Anyway, Feige’s two-stepping around controversy continued as he said he’s “all for amicable solutions” when it came to the ScarJo suit. Giving a milquetoast soundbite is Feige’s superpower.

He said an obvious misunderstanding was an obvious misunderstanding. Sounds reasonable to me.

It was clumsily-worded, certainly, but to describe the Shang-Chi thing as a “controversy” seems like a bit of a stretch. 

Asked to comment on the “Changing the ‘Captain America Twitter Avatar to Captain Carter” controversy, Feige said, “What in the Goddamned hell are you talking about?”

It would be hilarious if one of the dead baseball players in this version was Joe Morgan.

An odd thing that made this episode hit me really hard emotionally was the use of silence and empty spaces. The way that Christmas days are almost always eerily quiet, with the streets largely deserted, is so integral to my memories of Christmas — especially the sad ones or years when I was alone. When you’re outside…

Shame it won’t be you covering it, but at least you can still stop by in the comments (right?) and drop quotes from the episode like the rest of us do because the Stray Observations can only be so long.

Hearing Andrea Anders say the name “Ted” just makes me wish for more episodes of “Better Off Ted”. Petition to change the name of Ted Lasso to Better off Ted because I think we’d all be better off if the there more people like TL

I really can’t believe there has been no mention at all of Ted’s comment after Rebecca dumps that wad of cash into the buskers’ case. “That’s what happens when you tinkle next to John Holmes” was one of the most bizarre pop culture references Ted has made that also reveals a little bit of his his background. I’m also…

I hadn’t considered that Snopes had joined the rank of “fake news” with the Trumpers, but my first thought as well was that it’s unfortunate this happened, given what I thought to be a pretty good reputation of theirs. Obviously it’s not the be-all/end-all of information, but it’s reliably sourced, and the tone and…

This might be the thing that makes me want to have kids

This was kind of the quintessential Ted Lasso episode.

Cheddar’s no common bitch. He’d find his own way out.

So you could say that his behaviour was...

“I think you might be dying...” was the line delivery of the year. I can honestly say I’ve never seen anyone portray one’s soul leaving their body as well as Brett Goldstein did there.

Since the AV Club is really just where the Onion sends their less funny writers as a sort of farm team, the proper label is “claimed satire”. Nobody actually believes anything they read here. Especially the comments.

Phoebe’s offscreen parents sure do get to outsource a lot of their work to her uncle and his girlfriend.

Even if I haven’t always agreed with you every time, it’s been a pleasure reading your reviews of the show over the years. Congratulations and best wishes going forward LaToya!
