Yall Like, Rebecca NEEDED To Fully Reconcile And Remember That There Were Good Times In Her Relationship

Y’all like, Rebecca NEEDED to fully reconcile and remember that there were good times in her relationship with Rupert and that he too is a human. She can’t move on without it. He can’t be anything other than a villain to destroy without it. And she did so beautifully, with boundaries fully intact. Putting the Hockney painting back up means she can have ambivalence which is key for emotional processing!!

#i do love them together i just think there’s so much love there#not necessarily in a romantic way but also not an entirely platonic way

SYDNEY ADAMU and CARMY BERZATTO in THE BEAR SEASON 2 (2023)

You're not alone, Syd. Neither are you.

Top 6 moms I want to see in Ted Lasso Season 3 (because making moms into full characters is awesome):

6. Isaac McAdoo

I mean come on, Isaac is totally a momma’s boy. How did she end up raising such a star? Isaac has grown so much from being bully sidekick to the one of the most lovable members of Richmond. I bet his mom is so sweet and I would love for him to feel like he has learned to do her proud as both a captain and a person.

5. Trent Crimm

James Lance has talked quite a bit in interviews how he and Jason would discuss Trent’s background and the way Trent’s domineering father shaped the person Trent became. This show is obviously a show about fathers, but that leaves a lot of curiosity about Trent’s mother. Is it possible we will see a personal side of Trent in S3? Is she a positive force in Trent’s life?

4. Jamie Tartt

This one requires little explanation. We all remember Jamie’s speech in Two Aces and it seems he has a lot of love for his mother. I want to meet her!!

3. Ted Lasso

Now the only reason why Ted isn’t higher is because we have already learned so much about his relationship with his mom throughout the show. We know she was kind, sometimes to a fault, and we know Ted feels responsible for her well being. I want to meet her as her own woman, not as simply a mother or widowed wife. Who is she and what does she want in this world? How has Ted maybe missed this?

2. Phoebe

There has been speculation that the nurse taking care of Sharon in the ICU is Phoebe’s mother. I’m not so sure. But I wouldn’t be surprised that the show has been constructing a larger plan for the introduction of her character all this time. There is a noticeable gap in the way we never meet Phoebe’s mother. We know her ex is “a living piece of shit” and she is quite busy in her (success) job. She must be a close friend to Roy and a good mother to Phoebe as well. She is up high on this list because she is so mysterious, her presence feels inevitable, and with relatives like Phoebe and Roy, she could only be a joy to meet. 

3. Keely Jones

I really want to meet Keely’s mom. I want to know the woman Keely first modeled herself after. I want to know if they’re close, if she’s from which Keely’s abandonment issues stem. I want to know if she’s proud of her daughter and all of her accomplishments or if she is a stumbling block in Keely’s life. I want to know Keely better and for a character who cares so much about the women in her life, her mom must be a truly unique character of her own.

Definitely a big problem with The Bear S3 is that the show clearly wants to cash in on the love from real life celebrity chefs but that type of hero worship (which made the season finale nearly unbearable to watch) contradicts one of the main conceits of season one:

fine dining restaurants are kinda evil. They're beautiful sure but Carmy's flashbacks to New York were about the stress and oppression that is produced in those settings.

That's why when Carmy confronts his former boss at the end of season 3, it's confusing as hell. I never thought this guy was the villain of the show, I barely thought of him as an actual character. I thought he represented fine dining culture at it's worst.

But no, in a roomful of real celebrity chefs, which the show anxiously needs to make look as good as possible, he now becomes an outlier, the only one whose evil, the one who personally fucked Carmy up. He doesn't represent anything anymore, he is now a real character that the audience doesn't really know anything about or quite frankly cares about much at all. What a waste of time to see them fight over a lesson learned in season one. Better to be kind than to be great, lest thy be a robot.
