  1. How I think the series ends, after yet another couple huge Tedbecca endgame hints. A bit of a big stretch, but if Tedbecca is endgame, its possible; Ted is leaving and going home to Kansas, to be close(r) to Henry & his mom. Rebecca realizes she loves him and doesn't want to be without him. So she buys out the current ownership of the Kansas City MLS club and becomes the new owner & convinces Ted to take over as manager. I'm very skeptical of that actually happening - her buying and taking over SKC - but unless they throw a big curveball and Ted stays in England at the end of the series, then Tedbecca can't happen.
  2. Those two scenes/hints were very on the nose, imo. Does it necessarily mean they're setting up a Tedbecca endgame? No, but pairing that with Ted pulling out the green matchbook a couple episodes ago as well - combined with Ted receiving Rebecca's text to call her, at the same moment that the busker is singing the Hey Jude lyrics "remember to let her into you heart", in the same episode - and its getting really hard to ignore or think differently. It was mentioned above the reappearance of the green matchbook could mean Amsterdam, however the matchbook paired with the little green army man and to me that indicates Ted instead of the Dutch houseboat guy - if Rebecca actually has an endgame pairing.
  3. To be fair, it feels like he's already done that a couple episodes ago. Not sure why this series is still called Ted Lasso, seeing as how old guys guarding the "side doors" at AFC Richmond get more screen time than he does.
  4. ^ I couldn't agree more about points 1 & 3, @Thalia. The whole KJPR & Jack felt contrived and manufactured, pretty much from the start. And it was written in because Roy & Keeley just couldn't stay together the whole time, for creative reasons I guess? Even though I wish there was more of them together, it really highlights the rapport that Rebecca and Keeley have when we do get scenes of them together this season. Shandy can stay gone, too. Also think its way too late in the season/series to bring her back to create strife now.
  5. I'm on the fence with this one. Would I watch more? Almost undoubtedly. But I also don't want it to go on just for the sake of existing. When shows go well past their expiration dates just because the viewing numbers are there, it's usually a bad thing. As long as they do a good job of tying mostly everything up by the end of 3.12, then I'm good either way.
  6. I agree. And it reminds me of that scene from last week when Ted is freaking out because he's sure that Dr. Jake taking Michelle to Paris is to propose. They had a Diamond Dogs session about it. During said DD session, Roy yelled something from the other room, and the guys were all like "C'mere Roy, c'mon boy! *whistling sounds to get a dog to come around*". I couldn't help but chuckle.
  7. On most other shows I tend to watch, a character like Higgins would probably annoy the hell out of me. But on this show, he brings out a few chuckles. (not verbatim) Keeley: Ok. Since Jack appears to have officially dumped me, let it rip on what you didn't like about her. Rebecca: uhhhh.... Higgins: Ooh! I have one. Whenever we met, she squeezed my hand too hard on handshakes. Grrrr [while imitating squeezing a hand during a handshake]. I mean we get it, you're friendly! The looks on Keeley and Rebecca's faces during & immediately following that little monologue were priceless.
  8. Maybe, maybe not. I held off as long as I could - initially tried for the whole season, to binge afterwards - but after bingeing the first 8 episodes, the first 2/3rds of the season still dragged and was more-than-a-little unenjoyable; especially the constantly too many Nate scenes in every episode.
  9. This episode was a definite uptick from most of this season - showing Richmond actually playing winning soccer! yay!! - but I'm sooo tired of the Nate/Rupert & West Ham stuff. I can't, nor won't, root for either one and every time the scene cuts to them, I just want to FF and get back to the actual reason(s) I watch Ted Lasso. I think the perfect outcome for them both is Nate outing Rupert for the cheating & big bag of human excrement he is, causing him to lose another FC - via settlement - to the woman he was involved with at the time. But Nate's image gets tanked in the process. So, Nate does the right thing (for the redemption arc), however he ends up with little to nothing also.
  10. I'm not quite sure on how to read the manipulation Rupert was trying to pull with Nate when he invited him out to 'guy's night out ... including two women'. Was it that he wanted Nate to do so much better than Jade (very similar situation to buying the new car) or was he espousing his 'new day, new lay' views about how he sees women & what he feels is deserved by him because of his money? Either way, Rupert is one big walking pile of shit.
  11. The smile Rebecca had as Roy was leaving her office, after she yelled at him to 'grow up & stop letting life pass by because of insecurities' ... Rebecca's 'scheming' to get Roy to wake up and go after Keeley, to get back with her, was about a subtle as a brick to the face on that one.
  12. Could definitely see him doing something like that. Or something else possibly happening is Rupert makes an obvious pass at Jade - wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if its with Nate right there - and she rudely rejects him. Then Rupert takes his reaction to said rejection out on Nate and Nate takes out his resulting reaction out on Jade. They fight and breakup. Likely Nate's last true road bump on the way to the final destination of his redemption arc.
