I got a Russian Doll vibe from it, myself.

I agree that I think this is not exactly trying to set up a love triangle plot, although I saw the moment as being as much about Jamie as it is about Keeley; it was him expressing feelings without any need or expectation for them to reciprocated or for Keeley to comfort or support him. I think it shows that Jamie has…

I mean…I’d be into that. 

Maybe they aren’t building up a triangle, but laying the foundation for a Jamie/Roy/Keeley throuple. That’d be a glorious train wreck.

Telling Rupert that she was going to wear red to his funeral, be a beacon of joy, and to fuck off and die - amazing

I always assumed Jamie’s bi realization comes in season 3

Indeed that was her in Sense & Sensibility.  Based on her appearance in that film and Ted Lasso, one could make the argument she is all but ageless! 

Ok 1) I had no idea who she is related to, and b) I have adored her from numerous other uptight british roles but you are right that she absolutely shone this week. She took all of her character’s pain and hid it just as I imagine my own mother would have done in those circumstances. I know another comment was…

You know I was under the impression that Richmond had not completely turned the season around yet and was still not even close to the top of the Championship standings. However, in the final scene of this episode, the whiteboard in Ted’s office says 21 wins, 6 losses and 16 draws. Since Sam’s protest, they are an…

Admittedly, I went to grab a glass of water and came back halfway through the scene, but Jane’s text freakout when she texted Beard and he didn’t immediately respond was a huge red flag. Girl, sometimes people’s phones die.

The Roy Kent CGI truthers might be on to something...

Allegedly that's the origin of the song as a Man City favourite, because there was a joke going round in the late 80s that City only won once in a blue moon, so the fans took it to heart.

He sounded so much like Roy Kent that I was expecting him to turn out to be Brett Goldstein in surrealistic prosthetics.

Also note that in the last scene Ted juuust happens to say “Once in a blue moon, there’s a game so bad...”

I can see how “committed” is problematic, and it's important to avoid criminalizing suicide, but “died by suicide” doesn’t quite sit right with me either. Something about removing agency and intentionality from the equation entirely—essentially saying that dying by suicide is the direct equivalent of dying of a heart…

The new standard language is “died by suicide.” There’s a ton of literature out there explaining the change.

I get what they were doing with this episode (a nod to Scorsese’s ‘After Hours’ and numerous other films set over the course of a tumultuous night), but I was disappointed that we learned so little about Beard that we didn’t already know. He’s dated a lot, has a kind soul, takes losing harder than he initially lets…

“And so going into “Beard After Hours,” my expectation was that his journey would be a bridge between the Man City loss and whatever the fallout will be, and that our new understanding of his perspective would shape those events.

Ha, I mean they’re all songs the fans sing when they’re excited. Or emotional. Or drunk. Or fighty.

Blue Moon is Man City’s anthem, like You’ll Never Walk Alone for Liverpool or I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles for West Ham. Beard probably saw it as a horrible portent sent by the gods.
