#we’ll never have paris

[meemalee]

I love this show but yeah

[mexicangela]

rebecca and ted displayed major married couple behavior this episode. i’m going to kill myself posthaste.

something something ted saying “i can step away further if it helps.” when rebecca asks about the music paralleling him stepping away from michelle.

something something rebecca saying “no, no it’s fine.” in response, hearing him despite the noise, and actually encouraging him to go back into the music.

hoping for a colin going to trent to vent his fear that isaac knows about him. doesn’t need to be much. just colin and trent behind a closed door breathing the same air

Roy: Is this a game or child labor?

Trent: In late-stage capitalism, what’s the difference?

Beard: Word.

[ejzah]

Aw, I’m glad Rebecca talked Ted down.

We’ll Never Have Paris

[evendumbo]

Yes. I also wondered after the Dr. Jacob reveal, what’s up with multiple women characters being in ethically iffy relationships on this show? If they were gonna walk that line, make it worth the audience’s while, don’t just walk away. So many set ups…so zero pay-offs.

And so wasteful of potentially complicated, interesting minor women characters who could have been more than gas for someone else’s story. Pouring one out for Sharon. Shandy. Sassy. Jack.

It is telling that Brendan Hunt was so against Ted and Rebecca becoming a couple yet found Beard and Jane to be “passionate” rather than the toxic shit it was. Makes sense now in the utterly baffling Dr. Jacob relationship or Sassy’s tone deaf “you climbed that tower yourself” comment. They genuinely thought all of this was no big deal.

If that indeed was their thinking I absolutely was watching the wrong show. Truly sad to have wasted my time.

It’s more than these two ships, although if it were I’d be well within my right to say I fucking hate it. But for them to give Keeley practically nothing to do except bounce from one relationship to another. For Trent to appear because…?? I guess act as Gay Yoda and wear cool shirts? And what about Dr. Sharon? Maybe we could have seen Ted discuss his concerns with her this past season but no. She just watches the football game in the last episode. Again, what a waste.

Not your original anon but wanted to add if you don't mind- Mom City was my favourite episode in S3 for many many reasons, one of which was that (to me anyway), Keeley finally felt like Keeley again in that episode. She was involved with the main plot, she was interacting with her friends, she didn't just girlboss it to fix Jamie (she was in the iconic jacket!). She was fun and looked like she was having fun and it felt like we finally had our girl back

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree <3 perfect episode is perfect

[meemalee]

Ooh, so now that episode 3x08 of Ted Lasso has aired, I can finally post my video of Dr Jake being denied from the side 😁

(I promise I took this when the cameras weren’t rolling, don’t kill me, Chip)

[mexicangela]

TED HAD THE GREEN MATCHBOOK ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???? literally what’s with all the parallels and signs and specific camera cuts and character choices if we aren’t getting tedbecca in the end? i just don’t understand.

i also didn’t appreciate the way ted and michelle interacted this episode i would actually like for that to never happen again thanks.

[zarophod]

today i watched casablanca, love actually AND when harry met sally and i’ve never been so genuinely hopeful delusional that tedependent could actually happen

[trentcrimmisgay]

thinkin about how doctor jacob came up with oklahoma. throw the whole thing away

I have been having SO much fun with ted lasso in a very fighting in the trenches of livejournal meta way what a shame next episode will probably end my little party. (OR NOT?)
