Ah-men

I actually want chef Luc to visit Marc @ the bear & run in2 the beautiful Sydney

@@MelisaManasethen the drama begins 😊 I low key want to see carm jealous 😂

AMEN

Exactly! I hate that we didn’t get more of his story.

I’m not particularly interested in him actually

I actually think Claire was beneficial. She's a stepping stone. I think the ending would be very different without Claire existing.

and you should say it again!

Agreed but I know his episode in season 3 gonna hit. The stretch of time also goes beautifully with his character fearing change.

No, why is no one shipping Sydney and Marcus in these comments!! 😭

@@GirfDays I low-key ship her with a few of the guys but I didn't want to be dragged by Amanda 😩😂

@@GirfDaysi think it’s mainly bcs she rejected him. people definitely shipped sydney and marcus a lot when season 1 came out!

@@GirfDays who gives a fuck about them? anyways....

@@GirfDaysthat was my first thought! I’m ngl I see the potential for Carmy and Sydney and I won’t be mad if they do end up together but I really like her with Marcus as of now. They work really well together

I’m so glad we are talking about Francine Fak. I had finished the second season weeks ago and randomly I was sitting down like, “wtf did Francine do??”

Ok can someone pls remind me who Francine is? I don't remember her existing at all 😂

@@josepha133in the flashback episode we learn that sugar and Francine( Faks sister) have beef and so she’s not allowed in any family events. We don’t ever see Francine tho

There’s a girl on TikTok that makes fun of the quirky indie love interest and that’s all I got from Claire 😂. But yeah, I also agree they needed to introduce someone as a catalyst for Carmys growth.

@@LeeyaMakesNoise also good thing Claire can't read minds cuz she would've been absolutely shattered after seeing Sydney was the reason Carmy came down from a panic attack instead of thinking of her.

@@NXD_95 what do you mean? Which scene are you talking about?

@@izzyNFT69 beginning of ep9, he's having another anxiety attack before the open thinking of Claire and his family. Only thing that helps him calm down a bit is thinking about Syd and how nice she has been to him.

@@NXD_95 I'll have to rewatch that. Thanks!

It’s the first time I ever thought he was attractive, I was watching like DAMN WILL and his character was so calm and lovely.

Lmaooo he fr lied about it and everything

I was yelling at my screen like "girl stand up" 😭

he literally paused then changed the last digit I had to laugh

Instead of taking the L decides to get it from Fak to call him. Be serious right now.

Facts facts I was like Claire dear you shoulda have sensed it would not end well

I'm gonna call Mom - that section with Richie was pure gold amongst heaps fo other fantastic lines. In fact all his parts were pure gold

lol

Agreed

the moment he starts dating, he stops going to meetings.......................... i cannnnnnnnnnnn't believe i didn't see that when it happened but jeeeeeez. very "no longer need therapy bc my girlfriend can take on all my problems" 🥴

@@freshonlybakery Carmen is very extreme. He’s found “joy and amusement” in Claire and their relationship so the work (restaurant and group therapy) must fall to the wayside because to him it’s one or the other. He can’t split his focus, it’s 100% this or that

i love that observation about Ebrah, amazing truly

@@lulia294 thank you chef!🫡

I love your observations, and I feel like it's very realistic to the show !!!

He was in the Somali civil war. Remember when they first introduced the brigade system, Ebra said "i was in a brigade once. Many people died."

THAT!

RIGHT!!!!

Not her proving why she got that oscar 😂😂 nah she did the damn thing lol

this show aint about ships....but their relationship is literally the center of the show. like even if people see this as platonic....that is still the foundation of the show. you talkin about this show like its a cw drama lol

@@wyntahb3968 oscar???

Personally, I don’t think that Sydney and Carmen have romantic chemistry like that they just seem like two pals. But that could be the writers/actors doing.

you can’t seem them putting syd and carmy together but they wrote the panic attack scene where she is what calms him down and the scene under the table?

I totally agree. I nearly teared up when Richie approached Sydney’s Dad on the friends-and-family night and raved about how much they all loved Sydney and how important she is to them. RICHIE, SAY THIS STUFF TO SYDNEY!!!!!

Yes, absolutely. There are even scenes where they cut from Carmy&Claire to Sydney alone. Also, in the later episode I don’t know when, they cut from Claire to Sydney and back?, but def Claire to Syd. Like the show is emphasising their different presence and meaning in Carmy’s life. Claire’s whole arc and character felt like a fucking fever dream to me. Like, what was even happening? Carmy is going to a fucking party? While he should be working on the restaurant and on his mental health. Like, be for real?

Why is this so funny

Plsssss

YES

this is such a good take !!

@@lizzieteeter6428 ahhh thank you!!

i really like this take!

ohh this take?! you chewed that!!

SO REAL!!! i was legit laughing along with him in joy too

Marcus?????

@@GirfDays no a new character

Y'all rmr the montage where sydney went around restaurants asking restaurant owners about partnerships and working a business? There was this one black woman, shaved hair, sups cute, was talking about how her past business partner did her dirty or something. y'all seeing my vision?!

