Ted Lasso s4 vs Sleepless in Seattle:

Ted not knowing what 'attachment styles' means 🤝 Sam not knowing whether tiramisu is a sex thing

Dr. Marcia Fieldstone 🤝 Dr. Sharon Fieldstone returns

Henry's telescope in his Kansas bedroom 🤝 Empire State Building observation deck

Ted & Michelle's code word for being honest is 'Oklahoma' 🤝 Sam gets a letter from a woman in Oklahoma

Ted quoting Casablanca 🤝 Sleepless in Seattle opens and closes with 'As Time Goes By'

Wizard of Oz references 🤝 Over the Rainbow on the Sleepless in Seattle soundtrack

Alright so it's not the dress from Ola's, but it is the dress Rebecca wears in 3x11 where she meets Dottie for the first time and calls Ted 'one of the nicest humans I've ever met' and the team watches You've Got Mail and Ted says he thinks Sleepless in Seattle is the superior Nora Ephron film...and Brendan Hunt did say there's a moment in s4 that's like when Meg Ryan realizes she shouldn't be with Bill Pullman and she's meant to be with Tom Hanks...and he didn't name the characters he's referring to in the episode...which again, could mean nothing...

Rebecca after Keeley teaches Ted online dating slang when signing him up for a dating app unbeknownst to her and he casually drops 'breadcrumbing' into their conversation in a folksy anecdote:

[roamwithahungryheart]

Rebecca's wearing the burgundy dress from that night at Ola's when she's on the date with The Flying Dutchman in the preview clip, and Ted's wearing his burgundy sweater from Ola's when he's on the date with the woman off the app...which could mean nothing...

“Why are you watching it again? You already know what happens.” Because The Character is in there, bro. THE CHARACTER

You've been kidnapped but the main character of the last TV show you watched is coming to rescue you.

Who’s rescuing you?

Keeley making Ted a dating profile in the episode 2 trailer??? Oh we really are in Sleepless in Seattle territory

[roamwithahungryheart]

Thinking about the fact that Ted's net worth is most likely somewhere in the range of £9 million to £16 million and yet he chose to live in a modest suburban neighborhood and work a part-time job as a favor. Thinking about Ted wanting to give Henry a normal childhood in Kansas where he attends a public elementary school and gets to play video games and hang out with his friends and play soccer without the pressure of being Coach Lasso's Son because he has a Normal Dad Who Does Normal Dad Things. He's prioritizing fatherhood and putting a good chunk away for Henry's college fund, he talks fondly about 'making up for lost time and helping him become the best version of himself', and now he's going back to Richmond to live in an affluent neighborhood and send his son to a top tier private school and presumably sign him up for the AFC Richmond Youth Academy. He's giving that boy the best of both worlds just because he can.

Something about Ted's voice going a little deeper when he's holding the scarf at the yard sale and he says 'But I gave it to you'

[roamwithahungryheart]

Ted's little smile, nod and 'mmhmm' when Rebecca mentions Zoom sex...which could mean nothing

Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso on episode 1, season 4.

[roamwithahungryheart]

Alright okay here's a positive thought: Ted's surrounded by reminders of his father in Kansas as a sign that if he stays he's doomed to repeat history BUT he's leaving and heading back to Richmond thus breaking the generational curse and exorcising the ghosts and demons of his past.

Thank you @chainofclovers for pointing me to the source of the 'PAINT THE WALL' pennant in Henry's room! It's a slogan associated with Sporting KC's charity initiative The Victory Project, which, as per the description on their website:

The Victory Project enhances the lives of children with cancer and creates inclusive opportunities through soccer for youth with disabilities and limited financial resources.

Sporting KC launches Paint the Wall pennants for MLS Cup Playoffs to benefit The Victory Project | Sporting Kansas City

In celebration of Sporting Kansas City’s upcoming 2021 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs run, Sporting has released Paint the Wall captain’s pennants ma

This is an amazing cause and I think it's beautiful that it was included in season 4 💖

I really don't mean to be grim about the new season of Ted Lasso, Lord knows I don't want to be, but oh my GOD there are so many references to Ted's mental health being Not Good™ and it worries me.

Ted talking to his mom at the yard sale after going into his childhood bedroom and seeing all the reminders of his father and when he's talking to his mom there are halloween decorations - a pumpkin and a ghost - in between them in the frame and the movie Halloween (which famously features a pumpkin on the poster) inspired Friday the 13th which was the movie Ted was going to watch with his friends on the night he found his father's body DO NOT SPEAK TO ME
