Spoilers Ted Lasso Season 3 Discussion

I thought the series final was pretty good. No big surprises but it was a nice emotional farewell. Speaking of which I do have mixed feelings about the "Sound of Music" song. On one hand it feels like a little to much in that season 3 kind of way but on the other hand I love "The Sound of Music" and that might be my favorite song in the movie. So on it's own right it was still fun to watch.
It kind of reminds of a moment in "Goodbye Micheal" from "The Office" that was kind of the same and I felt was to much and that was when everyone in conference room sang "9,986,000 minutes" to him on his final day of work.

I loved it.
It left me with a big smile and warm feeling each week, I like feeling good and this show made me feel good and happy.
I'm sure it's not the last we have seen of this tv universe, I would love a Ted Lasso movie.

And Roy quietly sang along.
OOOkay.
Yeah, i love running gags that have a payoff and they've been building that payoff for 3 seasons. It was great
That was one of the few things i didn't like in the finale because for me it just didn't work both in the context of the show and the characters, they also mishandled it in my opinion from a writing point of view. You spend 2 minutes on what is supposed an emotional goodbye and Ted says Thank you
The scene with the players pulling out the pieces of the Believe sign was leagues more impactful and emotional.It seemed to me that someone on the show just wanted to have a musical number in the episode and pushed it through.
Since having musical numbers in TV shows it seems to have become a somewhat must have, especially when writers and producers of the show know or discover that a cast member can actually sing. Sometimes it is used to really great effect such as with the show Lucifer and the actor Tom Ellis, this was not it.
Ops
Finally watched the last 2 eps last night. If this is The End, I will miss Roy and Jamie, the Odd Couple I didn't know I needed. I loved the posters of Roy (the hair!) and Keeley in Jamie's room. The "offsides" bit. The players pulling bits of the Believe sign from everywhere. 
I needed this show.

It ties into the earlier episode about Julie Andrews and their favourite characters and Roy's favourite Andrews' character being Maria
Yes. It also ties into him doing the same thing to Let It Go.
Did anyone else hear Vader's theme when Rupert stormed down to the pitch, coat flying like a cape?
Just me then...
Just me then...
I wonder if was a mistake to not Redeem Rupert on some level. I mean everyone else ended up getting redeemed. Even Jamie's asshole dad , whose abusive behavior contributed to one of the shows most powerful and memorable scenes. We see he has decided to get help for his alcohol addiction.
Rupert was redeemed a little in the episode where Rebecca got the guys to turn down the super-league. You could see there the boy he had been who originally just loved the game. But he *chose* to put winning over everything else. People have to choose to be redeemable.
It's been a couple of weeks now and I'm still not sure how I feel about how they handled Rupert. They scariest thing about RM is that we was NOT a cartoon. And his super power was being unrattleable. So his meltdown rang a tad false.
OTOH the value of his meltdown at the end was how it showed the other characters. But really, by that time the only people who wanted to see Rupert "defeated once and for all!" was... Well, us.
It's not depicted often enough that it's a "trope" but I'm becoming increasingly disgruntled when I see Our Heroes say things like "You know, I'm so over this terrible person that was in my life. It doesn't matter to me anymore" but then the baddie still is eaten by a shark / is beheaded / loses everything / etc. Have the courage of your convictions, writers! If Our Heroes are really so serene and high minded then let them do it while the Unspeakable Evil rides off in his / her (hi Jack!) new yacht with the umpteenth girlfriend.
Ted Lasso wasn't the show where you needed to see someone lose. You wanted to see everyone else win!

Have those come up recently?
Back for a 4th series. Very unexpected, but a pleasant surprise. I much prefer this over a Ted lite spin off show.
