Oh that's cool that you have a friend that made a computer game. I haven't heard much about it through my usual gaming channels but it looks pretty neat; you mentioning it here definitely contributed to a sale :)

Loved this show and so glad you chose to watch it. Apparently this is the end of the series unfortunately, it was always meant to be only three seasons. Hopefully we get more later on

That was a lovely journey and the pure joy in your face on this last episode was wonderful to behold. This is another show I would not have watched had you not brought it to me. So thank you once again.

There's, like, 22 minutes to go... if they try to humanize Rupert, they can fuck right off.

I had a feeling they'd win and come in 2nd. Because it's not about the wins and losses. (But fuck, man, can't let them win? I like seeing the good guys win, and if it's not gonna happen in real life, give me my fictional happy endings at least, right?)

The callback to the Japanese art of mending, kintsugi, for the sign was a nice touch. Lots of great callbacks throughout the final season... that's a great one because it's (kinda) subtle and kinda a key theme in the show... I really liked the pillow fight in episode 6 too. That was just such a great, cozy episode all around. I'll think of that from time to time for a long time, I think.

I disagree, at least a bit, about Nate's arc. In season 2, when Ted brought Jamie back, they didn't show us Ted's discussion with the team. A lot of people seemed to take that to mean that Ted didn't talk to them. I disagree; I think Ted *clearly* talked to them (as evidenced by them not acting surprised, only hostile. Also, OF COURSE Ted talked to them about it, c'mon.) But we saw Jamie's struggles, saw his interaction with Ted, saw Ted discussing it with his staff... we saw all WE needed to see. The writers I think decided they didn't need to write the team reacting to Ted telling them, the writers didn't feel the need to belabor the point. Jamie reaching out to Ted, Ted initially saying "no" then changing his mind... that's all we needed. In terms of Jamie and the team, we got that dynamic - of Jamie becoming a part of the team - over the next few episodes. What would've been gained from showing Ted talking to the team first? Similarly, I feel the same about Nate's arc. *WE* saw what Nate went through earlier this season, we saw him trying to do better... and as far as having to actually apologize to Beard and Ted, well... Beard made the first move but that's because - as was shown when Ted talked to Jamie about forgiving his dad (it's something you give yourself) - we shouldn't need Nate to apologize to Beard; Beard forgiving him WITHOUT that is still pretty powerful. And we, as an audience, understand that Nate is going to prove himself worthy of it because of what we saw earlier in the season. PLUS, again, we got that moment between Nate and Ted, when Ted already forgave Nate but Nate still apologized. I think it worked. (Except the team coming to Nate first... that was definitely odd. We didn't need a ton, but *a little bit* about what led to that should've been there. I'm with you there.) ALSO Nate quit West Ham. There's no better apology than correcting your behavior, right? So I'd assume that that played a role in it as well... although to be fair, it wasn't discussed at all by anyone, so that wouldn't have hurt, for sure. I'm not saying it was perfect, but I thought it was really good nonetheless.

Okay, one more thing: Roy didn't end up with Keeley, and I think that's fucking bullshit. I don't necessarily *need* everybody to be paired off... Rebecca got that dude, and that was handled very well *when they were together*, but we didn't get much of it, so... a tad empty? Happy for her, I guess, but also... I needed more if I was gonna get truly invested? Ted got nobody, and that's a bummer. But the way it ended was at least satisfying. Beard ended up with Jane, and uh... I'm happy for them? (They seem toxic?) But... I truly hate the way season 3 handled Roy and Keeley's romantic relationship. He dumped her at the beginning, and we learn it's because he thought he wasn't worthy of her? Kind of weird, honestly, but sure, I guess, I'll roll with it... but he really grew, A LOT, over the season - over the show - and it's really weird that... well, it seems to me like the writers threw in a few moments to regress him purely so that it made sense for he and Keeley to not get back together. (He told her, at Jamie's house, that he didn't want to be just friends, and I was *sure* that she was going to say "me too"... but Jamie interrupted, and then the season ends with her saying "no". Um... what?) You could say his asking her who she sent the leaked video to. That seems like the writers trying to show us that he still wasn't ready for Keeley. But I didn't buy that; that shit was way out of character for Roy, wasn't it? I didn't buy that line. And of course... the scene at the bar where Roy tells Jamie to back off? What the fuck was that??? That was WILD. From a show I'd come to expect so much of... that was a letdown. I expected Roy to ask Jamie about Keeley, and Jamie to say he liked her but as a friend now, and so that clears the path for us to get Roy and Keeley again with no ambiguity. Like... Roy apologized to Keeley, slept over... and then they were just friends? And then he admitted he wanted more, that he wanted to do better... and NOTHING came of it? WTF? I just think that was a great scene, with Roy and Jamie bonding, appreciating each other... Jamie said he hadn't gotten attention like that from his dad... then the writers undercut a beautiful moment with some bullshit. Hated it. I'm not inherently against Keeley being single at the end, but like... if she was still getting past Jack, you know? Foreshadow her and Roy eventually getting back together, but no rush; that'd've been okay by me. But Roy and Jamie *fighting over her*? Hated it.
