re: Ted Lasso Season 3 Thread *Spoilers*

Man, I bailed on this show in season 2, but just to read this thread I'd swear I was looking at a Soap Opera Digest circa 1986.

I’m starting to get annoyed at how little Ted has grown as a character. It’s year 3. The fact that he cannot contribute it strategy discussions isn’t funny or endearing anymore it’s in fact the opposite. He’s being fed to us as this all around good guy-well at this point it’s lazy. I thought they foreshadowed some changes with Henry saying “well you have to at least try” and him starting to read that book but no Trent crimm is contributing more to the meetings than Ted is. Outside of coaching he’s still an emotional mess having frequent panic attacks. I guess he’s slightly better at handling then now.

He’s a humble Ed Orgeron.

Drank a quart of milk during the episode now I know why, lesbian scenes were much appreciated as well

Keely going lesbo seemed unnecessary.

They did kinda hint at Keeley being attracted to Rebecca IIRC

quote:

Jamie’s arc has changed too much for him to not be the hero.

Nate is a good person with obvious daddy issues and a need for validation.

In season 1, Ted takes on the father role and recognizes his talent.

In season 2, Ted turns his attention to Jamie and stops giving Nate the attention he craves. Rupert steps in and assumes the fatherly role.

In season 3, Nate is imitating Rupert but doesn’t really feel any better about himself and he is starting to realize that Rupert isn’t a good person and only cares about screwing over his ex.

At some point I expect Ted and Nate to have it out, maybe with Nate coming to his apartment and finally seeing that’s where Ted has the picture he gave him.

As for Jamie and Keely, I don’t care for the idea of them getting back together. I think that undercuts her growth arc.

Jamie’s progress is going to be derailed by Keely’s former friend.

That’s all I have for predictions right now. I do see Nate returning and taking over with Ted going back home, though.

Ted also still has the lego stadium his son built set up, and at some point he moved the Lego Nate back down on the field sidelines with the rest of the coaching staff.

I think I'm done.

S1 was superb comedy with dramatic effects woven in that made it heartfelt.
S2 was dramedy. More drama than comedy.
S3 is a soap opera with all the disjointed story lines.

I don’t know about y’all, but I think the writers have grossly overestimated how much I care about Rebecca & Keeley.

Both of them are honestly terrible at what they do but nobody really seems to care.

I don’t think the idea of a character who won all her money in a divorce and now spends all her time drinking, gossiping, and visiting psychics while only caring about the team for the sole purpose of showing up her ex-husband is charming at all. The exact opposite actually

As for Keeley, she does seem like a really nice person with some good talent for PR, but it’s honestly hilarious that the writers are trying to portray the CFO lady as the bad guy for saying basic things like you shouldn’t spend $300 a week on flowers or hire your unqualified friend.

I know it’s just a show so I honestly don’t care that much but I have no clue why the writers think either of them are so charming. They both come across as spoiled and slightly narcissistic. I guess they probably appeal to the female audience.
