Ted Lasso has bone Bond, with its own "Blofeld" villain

Posted on 10/09/2021 5:14:30 AM PDT by Notthemomma

Ted Lasso, on AppleTV+, has gone all James Bond-ish on us, with its own megalomanical, neatly dressed, bald or blondish supervillain Ernst Stavro Blofeld. I'm refering to ex kit-man, ex-assistant coach, and newly minted (apparently) main coach of an opposing team bought by Rebecca's wealthy ex-husband. Nate! The emotionally crippled man-child with seemingly great soccer tactical skills but no adult maturity or honest self-worth assessment. If you've seen the Season 3 finale final scene, you know what I mean. As soon as I saw the rear view of him standing there at his new team's practice, I said, that's Blofeld!

Anyway, what do you think?

Crap, as soon as I hit “post,” I saw the typo, Bone instead of Gone. An edit feature sure would be nice.

I haven’t watched the 2nd season yet. I’ve heard mixed reviews.

Season 2 is not as entertaining as 1 but it’s still an interesting show to watch. I think the writers/producers should have kept the show lighter, playing on the humor rather than go darker, JMHO.

Hit the abuse button and ask the mods to change it.

“Ted lasso has bone(d) Bond is pretty funny, though.

One site I’m aware of has a fifteen-minute window for edits.

Yes this will be interesting. And I don’t think we’ve seen the last of Edwin Akufo. Now that we’ve gotten to know all the characters’ back stories its time to add a true foil. I liked the finale but “Rainbow” is my fav ep of season 2.

I enjoyed season 2, with the exception of that atrocious “Beard After Hours” episode...

I have no idea what this post is about (and I’m happy with that).

Bone bond is nothing to laugh about. You may even need amputation in extreme cases. Difficult to treat as well. Psychic therapy, shock treatment, leeches as well as a bunch of Harry Potter stuff all failed me. I ended up putting myself in a trance and using my astral projection to excise the Turkish scarab from the olecranon.
