#sorry but that scene in episode 10 where keeley is talking to rebecca after rupert tried to kiss her

[pointninezero1]

ngl i don't think that the ending ruined roykeeley at all

EP 4, aka the one with the real Tom Selleck vibes

-- Ted work pj's to prom and then went to jail?? The backstory keeps unravelling and it's always fascinating

-- Rebecca either already keeps her gala clothes at the club or she specially shipped them over there just bc she's indecisive and takes the whole day to decide her outfit. Either way, respect

-- the Keeley/Jamie puppy play is just. Weird. Good on him for being an asshole who still goes down on his girl, gotta love it

-- Isaacs suit is fucking stunning and Sam learning the names of all the journos 🥰

-- Ted parent trapping Jamie and Roy is fucking hilarious, especially since that's a 10-top. The other five people at that table are forced to watch this dramatic mess and i for one would pay so much money to be one of them

-- is Beard an actual name, or is it a nickname? Does he have a name? Did Ted rescue him from some weird genius clone experiment? The questions never end

-- idk how anyone didn't think Rupert's appearance was skeevy af. He loses the club to his ex bc he blatantly cheated on her with a uni student, then crashes her first big appearance just to one-up her in an all white suit??? Supervillain behaviour

-- Colin still has a concussion from the club scene the episode before, so this all happened within a week, closer to three days probably. So Keeley gets heart eyes over Roy standing up for the kit man, and immediately starts comparing him to Jamie and finds Jamie lacking. She has a habit of falling fast and hard huh?

-- that was Bex betting on Jamie, right? What a fucking nightmare. The old owner of the club takes over the auction from under his ex wife and gets his new beau to bet on a date with the star player of said club, to the behest of his girlfriend? Also what was Rupert's plan there? Seduce Jamie away from Richmond? He didn't even have a club at that point

-- Rebecca finally trusts Ted ❤️ also him following her out of the auction to check up on her is mirrored later with the karaoke panic attack which is just. Cinematic poetry

-- is it just me or do Jamie's tattoos kinda...appear and disappear at will?

-- they added an intermission to an auction? I know it works plot wise to have Jamie and Roy talk between Keeley bidding on them both, but still.

-- ah right it's not Bex it's Jamie's...plus two? At a different table?? Which Rebecca knew about??? Who is...still Bex????? Which makes it even messier tbh. Your sugar daddy is taking your bid over your plus one to the sugar daddy's ex's auction? Where you're betting against the man's current girlfriend? This is giving me a fucking headache

-- colins wearing a hot pink tie, how fucking gay (affectionate)

-- im sorry i still can't imagine Beard with a ponytail. Literally a single year before the series started. Like, headbanging heavy metal hair? Sure. A ponytail tho???

-- also i Love the scene where Ted chases after Beard after the party bc it really shows the difference in...not quite their personalities but their influences in life. Beard, we know from the Trivia thing and context clues, is somehow indebted to Ted, presumably bc of excessive drug use but that's debatable. He runs from the party a little crazed, a little off kilter, and Ted follows stick straight with an almost cartoony James Bond type of swagger. It's just a very visual way of showing the core of their characters

OK late night Finale thought dump:

1) Not as good as the season one finale, no, but that’s only because the season one finale was literally an immaculate episode of television; this was still a great episode and a great end to the season, imo

2) A lot of our predictions were actually correct!Which isn’t a bad thing at all because I think it’s a good direction for the show to go in as we get into the next season. Rupert buying a club, Nate leaving to coach it. LOTS of drama fodder for the future but still feels like we’re finally starting to peak out of the dark forest and see the sunlight. I think that’s a good place to be at at the beginning of the third season.

3) The biggest surprise for me was actually what they did with Roy & Keeley. I was fully on team ‘they will either get engaged or they will break up and there is nothing in between” but turns out…they ended up sort of in-between, didn’t they? I actually love it because I do think there’s some conflict there and individual growth that needs to be worked through before it’s proposal time (which surely is coming next season, and hopefully after a kickass career arc for Keeley in the first half!!) They’re definitely endgame though, there’s not a doubt in my mind after watching that (there wasn’t really before, either. But still).

4) Roy…maybe use Keeley’s ticket to take Jaime with you on your holiday. Just kidding. Unless….

5) Speaking of, my biggest disappointment with the last third of this season is definitely how sidelined Jaime has been since the Man City episode. They really opened up a WHOLE can of worms when they brought his dad back in and then they just…never addressed it again. Lol.

6) I enjoyed Jaime’s portion of the Roy & Jaime conversation (that’s Growth™️, king), but the Roy jokes about punching all his teeth in, head butting him before the hug etc. didn’t land for me like they would have landed at the beginning of the season, mostly because they never had a freaking discussion after Man City!! Like!! Sorry I just don’t think, after realizing Jaime’s Dad is physically and emotionally abusive to him, that Roy would come on so strong with the violence angle. I’m not saying he’s got to walk on eggshells or not be his usual furious grumpy self but at least give us a moment where they unpack the locker room scene a bit BEFORE…but whatever. I did love the celebration scene and I can’t wait for them to be besties next season :) I also wish they’d let Keeley and Jaime talk!

7) ted and beard friendship!!!! No one is talking about them enough. Beard you are a real one.

8) I loved how they concluded the Sam storyline. A Nigerian restaurant!!! Also telling Rebecca (through Ted) that he was staying for himself and not for ~them~. Yes yes yes!!

9) LOVED everything about the match sequence but especially Jan Maas coming in clutch at halftime and Jaime having Dani take the penalty shot. And, of course, the believe sign team huddle! YES!!

10) So. The Nate and Ted scene. It really hurt. When he brought up the photo he gave Ted and called him out for not having it in his office…and we KNOW that’s because ted has it freaking framed next to a picture of his own! Son! At! Home!…that broke me. Anyway, Nick should definitely get an Emmy for that scene alone holy shit was he acting his pants off! I still think Nate will get a redemption arc next season but yeah he definitely is on thin fucking ice isn’t he? Dark forest isn’t fully over is it girlies.
