I felt Stinky’s pain her so much. She might’ve wanted a child of her own before but didn’t because of her love for Rupert. And I know all too well the pain of seeing the person you loved do something, that they never did with you, do with someone else. I just really feel for her here especially because she said, “He took a lot from me” in other episodes.
Rupert did it so he could watch the pain he could still inflict. And then said what he said with calm composed malice, contempt, and glee as he torments Rebecca with his utterly despicable self.
Many people want to see Nate get his ego stomped in the next season for being a prick in Season 2, but more than anything, I want to see Rupert get curbstomped
I’d say neither. This show is not about winning and humiliating the assholes. That’s below this show. I’d way rather see Nate realize that Rupert’s way is not the right one. I think Nate still has a chance at redemption. Hard to see Rupert redeemed though.
My theory? His age and stress of the competing clubs catches up to him in a big way and he has a cardiac arrest. Rebecca has her chance to gloat at the hospital but doesn’t take it because all throughout S3 with Nate it’s shown kicking others when they’re down isn’t as satisfying as one might hope. Instead, Rupert confesses that this is a huge wake-up call for him... by the time his daughter finishes primary school he will be a decrepit old man with a pacemaker and that’ll be the only memories he can give to his only lasting, real legacy, unless he makes big changes quick. So I guess you could say... he has a literal change of heart.
@@timothyflynn2738 i can absolutely see that as a way for Rupert to redeem himself, however unlikely it may be, id want that to be the scene if ever it happens
"You're not a character in the Bible" is a good burn for a man that age wanting to become a Daddy. I'm 42, and I have pretty much accepted that I will have one. I couldn't imagine wanting to have a child you know you probably won't live to see grow up.
What I think is particularly fascinating about this scene was that it was followed immediately by Rebecca going downstairs to Ted to come completely clean about her scheme. Maybe she realized that, no matter how much she tries to get back at Rupert, there's no depth to which he won't sink to hurt her. Maybe she realized in the face of a man that contemptuous, there was no point in continuing her quest for petty revenge.
It also might be that she realized he really is just a big fan of a bad team. That means he will see the sports page, probably not watch the game or even the highlights, snarl and swear for a while...and then go on with the rest of his day like absolutely nothing happened. And that's it.
The best part of this is that he held back. There's an argument that he really means what he says and really thinks the way he's portraying. That's down to writing and a great performance. Slimy and manipulative and all of that are great. But slimy and manipulative AND arguably not doing it out of spite? Oh that's better. A natural asshole is a better character than someone trying to be.
Nah he's clearly doing it out of spite otherwise he wouldn't have gone to specifically tell her in the first place. That's just him saving face and saying he didn't mean to say that. But Anthony head is fantastic though
@@mitchellbrough1615 We've seen now multiple times what his spite looks like and I still maintain that conversation wasn't it. His spite is sneaky and conniving with lots of "devil in the ear" behavior. This was direct and straightforward. And again, he actually stopped himself from saying "I didn't want to have a baby with you". I think this was him attempting to be genuine and still just being an asshole naturally. Later he seems genuinely happy to be a father as well. It does seem that this particular decision really did mean a lot to him.
“I’m so glad I got to tell you in person” pretty much removes all doubt. He did jt knowing it was an asshole thing to do and he just wanted to see her reaction. Her eyes getting teary satisfied him.
@@ilo5736 Remmeber that up til that point we had gotten multiple complaints from her about how he never told her things in person and she found out stuff via tabloids. Between that and him actually holding back from saying "I didn't want one with you" it just doesn't fit his pattern when he is being hurtful.
Gods do I hate Rupert Manion as a person. Love him as a character, but LOATHE him as a person. Anthony Head's last character named Rupert was a MUCH better person, and would likely have wanted to kill this Rupert.
I feel like I may have met some people who care enough about a sports team to think this is an equivalent response to Rebecca fucking over the Richmond team.
@@benjihuynh2970 he's a sick f*ck. He cheated on her for years and said for decades he didn't want a child, just to know when she probably thinks that time is over for her to have one, just to watch it hurt her.
I haven't watched the series yet. I've been content so far with clips, analysis, & popular commentary. I understand it's excellent. That said... Pretending to care by saying "I wanted to be the one to tell you..." He just wanted to see the look on her face up close. Especially given that the newer woman is also named Rebecca, is younger, etc. We don't know what their conversations were like when he shut down on her when children came up during their marriage. Truth may be that the child was unintended but is already another opportunity to hit back at her for taking the team, the divorce, etc. I'm glad Rebecca held her ground, & stayed on the path to releasing the spite because this bitter cycle could've continued for the rest of their lives.
Was thinking the same, doubt he did, at least not perfectly, it sounded more just like: zoip zip, bebede boop bap, kinda thing, I think there were words he said in forward mode , than reverse, plus he didn't do the hands to ears
There are a lot of things i wouldn't have a problem doing to people. But what this guy did, that i can't do. I'm only a mean bastard when people beg for it.
I think it's the only good thing they showed him do, was at least be upfront with people, even if there are other negative attachments to that, like here wanting to run a few things in her face, but he is upfront
This isn't him being upfront. He blugeoned her with info he knew would hurt her, and did it in person because he wanted to see the pain. This dude is such an a-hole, makes a fantastic antagonist tho.
I had to tell a friend of mine that his ex wife who aborted his kid had had a baby with someone else a year later. All his "friends" had neglected to even mention her pregnancy. Life is cruel.

