#so Jamie may be doing a poor job of repressing his breakdown but I do think he’s trying to hold back a little | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

Some people are saying “well what about the Wembley hug” and look I know on some level you guys are totally right HOWEVER…The fact that there is literally zero follow up on What Happened At Wembley until Mom City, at which point his breakdown scene is treated as a joke, dims the whole thing for me.

Society if they’d let Jamie Tartt have one (1) proper breakdown on Ted Lasso that wasn’t played for laughs

#like….we finalllllly get the follow up! and then they want us to laugh.#ugh.#and I think you can say the scene with his mum is taken more seriously in the same episode (and it definitely is!)#but 1) that’s more of the aftermath of Jamie spiraling #rather than a breakdown #and 2) that too is dimmed by him dismissing his mothers advice to follow Ted’s very bad advice #again….ugh :(#I knowww I’m being nitpicky but it’s just frustrating that the show sometimes does really well with trauma #and sometimes treats it like a punchline.#ALSO! in the Wembley scene part of the tension is the whole team watching him #so Jamie may be doing a poor job of repressing his breakdown but I do think he’s trying to hold back a little #I want him to get a cathartic breakdown where he’s truly comfortable with losing it completely in front of people he knows he can trust #and we came SO CLOSE to getting that in the boot room scene with Roy. and then.#ted lasso #Jamie Tartt
