Roy: What a fucking dork.

Ted:

Season 1 Ed Teach (OFMD) and Rebecca Welton (Ted Lasso) both do the “oh shit, I’m in love with this idiot” face. And I just think that’s neat.

[cherish--these--times]

Guys it's dawning on me Ted and Rebecca are gonna meet again. I can't believe it. It feels so good.

The writers can deny it as much as they want but you bet your ass they won't be able to resist leaning into the long lost lovers reuniting again in the framing of the scene. I can see it already. You know the one. They have so much love in them they just smile like idiots they can barely stand it.

I absolutely NEED Hannah Waddingham in a romantic comedy set on a beach in summer…. This is a must for me🌞🩷

I just want to point out that every "Ted Lasso has lost it's way" crit article has been completely ignoring two things established within the framework of the show itself:

Ted Lasso works on romcom rules. I'm not saying it IS a romcom, but I'm saying it follows the patterns and story beats set up in most of them.

If you're in the dark forest, the story isn't over. And Ted Lasso is telling a goddamn story. It's been telling a story for three seasons, about a man learning that he can't give everything of himself unless he's willing to actually accept that all those dark parts exist- every wound, every fear, every vulnerable and broken piece of himself. (Which leads us to Mom City...)

LOSING HIS WAY WAS THE POINT. From the beginning of the third season, Ted has been slowly pulling away from who he was. He WAS a little lost, maybe for the first time in his life, because he didn't have anyone left to pretend for but Henry, and he knew that pretending to be okay wasn't going to do his son any favours. His friends knew he wasn't okay. EVERYONE knew he wasn't okay. The contrast of last season's reveal of the panic attack article-- Ted walking down the street feeling every eye on him, every person aware of his weakness and coming for it-- with this episode-- where he ran into literally all the same people and they greeted him as a member of their community-- was proof that Ted's path through the dark forest was coming to an end. Not because he's fixed, or because he doesn't have panic attacks anymore, but because those are just things that happen. They are parts of Ted now, parts he recognizes and has integrated into his reality. Which in turn let him be closer to the people in his life, and allow them to show genuine care and concern for him that he can actually accept. He DID lose his way, because he wasn't able to be the main character anymore (an interesting narrative on a show named after the guy)-- the guy who was always okay. Instead, he found his way around to being the guy who has to be okay with... not being okay. And I think he might be there.

I'm wired on tv thoughts, and this probably makes a million points everyone else has already made, as well as no sense whatsoever.

In conclusion, Roy/Jamie/Keeley threesome definitely happened, y/y?

I HATE people who hate romcoms!!! You’re not cool or different or more complex because you refuse to sit through a funny chick-flick. I get it if romcoms arent your favorite genre but deciding you hate them because they’re too “cliche” and “cheesy” makes you SOOOO ANNOYING. THEYRE SUPPOSED TO BE CLICHE AND CHEESY. BECAUSE MOST OF THEM ARE SELF AWARE ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEYRE BEING STUPID AND THATS THE JOYS OF A ROMCOM.

And saying that you enjoy horror more over romcoms literally makes me rip out my hair!!!!! Omg you’re sooooooooo cool and deep and interesting for wanting to see someone’s face get ripped off by an oily buff monster man- SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!! IDC!!!!! Romcoms atleast have some lesson you learn by the end of the movie about caring about others or that he’s just not that into you and that it’s fine!!!! I’m not saying most horror movies also don’t have lessons and what not- but hating on a romcoms for the same reason you love a horror movie LITERALLY KILLS ME!!!!

Anyways, my fav Romcom is either Ghost of Girlfriends past or The Proposal <33333

Ted and Rebecca could have gone down as one of the best friendships in TV history or one of the best romances in TV history, but they bungled it so much on both fronts that now it won't be remembered as either. #TedLasso.
