The Bear (FX/Hulu)

[psychobain]

the only thing missing on this show is a THE NATIONAL song

[Simple Torture]

This show used some of the most obvious musical cues of all time but even they were like, “The National is too on the nose.”

[Mecca]

I’m pretty sure c_b fell asleep in the crowd of a National show

Halfway thru season 2. 25 Miles to Go! What a jam! Loved it at the end of Adventures in Babysitting; love it still.

Did they not need anything from the cooler the entire night?

For a soft opening with an inflexible guest list and a set tasting menu, this is actually a reasonable assumption

Now I feel ridiculous that 99% of the viewers would’ve understood this.

Nah I think it’s a fair question. But yeah anyone who’s worked in a solid kitchen wouldn’t second guess this.

Why was Carmy going in there then?

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

To gather his thoughts

Anyone who’s worked in the food business knows you only go into the cooler to cry

Thru 7.

6 was like Kendrick Lamar’s latest album. I recognize it’s an incredible achievement and the talent is otherworldly, but what a fucking crucible to get though. I was so tense that I didn’t enjoy it at all.

7, on the other hand, was such a joy. And look - Love Song is one of the greatest songs ever written. If it doesn’t make you happy, you’re in a bad way.

you know . . . with love comes strange currencies

[VinylGuy]

i love what they did with Richie this season yeah.

[VinylGuy]

good for them

[Chris_H_2]

Emmy noms for White, Edebiri, and Moss-Bachrach

so wait, they consider the bear a comedy?

[Simple Torture]

Basically hour-long shows are dramas, half hours are comedies. There might be a few exceptions, but that is pretty standard.

[Chris_H_2]

sounds like they put a lot of thought and effort into it

More like a comedy of errors, amirite?

Just finished off season 1 last night. Not bad, not bad at all
