Just some BARRY (HBO) stuff part 2

Gene Cousineau knew Charles Manson and compares the darkness he saw in him to the inherent darkness he sees in Barry. (this dialogue was cut from the show itself but still stayed in one of the trailers...and hey thats horribly hilarious)

Even though Barry says he saved his friend Albert, we just see him going berserk and killing that innocent civilian... While leaving Albert bleeding and choking on his own blood... 

The whole first season till first half of 8th episode Barry wears a memorial bracelet which reads:  "PFC Jack Gootsan, Psalm 91:1 - Semper Fi"  PFC stands for Private First Class....so he either died when Barry was PFC too.... Or died while serving under SGT Barry (if yea then Barry was “responsible” for his death).......Psalm 91:1 ( the Soldier's Psalm) is  "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty"...

Barry most likely doesnt even watch movies. I doubt he has actually seen anything from what they are reenacting in the classes. 

Ronny was high as a kite while fighting Barry. 

Lily was just a white belt... Now imagine how the fight would have looked if she was even more skilled to begin with.

Psssstttt do you happen to know the significance of the bracelet/band Barry wears in S1? In some close up shots it appears like it might have a reference to PSALMS in the Bible, but it’s hard to tell. I also don’t know if Barry wears it in S2, but I was wondering if you or anyone had any meta/thoughts about the bracelet. 💛

I went down the meta rabbit hole again and this a recap of the most important details.

Barry’s black bracelet:

PFC Jack Gootsan

Psalm 91:1 • Semper Fidelis

It’s a military memorial bracelet. The Psalm in the engraving is the Psalm 91, commonly known as the soldier’s Psalm or the soldier’s Prayer.

The first verse says, “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”

PFC means Private First Class. Knowing Barry was a Sergeant, Jack was probably in his squad and under his protection. He’s never mentioned or referenced besides the bracelet.

Barry kills Chris in 1x07 but he stops wearing the bracelet between scenes in 1x08. When Barry is with Sally at Gene’s lake house he’s not wearing the bracelet anymore, nor his watch.

Barry doesn’t wear the bracelet in S2, he only wears his watch.

"Look, I'm sorry. What more can I say?"

Standing over her, seeing the paraphernalia spread over the floor, papers, dogtags, the fucking KIA bracelets, and the most heinous offense, his Beretta, Barry felt his pulse thunder in his ears. His Beretta, laying there, slide tossed to the side, spare magazine half loaded, dented box of 9mm open like a fucking happy meal carton, and he crouched swiftly, taking it hand and locking the slide in place, checking the chamber and dropping the magazine, shoving it in his pocket and pressing his eyes closed.

“The fuck are you doing digging around in my stuff,” was all that came out, quiet, measured, and she was full of voluble apologies. Look, I’m sorry, what more can I say? she pled, but all Barry saw was the face of Jack Gootsan staring back at him from the old photograph, the paper yellowed, scratched, her voice barely filtering through to his rising rage.

“This is private, Sally. I dunno what the fuck you thought you were doing, but it was wrong, okay, wrong. I can't believe -” He broke off, pressing both hands to his head, right hand still clenching the nine, pacing half a stride forward, then back again. “You need to leave, okay. You need to leave right now.”

the bracelet says "PFC Jack Gootsan, Psalm 91:1 – Semper Fi", it's nicely visible in 1x07. it may still be a plot point in season 3 tho

so lads, who’s on Barry’s KIA bracelet?

we’ve all seen the bracelet that Barry wears, and i’m sure by now, we all know that it’s a ‘Killed In Action’ memorial bracelet. but now the question is, whose is it? unless i’ve missed it on both of my watch-throughs, i don’t think it ever directly states it.

my initial thought was Barry’s. stupid, i know, but i thought it might link to how Fuches found a way to get him out of Europe. but if Barry was supposedly dead, then he couldn’t just go around using his real name. faking his death couldn’t have worked. it obviously can’t be Chris’ (duh), and he’s really the only war buddy that Barry brings up. if it was a friend from the war, i imagine they would have been brought up by now. could it be one of his **parents? perhaps, since they’re never talked about except for Fuches being a close friend of his dad’s. we have little to no background on Barry’s family, and maybe Fuches had a soft spot because he was a soldier too?and that’s how Fuches knew Barry’s father? it’s unlikely, but anything’s possible. idk, just talking outta my ass here.

**i have a feeling they’re gonna be a huge plot point in season 3

Finally found a clip where Bill discusses Barry's KIA bracelet! It's from a few years ago, but I was excited. Maybe someday we'll learn the story behind PFC Jack Gootsan🤔

Got a little piece of Barry cosplay...

Special thanks to Veteran-owned business Triton Engraving on Etsy. They did a fantastic job and I highly recommend their services.

**combining part 1 with 2 to have it all in one nice post

Gene Cousineau knew Charles Manson and compares the darkness he saw in him to the inherent darkness he sees in Barry. (this dialogue was cut from the show itself but still stayed in one of the trailers…and hey thats horribly hilarious)

Even though Barry says he saved his friend Albert, we just see him going berserk and killing that innocent civilian… While leaving Albert bleeding and choking on his own blood…

The whole first season till first half of 8th episode Barry wears a memorial bracelet which reads:  "PFC Jack Gootsan, Psalm 91:1 - Semper Fi"  PFC stands for Private First Class….so he either died when Barry was PFC too…. Or died while serving under SGT Barry (if yea then Barry was “responsible” for his death)…….Psalm 91:1 ( the Soldier’s Psalm) is  "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty"…

Just Hank

look at him go

Just some Barry(HBO) stuff

Those scenes where characters talk about.. or do weird stuff and somebody is watching and listening in the background… but not addressing the situation. 

Most of the people Barry ends up killing have children. And loved ones that will definitely miss them… 

All the acting class members have their own lives with their own dark secrets and things that torment them… Like when Sasha talks about how she has seen a horse in the city and then.. just by-the-way mentions how she doesnt have any childhood photos of herself, because her uncle burned down their house while her mother was still inside. 

According to Jermaine, Eric is a total psycho… How hilarious would it be if we learned later on that hes some kind of serial killer. I keep a close eye on him.

The fact that Barry isnt in the acting class just for Sally… And that it isnt centered around her being the love interest. 

Sally just being truly human.. not perfect.. not without problems.. And most of the other gals even though they dont have that much screen time being really great human beans too. I love them

Barry truly believing that everybody in the class is amazing actor. 

NoHo Hank´s fox mug (later on also Cristobal´s raccoon mug) 

No glorification of murder and violence in general… And with few exceptions nobody wants to get their hands dirty…  like that ( Just let Barry do it) 

Fuches believing himself to be strategically and outdoors savvy while being absolutely useless. 

All those fake posters with Cousineau.. in the theatre and in his house. (I really need to see them all up close)

Extremely wide n symmetrical centered shots… Long takes and other elaborate things that you just.. dont see that often on tv… 

The subtle n crafty use of music and sound 

That scene where NoHo Hank tells Fuches that they will most likely kill them which cuts to children excitedly screaming at a birthday party….And that scene where NoHo Hank appears in Lululemon accompanied with dramatical Dunnnnn sound…. 

  The fact that Barry thought that Lululemon was a candy store.. n being really bummed out by it being a sportswear store instead. 

Is the name Berkman nod to Ingmar Bergman?… 

Bill Hader Sr. being the bartender in s1e8.
