There were several people who eventually went to jail for it and, IIRC, they all used phishing attacks. There was no exploit or hack of the iCloud system itself.
I recently re-watched episode one. I think it’s in the very first episode when Ted is putting tape over the naughty bits and Keely thinks at first that she’s caught him ogling. If the photo is still there, it’s probably the doctored version.
Kind of agree. The dialogue between the players generally sounds a little overwritten to me relative to the dialog among main characters. It sometimes comes off as facile, which is not an effect you want when handling a fairly serious issue. It’s better to just show people a story than write in a message. It would have been sufficient to show Keely’s journey alone, and the reactions of those closest to her, but at least it moved the story forward with the gay guy being found out.
I was okay about Hey Jude.
FWIW, this episode was written by Keeley Hazell, who plays Bex on the show. The Keeley Jones character was partly inspired by Hazell. About 15 years ago, a private sex video of Hazell was leaked without her permission. So maybe that context helps.
I liked this episode well enough. I’d been wondering how they were going to get rid of Keeley’s girlfriend.
I’m still appalled at how stupid last week’s stunt with the red cord was. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Ruined the whole episode for me. Something that could have easily torn off a body part played for laughs? And was supposed to really have been allowed and agreed to by all parties? I’ve been able to easily overlook every other plot silliness until this one. Hopefully the writers don’t sink to this level again.
Eh… I mean, you’re not wrong. But I guess for me it was SO silly that it was clearly just “here’s a silly made up situation, play along and get some mild chuckles”. The whole show is sufficiently divorced from reality that I was happy to suspend my disbelief. Although I certainly agree it was a fairly weak bit.
I mean, remember, this is a show in which the initial premise is that a team in the English Premiere League literally hires a college football coach who doesn’t know anything about soccer as their head coach. So there’s a layer of implausible-things-will-happen-just-go-with-it built in from the beginning.
True, but sometimes it tries to have things both ways. The world of soccer is so homophobic that Colin is afraid to come out as gay and yet soccer players have no homophobic concerns with tying their dicks to each other?
At first I thought it amusing. It reminded me of when I used to do martial arts, and we used to spar with one of our shoe’s laces tied to the other. But when folk would be running in different directions, the likelihood of serious injury overtook the amusement for me.
I think it’s pretty clear that in the show, Colin is pointlessly afraid, and his teammates will accept him. But the broader point that consistency is not one of the show’s strengths is certainly fair.
There are still so many people in the closet, in their minds for good reason, I don’t think it’s as pointless as all that. He’s a public figure, and he may be more afraid of if his parents found out.
Some of the team come from places like Nigeria where same-sex relationships are still illegal and not accepted by many. So I would not be surprised if he has reason to fear the team finding out. And even if Richmond is accepting, the rest of the football community may not be.
This is Ted Lasso world where team members decide not to look at stolen nudes after a five minute discussion. I’m betting on a “I’m Spartacus” moment.
Sure. But I think it’s pretty clear that his actual teammates will be fine with it. Possibly to a slightly unrealistic degree. It would just not fit the show for one of the AFC Richmond players to be homophobic to an extent not overcome by one 5-minute Ted talk.
I think it was more like after a five minute discussion, Isaac unilaterally decides for everyone that they must all delete their photos.
edit to add
makes you wonder why he couldn’t be that decisive when trying to decide where to spend the night off in Amsterdam.
I think it will be longer than that. It’s shaping up to be the main story of the next episode at least. Of course they’ll all come to accept him when all is said and done.
As far as I can tell there have been zero openly gay premier league players and maybe one who came out after he retired. If a player were to come out it would be a big deal.
If a Premier League coach forced his players to tie their penises together, it would be an even bigger deal.
Some things are easily dismissed as silly sitcom shenanigans, and other things have a heavier implication. That’s just television.
Exactly. The show tries to make bigger points about life and also throws in silly jokes. In real life the string incident wouldn’t work on any level. On a practical level they would find out in 30 seconds it wouldn’t work. It’s not meant to be taken seriously.
Now that was a good old fashioned fucking perfect Ted Lasso episode.
Colin’s coming out was well done and Isaac was only mad because Colin didn’t trust him to behave well. Nate not taking the bait (and his grey is going away). Roy getting the stick out of his ass. Some actual football. Great stuff.
Eh. I know this is a controversial opinion to hold here, but I would have enjoyed it quite a bit more with maybe 30 seconds of actual on-screen football. You know, like, either of Colin’s assists.
Did they just decide that’s a thing they never do anymore?
