S3 - The Loop

This season open and ended with Chicago's Loop.

What changed? S1 and 2 had nestled loops (storylines within storylines, all interconnected) that open and closed within the same season with hopeful cliffhangers, meaning the family lunch or the fridge guy freeing Carmy from the walk-in, whereas this season had an open loop → TBC and no hopeful cliffhanger, just a bad review that seems to be sealing The Bear's fate.

Loops, any type of them, are used in storytelling to hold attention (if well executed).

But what does a loop mean?

Bears the question:

Are we coming back to the beginning of the story?

What was it?

Why looping back to Syd now? Why like this?

I don't know, IMO she shouldn't have been relegated in the first place to then be looped back to. BUT since this is where we are at, I'm glad we are going back to the roots where all there was, was a chef with panic attacks that wanted to protect his late brother's legacy and for that he turned to Syd, who made him forget what UPS was.

Carm is detached from her right now and that's why everything is going to hell, or looks like it. But this season is the loop, he will loop back to her.

Or something will take them both back to the origins, when all there was was a family business he tried to keep afloat.

I think the star will come, sure, but Carmy they will stop chasing it. They will prioritize other things, way more valuable than a star, because chasing that star is what's killing them, they will come back to their roots and this season failed to show us that, this season showed us the open loop, not the closure of it and that's what failed because for an open loop to work, you need to end on a hopeful note, not on a loopy note.

Anyway... it all keeps pointing to S4 being the season in which some Sydcarmy action will happen, because if he comes back to what truly matters to him, he will have to come back to this moment:

Update: → The loop has begun to close already.

HC that Kevin has a dedicated time slot to go to the swimming pool not only because it’s a great sport to strengthen his body muscles and to reduce the pain in his wrist but also because it’s the only time where his mind stays quiet and he gets to keep his thoughts quiet. He could do laps upon laps for over an hour and it will leave him both exhausted and stress free for a blissful moment before he has to get back to real life.

Matt noticing Kevin has been eerily quiet for a few days so he asks Kevin if he can come to the swimming pool with him because he knows Kevin will push himself too hard again and could accidentally get injured. Kevin is surprised by the question but he says yes. Cue Matt going with him and realizing swimming DOES feel great so he goes back with Kevin again the following week. While Neil has Kevin’s evenings, Matt suddenly finds himself having two hours at the pool with him on Thursdays and he loves it. They get to talk about random things in the car and the locker room, Matt gets outraged Kevin hasn’t seen a certain movie, Kevin is unimpressed by Matt’s breaststroke. Matt holds Kevin up to it so they hold mini swimming competitions. Funnily enough, that’s how they really start bonding and enjoying each other’s company.

man we all know charlie had an emo phase but I really wanna explore the possibility she wasn't always the charlie we see now. she wasn't always gentle or kind or optimistic and all of those things are hard-won after battling the opposite. that maybe at some point, bitterness and anger and spite started eating her alive and she changed for herself first. that her kindness is selfish at its root, that her altruism is self-serving above all else, because if she kept on the same path, there might be nothing else left of her. and at some point it stopped being about her and started to be about others.

and as a bonus? this version of charlie would pair perfectly with a version of vaggie who wasn't always guilt-ridden, who truly believed in her cause. who was lethal and ruthless and loved what she did because she believed and ultimately it was what did her in. who had truly never hesitated before that child, because extermination wasn't just a necessity, it was a game. entertainment.

idk I just. I love their dynamic already so much but the contrast of charlie becoming optimistic for herself vs vaggie developing guilt and shame over others, and both of them finding the harmony between those extremes?
