In the flash forward it seemed like he was back up to being assistant coach. But I appreciated that they didn’t immediately bring Nate back into the coaching team. After who he became as assistant coach at Richmond and manager at West Ham, he needed to go back to his roots and embrace just being Nate again so he could…

Chekhov’s psychic 

Two little moments I really loved - Ted *finally* showing some soccer knowledge by being the only one of the coaches to notice that one of the West Ham players was offsides and the goal wouldn’t count, and Dr. Sharon’s nameplate at the end of the episode, showing her new (I think) title as head of emotional support…

finishing second to manchester city after a remarkable season was a bit too soon for me as an arsenal fan

I would definitely watch a spin-off show without Ted. It was an ensemble show. Will I miss Ted? Yes. But I’d still love to see the rest of them and their continuing stories.

I just wanted to point out the “Cheers” moment (where Norm was played by Jason Sudekis’ uncle)... after Nicholas Colasanto passed after season 3, a picture of Geronimo he had in his dressing room was hung in the bar. One of the last things Ted Danson did in the last ep was straighten it before leaving. Mae, when…

It was the perfect end for this show.

I always forget that casting decision, which now feels really ugh. And then you could actually continue on from there on what was actually Kate’s character arc and how her role was to be the grand love interest for the true hero of the story.

I was thinking that Cuse wanting the character to suffer such a gruesome death sounded like it was something personal against Akinnuoye-Agbaje, but wasn’t aware of (or forgot) what was going on with the casting at the time. The context of that being his reaction to an actor asking to leave the show because of the…

Lindelof and Cuse essentially say “How could I know I was a dick on a show I was running if nobody told me?!”

And maybe Jamie’s out-of-the-blue freakout in last week’s episode. It was a bit jarring to see him in mental crisis out of nowhere. Maybe if we’d seen him working with Dr. Sharon on some of this stuff before this one episode, it would have seemed a bit more natural.

Yeah, I was thinking of writing a comment, but most of that second paragraph says what I was going to say. I just feel like they left that complexity or even competence behind this season— most of the time it seems like Keeley is either unaware of what she should be doing at her job, or they’re not even trying to show…

So... a rumor that I heard — which is probably worth what most rumors are, I suppose — is that Juno Temple did not have as much availability for filming as she did in previous seasons, because she was making something else. So if Keeley feels isolated from the main cast and trapped in her own little world of small…

I did know, and apparently Knopfler felt a bit stupid singing it to her given its subject matter.

Different strokes I guess. I took Bowies death harder for several reasons. More of a fan of his work and the fact that it was very sudden because he kept his cancer battle private.

Where’s “We Don’t Need Another Hero”, “Better Be Good to Me”, “Typical Male”, “Goldeneye” or “I Don’t Wanna Fight”?

Best Bond theme ever. RIP

Great, now I’m picturing Kate Hudson playing Goldie’s role!!
