Yasso.. I Had An Emotional Realization About Shoresy Last Night...

[@Mill_O]

The last scenes in the final episode are basically an allegory for "Do you want more of this show?" to the viewers, as Shoresy himself tells Zee there's a whole team of players who now hate to lose. Any of us who enjoyed this show would *HATE* to see it lose.

[@Bootyeatter6969]

Exactly! I’d hate for this show to end, such Beauty in the final scene

[@Mike_Jones68]

you got that for fks right!

[@exodeus7959]

I just want bums in seats.

[@thadalicious-i4k]

You dont have to worry about that because they are already in production of season 2. Show is good enough to win an Emmy IMO.

[@Mill_O]

@@thadalicious-i4k Fantastic news, and agreed!

[@spooge33]

Shorsey is a bit deeper than one might expect, thanks to the writing and acting. Awesome.

[@DelousedMouse]

The "True Love" scene is such an emotional gut punch the entire season was building up to and it gets me every time.

[@connorsherrington7863]

Yep its just absolutely perfect

[@mikeoconnell8031]

100% , I feel the universe encapsulated. I'm high but I feel you

[@aacsmiles]

If your realization is how highly Shoresy values a family he can rely on, including his team, I agree.

[@CraftAero]

He stresses the importance of "that call" BECAUSE he has no one left to call. Also, he's a born leader and you see how happy the team is. I played Lacrosse in the 70's. No cell phones yet. We lined up at the payphones to call home. We had to keep it to 30seconds per call so everyone could get through.

[@yitoproductions]

@@CraftAerowell why doesn’t he call his foster dad instead? I get that he saw Nat’s mom as his real mom but she passed away which is why he’s alone with Nat in the end, but why doesn’t he sit with the rest of the team and just call his foster dad instead? Didn’t episode 4 imply that he had a pretty good relationship with him? Am I missing something?

[@CraftAero]

@@yitoproductions Yeah I thought of that. I even went back and watched that episode again. The only thing I can think of is that Shoresy didn't travel for the game, he lives there. Still sits a little awkward in the storyline though.

[@jeffrey.p.thornton]

@@yitoproductions Because it's not the same. It's great that Shoresy has his foster family, and enjoyed the love of a man whose vocation it was to pick up all these lost childen and give them a home. But as real as that love is, it will never replace his mom. So, Shoresy does what he can to honor her memory: he makes sure that all the guys lucky enough to have their parents around, show a little appreciation.

[@Thunda1986]

Even after everything frankie and shorsey have done to each other, it's like it's all forgotten, for now at last

[@symph25]

[@procomit4238]

One of the funniest series I have ever watched and and as soon as i finished the 2nd season I watched it all again this show has to go on cause i would hate to loose it

[@drboris01]

The final episode is some of the best TV I have ever seen. I now nothing about Hockey, but i know about "the love of the game" and the room gets very dusty every time I see the team leaving it all out on the ice and celebrating as though they had won the trophy. That look between Shoresy and Nat at the end of the game says it all.

[@JamesScheibli]

Shoresy hauling ass to Michaels the minute the final horn sounded to console him and show his appreciation... gets me every time.

[@zomday71]

@@JamesScheibli 100%. Anyone who has ever been on a team that really meant something to them has been on both ends of that conversation. It hits me right there as well. May be my favorite moment of the whole first season.

[@CraftAero]

I totally caught that 1st time through. We were a Foster family in the 70's and the episode with Scott Thompson just blew the Shorsey back-story the fuck up. The genius of introducing such a random selection of characters, that can be brought in for any given story arc, can't be understated. Also... I played Lacrosse back then. We had to line up at the local payphones and kept it to 30seconds so everyone could touch base (cell phones were just on Star Trek). Out of Province, we'd have the Coach call "a Mom" back home and She'd call all the other Moms, so we were covered. 👌

[@csblakeley]

I cannot watch that last episode without tearing up, both at the end of the game AND the scene in the snow before the credits. This show is about love, no question. It is deeply romantic without being a "romance".

