At the Body Shop, no less!

“No amount of Dewberry body wash is going to wash this stench off of you, Linda!”

A modern kids’ show with decent animation? Perish the thought!

It’s an interesting thing for her to bring up, since it’s sort of a running thread in the Ant-Man movies that Hope is much more well-suited (so to speak) to be a superhero than Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang. He gets to have an arc where he learns how to fight and become a better role model for his daughter, but she…

Aren’t these people a little old to be acting like Hot Topic customers?

*gasp* MWfuller!

If this show has taught us anything, it’s that the cushiest job in the world is being the head coach for a top-tier British football club. Apparently, you don’t need to know much about the sport you’re coaching, and you can hire all your friends to be your assistants, regardless of their qualifications. All you really…

Iwould rather my Ghostbusters film have a more compelling storyline over it having awful injected attempts at comedy that fail more often than they land.  But maybe that's just me...

“Didn’t make any sense?”  Have you SEEN Hannah Waddingham?

I think, to me, the biggest miss of the season is that we didn’t get more of Ted and Sharon finding their way to common ground. As conflicts go, theirs felt the most charged and uncomfortable, but also the most powerful. If this season is all about pushing Ted’s philosophy to the limit, then their dynamic should have…

I know it’s a weird one, but of all the things that make you love Roy Kent, that scene on the couch when Keeley tells him about Nate is right up there. He doesn’t once mention Nate or try and take charge of the situation. Just, “that sounds like it was really awkward, sorry you had to go through that.” He listens and…

I agree that class would add to a tension, but as far as the workplace, I have to disagree. In any remotely real scenario a player dating an owner would rip a club apart. The players are competing for the ball, playing time, stats, status, it’s endless. Any perception that a player is being favored would blow up.

I’m obviously not one of the reviewers, but I would answer your question by adding an additional possibility. I wasn’t disappointed in the conflicts being unbelievable or that the show seemed less fun. Rather, for me it was that so much of this season’s plotting felt unearned. That speaks to a problem of structure and…

I think the underlying issues the show has faced is that it’s leaned too hard into creating separate tracks for its characters, when it really needs to about a team and, well, Ted Lasso. Running on separate tracks works better for some shows — a show about friends or coworkers at a big company doesn’t need a strong…

Yeah, as I commented on the review thread it would be one thing if Ted actually took some of the lessons he learned from therapy and applied them to his coaching—and hey, maybe he’ll do just that next season—but instead he felt very peripheral to the season’s biggest moments. Season 1 Ted is complex character who…

I’ve been avoiding Twitter lately so I can’t confirm, but it seems like The Ted Lasso Discourse is in a healthier place now than back when everybody was flipping their shit over the Christmas episode and setting off a cascading series of backslashes and counter-backlashes. Ted Lasso remains a very funny, relatable show…

The write-ups have conditioned me to flinch whenever I read the words “Dubai Air.”

Nate reminds me of myself, and it makes me uncomfortable. Life has taught many, many times that letting my ego run rampant is a recipe for disaster, and hinders my success in the end. Insecurity and doubt inspire me to do my best work. Overconfidence and hubris make it impossible for me to see my own mistakes and…

Although committing to living through a Depression and a second World Kerfuffle is a big ask.

I’m blind as a bat without my contacts/glasses, so I definitely wouldn’t want to travel to a time before the invention of lens grinding. I also have a couple of crowns, so I can’t imagine life would be pleasant if one of those happened to fall off. I knew a woman in college who semi-seriously wanted to travel back to…
