[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hated the bit with the opposing West Ham coach and his crotch shot when Rupert pushed him down. What a crass joke in the midst of real dramatic tension. [/quote]

It wasn't a crass joke - it was Rupert showing in public what he usually hides: his cruelty. It also helped Nate's redemption in the public eye - people can see how horrible and vicious Rupert is, and put together that this may be why Nate left, too.[/quote]

Sorry, I misunderstood - you were talking about the junk on display. I think another person caught what we missed - it was a callback to the first episode.[/quote]

I also really liked the very understated way in which the ref told him to tuck it in after he stood back up.  That seemed to me very British — both blunt and understated at the same time.

I really think the Jamie character arc is the best of the series and shows what a difference on man can make.  Jamie was very set on a path where he was going to let his arrogance and his lack of mooring just squander his natural talent and any hope of real relationships.  Ted showed him another way and even more importantly showed Roy that he could be the kind of person that makes a difference in someone’s life (remember that scene from the first season where Ted basically gets Roy to step up as a leader?).  It leads to a total 180 for Jamie and changes the whole course of his life in a way that I found very natural and believable.  (More so than the Nate trajectory which I found a little unnatural or nonsensical at times.).   I don’t know why but at some point I had the impression Jamie’s mom had died, though.[/quote]