  13. Thinking of the few Broncos fans I know, I found much more amusement in that than I should have.
  14. All depends on how long the current WGA strike lasts.
  15. I agree above about how Isaac ripping Colin's phone out of his hands was a bad look. I get it. Yeah, they had to get the "Colin's gay!" story line out there somehow, but that played out as way more of a playground bully picking on someone than a concerned team captain/teammate.
  16. I don't think there's ever been much doubt about that. The show even pounded that home with that whole bit of Dr. Jacob silently freaking out when he realized it was Ted on the other end of the phone a couple episodes ago. However, I think a bit that is lost in all this is what it says about Michelle, too. She has to know that dating her marriage counselor, even if after nearly 2 years of divorce, is wrong - on a moral level, at the very least. Like the quoted above, she poured herself out to this guy so he knows exactly how to play up on what she wants in & from a partner. Not hard to be 'the rebound' when she's basically written the book on what her ideals and desires for a relationship are; a 'book' that Dr. Jake's been reviewing & studying for (at least) 3-4 years now.
  17. Re: the Nate stuff and not acknowledging Henry's waving. Nate deserves most of it - IE, reaping what he's sowed - but he knows that he's now Rupert's little bitch. And the last thing Rupert is going to want to see is Nate 'playing nice' with Ted & his kid. Was it shitty that he didn't give a quick little wave back to Henry? Absolutely. But he also knows that Rupert has got an eagle eye on every last little thing he does. I am in NO way making excuses for Nate. He alone put himself in that position. But its easy to see why he'd want to protect himself and his position as 'gaffer' at West Ham, as well.
  18. I'm thinking Keeley and Jack are likely officially done, as a couple, and considering Jack seems to care much more about her personal image than anything else, I also see her pulling all her funding/backing of Keeley and KJPR since Keeley has no intention of going through with publishing the release that Jack's dad's lawyers came up with. Thus, Keeley will be back at AFC Richmond by either the end of next week's new episode or shortly into the next. Also likely that Rebecca will get Keeley set up with her own firm again before the season/series ends.
  19. IF so, count me out. I'd consider it if it was a joint show focusing on 'both Nate & Keeley, separately' sort of thing, as it might mean getting to see more of Roy Kent, but a show focusing on just Nate? Noping the hell out immediately.
  20. I'm not strongly predicting this, but I could see one of the closing scenes of the series being Ted in Rebecca's office to resign - for whatever reason, and for the 3rd straight season finale - and she asks if he can't think of any reason at all to want to stick around, before they share a heart-eyed look & she kisses him. Would be way too easy and predictable, but I am in no way ruling it out.
  21. I honestly don't care either way on T/R, but I don't see them actually 'getting together' until towards the very end of the series finale - IF it happens. They're still pretty far apart right now to make it believable. Hell, they haven't shared much screen time at all since the Zava signing, and especially not in a way that could relate romantic tension. Closest they've come, in some time, was their phone convo during the "Hey Jude" sequence.
  22. I think a pretty big misstep for and in this season was pulling Keeley away to her own gig. So instead of sharing the majority of her screen time with the AFC Richmond core, we get dragged away to witness the most boring office & office workers in all the UK. It also feels like the only reason they did that was to create the plot device of forcing Roy/Keeley apart so they can either come back to an endgame status or a way to make Jamie/Keeley endgame. IE, that whole subplot doesn't feel organic but instead manufactured.
  23. Its not really negativity, on my part. I just feel like waaay too much time is spent in these S3 episodes - so far, at least - on stuff that is either not very entertaining or drama that doesn't effect the main AFC Richmond core. And this is especially noticeable as we enter the final 3rd of the final season. Another kind of big thing, is that since shortly after Zava retired, the series stopped spending any time actually showing Richmond winning on the 4-game streak. Just voice-overs and shots of the standings, or else we wouldn't know anything about what's been going on.
  24. Ted pulling out the green matchbook - at the pub with Dr. Jake & Michelle - is either a non-subtle Tedbecca hint or a 'reconciliation & getting back together with Michelle' hint. I only offer that about Ted & Michelle because of how they got on at the pub as well as Michelle not having the engagement ring on at the end - along with her verbatim repeating of the line about 'Dave Grohl practicing drums on pillows' on the way out, further cementing how much alike she and Ted are. I'm indifferent to Tedbecca, but please God NO on a Ted/Michelle re-connection endgame!
  25. Gotta be honest ..... Someone mentioned above that the show is moving out of the Dark Forest. God, I flipping hope so. Because this season (so far) - as well as the majority of S2 - has been really fucking depressing, at least on most of the relationships and/or personal situations front. Either get everyone to their happy places or spend much more screen time on Richmond winning matches. In fact, please spend more time on the actual sport regardless of the other story lines! Honestly, I've reached the point that I plain just don't even care what the endgame relationships, or lack thereof, end up as. With so much drama every episode - for most of the last 20 eps - it feels like this show is continually tap dancing on the line between being what its actually billed as and masquerading as a 'daytime soap'.
