What small moments felt out of character for the Ted Lasso universe? I don’t mean Nate’s arc or Keely is season 3. I mean what small event seemed like something the character wouldn’t do?
My example is Beard putting his bare ass on Rebecca’s counter top. He was odd and sexually adventurous but always seemed to have a handle on etiquette. It seemed out of character to do that.
Also Rupert putting his chance of being in the owners box to torment Rebecca for a bar bet. Those dart prizes didn’t seem equal. Picking the line-up doesn’t seem like such a big deal and I thought the stakes should have been higher to entice Rupert.
The opening scene with Ted and Rebecca in the kitchen because of the gas leak…look, if there were ticket stubs for the Ted/Rebecca hooking up bandwagon, I’d have ticket no1 & no2.
But that whole scene just seemed out of character for everyone, it was the only time I ever felt like the writers were lazy about throwing us viewers off. Not once before had there been that awkward sexual tension between them and then BAM out of left field they can’t make eye contact and talk about last night just because Beard and Jayne were bumping uglies?
To your point OP, Beard sitting on the counter and leaving a mess in the guest bedroom of someone they have shown he respects, seemed wildly out of character; even for someone as eccentric as Beard
