Ted Lasso | 1.03 -> 3.12
I want to talk about Jamie’s wholeass depressive episode and the fascinating way he (fails to) process and cope with stuff and things because like? That press conference??? His sudden refusal to accept he’s an important teammate who contributes a heck of a lot, saying his goal shouldn’t have even counted?? Not wanting to take pictures with fans??? Saying “I hadn’t even thought about that” when Keeley says his Dad is going to be at the game, even though it was clearly all he’d been thinking about??? THE SAD SUITCASE THING? god it was SO much I need 100 fanfics that are going to tackle this in a way even angstier than the show. immediately.

#i’ll take the ambiguous but domestic ot3 happily ever after, thanks
I spent that whole board meeting SO STRESSED that they were going to humanize Rupert and then to see his entire face fall as he realised what he’d lost just YES
That is how you do it!
That is the Lasso way!
THAT IS TOTAL FOOTBALL!
stealing @sweetrevelation‘s tags here because that is exactly my point!
Rupert has been such a one dimensional Villain the whole time that to see the show bring out his humanity so his downfall is a loss to HIMSELF and not a vindictive spiteful party on the viewers end (okay maybe a little vindictive) is how Ted Lasso as a show operates!
Winning against Rupert was never going to be as satisfying as seeing him recognise what he lost. We would never have complained if they did it the other way but I am so grateful the show decided to play it the way they did!
another excellent moment: in the locker room when the guys were like “well statistically like 10% of people are gay so there’s probably more than one gay person in here right now” and EVERYBODY looked at Jamie and when he realized why they were all staring at him he was like
he one hundred percent said this just to be a little prick
me: i can’t relate to the dead grandparent john mulvaney bit because i was a broken arm kid
j.r.: did you know that there’s a link betwren kids that were under extreme mental distress and kids that wished for broken bones to have physical wounds that matched their mental wounds?
me, sobbing:
Ted! It’s going to work!
Ted not knowing what he’s still doing in London. Trent realising exactly what he’s been doing all along.
i think my fav part this episode was jamie and roy still agreeing to train the next day at 4 am. bc it was never actually about being better than zava!! if it was only about that they could quit now, since jamie is probably back to being the best player on the team by default! it’s about jamie wanting to be the best version of himself! in every way! for himself!!
#you know how we got used to romcoms and that I legit thought Nate was gonna kiss her#BUT NO#HE WENT FOR A SWEET WHOLESOME HUG#(which if you squint#is a growth from when he kissed Keeley?) (via @trent-crimm)
I genuinely was anticipating a big sweeping romantic kiss and the fact that we didn’t - that we got the comforting cuddle and a focus on Nate’s very vulnerable expression - just confirms this scene wasn’t just about Nate’s relationship with Jade and how much he cares for her and doesn’t want to cheat on her. (Although that’s awesome too.) The guy clearly needs a moment of being looked after - this isn’t just an ‘I came to spend time with you because I love you!’ moment, so much as it’s a ‘This situation is bad and it’s worse than I thought and the person I thought was amazing whose validation I’ve been hanging my hat on for so long is actually a sleazy prick and I fucked up and there are tough choices just barrelling down the road in my future’ moment.
All I’m saying is yes, I’m painfully invested in Nate/Jade but also NATE REFORMATION ARC.
