[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]

That whole sequence was tonally really weird. I think part of what they were doing there was trying to show that Rupert is still Rupert, but also to show that to some degree he's playing a role that is a response to how others view him and expect him to act. [b]They definitely made an effort to create some empathy for him as the crowd starts changing "wanker" at him[/b] -- they cut to Ted and Rebecca both looking uncomfortable and probably recognizing how hard that would feel. But then with the joke about the coach's junk hanging out of his shorts and quickly returning to play, they didn't quite pull it off.

I feel like they were trying to flesh out Rupert's character all season in this way, showing him sometimes being kind to Rebecca, or helping Nate find some confidence. But obviously he is also shown doing terrible things to both of them, and others. I think it was an interesting idea but not quite fully executed, which is how I feel about a bunch of stuff on the show this season. It's like they needed a few more episodes, honestly.[/quote]

I think the "wanker" bit was a call back to when the crowd was chanting that at Ted. [/quote]
