It’s my favorite S1 episode, and I have literally seen it hundreds of times, yet I always wonder: why do Ted and Beard not put anything in the Curse Fire? They are as much a part of the team as Rebecca and Higgins, so why are they not included/required? (I would love to see which of his axes Beard would bring lol) Is it because they are American? That is the only reason I can come up with, but it doesn’t really make sense.
I cannot imagine missing the explanation, nor can I understand how or why the script wouldn’t include them in the ritual.
Thoughts? 🤔 The answer? 😁
My gf and I asked ourselves this the other day while watching the episode
It has literally bothered me for years (3 to be exact lol).
But I came to the answer above when replying to another comment. It was (basically) a team building exercise and Ted & Beard were running it, trying to unite the disparate members (and management) of AFC Richmond. They didn’t “need” to bond as much as the players and management. 🤷🏻♀️
The fact is, Ted inspired the ghosts to believe in themselves, which gave them the strength they needed to truly move on. After 106 years, it wasn’t the show-and-tell sacrifice bullshit that exorcised the ghosts (they were too many to fight off anyways) it was the vote of confidence from the team that Ted initiated that helped them to enter the hereafter
Beard gave them mushrooms to help.
But they were a dud batch. Beard needs a better plug. Kenneth 🙄😆
I know. I have literally been on this board for years and have seen ALL OF THE SERIES hundreds of times. Your clever answer is cute, but not the answer.
I thought this said 51 questions re “Two Aces”.
I could probably come up with 51 trivia questions about Two Aces lol
yeah, i think they were just new to the team and didn’t really buy into the curse thing. dani didn’t put anything in either, just brought a bottle of tequila. it was more about the bonding exercise for the team, not so much about ted and beard. they didn’t really need to bond with the team in the same way.
i think ted and beard didn’t put anything in the curse fire because they were focused on helping the team bond, rather than needing to bond themselves. it was a bonding exercise after dani’s return further alienated jamie. they didn’t need to be part of the ritual as much as they needed to focus on the team doing the bonding. it’s about the lads and the team coming together for the good of afc richmond. ⚽❤️💙
