I would be fine to have a night of meaningless sex with Hot Luca (who also makes tea! and is cheerful and friendly to Rebecca’s guests!) anytime.

All Keeley-related fanfiction involves her in relationships with Rebecca.  Look, I don’t write the rules.

Oh, I don’t know - they definitely pulled out a few more Fleetwood Mac and Peter Gabriel epics* over the years.

Eh, I have to stick up for Ted here.  Yes, Roy, Beard and Nate (I will never stop laughing about “wonderkid”) have taken the heavy lifting of the coaching.  In fact, Beard was doing practically all the coaching last year since he was the only one who knew about soccer.  But this team wouldn’t work if it were still at…

I have not really had any concerns about this season so far - watching Ted Lasso is always going to be a joy, which is all I want. But/plus/also, it seemed quite evident that the show was telling us to have a little faith, both subtly and also right out loud with that “dark forest” monologue. I loved this ep, but if…

That sounds so gross (the lady expecting someone catch her fallen towel, that is) and I’m sort of obsessed with the idea now.

Exactly.  I don’t think it’s trying to be Big Little Lies here.  It’s a summer show on a streaming platform.  Not everything needs to be intense.

I enjoyed it. Clearly Ted was talking to us with his dark forest analogy and I’m happy to sit back and let the show take me where it will.

This is sadly true. My husband’s shoulder used to dislocate from stupidly simple stuff like reaching up to get something from a high shelf.

Ah, see, I’m enjoying it much more than the book.  The book is NUTS.

You’re kidding. Nicole Kidman is Australian?! Wow, how did I never hear that over her decades-long, storied career!

The only part of the book that ever affected me was Napoleon’s speech and it got me here too. I was sobbing. Shannon did a great job with that scene.

Eh, I don’t think so?  It usually takes a few hours to dress a deer, so I can’t see that cooking a goat a few hours after killing it would be dangerous.

Samara Weaving is killing it as Jessica, in my opinion. She’s got that great combo of seeming very vapid and very naïve at the same time.

Lapsed, perhaps. Certainly not church-going, as most churches (at least in smaller villages) have had to either close or share a vicar amongst a very wide area.

Having seen the first three eps of this, I can confidently say that we are 2 for 2 on the shows being better than the books when it comes to Liane Moriarty. I wish I could quit her!

Hmm, I felt much more positively to it. (Although I’m sort of thinking of the three episodes as a whole, I suppose) I too have read the book and found it absolutely ridiculous and batshit crazy, so basically I came in with very, very, VERY low expectations.

Well, someone ironically for Armand, that he lied to Shane in the very beginning helped feed into Shane’s attitude of feeling gaslighted and paranoid, which might be why he skulked around his hotel room with a knife.

And they would let you.  No airline wants to be sued for losing a minor.

Yeah, but even if he’s interested in the full experience, he’s basically asking for the locals to pander to him and show off “their world.” I mean, let’s be honest, Quinn’s got wet noodle arms; there is no way he shouldn’t be replaced by an actually experienced outrigger for this trip.
