Ted Lasso S3 - Blog Posts
okay but also the absolute king move of bringing home both of the people whose posters are on your bedroom wall home to meet your mom at the same time. no one is doing it like Jamie
obsessed with jamie correcting everyone. i can picture him reading in his free time so he can enter his “well, actually” era
The next Himbo event would be them huddled over at the whiteboard discussing plays on how Roy can win back Keeley.
I AM MANIFESTING THIS.
One of the only things that has irked me so far this season is how Ted's "one out of eleven" style of coaching has kinda disappeared with Zava's arrival, but I think him feeling like he lost/is losing his sense of purpose in London offers a little bit of explanation.
midway through the episode, ted asks henry if he knows that he would only be away from him for something he truly believes in. henry immediately says he knows, but ted so obviously isn’t sure of what his reason or purpose is anymore. meanwhile, the entire episode is a testament to how much ted has affected everyone around him for the past two years - the team works together so easily, jaime has assumed a real leadership role, rebecca is reminded of the importance of ted’s way over rupert’s, and the entire press room not only listens to him but participates alongside him showing how he has swayed popular opinion and culture as a whole. yet ted still doesn’t see why he’s there.
ted’s main thing is “believe,” but this season he’s the only who doesn’t believe.
Also we’re not gonna talk about Jamie’s little “Ted Lassoism” so to speak when he said “Bingo, el Ringo” after reminding the boys it’s “just poo-peh” cause that shit had me smiling so much
Anyone who thinks Jamie Tartt doesn't look hot af this season needs to get their fucking eyes checked
In tonight’s hottest episode, Ted Lasso season 3 episode 3 has it all: gay Colin Hughes, boys kissing, group meditation, himbos, Jesus Christ Superstar, a therapist who should lose his license, a therapist who is a goddess, a psychic visit, truth bombs, Keeley slaying her job, soft voice Roy Kent, awkward encounters with your ex, everyone’s favourite restaurant, the first time I’ve gotten full body chills over a matchbox, Jamie Tartt wearing slutty little earrings
My family had a similar reaction and to this day I don’t feel entirely accepted. I know it could be a lot worse. But sometimes i just wish they would love this part of myself too.
I'm so very emotional about Ted Lasso specifying that "we don't care" is a a bad reaction to people coming out because that's what happened to me. I worked up all this courage and I coordinated to get my father, my mother, and my mother's boyfriend all in the same room, and my mother's reaction was, and I quote, "okay, get that scholarship in on time or I'll fucking kill you". And when I was understandably upset, some of my friends tried to convince me that I was overreacting because at least my parents weren't angry or homophobic. Being queer is a part of your identity, you can't say you "don't care" about part of your loved one's identity. Even if you're trying to show that your feelings for someone haven't changed, you're dismissing them. And just like Ted explained, you're leaving them alone.
PS, the story has a happy ending for me, my pediatrician found out how my family reacted and stood up for me to my mother, who I no longer talk to, and the rest of my family is wonderful and accepting
