A very ted lasso season: Richmond get hammered by west ham in their first meeting of the season. Zava loses his form and Richmond go into a huge slump, tumbling down the premier league. Zava asks to leave in the transfer window and possibly ends up at West Ham, then west ham dumpster Richmond out of the league cup. Nathan struggles to deal with star player/zava and west ham slip to fifth in the standings. With the season on the line the final match of the year Richmond need only a draw to stay up, while west ham need a win and help to make champions league. Once again Richmond are relegated by a late winner, but west ham fail to make top 4, enraging rupert. Richmond and west ham both have made improbable cup runs and will play the fa cup final at Wembley. Nathan needs the win to keep his job because Rupert's a dick, while Ted has already made the decision to quit after getting the team relegated twice in three years, but wants to motivate the team to give supporters something positive. Richmond win the final and Nathan is immediately sacked. Ted hands in his resignation but tells Rebecca to hire the best coach he knows: Nathan. Nathan, now humbled, accepts the job on the condition that ted stays as assistant. Ted realises he's better as a motivator/assistant coach and the show ends with everyone making peace with their past.

The Keeley/jack stuff hits real weird for me. Keeley and Roy seemed like they didn't really want to call it quits, and fair play for moving on but it's gone to the strange place of hooking up with the person who's financed the company. Not a fan of the weird power dynamics there.

LividLiquid posted:Nate had a big creepy gift that was going to skeeve that poor woman out and was set up to lambast the fact that we used to reward creepy stalker behavior in men and then it got smooshed by a truck, he's the villain of the series right now, and I feel like there's still a chance for her to realize what a weird little incel gremlin he is when fate doesn't intervene to drive a car over that behavior. That's a good way of putting it. The box thing was a terrible idea for a hostess he barely knows who has shown pretty much indifference and pity (once) towards him while he's spent loads of time trying to play his "I'm a big shot" cards.

Maybe Nate stays bad and the dr dates Ted's wife because that might be all that you get, that might well be it. Heaven knows you tried to make them better (but failed) Ted did show up and say he wants his players and people around him to be the best they can be.

Weirdly enough not exploring Ted's past in heavy heavy detail but through snippets worked really well in the early parts for me. quote:Nate's relationship with Jade is bizarrely surface-level too and feels insanely awkward and random as a result. They were just like "it would be cool if the dorky guy became suave" without thinking of the actual implications of maneuvering the arc in that way, which is frankly the show in a nutshell at this point. Nate never became suave. He makes me think of bill from king of the hill, where the moment he gets a little ahead he becomes an arrogant dick.

Phenotype posted:Okay, and I ask this in full ignorance: where does the money come from? Like, I assume fans of the Detroit Lions are almost entirely from Michigan, and there's like 10 million people in Michigan. That's more people than live in London, and London is divided up between 7 teams, so like, I just don't understand how any one of these teams is worth that much. Is it just from like, television syndication and stuff like that for the league itself? Does the Premier League get much play outside of Britain? tv money, same as the nfl there are like 300000 people who live in cincinatti or kansas city. where does their nfl money come from? the premier league is like the most popular sports league in the world. i don't mean this from a doxxing point of view but where do you live that the premier league has 0 presence? lmao at jamie's face trying to figure out where ted is going with his halftime speech ilmucche fucked around with this message at 11:56 on May 10, 2023 |

I don't know much about the football business, but couldn't you make an argument that forming a super league outside of FIFA's monopoly would be good for the sport? Clubs tried to make that argument a few years ago. It did not go well for them

Chamale posted:Van Damme changing his name bothers me. I'm French-Canadian, with a name that often gets butchered, and I'm proud of my name. It seems out of character for him to pick an easier-to-pronounce French name, at the suggestion of someone with a kid named Smingus Dingus. I thought he went with van damme because he loves the muscles from brussels though

Chamale posted:He does, but we never see any indication before that scene that he didn't like being named Zoreaux. I related to him constantly asking people to pronounce his name correctly. I could change my name to one that English-speakers could easily pronounce, but I haven't. So, Van Damme's name change seemed to come out of nowhere. I took it as him being really excited that he could name himself after JCVD rather than any kind of protest against the anglos. The same as if you tell a child they can be anything they want to be when they grow up they'll tell you they're going to be a dump truck or something. It came out of nowhere because zava existed to be zany and weird then disappear into the ether after doing.... something? maybe? with the plot

it was fine, some good some bad but I've already forgotten chunks of it. I had been expecting another richmond player to have a boyfriend at the wedding when that scene started. What did ted's kid say at the end when ted asked him "what do we always say?" I've run it back like 10 times and the closest I can get to words is "be a goal tender" but it sounds more like "be a gultvan" which is definitely not english

What really got me about the song was how the team jumped around screaming when ted said it was perfect. It could've been a nice sappy "thanks fellas" and the team giving him an emotional hug or whatever, but they all go off like children who opened an N64 on christmas. It seemed like a strange reaction to me
