The Bear (FX/Hulu)

[epilogue]

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

I will add that my wife doesn't like it, but will reluctantly watch with me. She says it makes her too tense

No Emmy nom for JLC

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.

Mine says the same

If it doesn't make you tense you might not be human. The tension is a feature not a bug.

right? that's part of the shtick of the show (and i don't mean that in a pejorative sense).

[Chris_H_2]

obviously that's part of the appeal. In my wife's case, she can't shake it off, it keeps her up when she's trying to wind down.

sounds like she needs a real man to help her unwind.

I gave her a neck massage with CBD lotion last night while we watched Forks. I'm literally doing the best I can here.

buy her some nice cutlery

We're talking doug levels of cutlery respect here

Perhaps some nice disposable paring knives.

I mean.... the writer's strike is already delaying it.

My uninformed suspicion is that the writers are still writing when they're not picketing, because they love writing, and there's a lightning-in-a-bottle element to the craft, and they want to have stories ironed out / scripts ready when things are ready to go into production.

This is 100% speculation and I'll gladly toss it if you say I'm out of my depth!

I have no idea about The Bear. But the writers I know who are in the guild are not at all working on scripts they've been assigned or contracted for. They are writing new ideas or working in other writing fields (fiction, copy, etc). Now, that doesn't mean that maybe someone is writing a short story about cooks that then magically ends as a episode of The Bear S3.

But most of the WGA seems to be taking it very seriously. Especially after heavy hitters like Tony Gilroy were taken to task earlier.

[Chris_H_2]

has this thing even been officially picked up for another season?

I don't think anyone is saying that the show doesn't make them feel tense. They're saying that some people don't want to feel tense while unwinding in front of the TV, which is perfectly understandable.
