bug i trapped in a glass waiting for me to open the window to release it

Jamie is not an idiot for thinking password is spelled with one “s” he’s just dyslexic (ok maybe he’s a bit of both)

There are other moments throughout the series that confirm this I promise.

No you don’t understand I’m actually frothing at the mouth at the choice to make Colin take that position during the nudes discussion

because you can’t really claim he was doing it just to posture and fit in with the other guys; Isaac, Dani, Sam and Jamie were all firmly on the side of ‘delete, don’t look, do the right thing’ and he didn’t join in. Even if we know he wouldn’t actually have watched the videos as a gay man, he’s still perpetuating the idea that watching the videos of women leaked against their will is okay. And surely Colin of all people would understand that leaking private stuff like this hurts people? Given his status, I’d put money on Colin never sharing nudes with boyfriends, for obvious reasons. So is his view ‘well I’m always super careful; these women should have been careful too it’s their own fault’? Would Colin consider a woman’s nudes being leaked to be less traumatic than, say, a queer man being outed against his will? And we can guess Colin dates a lot of out guys, but what about the nudes of closeted gay men that he might date? Men who also wouldn’t like those spread around? Isn’t Colin as careful with those as Sam is with his ex-gfs pics? And come on dude what was with the whole ‘they’re my property’ thing? How much of this is garden variety casual obtained sexism and stupidity and how much is the entitlement and slight self-centredness that comes naturally to a guy who would have entered the Premier League as a teenager?

now this may sound like I’m getting at Colin but again you don’t understand, because the Ted Lasso writers could have given me an unproblematic gay baby and instead they’ve given me flaws and nuance and complications all played by the prettiest face this side of Cardiff, I’m fucking delighted with Colin’s character right now.

AGAIN, on the one hand: Isaac talking about privacy and then taking Colin’s phone to delete his pictures himself creates something of a dichotomy

on the other hand: if my friend said he was going to be getting off to the intimate media of women who absolutely had not consented to him seeing them, vocally resisted deleting intimate media of exes who he was no longer seeing, and then sloped off while everyone else in our friendship group was being suitably accountable and told me to fuck off when I called him on it, I too would be wanting to delete his pictures myself. OR throw his phone into a wood chipper. (And this is Isaac, king of the big cranky physical gesture. my man was being RESTRAINED.)

"I really hope thats why Issac is mad with him in the next episode, not for hiding his sexuality but for the joke he made being unacceptable."

from someone who makes "sounds a bit gay, bruv" jokes? doubt

Yeah that’s a good point, it would be kinda hypocritical (and maybe a bit out of character) for Isaac to be mad a Colin when he makes similarly offensive comments.

I don’t think that’s what’s going to happen tbh but I also feel like the “I’m your best friend I though we trusted each other” storyline is over done and it would be nice to see something else.

After this episode I wouldn’t be mad if Roy and keeley didn’t get back together. I don’t think he was intentionally being rude but Roy’s constant inability to properly communicate has been an ongoing plot point since season 1. Yeah he’s gotten better but overall he still struggles with it and I don’t think his and keeley’s relationship can work until he gets better at communicating.

I like Colin’s character, but him being gay doesn’t excuse the fact that the comment he made in the change room was horrible.

Like I understand why he did it (to protect himself) but that doesn’t make it ok. I really hope thats why Issac is mad with him in the next episode, not for hiding his sexuality but for the joke he made being unacceptable.

Also Jaime is dyslexic.
