Honestly, I read her taken aback expression as more like “wow, Colin’s being super open about this so I guess the whole team knows.”  Which makes me wonder if she accidentally outs Colin to Roy or something, thinking that Roy obviously already knows since Colin seems to be comfortable enough to make a reference to…

That’s what I think. Otherwise, she’s just serving as The Wise Black Woman who fixes Ted’s problems and that would be a really shitty turn for a show that seems to be above that.

Well, Dubai Air is a made up airline. (Etihad is the actual national airline of the UAE and somewhat amusingly in context of the show, they sponsor Man City). And I’m not sure Sam’s protest was against DA but their parent company - he’s trying to drive attention to that company’s abuses to the Nigerian land and people.

Also, when is Shannon (the young woman who is often playing soccer in the alley near the pub) going to join the team?

I thought Sam’s storyline was great (and it’s always nice to see Toheeb Jimoh get more playing time, to borrow the parallel from soccer), but the only thing that bugged me is it has just now come up. Presumably Sam’s dad has seen Sam in uniform numerous times, so he knows the team’s sponsored by Dubai Air. Was it just…

If I have one complaint about Ted Lasso (and truly, it’s only the one) is that they keep saying “tie.” The show is clearly written to American audiences, which is fine, but then they do stuff like use actual tv presenters on the show, none of whom Americans would ever recognize (I only do because I’m married to a Brit…

Fair play.  He can write up gossip from AFC Richmond’s press room and then document another Spurs loss.

I’m kind of torn on luaus and such myself. I’ve never been to Hawaii (one day!) so I haven’t witnessed one in person, but I think I would probably be very uncomfortable during it. There is a fine line between someone genuinely showing off part of their culture as a matter of pride or celebration and someone having to…

It would be a very nice (well, not nice, but you know what I mean) twist of irony.

I think it has been mentioned but it was for something silly and dumb?  Then again, if the theory is that the sitcom is Allison’s way of coping, then he could have been in for much worse.

Nah, I think it’s pretty richy-rich. (If nothing else, the gas bill on those lamps is probably insane)

That’s my thinking too. She’ll get distracted by BLM guy and then forget all about Belinda and the promises she made to her.

Oh, she should definitely get her random vacation sex.  (Although I’m pretty sure that BLM guy will distract her from her “mission” to help Belinda)  I don’t see vacation hookups with randoms to be anything untoward.  My guess from Tanya’s description was that her mom was more of the “can’t be single for a minute;…

OMG you’re right!

Trump Republicans have really turned on the BLM in the last six years or so.  I’m not sure they were ever really fans, because God forbid the guv’ment tell me where I can raise my cattle, but it’s gotten . . . weird.

What do we think about BLM guy? My initial impression was that he parked himself in front of Tanya’s door and is trying to sucker his way into her money.

She’s just out of scene getting a hot coffee, which I hope she then dumps all over Shane’s head.

Yeah, there’s only so far you can bury your face in someone’s ass before you are actually rimming them.  Also I’m not sure Standards and Practices would have allowed them to have Dillon’s ass cheeks spread open.

Yeah, he’s pulling Tanya into his stupid little game with Shane (and for that matter, poor Belinda who had to sit there and try to smooth everything over.  Did he even warn her?), and as far as we know, all Tanya has done to Armand is to request a massage upon landing at the resort.  That does make her privileged and…

Oh, same. I don’t deal well with grown people crying over the deaths of their childhood pets.
