That's my point.
It was the one Shandy on the cover....said something like "Jack is not daddy's little girl anymore".Marauder Blue 6 said:Jack was mentioned on one of the magazine covers in the airport. I'm not sure if it was the same one with Shandy's picture.FightinTexasAg15 said:
One small gripe - The finale cements that Jack was a complete waste of season time. What was the point? They spent so much time on her and then she disappears. Even Shandy and Zava got some kind of mention in the finale. Just a really head scratching decision to use so much time of the final season for no reason and no payoff
Especially when so many important things happened off screen: Total Football starting to work, Nate's departure of West Ham, the team deciding Nate should come back, Ted announcing his departure to everyone, Roy and Keeley's break up, etc.
One thing I just noticed, while re-watching the final episode... was to the left of Zava's face on the magazine cover and above Ted's arm.... Zoreaux gets a summer job working on a Jean-Claude Van Damme remake of Escape to victory.tylercsbn9 said:

Ted's series of f-bombs with his mom were unnecessary and jarring.
More importantly, they were completely out of character. Go back and watch all three seasons if you like. When did he ever drop an f-bomb -- even in the most difficult of encounters where frustration or outrage might have given cause to do so?
It's not an indictment of the use of the word. Goodness knows it's used often enough by other characters. But to throw it in just because you can -- for shock value -- and betray the character profile you've consistently built over multiple seasons?

All this swearing talk reminds me of Suits and how they used to drop fake f bombs to get around the filters on USA.
When might that have been? I wasn't just trying to bluff a point. I honestly don't remember a single time that he used the word.Moe Jzyslak said:Goodson said:

I don't need to go back and rewatch it. Ted said the f word before that happened. Maybe you should go back and rewatch
I think there's validity to your rationale. Again, I just didn't think it rang true with his character as the writers and actor had developed it over the three seasons.AgGrad99 said:
Most of the cursing in the show is pretty unnecessary. I honestly think the show would have been better without a lot of it...given the light-heartedness of the show, and the crowd it appeals to.
But I understand Ted cussing at his mom. It wasn't a betrayal of his character, but an explanation. The whole point, was to show why is character is the way it is. He usually just masked his true feelings in positivity, instead of letting out the way he really felt. And he learned that from his mom. She encouraged him to do that when he lost his dad, and beyond. It made him uncomfortable being around her, because of this reason, and he finally broke the other way (which led to him admitting he's not ok away from his son, rather than continuing to act like it was).
And it also wasn't the first time he'd cussed. I remember he said, 'win the whole f'ing thing' to Rebecca. Not sure about the F-word, but I know he's cussed a few other times.
There we go. Fixed it for you. Plenty thought Colln's storyline progressed the "plot" quite well. Feel free to disagree but either way you'll be OK.David Happymountain said:

I hear you. At first, the whole, 'I cant stand my mom' storyline was very odd to me. It was so opposite of what we were used to with Lasso.Quote:

I thought so too for Colin, especially the parallels between his conversation with Isaac and the conversation Ted had with his mom. The **** you convo with Ted's mom was also in line with the conversation he had with Jamie on the sideline earlier that day.powerbelly said:PanzerAggie06 said:There we go. Fixed it for you.

I think the Colin storyline was great for both plot and character development. The jack/keely not so much.

The season three (and potential series) finale of Ted Lasso delivered record streaming numbers for Apple TV+.
Viewers watched 1.24 billion minutes' worth of the Emmy-winning comedy for the week of May 29-June 4 the first time any show on Apple's streaming service has topped a billion minutes. The season three finale, released May 31, accounted for 529 million of those minutes (about 42.5 percent of the total), which Nielsen says is the highest weekly total for a single episode of Ted Lasso.
Since it premiered in August 2020, Ted Lasso has drawn more than 25 billion minutes of viewing in the United States, per Nielsen. Through June 4, the season two finale was the biggest single episode at 960 million minutes a total that the season three closer seems likely to pass, given that it got more than halfway there in a single week.

I think Sudeikis said in an interview that Apple censors asked him not to use the "c word" (rhymes with "punt") even though it is apparently thrown around a lot in England and isn't considered as offensive as it is here.BBRex said:
The Brits treat the F-bomb about the same as we treat darn. The show sort of plays on that stereotype.