@@keychains5806 I would really like to see an episode where carmy tries to run the bear without Sydney

@@keychains5806oh i would be obsessed with that!!

yeah and the way they shut there speaking/together scenes with the camera facing the talking person was also very unreal like

This

@@MelodyJoleneand the way they kept zooming in on her face too

Yupp and the fact that she said 'I love you' in that voicemail when at most they'd been going out for a few weeks?? idk she just didnt feel real at all. wouldve loved to have actually learnt more about her as a person

exactly. we never really got to see her life outside of carmy. they kept shoehorning her into stuff & everyone saying she was amazing. her scenes were all shot weird. i think that was intentional bc he was romanticizing her. she's outside of the restaurant & she was a foil to sydney (bc carmy can't manage his priorities). everyone else was improving their skills but carmy. the only time she looked normal was when she heard carmy in the freezer. claire reminds him of his family (which stresses him out) while sydney is his future (the bear wouldn't exist without her, let's be honest.). whether or not they'll be romantic is another thing. but, she reminds him of the "aspiration" of what the bear could be. she's the only one at the bear that didn't know mikey & had fine dining training.

Same 😂

Me neither lol

y’all a mess lmaooo! that man was punching himself in the head, making donkey noises, and had a blanket wrapped around his head like a wise man at different points in that episode and y’all couldn’t tell?? that on top of some subtle richie glances told me all i needed to know :/

@@chance757 I just thought they were being artistic 😂

this could just stem from me thinking that anything with a mc established relationship can get boring rrly fast but who knows

YESSS

Even if it’s just slight jealousy I don’t want him going off the depend or anything even just a side eye is enough because at the end of the day he is supposed to be growing or whatever and I feel like psychotic jealousy would teeter a little to close to regression. Ideally though, he’ll make a snarky comment (or several) or something like she did with Claire

@@panny7227he made snarky comments when Sydney’s dish was mentioned in the review. In his meltdown he was clearly jealous of her and couldn’t hide it anymore. The jealousy is what caused the screaming to get her off the expo. I don’t want to see what Carmy would do to someone if he was jealous in a romantic sense. 😬

We move

Luca is coming back in S3

people on tiktok want luca and marcus baddd 😗 but yeah they better let us find out somebody’s gay next season

I saw something but I kept telling myself it was in my head. I’m still not sure whether or not it was

Luca and Marcus had a lot of chemistry + the fact that Luca was really willing to teach Marcus without pressuring him and stressing him.. And they were joking sometimes ?!? Ooooooh

That!

We know at least Carmy felt horrible about it in season 1. It even got into his nightmares, it pushed him to talk in therapy and when he saw Tina in a blue apron, he said she was dressed like Syd. In season 2 Carmy even says he couldn’t and wouldn’t open the restaurant without Sydney. The dessert named after Syd they add in Carmy’s outburst. The men yelling at her…she is so competent, she upsets the male hierarchy. There are studies on this in gaming. It explains why harassment towards women is so volatile in gaming. Sydney is also young, pretty, single and career driven. Might be subconsciously upsetting to some of the guys. I do notice that as the chemistry between Carmy and Syd develops, everyone picks up on it and feels better.

and I really don’t ship anyone in this show at all 😂 Like keep it all actually

Plus his arthritis was flaring up, he probably felt like he couldn’t keep up. And the uniform thing, it’s heavily implied in season one he was in the army back in his home country; he’s against a top to bottom uniform, he mentions he’s seen what hierarchies do and something about a change in leadership. He’s a war veteran with arthritis in the culinary field. Even if he wanted to learn as bad as Tina, he probably couldn’t.

girl yes! they stay quiet for the most part but make no mistake, them funky syd/richie shippers are out there 🗿

​@@chance757it's me 🙋🏾‍♀️

listenn it’s just a little bit of fun crack-shipping yk if you get it you get it lol. but maybe my brain is screwed from all those enemies-to-lovers fics 💀

💯 don’t be actin like the Cardinals and gon’ fumbleeee

Exactly!!!

She works in a whole hospital too 😂

Not speak up 😩😭

It's the way she looks at him when she talks. Idk if I just don't like the actors face but every time she's on screen, in my mind, she seems like she's scheming something. Like she has some type of motive. not saying I don't like her, it's just that she just came out of the blue and added nothing.

@@keychains5806right she was bland and creepy

THIS!! I skipped them too and I was like holy shit I missed nothing?!! There was nothing important about that I still got the gist

And what did u think of it🤩 did u enjoy the show

THANK YOU!! Because I watched that entire season before bed and almost forgot but then I was like??? Hold up??? Plot hole?? Wtf was that about ? That was never explained lmao

I think they maybe wanted to show his character was very caring? Or he missed taking care of his mom or something? Or they’re setting smth up for s3 (last one is doubtful tho)

I feel like it represents something like that old man just got back up and went maybe it’s supposed to be like helping people who fallen to get back up idk but the vibe of it felt very like not human in a way like in Atlanta when he’s on the bus and the guy is giving him a sandwich or something and then he just leaves like it doesn’t feel natural or human in a way so I feel like it supposed to symbolise something but idk

Great observation I want the same for Ebra next season too

That's the vibe I got too! Like he didn't want to be in a uniform and train because of bad memories, but I didnt want to watch the 1st again to confirm if he was in a war or not.

