Congratulations to the cast and crew of "The Bear," for a record-breaking 23 Emmy nominations!

THE BEAR — Season 2

[notbecauseofvictories]

I tried to watch season 2 of the bear, and flamed out tragically when I saw all the famous people in episode 6. I'm sorry, those are Faces, I know who they are and therefore the illusion is broken entirely and completely.

Something something about the Third Doctor and the fate of Tantalus. You're trapped in one place. Everything you want, that you once took for granted is right there in front of you, you can see it you can reach for it but you can never have it. You will never attain it on your own. Your fate is dependent on the mercy or cruelty of others and you hate it and you rage against it but you can’t do anything, your defiance is treated like nothing but a childish tantrum but you refuse to beg, you won’t get that desperate no matter how long you’re trapped here, no matter how low you’re brought down. You stand among humans and you look human but you’re not, you’re an animal in a cage with them and you’re the only one who can see the bars. Gnawing and hacking at them to no avail. And yet all you can do is wait and hope and try and fail in an endless loop until an outside force interferes to free you from your prison. The carrot and the stick. How does it feel to be on the receiving end?

"Mom, I’d make myself sick to make you feel better. Do you understand that?"

Oh my god. The Bear. You can't do that to me. Not to me. Me of all people!? You can't do this.

A REMINDER ABOUT CARMY. SEASON 3 THE BEAR

Carmy knows his own mind. He was emphatic for the longest time that Claire was NOT his girlfriend.

It irritated him when Sydney inferred that she was his gf

Only when SYDNEY told him he needed to decide, was when he considered OTHERWISE.

Carmy can manipulate to get a desired outcome

He must have learned that growing up

But most importantly Carmy says what he thinks Claire wants to hear.

So if she asks is everything ok and he says yes, we can assume that everything is not ok

So in future I'm gonna watch the kinds of things Carmy says to Claire ( even some of the things he does) that illicits a smile from her. Most likely they're not true.

So he's gone from doing it with DONNA to doing it with Claire

there has never been a christmas episode more chaotic, unhinged and neurotic than S2 epi 6 of The Bear in the history of tv. filled with the most random famous actors ever.

[ladespeinada]

I’ve honestly been trying to turn off my The Bear hyperfixation the past couple days and I’m nearly there, lmao, but I keep thinking about Tina!!! Ms Tina Marrero, whose surname we didn't get until S2. Tina whose first name could arguably be Agustina, Valentina, Martina, or something similar—but I know, I just absolutely fucking know, it’s not any of those.

Tina Marrero, sous chef of The Bear? La señorita Marrero, chica Boricua nacida y creída en Chicago? She’s a fucking Cristina if I’ve ever met one.

Her family probably called her Cristiana as a nickname, if they wanted to add some ‘formal’ tenderness when speaking to her. Cristi when they wanted to sound more “American”. La Cris or Cris for everything else, Tina for everyone else. 

Maybe her family told her to soften herself to be like the big-league Cristina they all knew, the Cristina on Univisión, la del Show de Cristina. Told her to relax, to stop being so angry all the time, so ready to fight. But you’d be like that, too, if you always had to correct people, tell them your name was spelled C R I S T I N A, when sometimes the grocery sheet cakes at your own damn birthday parties would have that fucking H. Even though you know someone asked—When you write her name, can you write Cristina without the H? 

Tina’s been defensive her whole life. In S1, that defensiveness is against—it’s anger, it’s sharpness, it’s, look at Syd, all willowy and scribbling and shit. In S2, her defensiveness is for—for Sydney as she grows through some shit, for The Bear, for her relationship with Ebra, for what they can all collectively create. For what’s to come, what’s possible. 

Anyway, I love Tina.

[appalachianapologies]

Rewatching Ted Lasso with family and man I gotta write some fics for this

[gambitandrogues]

Harry Styles why are you here

[zickmonkey]

Reading historical fiction is such a slippery slope because the timeline of the books I'm reading really bothered me so I googled it and it started like pleasantly talking about Thorfinn Karlsefni and I instantly got a little mad

[mckittericks]

Goddammit. Just finished season 2 of "The Bear" and. Damn.

I honestly didn't think they could do anything after season 1, like for real where were they gonna go from that tight, powerful storytelling? What else was there to say about that story? But they clearly knew it, and told some new stories, instead. I Honestly, season 2 was if anything better than season 1.

I mean, I was already so fully on Team Sydney and Team Tina, and BOY did this season deliver on their characters, but the Marcus and Richie story-lines literally cut me off at the knees this time. Cried over those episodes, then cried over the finale.

And Jamie Lee Curtis??? The fucking balls-to-the wall performance she delivered is unreal. Damn, they really did it, the crazy bastards.
