what is up with Nate, he's the only character on the show not carrying the feel good vibe or making you root for him. in S1 he had a nice (if predictable) arc starting off as the abused/ignored towel boy and using his savvy to gain the team's trust and move up to assistant coach.
so far in S2 he started off by bullying the new towel boy, and this restaurant table assertiveness thing was just so odd. he horks on a public bathroom mirror, goes super over the top to get the window seats (he couldn't have just started off with "excuse me, that table over there appears to be unoccupied, may we move to that spot please?") and makes an unwanted romantic advance. and then the standard "small victories" music plays in the background as he smugly grins to himself while taking the seat...I dunno about that, hopefully it's an intentional thing where he's flying off the rails and Ted has to reel him in cause he's wrecking my TL positive energy.
