Ted Lasso Callback Fail

Apparently, the horrible Roy, Jamie, Keeley scene in S3E12 was supposed to be a callback to the Roy, Keeley, Phoebe one in S3E1. While it's a visual callback, overall, this is a callback failure. There is a far better one but it would have showed how badly these characters were treated in this scene.

What would have been more appropriate is if Keeley had said, “Don’t use me as a prop in your little fights” - a callback to S1E4 (For the Children - after the gala) when Roy challenged Keeley on doing that very thing to him with Jamie. Then, Roy should’ve apologized (again, similar to Keeley's apology in that scene). Maybe Jamie could've then also showed shame in his behaviour because he would realize how he just walked back so much growth. It would also have shown Roy realizing he was a hypocrite, expecting better treatment in that S1 scene when he and Keeley were mere acquaintances than he was giving to Keeley in S3E12, the woman who he apparently loved.

That’s a proper callback, but it would've called attention to the fact that the show decided to short shrift Roy & Keeley as characters in S3. Not to mention this scene was so gross because Roy and Jamie had always respected Keeley's agency & even in S1 when they hated each other, they respected her wishes. Hey... another callback, when Roy didn't try to stop Jamie from coming into Keeley's house in S1, showing he may have hated Jamie but Keeley's friendship with Jamie was none of his business. And Jamie knew Keeley's love life was none of his. They both knew they had no right to make her choose how she lived her life.

Regression is one thing, but it means Ted’s influence & all their growth meant nothing.

ROY AND KEELEY, 1X08: The Diamond Dogs

“Are you dating other people? It’s okay if you are it’s just that I wanna know so I don’t look stupid”

“It was yoga okay? I do yoga with a group of women in their 60s. They have no idea who I am, it's twice a week and it's really good for my core. Normally only takes an hour, but Maureen's been going through a divorce and she needed to talk about it and blow off some steam. We all ended up at G-A-Y till 2:00 a.m. and then we had crepes in Balham with some drag queens. Like I said, it's private.”

I feel like we were the ones getting the talk instead of Phoebe at the end of the episode, the show told us calmly that Keeley and Roy broke up because I wanted to throw a fit but they explained it so calmly I was cooled down.

The first of three (so far) Keeley and Roy edits is out!!! I'm obsessed with them and I think this song (Good For Me, By: Rosie) describes their relationship perfectly!! At least how Roy feels at points and Keeley too! I hope you enjoy!!

This captures my feelings 100% and while I think their break-up is probably for a way more traumatic reason than the audience expects, I just felt the characters true love & passion and commitment to communicating could have overcome it. 😔
