But “thank You For Saving My Life” Maverick Has Spent More Than Three Decades Believing That The

but “thank you for saving my life” maverick has spent more than three decades believing that the world would be better if he had been the one to die in that crash. has tried to do everything he can to atone for that moment. including fulfilling the dying request of the boy’s mother (whom he loved like a sister) aided by his own fear of his surrogate son dying so so young like his father and estranging his son from him. maverick goes on that mission knowing he’ll die saving his son as his final act of atonement. and he almost gets his wish. until the son he pushed away saves him in return and he realizes. his death is not required for atonement. sacrifice doesn’t have to be the end but can allow him to live. to let the grief and the guilt go. to thank his son for saving his life. because he wants to live. and “it’s what my dad would have done” bradley doesn’t remember much of his father but he knows goose loved him. he knows goose would have done anything for maverick. but goose wasn’t the man who raised rooster. his dad raised him. his dad taught him of the love required to sacrifice yourself for others. his dad taught him to never leave your wingman. his dad taught him to not think, just do. and through all the pain and grief and time lost he finally understands. because dammit he is his fathers’ son.

One of the only things that has irked me so far this season is how Ted's "one out of eleven" style of coaching has kinda disappeared with Zava's arrival, but I think him feeling like he lost/is losing his sense of purpose in London offers a little bit of explanation.

midway through the episode, ted asks henry if he knows that he would only be away from him for something he truly believes in. henry immediately says he knows,  but ted so obviously isn’t sure of what his reason or purpose is anymore. meanwhile, the entire episode is a testament to how much ted has affected everyone around him for the past two years - the team works together so easily, jaime has assumed a real leadership role, rebecca is reminded of the importance of ted’s way over rupert’s, and the entire press room not only listens to him but participates alongside him showing how he has swayed popular opinion and culture as a whole. yet ted still doesn’t see why he’s there.

ted’s main thing is “believe,” but this season he’s the only who doesn’t believe.

knives out 1: in a world full of exploitation -- amidst rich assholes who are all playing their own games, in a country that feels entitled to a land they stole -- you have to play your own game, and a strategy of kindheartedness is valuable.

knives out 2: but beating them at their own game is also valuable. burning shit down will be the answer sometimes. and the rich are not immune to destruction, despite all their resources, because their networks are so toxic and codependent. and also they're dumb. they're a very shaky tower of cards.

It absolutely killed me how blatantly they show how comfortable Miguel O’Hara is with small children. The animators utilized the sheer power of body language to show that he was only irritated by Peter B Parker being annoying/irresponsible but meanwhile Miguel’s hands are perfectly maneuvering, almost on autopilot, to make sure Mayday stayed in a safe comfortable position even when she was being super wriggly and excitable. Showing that scene immediately after showing Miguel looking at pictures of him and his daughter.. i’m so unwell help

The fact that Ted Lasso cut away from Colin coming out to the team, after we hear him saying he doesn’t want to be a “spokesperson”, is so powerful to me.  As much as I love queer representation in media, I feel like sometimes there is this hyper-focus on the coming out scenes, as the pinnacle of the queer experience that get thrust into the spotlight for the emotional payout from the audience. 

That may resonate for some people, as coming out is obviously a big thing and can feel like a spotlight moment.  But I feel like there are a lot of people out there whose greatest wish is for coming out to not be a thing. To not be a big moment.  To not have to be a spokesperson.

And I love that Ted Lasso gave Colin that.

the way coral said "I killed them all for nothing" just before whe was bitten by a snake hit so hard. because for the whole games you saw her as a villian, as a bad person. But, just like everyone in that arena, she wanted to see her family and friends again, she was just a kid that wanted to live. And her last thought was about the innocent souls she had to kill for that.
