| Ted Lasso writers have redeemed themselves and my sense of hope! There's a time to sow and a time to reap -- but always be on the lookout for beauty -- those sunflowers -- and for the thing you are meant to be doing. Then, when you find it, keep trying. Oh -- and don't forget to play with your friends along the way. Jamie and Roy! Colin and Trent! Rebecca and the mysterious Dutch guy -- her "shite in nining armor"? And Sassy lives! Go Richmond! You'll never walk alone. |

I LOVED this episode.
Also I love that Ted thought he was tripping, went to that weird American restaurant - and actually figured out some soccer strategy. I feel like that is such a growth moment for him! That Dutch man on the houseboat was hot. That whole thing was like a dream. Jamie and Roy - I love their all night adventure! The bikes!! I'm sad Danny didn't get to see a tulip. But love that the team ended up bonding in such a fun way. |
Oh and Coach showing up as Piggy Stardust, and he speaks Dutch! He is a great character. |
Earlier in the episode we see a little girls bedroom and I thought -- remember Rebecca becoming a mother? But if she and the guy actually slept together then... that could be it. |
Except that fertility specialist told her she couldn’t get pregnant. I think she and the Dutch guy find each other again and he has a daughter and she develops a relationship with her. |
| Yes, I see that happening, too. |
Specialists have been wrong before. But I'd be happy to see her developing a relationship with the daughter too. |
I took it as she will be a mother, just not to her own biological child. And this guy was her knight in shining armor---though my husband was like 'wtf? why isn't he jumping in the canal to help her out??" |
She didn't need that kind of help. |
She’s apparently a cunning linguist. |
Nailed it |
Because she can swim. |
I think you are misinterpreting Nate’s spitting. I don’t think it’s about being a tough guy. I think it is about feeling worthless. The first time we see him do it, he does it to his own reflection. |
+1 I love how Jamie is actually much smarter than we're led to believe, especially in season 1. He's actually very bright and astute. |
Re: Nate, I respectfully disagree. I think he was *always* nice but completely invisible to all until Ted showed up and made him feel like a real person. Then, when Ted brings Roy on as coach, Nate feels betrayed and hurt and does a complete 180, turning spiteful and mean. But I think deep down, he recognizes that this is not who he really is or wants to be and is going to make a turnaround somehow. I loved his character at the beginning, before he turned into this jerk, and I hope he redeems himself. Maybe the hostess at the restaurant will help him keep it real. |
