I'm fully in love with the way this show lets its characters fail in front of each other, the way characters call each other out for wrong-ass behaviour, the way forgive and reconcile... folks seeing each other, showing each other kindness. Even though it's paper-thin in some areas, the areas in which Ted Lasso are trying the hardest to succeed (humour through character and empathy, mainly), it's just f*ing **excelling. Also: Hannah Waddington is just ridiculously good in this episode. I know I've seen her in several things over the years, but I hadn't quite noticed how great she is at the acting until this role.
Lol Talking about Elizabeth
Alina: "You think that we should give her a big hug?"
Aram: "I think she probably needs one."
I loved what Liz said about double standards. The writers are even spelling it out for the Elizabeth haters.
Didn't mention it the last 2 times, but I just LOVE the "nicknames" or "professions" written below the judges' names (like "French Willy Wonka" in the last episode xD), and also loving how the Frosted Tip sections have become just as trolling as the nicknames. :'D
This is, hands down, the absolutely best episode in the history of Nailed It.
Amanda <3 be still my heart
You guys hid Liz all this while to end up with..what is this.
Now THAT is how you write TV. One word, that last word, took this episode from great, to un-fucking-forgettable.
Liked Megan Boones acting in this episode. I remember when she was the new girl and we wondered why they picked this actress. She's done well.
Raymond was really reaching heart stuff
“This is gonna be a gas.” :joy: Good one liner by Restler.
Overall, the animation was a bit stiff, but perhaps expected as such given the incredible short notice with which the project to produce it must have been thrown together. The inventive transitions helped. In the end, I appreciate the dedication that brought it to us rather than simply letting the season effectively dangle after ep. 18.
I wonder how much of Elizabeth's IMO-far-too-easy slide completely over to the Mom Side (my only real problem with the plot development here) was rushed by the need to complete it with this one episode as opposed to across the originally planned four episodes that this one effectively replaced.
This episode was awesome! And the ending... now I can’t wait for episode 5. The only thing I don’t like is Narek and his scenes with Soji. They have no chemistry and their story is so boring.
