Iām so upset. What was the point of the season 2 bantr fakeout? What was the point of the finale opening scene fakeout that was clearly trying to make us think theyād slept together? What was the point of September 13, 1991? What was the point of the green army man? What was the point of the countless Nora Ephron references? What was the point of Ted being desperate to spend time with her in Amsterdam and upset that she didnāt answer his texts?
Who even was Ted this episode? The Ted Lasso weāve gotten to know over 3 seasons wouldnāt be so blasĆ© watching his players sing a choreographed Sound of Music number for him. He wouldnāt be completely silent and emotionally checked out watching as Rebecca Welton begs him to stay and tells him that Richmond is his home and that Henry could go to school there. He wouldnāt watch her weep at the airport and again just say absolutely nothing.
Why did Jamie and Royās development end up going backwards and in the end itās a misogynist love triangle that isnāt even resolved so Keeley gets no romantic endgame?
Rebecca spent this entire episode heartbroken at the thought of Ted leaving. She was willing to move to Kansas for him. But she ends up with a man who doesnāt even have a name and was introduced in one episode in the final season? If she wanted to be with him she would have gotten his name after their night in Amsterdam but she didnāt because she was satisfied with it being a fleeting connection.
Beard ends up with the woman who has been terrible and emotionally abusive to him for their entire relationship and even in this very episode shredded his passport?
We donāt even really know what happens to Ted. Either heās back with Michelle after finally accepting their marriage was over or he lives alone in Kansas without any of his found family or his soulmate and he still only has custody of his kid twice a month and he coaches little league.
The only person who got a Nora Ephron worthy ending was Nate, which Iām happy about and I was always rooting for his redemption and I love NateJade, but I wanted better for my leads!
Iām upset that the showās creator and lead actors called Ted and Rebecca soulmates, whether it be romantic or platonic, but they never even find out about their cosmic connections.
Iām upset that after knowing how many fans take Tedbecca seriously they decided to lace the entire final episode with a Tedbecca endgame setup with a morning-after fakeout, asking him to stay, Rebecca buying a first class ticket just for an airport scene that even Ted admits is straight out of a rom-com, just to rip it away in the last 5 minutes.