Anthony Head is crushing it in this role, just magnetic to watch. Hope he becomes a series regular in season 3!
Great acting! He really sells the idea that his character is a true pile of human feces!
thank you Tim beautiful comment
I mean...he is a sports team owner.
I laughed so fucking hard at that pile of dust line
Its a great one.
Hannah is force of nature in acting
"Cras" is Latin for tomorrow.
It also has the word "nate" in it which I believe is Latin for selfish and insecure backstabber.
And “pro” means for so “pro cras” is “for tomorrow”

Anthony Head is one hell of an actor.
As someone who knows him best as Giles, he’s practically unrecognizable!
Look him up in Rocky Horror. ;) Prepare to have your socks blown off.
Buffy would be so disappointed if she saw him now
@@gerstein03 I think it was all those times he got knocked out, it’s affected his personality.

First hint about Rupert buying another football club @ 1:33
Rupert is basically Emperor Palpatine with a black Amex card.
& Nate is the Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader with a death wish.
I remember Jason mentioning season two is the Empire Strikes Back

You can tell he wanted to tell her, just to hurt her, just for sh!ts & giggles.

No, he’s a prick. Just gotta go back to the dart game and when he made sure Robbie Williams didn’t make the Richmond benefit party.
The rewind button has to be one of my favorite Ted moments 😂
"What are you a character from the effing bible??!!"
never thought I'd hear that as an insult. lol
You know he's practiced his reverse motions
I hope to see Rupert more in season 3 the chemistry between anthony and Hannah is electric
What a piece of shirt! Rupert of course!!

They had an dual Xander episode. Why not?
What are you a character from the Bible has to be the line of the century
So I only just started this show, but whenever Rupert is on screen, I feel an almost instinctual need to hiss like a cat.
Why he's so angry at her is startling.
I feel like I may have met some people who care enough about a sports team to think this is an equivalent response to Rebecca fucking over the Richmond team.
She left HIM, probably the first time in forever he didn't get his way.
@@benjihuynh2970 he's a sick f*ck. He cheated on her for years and said for decades he didn't want a child, just to know when she probably thinks that time is over for her to have one, just to watch it hurt her.
He plays a good jerk… that role was cast well.
Rupert has gone a long way down since Buffy finale. At least he made a lot of money considering he begun as librarian.
The breakdown of the word ‘procrastinate’ was lovingly borrowed from the movie the night shift. Michael Keaton breaking down the word ‘prostitute’
Its incredibly selfish to have a child when you're that old. You can easily die when they're young and leave them basically alone
or with their mother

You guys think that the storyline will end up with Ted and the owner?
I have wondered that. Maybe.
Surprisingly I know how she feels, I just found out a couple of days ago my ex just had a baby with the woman he cheated on me with
Rebecca did not deserve that even though she was a cow in season 1
Only from being hurt. She was trying to get back at that horrible "man" that called himself her husband.
Ace Ventura did it better
