I actually may run an experiment on this episode, and film a commentary re-watch to add to the YouTube edit. This show is so dense and fast, I feel like I'm missing so many of the things I want to comment on. So, I'm going to try it out with this episode, and see if it's a good way to "recreate" the way Sam and I used to watch--sort of separate reaction/commentary tracks. I've considered doing that in general in the past, so this feels like a good place to try it out!

Ted Lasso 4x02 Full Length Reaction

The reason that boots broke Ted is in that situation for any male anything you say can be used against you. She's a female on a team of females who Superior is a male and she makes a sexual joke. Ted was flummoxed because there was nothing he could say that would not get him in trouble with someone. I've been there myself joking around with coworkers or with people I supervised and a woman makes a comment and you just if I don't know her that well I'd shut my mouth even if it was in another case something I would have had a retort to.

Funnily enough, Sex Education and Ted Lasso were the shows most highly recommended by the trainers at my last therapy job. And I can't say they were wrong. I really like Alice so far. I think she's going to be a great character - but what I really want to see is an Alice/Roy team-up, though the world may not be ready for that...

It’s great to see you so happy about this show being back! It’s been absolutely fabulous. One thing I liked about this episode was that it, unlike the first episode, wasn’t packed to the gills with references. While there were callbacks to the season one first episode, this one didn’t try too hard to be too much wink-wink, so it didn’t take away from the impact of Ted’s storyline (as two of the other two B-plots were very….um, goofy). To be honest, I didn’t catch the Alice in Wonderland meaning in the title with Alice. When I watched it, I thought it was a reference to the most famous quote in Lasso history, Be Curious, Not Judgmental. Ted was curious about the origin stories of these players…but he also was curious about Coach Chilton. He asked questions. He heard what other people judged her to be. But he was curious about her origin story. I thought it was the biggest reference possible to that incredible quote…this episode really was Ted putting that mantra into action. Seeing Tania have that tiny smile when Ted turned away at the end, only to quickly hide it again,,was so good. I look forward to seeing what you do with the commentaries! :)

I think after 4 seasons, I’m done with the Roy and Keeley thing. Considering we’ve already seen hardly any of the women’s team and the show is already too packed.

I agree. Especially if it's not resolved this season, it falls into yet another tope--the endless "will they / won't they" and that would just be too much.
