THE BEAR → 3x02 Next

The Hot Take Machine is up and Running

Back in I believe february someone made a poll asking if the Bear was a white show or not because the majority of the main cast is not white.

Here's the post I wrote essentially breaking down what made it a white show. And after Watching season 3 I feel like what I said is reinforced.

@currymanganese

What is any poc on the shows ethnicity besides Ebra?

We know the berzattos are italian, richie and jimmy are polish, the faks are faks, and we get a bit even if just from richie of them speaking other languages. What is Tina's ethnicity? Beyond sounding like a ny-er. Is Marcus Carribean? He's catholic, or his mom was? Just learned what league Gary played in via a Fak. Do Manny and Angel have last names? if we didn't know anything abt that yt characters ethnicities and cultures, I wouldn't care. But We Do lol. So there.

I didn't even know yt ppl could have this many fictive kin and play cousins, where is anyone else's immediate or extended family and background?

We know Marcus has a younger brother, was that just shared to fill in a larger motif around sibling relationships? I know there is an ongoing theme around going it alone (Donna through child birth, Marcus's mom, Syd's dad, and Richie being alone as a father) so it will echo through diff characters. But black and brown ppl of most ethnicities not having anybody to turn to at all? Not knowing a guy with a job? Not making any meaningful connections until they get to the beef? We know the name of Richie's grandma and his daughter calls Donna auntie DD. But none of the black or brown ppl have grandparents, aunts, uncles, or cousins.

I know the berzatto family can be like the island of misfit toys but like I do suspend my disbelief because of this lol.

Look at how Syd & Tina are being treated.

I know how the people being booted from the 4 top looked A Way™, but I think its highlighting that outside of Berzatto land, Syd is getting treated in a very wild way. Like ships are cool but I literally only started this show for Syd & Tina and they are used as introspection tools for the Berzatto brothers, or to reassure one. We know they have people that love them and why they are at the beef/bear. But my opinion stands, this is a white show about a large dysfunctional family that happens to have black people in it.

I honestly think the poc not neatly gelling and the extensive Berzatto-Fak-Jerimovich-Kalinowski & Co outset being insular is okay because who wants to be tied up in that? and we see Sydney weighing if she wants to be connected to or apart of it that we don't see any other berzatto +1 get to decide. Because it is warm when it's warm. But it is demoralizing dismissive and defeating when not. And her former hero sometimes is the initiator or amplifier of Syd being treated that way.

my adrenaline has gone down finally so i feel i can give my thoughts on this season

no more faks! no more! please!

i think the series is taking inspiration from different art movements and genres. season one - surrealism?, season two - modernism?, season three - baroque? im not well versed on this stuff but i definitely noticed they use different forms of art to make the seasons feel different from one another

piggybacking off the earlier bulletin; i think thats also why this season feels like all flash and no substance. whatever movement or era they decided to do with season three is very ou la la oui oui i zam an artist bonjour /nm its very different from the movements they went with in the past seasons. this one feels serious and fancy smancy

i still think they’re going to go through with sydcarmy and this season just solidifies it. syd and carmy are severly mentally ill with issues they need to work out. they dont handle stress and expectations well if at all.

i think some of the things being said by the characters are being taken at face value specifically carmy calling claire peace. i dont think the writers are writing claire to be a source of peace for carmy; hes just so in denial and confused about his emotions he knows he supposed to feel peace from claire but cant figure out why he doesnt

i missed marcus sweeps and tina in this season so much. and syd! i was excited for sweeps to go to wine school only for it to be a one off thing. the tina episode was good but thats the only thing i can think of from the top of my head that she stood out in. marcus’ mom died? but it feels like she didnt die at all? like the weight of his moms death isnt being felt in his character and that made me really sad. i wanted a little more with syd and marcus with their moms :/

im not angry at carmy somehow? i just feel this deep sadness because he is so unlike himself. my initial frustrations with the season made it hard for me to look at his character. now that ive calmed down, he just makes me sad. like thinking about him makes me feel like a wet sausage dude he needs serious help and im scared he’s gonna do something very bad in this next season/part

i was really hoping there would be more parallels between new york carmy and current syd. they might explore it in season 4 and i really hope they do!

where tf was everyone else in the emergency room and why was it the two faks. there is no dissection in the world that will make me okay with those losers being there im sawry

syd being the first person sugar called and claire being the last mhm yup 🙂‍↕️

a good chunk of claire and carmys scenes being muted or cool colors once again!

