While we’re at it: Richard Chew, at the time Oscar-winning editor of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, was the lead editor on A New Hope and not only came up with the trench run as an alternate ending but also created it nearly whole cloth out of barely-useable footage.

Fortunately, both Marcia Lucas and Polly Platt are well represented In Peter Biskind’s Easy Riders and Raging Bulls. In the book, Marcia Lucas remembers she thought Star Wars was kind of kiddie stuff and expected Scorsese’s New York, New York would be a bigger hit. In early 1977, that didn’t seem too implausible.

When I saw this headline, I thought it was a rare occasion when some credit was being given to a woman for her contribution to renowned movies of the 1970s, in this case Marcia Lucas. She was an incredible editor and helped George shape the original story both before and after shooting. But no... Another name that few…

I guess “Billy D. Williams” is technically accurate, but...c’mon.

“Ted being folksy? Uh, that’s kinda central to his character?”

Yeah, it’s really wild how that just keeps never coming up. It’s so weird that this show spends so much time on dating and relationships but never addresses any of the obvious ethical problems in certain relationships.

Funny to see that the review posted three hours ago has been completely rewritten and still sadly isn’t much better. You had so much wrong the first time, and was flipping through my deleted items to see if I’d perhaps read a review from another source, but no. It was definitely AV Club.

Nothing about the Michelle/Ted-moving-on storyline works because it’s overshadowed by how insanely gross and unethical it is that a therapist and marriage counsellor is dating his former patient. That dude is a straight up predator and the show doesn’t seem to realise it.

I’m genuinely not sure you’ve watched the show before this season, because most of the things you’re complaining about have always been there. Ted being folksy? Uh, that’s kinda central to his character? The weird comment about how people don’t know Grohl learned to play drums on the pillows? It’s not like the dude…

Judging by this review and some of the other comments below, I feel like I must be in the minority in liking this episode (and season 3 generally).

Well, this was not a great episode. And as I finished watching, I reflected on how there seems to be a Law of Diminishing Returns with this writers’ group - both here with Ted Lasso and with their Lasso-adjacent Apple TV+ offering Shrinking - a show I initially loved but abandoned halfway through the season, even with…

there was a plot point in the recent apple movie ‘ghosted’ about using apple’s own air tags to essentially stalk someone, and it almost comes off as advocating for it in the movie itself.

I actually liked that team talk about the ethics of the “Great Awankening”, and how anyone who chooses to look at those photos and videos is just as culpable as the hackers who released them. What I find curious though that there is no mention of the responsibilities and security failings of the service these photos…

I will say that Jamie's arc continues to be one of the best, possibly the best, in the whole series.

There are times the show gets better about this, and times it doesn’t.

Erik, you’re an old timer and we know how you roll. But your post was surface level pedantry. I long for the days of quality comments from you but you are truly the bottom of the barrel here.

“Last week I was thrilled the show went back to its season 1 roots” - C+
“This show has completely lost its way” - C

Yeah, it’s not just the way the show has drifted further and further not only from being about soccer, but from being an actual ensemble. And one of the regular commenters (I’m so bad with names) has been on point in observing that the writing for Keeley’s character has increasingly reduced her to her sexuality and…

The only thing that’s lost its way here is the quality of the reviewers on this site. Truly the bottom of the barrel here.

Where’s the discussion of Jamie’s speech in the locker room and overall character development? His transition from showboat to team player is one of the highlights of the series. Watching him give the assist rather than trying to score the goal himself was one of the top moments of the episode.
