to realize herself and let this fucking dick go. It would be an awesome moment if Rebecca could really pass on Bex (and Bex accept it) that no man is worth your bitterness. And then Rebecca freeing herself from Rupert. The power was always within herself. Nate can fuck himself. I wanted to wipe the smirk of his face when the restaurant manager said 'from a manager to another' and he replied 'not quite the same'. Fuck you, you asshole. He can not be nice to the people he thinks is beneath him, he bullied Will, the players when he became coach, etc. Nate is awful. No way these three bags would feed a team. I don't think Rupert really knows what happened with Nate/Ted, and the whole Rupert/Mr. Mannion is shitty, but based on what he knows, the advice he gave Nate about how to treat Ted ('you say hello, look him in the eye, shake his hand and then beat him') was actually quite good. Zava is a farse, he never apologized to Zoreaux, and he is always deflecting. He is good at what does - he excells at it - but he is not a team person, which is not to mean he is not a team player. I don't think the show is going there, but it would nice if he actually became a bit more of one of the boys. On the other hand I resent that in three episodes I know more about Zava than I know about Isaac, Jan Maas and Dani. Loved Roy and Jamie. Shandy can go now. She thinks she's the boss, but she's not and she's actually hurting Keeley's job. Why they are making Keeley stupid? The whole point of the character is how smart and quick thinking she is, she may not have gone to Oxford (aham, Barbara), but she was never dumb. No way she wouldn't have Googled Jack and the other big bosses of the company that funded her or checked Linkedn. Hannah's 'I believe in you' delivery was hilarious. Ted, for all his shortcomings as a football coach, for all he doesn't know a lot of football after two seasons of coaching football, knows his players, knows his is team, and is an excellent judge of people. He knew showing the tape would do no good. Loved his chat - more like a monologue with Michelle. He need to say these things and not bottle up his feelings and cover it up with endless jokes; like Sassy said he's a mess, but different than last season, this time he's actually aware of that and trying to work on things. I love Sassy. I really wish that somehow things would work bettween her and Ted in the future. Ten bucks that Colin is getting outed in two episodes, top. I know some think the show is sad and yadda yadda yadda, but I think it's a natural flow for the charcters, the story. And I think that they are sort of hitting rock bottom, maybe next episode too, and then it's up and move forward until they wrap the final season on a high note Ted Lasso style - as in not champions, but still in the league, still playing, a silly family, etc. 'We're playing like Italians', 'I know, it's awesome' - best two lines of the entire episode, LOL.

I noticed it too. I'm not going to be surprised when they hook up or when we learn that Trent has, I dunno, two kids from a previous marriage or is a single dad. There is no way they are doing a 'Rebecca gets pregnant or tries to get pregnant' storyline, which quite frankly would be wrong for where the character stands and the show. I also think the whole Sam and Rebeca thing is over, and the chef is there so Sam can move on - Rebeca clearly has or at least decided to end the romantic relationship. I don't think Trent is going to out Colin, but I think Colin is going to get outed, hence the 'I'm a strong, capable man' line. He is not being discret parking that Ferrari in front of his boyfriend's (?) house or making out in an alley where anyone could see them. I also think the team will accept him easily. Real life football is extremely homophobic, but a lot in this show is as far from reality as possible, so... Zava is a manipulative narcisist who, so far, showed some amount of respect for only two people - Rebeca, who didn't cowered for him and scremead to him to get out of her desk, and Roy, because he sure recognized who is the Alpha dog there. Stealing the goal from Jaimie and acting like he did nothing was such a shitty movie. I don't think there is a problem per se to plan your game around your best player (s), everybody out there did/does that. But like everybody out there knows, you don't that by just supressing every other striker/forward who can also score. And make no mistake, in real life these would want to score too - why would a striker like Jamie and Dani be content to be sidelined and just pass the ball to Zava when they both make a lot of goals for Richmond? Jan Maas, for example is wingback, it is makes no difference for him if the tem is playing 4-4-3 o 4-3-4m but there is no way at least one third of the team is not not happy with that. Dani hair was fantastic. Sandy is going to fuck up soon and I hated how she talked to Roy. Sassy was joking about Zava and I loved how she immediately called Dr. Jake a fraud lol. Speaking about the man, you know Dr. Jake was a dick when he wanted to answer the phone to prank the person on the other side. Ted needs to realize his marrige is over, and would be over no matter whoever was their therapist.

Of course it is Zlatan. Too bad they won't have a Mestri or a Crispiano. Oh, boy. That would have been fun.

