Hard to peg what’s going on with Keely and Jack. I kinda thought it would actually be cool to see a love triangle happen between Roy/Jack/Keely and possibly Jamie. Just because in life (I’m male) I’ve been in a situation where I’ve competed for the attention of a bi-sexual woman against a hot bi-curious female and…

The top screen grab could not possibly look sillier. Surely this is from a HS production of the Taming of the Shrew.

Making a sequel to a beloved, quirky comedy twenty years later is a bold move, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off.

Well, one person’s “piece of shit” is another person’s emotionally-challenged human, I suppose. There are good people in the world who, through the circumstances of their upbringing, have defense mechanisms that make them lash out at people. It’s not innate cruelty, but innate insecurity and the weight of a massive…

Nate didn’t have a heel-turn. He was a prick from day one. Even moreso than Jamie because at least Jamie is kind of daft and his meanness comes from his selfishness, not an innate cruelty towards others that Nate exhibits. When he got promoted in season one, and they were messing with him by causing confusion about…

Yeah, I can’t figure out if Jack is doing all this through overcompensation or artifice either. Because I like Jodi Balfour, I want to believe the latter, but my loyalty to S1 Keeley has me thinking otherwise. It’s a common tactic for social climbers and the uber-successful to make note of details and then use that…

Also cheered when Nate went into the bathroom and didn’t spit.  Knew he was going home to make a box.  Somehow knew the magazines in question were about pegging.  Fake Coach Beard was amazing.  Roy’s “I hate what you’ve done to me” was perfection.

I have to think it will be much tougher on writers this time, with all that inventory of content available.

I think they need to strike now before those AIs get even better, to protect the future of the industry.

I question the wisdom of striking right after companies start releasing AIs that can do 80% of your job nearly instantly. 

This is how I felt in 8th grade when two of my best friends went to third base with cute boys and I was still waiting for my first kiss. The betrayal, the jealousy, the self-loathing. Beware, incels. It’s a short path from french kissing to giving blow jobs to randos.

...is more interesting to me than seeing what needless sitcom-y setups the writers have cooked up for the show’s ancillary characters.

Yeah don’t most work place comedies not really focus on the actual work that it is set in?

Comment from my wife after last night’s episode: “Who knew that an episode that kicked off with a pegging reference and continued on to footballers with red string around their gentlemen’s regions would be so great?”

Ted Lasso is not a show about football any more than The Office is a show about paper products. It’s a show about people who happen to be in the football business.

No love for Will dressed as Beard? Him sitting at Beard’s desk reading Beard’s book was my favourite joke of the episode.

If crappy reality TV (and the rise of Trump’s popularity) was the unwanted outcome of the writer’s strike, what will be this one?

Pretty much. Craig has admitted as much over the years.

*Looks at the enormous backlog of shows on my ‘to watch’ list*

Considering there’s like 10x as much TV as there was back then, I’d wager if writers strike, things could be much worse.
