    The "Renaissance painting portraying masculine melancholy" is probably my favorite joke of the whole series.

    Beard deduced it was Nate pretty easily. The list of suspects was Beard, Ted, Roy, Nate, Higgins, and Sharon.
    Beard knew it wasn't him or Ted.
    Sharon is bound by patient confidentiality, so she's out.
    Roy expresses his anger face-to-face, and doesn't like Trent.
    And Higgins doesn't have a bitter bone in his body.
    Once you eliminate the impossible...

    From the first moment we see a lot of petty or downright nasty acts from Nate, but never really pay attention to it because a) it is first played for laughs and later b) Nate is presented as weak, and in dire need of increased self-confidence. During season 2 we also see a lot of moments where Nate isn't taken seriously and other small aggressions towards him. None of these are done on purpose, but they are a large part of the interactions we see that involve Nate. One of the few moments of Nate and Ted together on screen this season is Ted outright laughing when Nate thinks he might be seen as a 'big dog' able to talk to Isaac, for example. It is a very well-done character arc, and I love it. Also wonderfully played by Nick Mohammed.

    It's really a tragic example of that kind of spiraling negative thinking. Nate couldn't get Ted's attention because Ted had a lot of his own stuff to deal with, and Nate's insecurity got him believing that it was because Ted didn't value him enough. So he tried harder, but since that was never the problem, Ted didn't respond to it the way Nate wanted and Nate felt abandoned. So Nate tried to convince himself that the problem was Ted -- that Ted wasn't good enough to see his worth, or was actively taking advantage of him. And every time Ted did in fact show that he did value Nate's contributions, Nate's insecurity twisted it into something else -- well, he isn't taking the credit for Nate's play, but obviously that's because he wants to be able to blame Nate if it fails.
    This kind of downward spiral is a typical presentation of a lot of mental health issues and a talented therapist could easily have taught him coping mechanisms to recognize when he's doing it and stop it from proceeding further. But Nate never went to see Dr. Sharon, now did he?
    Seasons 1 and 2 are really a masterwork of characterization in this way... I'm glad I could watch them along with you. Thanks for the reactions!

    That is the sad thing about Nate, that many of us understand his motivations and why he did what he did. Not an excuse at all, of course. So many of his issues go way back to his own problems with his father. That’s what happens when you don’t properly process and heal through your issues, you inevitably spread your shit upon those closest to you - a lesson that Ted learned this season.
    Looking forward to your season 3 reactions 😊

  • @SomeRandomStuff647
    @SomeRandomStuff647 8 місяців тому +7

    I like the contrast between Keeley and Nate's arcs at the end of this season. They've always been kind of kindred spirits in this show; they're often dealing with the same things at the same time and have the same fatal flaw of not valuing themselves enough. At the end of season 2, both Nate and Keeley are offered career-altering opportunities (the Rupert aspect aside, head coach of a premiere league football team is a career-altering opportunity), and you see them struggling with how to deal with that in relation to the people around them. I think so much of Nate's behavior in the last two episodes is driven by the fact that he can't allow himself to believe he's deserving of this role, and the pent up frustration at Ted not acknowledging him all season combines with his insecurities about his worth to make him resent Ted as a means of avoiding the conversation of him leaving for a "better" job.
    Something I've seen a lot of confusion about online is how Nate can't even be happy for the team's success at the end of season 2, but I don't think it's that. I think it's because when he accepts the job from Rupert, Richmond is still teetering between the champion's league and the premiere league, and in his ideal scenario, he's going to be able to act like a dick and then just leave all of them in the champion's league and never see them again (aka: never have to own up to behavior). When Richmond wins the game, it's the confirmation that he's going to have to encounter all these people again next season, and he's not just going to be able to cut and run. Really, really amazing character development with Nate over these two seasons.

    You can't fathom (or maybe you can) the sheer amount of angry threats people have made against the character of Nate after this episode across the world.
    But in some ways, I think that's just an excellent example of how amazing this show is at unfolding character arcs. And even though people are a bit more divided on Season 3 over the first 2, it still does a stellar job on the arcs these characters go through.

