This is a BIG episode for Ted, I think. He's in pain (we already knew that from his panic attack in S1), but he never really confronted the source, and he's probably terrified about therapy - both because of the bad experience he had with couple's therapy where he got ganged up on, but also because he doesn't want to relive whatever trauma is the source of his pain. So... like he always does.... he masks the fear with humor.
I love the little hints of the friendship between Rebecca and Higgins now that they’ve moved past her bad intentions of season 1. Their resuming scatting after Roy and Keely leave the room is so great. I have so many questions as to why Nate chose Colin as the player he targets with his rage. Avoiding spilling any spoilers, so I’ll shut up on that subject. Also loved Doctor Sharon’s defense of her profession. When you’re done watching the series, I highly recommend checking out Cinema Therapy’s two videos on the series. They go into the show’s depiction of therapy as well as the various characters.
He went after Colin for the same reason he went after the new kit manager, low dogs on the totem pole. There is the fact that Colin was one of the guys who were bullying him earlier but he doesn't go after the others. His insecurities are behind him being a bully, doing to others what has been done to him all his life, but they keep him from doing it to someone who is higher up on the totem pole.
@18:00 - their names are another 'in hindsight' hint. There are a number of Cheers references in the series and Sam & Rebecca were the will-they-won't-they for a lot of the show's run.
Go back and rewatch at some point. They DO drop hints about Sam and Rebecca being attracted to each other. The most noticeable time is when Rebecca thinks Sam is asking her out, but he's actually talking her into coming to the Team meeting to break the curse. She agrees because of Sam.
@@DNReacts Watched your Who’s on First reaction yesterday. Have you seen a Canadian Skit by The Red Green Show called: The Good Old Hockey Game. It’s Canadian humor, so might or might not hit. 🤣
Fans of Sex and the City will recognize that the episode of Sex and the City that Keely is watching is the one where Carrie is freaking out about how her boyfriend Aiden is ALWAYS around. Carrie is losing her cool about it the exact moment that Keeley pauses and freaks out on Roy about the same thing. In SATC Aiden also gives Carrie a nice bath set up. I think it's a cute little nod to that series.
I still think it's hilarious that if you look at the credits - I forget the actor's name, but the full character name of the new kit man is.."Will Kitman". I'd pronounce it 'Kit'mn" if I were him.
Nate’s path here is tough- you’re right that he’s being a knob, but the lack of respect he gets from his dad combined with the previous bullying he received has made his ego incredibly fragile. Just as much as this episode was about Ted’s headspace, it’s also about Keely’s, Roy’s, and Nate’s headspaces.
It was awkward because they were both in their heads about their dating lives and the fact that they dont have a relationship with eachother even within the contrxt of the club. She does not interact with the players much at all. She interacts with Ted, Higgins, Keeley and, because of Keeley, Roy. She is highly distant towards everyone else that she employs at the club.
3 stages of acceptance. Flight, fight and accept. I one day. 😂 FYI re Nate, go back to episode one and watch Nate yelling at Ted and Beard. He gets no affection at home, he doesn’t feel Ted listens to him anymore, feeling like Roy is taking his place…
Have patience and trust the process. No spoilers but you picked up on a lot of threads..... everything happens for a reason even if it doesn't appear obvious at the time. A lot is also being set up for season three which will have a lot of call backs to moments in the earlier seasons.
Its a great series but will admit their is going to be tonal shift. Some comedy will always be there but it becomes more light drama and wholesome overall vs the first season was mostly just comedy.
