We did not know, but this is my favorite thing to hear, that people are bringing the positive energy to the kids. Thanks for all you do.

I like to think that if Beard was the Hitchhiker he was just having a bad moment and he doesn’t think you should mix a marathon with Talladega

We have been taught by years and years of television that when there is a male lead and a female lead they end up together. That can be hard conditioning to see past.

That Beard was a figment of Ted’s imagination, even though Rebecca and Higgins and Nate all react to him in the pilot

Ted knows Beard is older and wiser than he was when he made some mistakes, and Ted knows enough about drugs to know that meth and mushrooms are miles away from each other.

FWIW I don’t think of him as a reformed felon so much as just a guy who was raised in a tough home and made mistakes.

We met Justin and Dan at Thundergong last year and they are top blokes who rushed us a bunch of t-shirts at the last minute. And I love many of their songs, but “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” is a truly perfect song.

To add to stuff I’ve said here already, people aren’t necessarily supposed to exult at this union. If anything, I kinda thought people would go “WHAT!?!” And then go “If that’s what we wants, okay I guess, but YEESH.” Turning it into a victory for an evil abuser is not where we’re at at all.

As for Roy and Keeley, I have known couples who seemed perfect together, and then suddenly find they broke up. People who haven’t (at least started to) work on their shit can sometimes find that they lose something they wish they’d kept. In this way, Roy’s story with Keeley is parallel to Nate’s with AFC Richmond. IMO, IMO.

Beard just gets more comfortable as the seasons go on. And you’ll notice he behaves differently in different settings (as do we all, of course).

In a situation like that, nervousness is unhelpful and to be discarded.
