I don’t recall seeing the phone itself but I’m pretty sure she’s always had an iphone. It was just green to show that the messages weren’t going through as iMessages, probably to show that her phone wasn’t connected. That’s why each message said “Sent as text message”

Yep, in contrast to the messages earlier (about the pronunciation of Ajax) which used iPhone Memojis.

emanresu tnuocca posted:The whole total football thing at the end was a bit hard to parse, was it just another joke at Ted's ignorance about football or was it meant to signify that although Ted is clueless he has managed to conceive football on the same level of famous revolutionary football genius (and obviously Ajax Amsterdam legend) Johann Cruyff, it didn't feel like just an empty joke to me and it does come as a juxtaposition to Roy and Beard constantly suggesting rigid old school positional tactics, so I guess we're set up for Ted showing a degree of competency (by applying a tactic which is famously not suitable for mediocre teams nor is it a style that can just be easily adopted without intense drilling, but, i mean, lol football realism who cares) for the final parts of the season. I think it was a multi-level joke. The first is: there is a standard trope around “fish out of water” characters where, due to their Outsider status, they are able to provide to the protagonist some new esoteric information or new perspective on a situation which allows the protagonist to solve the challenge they’re wrestling with, often to superstar levels because their outside knowledge radically changes the situation, possibly even stretching the bounds of what’s allowable. So the show clearly sets us up to expect that, given that Ted is on drugs (special insight!) and hearing about superior basketball strategies (outside knowledge!), and does a great job of setting you up to expect that Ted’s breakthrough is going to Change The Game. The second is: Ted was re-inventing stuff that hadn’t been revolutionary for forty years. So the joke is on the audience thinking the story is going to be fantastical (Ted reinvents soccer!!! No one will be able to defend against it! He’ll out-Nate Nate!!) when it’s actually realistic. The third is that even though it’s not a major revelation which will change the nature of soccer forever, it’s actually still a pretty good idea and leans into Ted’s strengths as a coach. So the flip of expectations in the second joke is flipped again. skeleton warrior fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Apr 20, 2023 |

blue squares posted:Rebecca the billionaire in an Apple TV show has an android??? Entirely plausible Apple has an insane brand integrity division that does not want to show one of their products being destroyed/lost. I got curious and went back to the prior episode, scrolled around a bit; she definitely has an iPhone there. EDIT: Okay I looked again. She's on an iPhone when she's talking to Keeley on the bridge; her SMS just went green because the phone died, I guess. Boxman fucked around with this message at 12:18 on Apr 20, 2023 |

Phenotype posted:Man, this show is really losing me. I always thought it was a little too meandering and indulgent, but this one took it to another level, just a full hour-long episode of durdling character stuff without any real forward progress. There's a director out there that could have tied this all into a much tighter package, more focused on the football season and using the character relationships as the emotional core of the story, and I've been waiting for that to come into being since the start, but that's just not what they're doing. And what they ARE doing just feels incredibly mediocre and saccharine and aimless and just ugh. Such a waste of a cool premise. Yeah, I'm feeling this way a lot more, especially after the last episode (and this is coming from someone who thought Coach Beard's Big Night Out was the only good episode of Season 2). Is it just me or does the show feel like it's one of those bags of chips that looks big on the outside, but when you open it there's like three chips and a whole lot of air in there? Episodes are long, scenes are long, everything is edited in this kind of languid way that makes it feel like characters are being fed their lines through an earpiece, scenes feel like they're missing music, it's just all so weird. Plotlines that seem like they should be a Really Big Deal (Rebecca dating an employee half her age, Ted's marriage counselor shacking up with his ex) are treated as essential non-issues by the characters in what feels like a baity way to get us to debate over why no one in this universe acts like an actual person anymore. Keeley continues to be the most boring character on the show and Rebecca continues to get pigeonholed into all her plotlines being about boys. Everyone's just kind of standing around smirking and being rich and loving around on their Apple products without any real stakes or interest anymore. Was really excited for the show to get back on track after the Season 3 premiere but it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to even get through whole episodes now. Really disappointing stuff.

I'm glad you mentioned it because I had thought "that's weird that Richmond already put up his picture" and somehow didn't consider that they're in Amsterdam, the year on the picture is "wrong", that Zava played for Ajax, etc.

I was curious about when I heard Trent mention the "Pink Triangle", and found out that their heart-to-heart was filmed at this monument and I think it's now very suddenly dusty in here and I'm cutting up onions? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomonument

Panic! At The Tesco posted:I have to pretty much agree. I liked the first two seasons a lot more, and I don't know if it's because this season is worse or if it's just because most of the stories I'm finding uninteresting. The only ones I find myself caring about at this season are Colin being a gay pro footballer and the overarching Ted vs Nate stuff. The Zava stuff was fun too but seems to be over now. Pretty much agree with all this. Not a bad episode, but at certain points I found my mind wandering, just not fully engaged with the show, especially Rebecca's little adventure.

Yeah lots of little details they nailed this episode. BTW the pillow fight was a callback to season one. quote:Ted: All right, fellas, we got team meal in an hour. After that, it’s either gonna be movie night or a pillow fight. What’s it gonna be this time around?

Yeah, as much as I loved this episode, I will agree that I thought Rebecca's side story was just kind of...pointless, I guess? There was nothing offensively wrong with it, and it was sweet at points, but for me, it just didn't seem to accomplish anything in terms of moving her character and story forward.

Zero One posted:"So mom, what was I saying? Oh yeah I met a nice couple who invited me to have a threesome." Was there a booming comedy scene in Amsterdam in the late 90s/early 2000s? I know Seth Meyers lived there for a few years and that's where he met Amber Ruffins.

Is everyone missing the part where in the morning Rebecca asks Dutch guy, “Last night… did we…?” and he responds “Did we? Did we… no.” Then after she leaves, he says to himself, “Did we? Oh yes, we did.” Like, she’s definitely gonna be pregnant.

See, now I took the second "did we....yes we did" to mean "did we have an instant connection" or "did we just fall in love" They show her falling asleep on the couch and him going to his bedroom. She was not black out drunk so she would have remembered. There's absolutely no indication in their whole interaction he would have lied to her about it if they did have sex. They did not sleep together. sheri fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Apr 20, 2023 |

That guy will be back. He's simply too charming, too manly, too much of a gentlemen to not being a reoccurring character. He also has a daughter that we haven't met, and she will also be charming and ridiculously precocious, and there's no way this guy turns out to be bad.

Also I think his “did we? …We did” is supposed to indicate he was also boozed up and couldn’t quite remember until she walked out the door. Rebecca gets to be a single mother millionaire when she can’t find a guy who will literally up anchor and sail away with no way of being traced. They didn’t even trade names.