[@johnrichardson3715]

I always get chocked up on that scene

[@edgarpan]

I love Letterkenny, so from continuously rewatching Letterkenny and then watching Littlekenny, I believe it's called. The kid cartoon version. I concluded that Katy & Wayne's dad was either: 1) The former toughest guy in Letterkenny back in the day, whom helped everyone and showed great respect, but his life was tragically cut short. So Wayne strives to be like his dad and being the toughest guy in Letterkenny is a way to honor his dad. Or... 2) Katy & Wayne's dad was a drunk and abusive dad. Abusive towards them, the mom and including their dog. So Wayne had to become tough at an early age in order to protect his sister and dog from their dad by taking all the beatings. Hence is wanting to be and remain the toughest guy in Letterkenny. More than likely he had to defeat his dad to do so too. And their dad isn't around because he is either dead or in prison. Wayne's dad being a mean, abusive drunk is what also made Wayne become a great, respectful, honest and helpful person. Which is the complete opposite of what his dad was. To be honest I'm leaning more towards the 2nd scenario. Again, only going with #2, because of the Letterkenny cartoon shorts. Littlekenny. Also, strong possibility that in both scenarios Katy & Wayne's mom died before their dad and while both Katy & Wayne were still little kids.

[@rickshelton85]

That's actually a pretty decent conclusion. My wife and I have been working on one where Wayne and Katy's family were actually Mennonites and the pair left for rumspringa. Uncle Eddie being the last one of their family to do the same, that's how they ended up in his care. It started out as just a joke but the deeper we got into it the more sense it started to make lol.

[@edgarpan]

@@rickshelton85 I think you may have something there with that Mennonite theory. Maybe both their dad and uncle Eddie were the Mennonites who left. Thus, instilling the ethic of "when a friend asks for help, you help them" mentality. Plus, I don't think Katy and Wayne have ever made fun of The Dyck's, like they would everyone else. It's only been Dary & Squirrely Dan who come down on the Mennonites. Considering how horny McMurray is, I wouldn't put it passed him to have also been a Mennonite once. Lol

[@rickshelton85]

@Edgar Paniagua see you're on the same page with us, I think it's pretty sound. Explains their strong work ethic and sense of community; how even though some of their morals and traditions are more liberal, they still take them very seriously and hold to them religiously; explains how they're so agriculturally inclined; let's say uncle Eddie tried some booze and women on his break so decided to start his own farm and open a bar and start getting all freaky (hence his ongoing thing with Gale and why he left Modean's to her). The Mennonites tend to shun the ones who leave so it would make sense they never bring it up when they visit. But the Dyck's are a sweet, sentimental clan that tend to make little exceptions (like when they adopt the dog) so it would make sense that's the ONE group of Mennonites that fuck with the group from the show. Might even suggest they're related. Hence Noah's fondness of Wayne and why Anita tends to fuss over Katy so much. The list goes on and on lol

Few shows on TV understand that comedy lives in the wide shot better than this one. Barry is a close second, and maybe better, but they've got HBO behind them.

[@ryancbarrett96]

Scrubs understood it perfectly i I think. Ridiculous gags and legit A level drama. If you haven't seen it, just watch any episodes with Brendan Fraser in it or the episodes called my lunch and my fallen idol.

[@ryancbarrett96]

@@UnleashthePhury I'm annoyed because I never picked up the box set because I was waiting for the Blu-ray that never came. Supposedly because it was shot and framed with 4:3 in mind and you'd see the background. Now it's over $100 because it's a collectors item, mostly because they didn't license the songs properly in the 1st 3 or 4 seasons. Not getting to hear Come Around by Rhett Miller at the end of My TCW was such a bummer when I binged on Amazon. One of my favorite episodes.

You have to love that little rug rat to get up every morning for that. I hope they appreciate it.

As someone who’s adopted it’s really nice to see this backstory cause people make fun of adopted people from what I’ve seen, it ain’t that bad we just chilling

[@TheMacroSlacker]

It probably has roots in caste systems widely seen in all cultures historically and still prominent in some. For example most people were peasant serfs in Europe and UK for quite some time. The only people who had surnames had power and wealth. They passed that to their recognized offspring but not to their bastards. So being a nameless bastard was as good as being back in the underclass who lived short brutal lives and were basically slaves. An orphan was lucky for any chance at survival in history but would not find success when social mobility did not exist. It sounds barbaric but those general cultural feelings are about 3 generations back or less for most of us I suspect.

They wouldn't fit this show. Shoresy is a different character by the end of the season. He is still the same guy but definitely matures and becomes the leader the team needs on and off the ice. He is still going to chirp everyone, fight, and be a pest, but also live up to being the Captain.
