Ted Lasso 4x03 Full Length Reaction

Comments

I totally agree 1000%! This makes a lot of sense in terms of a lot of negative reviews I’ve been seeing on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes for this season already. If you’re not used to it, it’s going to feel like it’s being shoved down your throat, even if it’s not.

Call me crazy I think Alice and Gimma are sisters they talk shit out in front of others like siblings.

Jacob Lunbeck

I get it was a joke and I did laugh, but god did I want to punch that waiter for calling Rebecca a whore!

Movie Night

Thank you, and definitely! The same thing happened with the Bill and Frank episode of The Last of Us. Genuinely, one of the greatest hours of television I've ever seen in my life. It could've won an Oscar as its own short film. But it was review bombed, because so many people were uncomfortable with just the idea of a gay couple existing. Alas, it's a conversation I've actually had many times in real life, when people around me have claimed these characters and storylines were being "shoved down their throats." It's sad, but unfortunately true.

Movie Night

Interesting! I'd never considered that idea 🤔

Movie Night

Totally fair! My mind immediately went to last season when she told Matthijs that "she wears a lot of heels for work," and that definitely coming across like she was a stripper or something. I almost forgot to get upset, because I was just thinking about the callback 😅 (that will have to be an insert, because I forgot to address it the first time lol)

I can see a few directions here, but my main theory is that Gemma has star potential Alice recognizes but can't unlock yet; meaning Ted needs to help Alice grow so she can in turn elevate Gemma. If I had to guess Alice's issue with Gemma probably stems from either: Envy: Frustration that Gemma is squandering elite talent while Alice's own career was cut short by injury (They evoked Good Will Hunting earlier in the episode so I'm thinking the "I'd kill to have what you have" scene). Betrayal of the mission: Anger that Gemma isn't giving 100% to what Alice and others are trying to accomplish for the sport. Unrequited feelings: Unrecognized or potentially unknown love. (I kinda hope its not this since I'd like to think Alice's photo from the previous episode is indicitive that she is in a healthy relationship off screen). I’m personally hoping for the first option, but I trust this writing staff completely; wherever they take it, I’m here for the ride!

The objectively correct answer to people complaining about things being shoved down their throats is "Huh, I didn't know that was your kink."

James Smith

I love how effortlessly Ted just slides back into dynamics like Roy, Phoebe, and Roy's sister/Phoebe's mom (I'm not sure we know her name yet; the wiki lists her as Dr. Jenni O'Sullivan).

Kaley

Do you think this will impact if Apple renews “Ted Lasso” for S5 and S6? I hope the negative reviews I’m seeing are just noise and not the majority…

Charlie Tocher

My current theory is that one of the reasons Alice is so hard on Gemma because she knows Gemma has all the talent in the world but in Alice’s POV she is wasting the opportunity by not being fully committed, and for someone who lost their dream through injury that must really infuriate. It’s the hints of “lazy cow” and not warming up that make me think this. It’s a very well known trope in football of the mercurial talent who could’ve had it all if they’d just applied themselves that little bit more, taken it more seriously but the game came just a little too easy for them. Similar to Jamie except Gemma’s “flaw” is her application towards the game whereas Jamie’s was attitude towards other people.

Movie Night

I think that's a great perspective! I hadn't considered that, and I'm not well versed enough in football to know the tropes. I wonder if she's also a bit of this season's "Nate," who in a way, misunderstands what it means to be "masculine" and in a position of power. Nate overcorrected and became a bully, and despite her obvious emotional investment, Alice is determined to hide that and be an absolute hardass. Considering the parallel of Elaine Pinter this episode, and how rigid she is (both of them are women in male dominated professions), I wonder if they're meant to parallel each other. Feeling like they have to be extra tough and emotionless to be taken seriously. That's part of why Alice struggles so much with Ted--he's the definition of healthy masculinity, and everything she has been trained to believe she can't be to succeed.

Charlie Tocher

I wouldn’t be surprised if that thought was in the writers room, also notable to your point is that the sponsor is “Pinter & Sons’ Private Banking”

Kevin (GiantFutures.com)

Gemma theory: Gemma was Alice’s teammate when Alice got injured. Both characters noted they “played” together, but Gemma’s grudge is all things that coaches do. I bet that when Alice was injured, she tended to try to take a mentor-role (or so she thought) for her team as she went through multiple recoveries. She probably saw Gemma as the most talented, but her frustrations over not playing turned to jealousy and bitterness against Gemma for not taking her gift…not just of talent, but also health…seriously, turning into the pressure of her not taking advantage of what she had. Alice isn’t this season’s Roy, or this season’s Nate-S2…she’s Nate’s Dad. (But also her own person in a whole.)

Movie Night

I have to assume they knew this would happen, and will take that into account. I guess people like us just have to be loud in our support, but I would be surprised if they cancel the series over it. I hope anyway lol

Kaley

Me too! I have a feeling they’ve prepped already! And based on the breaking of the viewership record Apple released, suggests they’re doing well and pay more attention to that than reviews

Kaley

Hi Jacqui! Sorry to comment here again, but did you notice they played the beginning of the opening to “A Chorus Line” when everyone was lined up for tryouts (they cut it right before everyone sings “God I hope I get it…”)? Almost like it was a casting call or auditions-we love a musical theater moment!

Rotten Tomatoes current has S4 at 90%, which is a little lower than the first two seasons (S1 - 92%, S2 - 98%) but quite a step up from S3, which only got 80% on RT.

Maybe, but probably not full biological siblings... perhaps adopted or half-sisters? Abbie Hern, the actress who plays Gemma, is biracial (Barbadian and Welsh). She's very obviously a different ethnicity than the actress who plays Alice (Tanya Reynolds), who is English and Italian.
