The Bear (FX on Hulu) TV Show • Page 110

I don’t hate the broad strokes of it narratively - he wants out, he has a slight in in an area that you could squint and see how it would appeal to him, he realizes mid interview he is happiest in the kitchen just not how it had been, you assume he goes back…that’s basically the Mad Men ending and borderline even works more for me here. The monologue taking place in that setting and the idea that a connection could sub for any formal schooling in architecture though just felt kinda absurd to me in a show that generally tried to keep the Carmie storylines a little more grounded in reality. Not a huge issue but did stick out to me.

 

I guess I don’t need to finish mad mens now

 

Nooooo the mad men finale is so good

 

I thought the choice of architecture was weird. I mean didn't they imply since episode 1 that Carmy's secret passion was jeans? Get my man an internship at Diesel or something.

 

What’s his job?

Jeans.

 

Just finished this, I can’t remember too many shows that make you feel a part of the action like this does.

Was a great season and fitting finish for the show, hint of positive but no home runs.

Some really high level performances too.

I’ll miss the chaos

 

Seemed like jeans were just a form of bartering/currency for him not a “passion” lol. And yeah architecture did seem out of left field but if the show did consistently establish a passion for him it was drawing/art

 

There was the scene I think you're forgetting with Claire in season 2 I think where he talks about how he would draw his own jean designs all the time in high school, and he sorta nerded out about jeans.

 

So he’s autistic no big deal

 

Jeans Guys are real. I remember my buddy talking about how he and his friends would do jeans trades with eachother, like tape trading but with jeans lol

 

He was whating his own jean designs?

 

Chefs do not wear jeans.

 

They do after hours

 

maybe not trading, but about a decade ago, i definitely remember being in proximity to a handful of guys who would talk a lot about raw denim and premium jeans.

 

Has not been my experience one bit lol

 

oh where were you a chef?

 

I worked for a catering company for a couple years and then worked in the kitchen of a country club for a couple years and the wardrobes were exclusively work clothes or basketball shorts lol.

 

In 2012 I stole a chef jacket and wore it to the club and the bathroom attendant asked me all these questions about my restaurant that I did not have answers to.

 

I was a GM at chipotle for years. I don’t call myself a former chef.

 

I didn’t? I said I worked with chefs for like 7 years ya dingus.

 

Then why are you called Grimace?
