God, when did all of you hating on this show become so fucking jaded?

I’m going to miss these people. I have a thing for stories that show a character “from outside” come into a community of people and change their trajectory through time, silliness and heartaches. I see Ted Lasso’s flaws and I may, at this point, expect some of the things that happen during an episode but man, when…

Ted’s [arc] varies wildly from episode to episode, depending on the narrative that particular week (where was any of his angst this week when he was making speeches in the locker room?)

Judging from his Lasso and Shrinking reviews Betancourt seems to be obsessed with “authenticity” without understanding what actually is true to a character. This is particularly laughable in Beard’s case, because having strong opinions and being intensely knowledgeable on a surprisingly diverse array of subjects has al…

I’m not sure why Manuel hated the Coach Beard press conference bit so much. It was funny. And it was in character — it’s not at all impossible to imagine Beard having opinions on classic rock guitarists that are both weird and weirdly intense.

Indeed, I mean I don’t need fawning, but a lack of hate watching would be nice.

I’d say Jimi, myself. (And funnily enough I just realized you could make this call by comparing their versions of “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)“ if you wanted to.)

Nate was one of the first characters the show displayed, I still don’t understand why there is such an insistence on dismissing the plot line that he been there since Ted and Beard stepped on the pitch in the first 10 minutes of the first episode.

Well... that was an episode, for sure.

100% on Isaac being more angry at himself than at Colin; one writing choice that I found significant was when he goes to Colin’s house to explain himself, he doesn’t ask “why didn’t you tell me,” he asks “what was it about me that made you think you couldn’t tell me?” The first puts the blame on Colin; the second…

I think this was better than a C episode. There were some issues with it but I like that it went back to the feel good formula, not a ton of Keeley’s random spin off, some good Roy moments even if they were a little over the top at times.

My favorite throwaway line was probably Roy calling the Independent reporter “New Trent.”

I think “Goblin King” was the woman on the front row with the giant Bowie-in-Labyrinth-esque bouffant blonde hair.

Ted Lasso is a heartwarming comedy where things get rough but always finds a silver lining or hope.

Manuel, maybe comedy reviewing isn’t for you?

“Jack ghosting Keeley and moving to Argentina for a few months had big “Poochie died on the way back to his home planet” energy. (If that Simpsons reference goes over your head, please Google “Poochie” and thank me later.)”

It took about 5 seconds to clock what Rupert was up to. Just his behavior when he met Jade it was obvious he was going to fuck with Nate and her.

Maybe you need to take a break from reviewing Bill Lawrence shows, Manuel.

Also, I always get a kick out of Chris Powell’s ridiculous lines.

Well, my knowledge of musical theater is not as thorough as yours, but my enjoyment of this episode was much more thorough.
