My Favorite Show Is Ending Next Week, So Its Time To Develop A New Personality Trait (read: Piece Of

My favorite show is ending next week, so it’s time to develop a new personality trait (read: piece of media to become obsessed with). I’m thinking Breath of the Wild, which I may or may not have spent six hours playing yesterday.

THE 60 PAGE LETTER. THERE IT IS.

Okay about Nate’s apology to Will, tho. As someone who has never shut up once in my life, I can kind of relate to both Ted and Nate in the ways they describe and connect things when they talk, especially when they’re trying to be funny.

But Nate doesn’t do any of that with his note to Will. He doesn’t explain. He doesn’t grovel. He just says “I’m sorry.” He doesn’t hide behind clever turns of phrase. He doesn’t even call himself the wunderkind.

Idk I just thinks it takes a lot of courage to let a simple “I’m sorry” like that drift out into the open where anything could happen to it.

With Ted Lasso over, it’s time to return home to New Girl.

TIME FOR MY TAKES ABOUT BIG DOOR PRIZE, having read the book AND watched the show. Vague spoilers ahead.

The book was surprisingly dark. Why do dark, Walsh? Why make me SO STRESSED? That’s not a criticism, just something that surprised me.

The show used NO JOHN PRINE SONGS. In a show NAMED FOR A JOHN PRINE SONG. What gives?

Dusty > Douglas, but only because of Chris O’Dowd. I did miss the trombone and beret.

In fact, I liked most of the show characters more than their book counterparts, EXCEPT Father Reuben/Father Pete. Oh how I missed Father Pete and his sense of humor.

The takes on Jacob are both really good, but the book broke my heart (and gave me a glimmer of hope at the end) while the show warmed my heart. Do with that what you will, knowing that Jacob’s character is an examination of guilt and grief.

It did my heart good to see Trina happy in the show after reading the book.

Show!Deerfield is so generic. I missed knowing I was in the rural south; it felt so integral to the novel.

WHAT IS UP WITH THE SCIFI-ASS ENDING OF THE SHOW? That kind of seems to defeat the plot of the book entirely. This is a new thing now. It’s good, they’re both good, but they’re not the same. BLUE DOTS? Is it ALIENS?

Also, while I’m here: if you let Dusty and Cass split up, you legally have to change the name of the show. HAVE YOU EVEN LISTENED TO THE SONG???

Apple please actually make a season 2, this is NOT an acceptable ending.

Ted Lasso 🤝 ATLA 🤝 being a deceptively deep three-act television comedy about our weakest moments and the choices we make to be better for ourselves and the people around us, featuring some of the best “redemption arcs” ever put to screen.