I think the map was supposed to be a poetic license, like Henry's trip back home and not his flight. FWIW, when he was leaving with the air company lady, they did call his flight, 2492, with service to JFK. Yeah, the child playing Henry is not brilliant, but it is ok, his screen time is limited, so I'm okay with that. I actually found his line about politics hilarious. Ted questioning what he's doing in London has everything to do with his family/Henry. He misses his kid, he is a different person when he is around. Just compare his apartment when Doc Sharon entered there last season and now post-Henry, even with all the toys around: when his son is around you can see it's a true home for him not just someplace he uses to sleep. I was never a fan of Nate and of course Rupert only hired him to undermine/hurt Rebecca/Ted. No Premier League team would hire as lead coach someone who until two years ago, like the reporter pointed out, was washing other temas’ underwear. And of course no Premier League player would accept that kind of treatment from that same coach. I know we are supposed to go full 'suspend belief' here, but please. At the same time they same time they want us to believe that Nathan doesn’t have money for a better car. I never cared about Nate and my dislike for him only grew with time. I think he is unsufferable, and I don't really think you can compare whatever redemption arc they have in store for him to Rebecca. Rebecca wanted her team to fail and that's why she hired Ted, but she was never abusive or verbally violent towards people, she also never bullied anyone. The easy way would be to compare Nate to Jamie, who bullied Nate himself and ws a dick, but in my book Nate is much worse, because Nate is being a dick to everybody, while Jamie had -3-4 targets. Also, and I think this is what really separates them, IMO, Jamie was a bully when he was at the top and when he was at his lowest, you know? He was awful, but he was true to whom he was back then, if it makes any sense. Nate became a bully when he gaigned some amount of power - power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely, and yadda yadda yadda. Ted Lasso is not that kind of show, but I wish Nate's endgame would be coaching mediocre teams from the third league, kind without any once of the warmth and companinshio he had at Richmond. Count me on team Rupert is financing Keeley's PR firm, though it would be awesome if the money was coming from Rebecca. I don't like how dumb they made Keeley this ep, no way she doesn't know what a CFO is. Not worried at all about Keeley and Roy. I'm just irritated that wer are going to sit this contrived shit.

What choice? Ellie didn't chose to be on that operating room. Marlene told Joel that they didn't tell Ellie what was going to happen. MARLENE took away Ellie's agency when she drugged her and strapped her on a table so a doctor could open her brain. Joel was saving her life. Should he have killed a bunch of people while doing that? Up to discussion. But he wasn't the one who took away her agency. And speaking about agency, Ellie is 14. She is a kid.Yes, a kid who has seen and lived a lot, but a kid. Can she really consent to die? If she were my kid the answer would be no, fuck the rest of the world. AND, let's be honest, there is no way that in the few hours Joel was unconcious they did all the tests that lead to the conclusion they had to open her brain. That's bullshit. That's utter bullshit. They didn't have the time or the equipments - remenber, before Joel entered the surgical room, they were wondering if the power was going to hold up. And you want to convince me that they had the means to do real science? As if. I'm not doctor, but, I dunno,I would try a blood tranfusion first, see if someone volunteered for the cause. Because, you know, it's very easy to open a kid's brain, but let's see who is up to get her blood and see if it works after being biten by an infected. @PurpleTentacleis absolutely right that Druckermnan had 10 years to perfect that ending; he had at least 2 to fix it for TV and he had Mazin, who is an amazing writer, to help him with the task. It's past time for them to understand that sometimes a story has be adapted to a different medium, in the better sense of the world.

Of course they thought that because that's what make sense. You live in a post apocalyptic world where there is ONE person who is imune to a virus who wiped almost all humanity and your plan is to open her brain? That's the most stupid idea ever. Study her blood, take her spinal fluid, collect her saliva, etc. I mean, it we are going to be brutally honest here, Ellie would probably spend the rest of her life locked in that hospital being tested and I assume eventually they would want samples from her brain (something she couldn't have seen coming, but Joel should). But it sounds plain dumb and extremely simplistic to just cut her brain, killing her to find a cure when you don't even know if her blood can really help in any way. Heck, you don't even know if Ellie spits on your face three times if you are imune. From all we know she became imune when e her mom was bitten giving birth and the virus was passed through the blood (something Marlene knew), so why not explore that? I'm not even going to enter the whole 'the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few' (TM, Spock) debate, because Ellie is a kid and she cannot make that kind of decision. She has no agency for that, so fuck you Marlene. Ellie knows Joel is lying. She knows. And Joel knows she knows. And they are both accepting that because they love each other and are all that they have left. I knew what was going to happen because I was spoiled for the major points of the game and I'm utterly disappointed that they are not going to deviate from the game at all. They are very very lucky that they have Bella Ramsay and Pedro Pascal, because the story doesn't really hold itsef on TV. Loved loved the giraffes.