RICHIE AND HIS DAUGHTER AA!! i wish they had an entire episode dedicated to them theyre so cute!

theres something to be said about loneliness and isolation this season? again i would need to rewatch the season. something something carmy pushing syd away something something nat fearing giving birth because of her mom something something syd having a breakdown and isolating herself from the rest of the fam something something

pete ❤️

chris you have reached ur limit on white male characters enough is enough theres NO MORE ROOM

ngl i actually liked seeing john cena on my screen yall pls

why are we so close to everyones face i zont like zat at all

i thought they were going to bring louis back and got so excited!!! BRING BACK LOUIS

they wrap up the claire storyline by season 4 or part three?? whatever theyre doing idk

LUCA!!!!!!

as much one sided beef i have with jlc she delivered i crode very hard

backseating the characters of color is very lame and bogus! i hated it! what happened to tinas friends she met at school? does ebra not have family? syd and her dad? marcus and his roommate? so many characters they could introduce from sydney marcus tina ebra fuck even angel and manny but they insist on introducing characters that have ties to the berzattos. i hate it! i really do!

syds apartment? where did you go fren….

i wish they were more artsy fartsy with carmys internal struggles give me cringe film student vibes please ill take anything

FUCK CICERO he didnt do anything but PISS ME OFF >:(

why didnt they have syd work out the economics (or whatever tf that computer dude did do). didnt she do something like that in season one? i guess since cicero called him it makes sense

richie and nat are so adorable i love them!!!!

overall pretty mediocre season. it was okay for a show like the bear. i don’t agree with having an entire season dedicated to build up! or atleast in the way they’ve done it in season 3. season 1 was a prologue for the entire show yet it still felt like a complete season. alot of the things that went down in season three either could’ve been compressed into a shorter span of time or they could’ve gotten more episodes (as if its that easy lol but the pacing wouldn’t have suffered as much if the season was longer). um decent season? i dont hate it! i dont love it either. like i said it feels soulless and maybe thats the intention? idk man 😔

i will most definitely be seated for season four TRUST

sweeps my underrated fave i need him to have a funny moment again in the new season he was gone s2

i just hope there's a discussion in the kitchen about who carmy broke up with cause not everyone knew about claire marcus barely found out sydney is going to act weird around carmy for a while and one day he just interjects during a chaotic moment in the kitchen (gossip time)

gary : what happened?

crew: uh we were just talking about who carmy broke up with

gary: he had a gf? who was it sydney ?

marcus: no he wasn't with sydney it was clarice i think

carm: claire now everyone get the fuck back to work

and then carm asks sweeps : why did you think i was dating sydney

gary : hmm? oh i dont know i just sensed like a vibe . i never met claire. sucks though what happened

and carmen is just like yeah yeah..

Who is most important to the history of Doctor Who?

TOURNAMENT MASTERPOST

propaganda under the cut

Peter Cregeen – BBC higher-up who cancelled Doctor Who

the dude who cancelled doctor who in 1989. (anonymous )

Sydney Newman – BBC higher-up who came up with the idea for Doctor Who

Guy straight up created Doctor Who. Without this guy no Doctor Who. (anonymous)

Gary Russell – prolific work behind the scenes of the show and extended universe

Where to even start! Gary has probably one of the biggest and most diverse amount of contributions to the Whoniverse as a writer, actor, director, producer, executive producer, script editor and DWM editor. I guarantee that pretty much anyone and everyone who's into Doctor Who has enjoyed at least one of the many *many* stories he's been involved in and i'd be here all night listing them, so feel free to scroll through his (very long) TARDISwiki page for that (anonymous)

Nicholas Briggs – prolific work acting and behind the scenes of the show and extended universe

Daddy Big Finish, Voice of [insert alien here] in New Who (anonymous)

I just want to add the Nick Briggs should not just be remembered for his acting but for the fact that he created Big Finish and Played the Nth Doctor (aka Fred) (anonymous)

WHY ALPANA? WHY SWEEPS AND ALPANA CHICAGO. THE BEAR SEASON 4. ON SET FILMING

Why did the Bear film at ALPANA?

Why is Sweeps/Gary Woods going into Alpana?

Well he's a sommelier now and ALPANA is described as a wine restaurant or rather a stylish winebistro from Master Sommelier ALPANA Singh.

It features wines of the month

The perfect place for him to get practice

I still don't trust Sweeps character but we'll see what the rewrites make of him

Remember in season 1 they spent a long time talking about Ceres and relating the characters to mythology. Sweeps would be Set/Seth in this case.

The wine ties in.

I don't know if they'll continue with this because of the rewrites.

[g3othermal3scapism]

ok one more and now goodnight

[bmegrl9124]

Did they stop doing family meals once the new restaurant opened? I feel like we haven't seen them have those meals in the new restaurant.

[november-rising]

Would it be wrong to take June 27th and 28th off from work?

If I do, I could start watching season 1 of The Bear on the 26th after I get home from work. Then I could watch all of season 3 of The Bear the next day, binge season 2 and then rewatch the whole thing from season 1?

In a vow of vengeance, Millard's mother mixes her son's ashes with a secret gingerbread cookie mix, which makes its way into Sara Leigh's bakery.

The moment when Richie Finally understands what is going on and feels like maybe he does actually belong is amazing.
