The Ted Lasso/Led Tasso appreciation thread

Damn have you already watched this weeks episode?

No. that's fine.



And am I the only one that says I'm going to go poopay and their non watching spouse looks at them funny?

Great, now I can repost my comment about saying "why not, it's already a mess of a season that makes no sense".

It's a weird LGBTQ hail mary of a 3rd season only to make one storyline feel like it's 2002 and the other be like "Hot lady is actually a bitch". I mean, it do be that sometimes, but I would like to see more representation.  

And so neatly fixed with Rebecca swooping in with funding lol

Look, we're being forced all the wrong OTPs here.

I'm... not liking the last few episodes as much as I loved the earlier seasons.

I’m only about a third of the way through the latest episode, but it really should have come with a trigger warning for children of outwardly sociable but inwardly damaged mothers who won’t go to therapy. Every interaction between Ted and his mom so far has me on the verge of a panic attack.

THANK YOU FOR THE WARNING.

Same warning for "Mrs. Davis" if that's your damage, though the mom isn't outwardly sociable out all. But the storyline / dynamic was cathartic and not triggering overall, so I still recommend. 

I thought it dropped fridays! Did it change recently or something?

I think it was always mid week. Yellowjackets is fridays.

def hoping keeley says to roy she doesn't want to get back into a serious relationship with him, but i'm 50/50 of what will actually happen.

so i guess: roy as head coach and then beard + nate taking roy's spot?? i don't see beard as head coach, but i also don't see him working "for" nate, even after the forgiveness speech.

Ah, the Ted stuff with his mom hit very hard for me. I agree his mom is probably nicer than my mom - a "thank you/fuck you" sort of conversation would probably end with my mom threatening to kill herself, like she did in a couple of arguments we've had in the past couple of decades. But there were enough shades there of how we interact that it was a pretty emotional watch. And while Ted's mom is super-nice, I saw it as toxic in the same way Ted's "CHEERFUL AT ALL COSTS ZOMG" attitude has been shown to be not a healthy way of dealing with pain over the course of the show. I mean, she came there primarily to tell him that Henry misses him and she doesn't think he should be over there in the UK, but it took days and days and a big, emotional confrontation from Ted to get her to just say it out loud. Passive aggression is still aggression, you know?

Anyway. Again, I do agree that Ted's mom isn't the worst, but it was still fairly triggering for me. As my parents have aged into their late 70s, I've thought once or twice about what a weird mixture of emotions I'm going to feel when my mom dies, and that "thank you/fuck you" dichotomy really hit home.

I also loved Beard's scene with Nate. Strong work from Brendan Hunt.

Another Sam/Rebecca moment, which...ugh. Enough, already.

On the other hand, the will-they-or-won't-they with Roy and Keeley is killing me. Yes, I know most folks 'round here don't share my Roy/Keeley shipdom, but I'm riding it down throwing buckets overboard, damnit. I have a feeling they won't end up together, and I'm big sad about it.

Whistle, whistle!

I wouldn’t have cared if Rebecca ended up with boat guy, but the meet at the airport was dumb as hell. Lol