    LOL. I knew something was up with Nate even before I started watching the show, because my FB feed was mad at Nate. His hair kept getting grayer because in my mind, he was coloring his hair because he felt he wasn't reaching his potential and his opportunities were drying up when we first met him. As the season went on and he because more of a coach, he felt that it wasn't necessary to hide anymore. But this is just what I think was going on with his hair. It will be interesting to see what you think of season 3. Sad to see the state of Roy and Kheely... Great move by Trent Crimm.

    The worse part about Nate doing what he did was that had he just been a good guy and told Ted that Rupert offered him the head coaching job Ted would have been happy for him and even celebrated his accomplishment. There was no need to do what Nate did he didn't have to tear Ted down to push himself up.

  • @hanshotfirst4214
    @hanshotfirst4214 8 місяців тому +3

    Honestly I have always seen nate and his outburst in this finale as him seeing ted as a sort of father figure based on how Ted cared for him throughout season 1 and first half of season 2. So the second he didnt get the fatherly attention he craved or thinks he needed in that moment all the insecurities and such from his actual father/childhood took root and just was too much for him to process. It is so understandable and tragic but damn he still made me so mad and frustrated watching it unfold. I really do love the show and how it handles things

  • @stevenrod100
    @stevenrod100 8 місяців тому +5

    I could never bring myself to hate Nate. Even he knows it's not really Ted he's mad at. Everything he said to him this episode is what he really wished he could say to his father, but since he couldn't bring himself to do that, he unloaded on the only other father figure he had. Think about how he constantly tried to get his dad's approval but only ever got the cold shoulder. From the breakfast table to the dinner.

  • @DaniG-ex3vf
    @DaniG-ex3vf 8 місяців тому +1

    The difference between Nate and Keeley is that she has always been able to deal with her insecurities or people trying to put her down with confidence because she’s self-assured.
    Meanwhile, Nate was bullied and put down by his own father, employers and teammates. I am not justifying his behaviour, he should know better than to do what has been done to him, but I can see that his own insecurities and experiences have made him unable to enjoy success, happiness and friendship without self-sabotage. It’s actually very sad once you pass the rage of what he did.

  • @fayesouthall6604
    @fayesouthall6604 8 місяців тому +1

    Ted knows if Nate did that then he must have an ulterior motive. So much of what Nate said would be better directed towards his father. It hurts Ted but he knows Nate is hurting. I don’t know if you noticed the sign as Nate stormed out. “ winners never quit, quitters never win “ !

  • @mermaidday6701
    @mermaidday6701 8 місяців тому +14

    Nate has issues with his father and sees Ted as a father figure so taking things out on Ted wasn't just about Ted. He had his own problems that he was working out and Nate is a grown man and he shouldn't rely on Ted or anyone else for his own lack of self-confidence.

    • @kvoltti
      @kvoltti 8 місяців тому +2

      His father is aware of all he does and criticizes everything and his mother is indifferent to what he does and praises everything making that praise worth less. Nate has never developed that ability to feel internal worth he's still stuck in the same place as a child getting his picture put up on the fridge. That's why he was upset that the gift he got for Ted wasn't displayed in the Office. the same way a child might get upset if their parent takes a picture they drew off the fridge. The child can't separate themselves from the object. It's an extension of them. If the "parent" doesn't appear to hold the object in value then to the child it can be the same as the parent not valuing them.

Great reaction for the whole season! See what you think about Season 3 😊

    I'm not on Nate's side by any means, but I can't help but wonder how none of those around him saw his spiralling. Nate's behavior is the result of small things festering and he should have tried talking to Ted or Sharron about his feelings before letting them blow up for sure; however it can also be said Ted and Beard ignored some red flags along the way. Not their fault by any means but that doesn't mean they couldn't have prevented Nate's transformation. Ted had his own shit going on but Beard definitely saw this happening and could have said something (before chastising him about Colin)

    Without spoiling anything, S3 is a bit of a disappointment (to me), because the discipline of coherent story arcs in S1 and S2 just isn't maintained through S3.
    I'm not sure what the issues were, but my understanding is that there needed to be a lot of re-shoots, etc. Sound like too many voices in the writers' room or something.
    It's not that there aren't good episodes - S3 has some of the BEST episodes of the whole show - but I don't feel the series as a whole hangs together very well.
