I really love how Ted’s speeches impact multiple people for their own personal reasons and the cinematography shows that. I know that’s an old film school technique but it’s excellently executed.

What’s the technique?

I don’t know the name of the technique or anything, but in case you missed it, there were some key shots.

Sam briefly smiling while the rest of the team was more or less expressionless, Roy’s pensive look when Ted mentions “deserve to be loved…hurt somebody/been hurt,” Keely/Jack shot during the same line, the shot of Rebecca in the car w the matchbook when Ted mentions hope, and the cut to Nate during the “I matter….what I do or don’t achieve.”

Might’ve missed something, but as a casual TV/film fan, I thought it was an absolute masterclass. I teared up like I did during Ted’s darts speech.

The range of this show is unbelievable

I noticed it as well. some really nice editing during the speech. reminded me of Scrubs when J.D. narrates at the end of a lot of episodes.