@@KassandraQuiseng I believe it was an insurgency? I need to rewatch to be sure though.

Lol seee this is very spot on. I felt like they were going for like..a very 2010s Emma Stone/Mila Kunis “beautiful yet humble, witty yet un-intimidating” dream girl girlfriend thing..which I feel only really works of the actress/characters just have off the charts chemistry..but here it felt like a stereotype with no substance so her constant witty retorts and perfect reactions to Carmy’s off behavior felt unrealistic at best. Like the fact that she pursued him, found his lack of interest charming, etc was off lol and I’m still not sure if it was 100% intentional because if the audience actually liked Claire and bought the relationship, that would’ve made us actually care about the breakup and feel bad for both parties..instead it was just super awkward but ultimately I think we’re all hoping it’s over lol also it would’ve gave Carmy some dynamicism if he’s the one who thought he was healthy enough to pursue Claire, won her over, and then sabotaged it rather than having her pursue him..bc it just makes us feel like she kinda brought this heart ache on herself bc the signs were clear from the beginning Carmy was not the most stable and it makes us not really blame him for not being a good boyfriend. Like the way they executed the “romance”, Carmy was a very passive participant in everything so I feel like we didn’t really see a lot unexpected or interesting from him in that situation bc going into it we knew he was mentally/emotionally unstable, distant, and uninvested and he pretty much stayed that way all throughout their relationship so…Ehh lol

@@CoilyTwizzler that's exactly what i'm saying like i see a lot of ppl saying that 'oh she was supposed 2b boring 2 show how carmy isn't ready 2 welcome good things into his life' but like,,, she can be a good person and not boring? just like every other character on this show. and the fact that carmy really didn't gaf abt her just made me laugh like why are we doing this n wasting our time

it almost felt like I was in another show or something. That episode where she persuades him to go to the party, and she just kept looking at him and giving flirty weird eyes to him?!?! It didn't feel natural, it was like she came into his life to get him (even doe that might been the point since she said she liked him for a long time or wtv) like this man gave you a fake number and nothing clicked to think "oh well he's got shit to do, I'll take it slow and build a relationship"

@@keychains5806 it was so wild bc it was presented 2 us as like,, them bonding and making up for lost time... but the whole time he was pretending 2b some other guy and comforting her drunk bsf like he wasn't even really enjoying himself lmao

Literally same!

I agree. I think part of the reason they didn’t do that though is because they wanted it to seem detached. They wanted you to feel like Claire was a bit of a random addition to the plot because, in carmys life, she kind of was. The only real reason he ended up dating her was because Mike thought she was good for him. And just like how Mike left him the restaurant and he felt an obligation to run it instead of sell, he also felt the obligation to date Claire. Because it’s what Mike wanted.

@@panny7227 i think it’s so cool that this is ur interpretation of this!!!!!! like i don’t even think my thought process would’ve expanded in this direction so i feel like ur expanding my initial thought. going along with what ur saying, i really do see how u view claire in this season’s plot and how carmy pursues her bc it’s what “mike wanted”. carmy literally *worships* mikey

Exactly

Lets never forget the OG manic pixie dream girl herself “I love the smiths”

Lmaoo

Lmfaooooooo

but the fact that he slipped that she’s pregnant 😬 i feel like sugar should know that she knows

Same. I want him to but I get it

@@magpielviratrueee

@@magpielviraomg I hope they show this in s3 cause he I do agree he has to tell sugar her my knows but then he might have to bring up the whole story on how he told her AHHH 😭

yesss in the first couple episodes where they are looking for new employees I wholeheartedly believed that when she was asking Tina to be like her assistant in the kitchen or wtv I thought syd was actually gonna ask tina to get her son to try and do sumn. like atleast dishwashing and then they'd find some potential in the kid idk. 💀

@@keychains5806 yes i agree

Me too…I smirked little bit 🫣

I knew it was going to happen because look at all the signs. Fake number, not picking up some of her calls, her being a bit clingy on him, her being one dimensional. I just wasn’t feeling it.

Same. I felt kind of bad for her but then when she cried to richie and he got really mad at Carmen I was like 😟 now wtf is this?? Calm tf down. Felt kinda manipulative but idk. Like I found it weird how OBSESSED with her carmys family was, like to the point of completely dismissing it when he ditches work to run off with her. And I think it’s strange how Sydney is the only one who was kinda like “do your job bro,” and they made it out like it was (only) because she was just jealous of Claire [since she likes Carmy]

You’re not alone. I hate fast forwarding through shows but had to do it with her scenes. The close ups and the cheesy dialogue 🤮. If the writers intended that reaction, they succeeded
