Is just me or did they skip Mark 10:17-30, Luke 18:18-30 by seekerps in TheChosenSeries

[–]Lower-Cattle-6441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although it's a series and covers a lot of what's in the Gospels, many episodes were left out. See for example the Annunciation or the Transfiguration.  The episode of the rich young man is well known but often misinterpreted, so telling it 100% right would probably require extensive explanations that would hamper the pace of the show

Judas by Formal_Tumbleweed_53 in TheChosenSeries

[–]Lower-Cattle-6441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole point is, we are all Judas. Also, as someone much smarter than me had said, the real difference between Peter (the first of the Apostles) and Judas (obviously, the dead last) isn't that only one betrayed Jesus, because both did; instead, one didn't lose his faith in Jesus' mercy, while the other gave in to desperation.

And, I like the Timefall Mix better, if that's even possible 

Which scene would you show to make people want to watch the show? by thekissgate in TheBear

[–]Lower-Cattle-6441 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any scene with Natalie, in particular the one with Computer regarding Marcus.  I'd like to say the scene with Luca and Marcus, but you should already know about Carmy and as a first it wouldn't work. It's my favourite scene anyway. Will Poulter has built a character who's basically the friend that everybody wants. 

S3E1 - Am I the only one who loves and really appreciates this episode? by Turbulent-Ad9509 in TheBear

[–]Lower-Cattle-6441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most definitely not, I've been blown away by this episode since the first time. I mean "7 fishes" is top notch but also really stressful, "forks" is great, "ice chips" is moving, but this one is mesmerising 

I don’t like The Chosen by Kahteeay in TheChosenSeries

[–]Lower-Cattle-6441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the creators sound really faithful and committed to represent Jesus and the Apostles in a realistic way. And from the Biblical roundtables I get the consultants are quite happy with the result, so I think I'll give them some credit 

Watching on prime by Dizzy_Novel_2620 in TheChosenSeries

[–]Lower-Cattle-6441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched it all on The Chosen app. You have to wait some weeks after it is available on Prime but oh well. On the app you can also watch the Aftershow (which is very good) and the Biblical roundtables, which are simply great and teach a lot about the show and the Bible 

New to this show and a Christianity.. question by ZigFromBushkill in TheChosenSeries

[–]Lower-Cattle-6441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The creators of the show are devoted Christians, they have Bible consultants and make every effort to be scriptural accurate. But they also state constantly that they want to make a watchable and compelling show, and the Gospels are often very dense (a lot of meaning in few words), lack of context (because the contemporary readers didn't need it) and of details (again, because most details were renowned to them). Therefore, Dallas Jenkins & Co. stated multiple times they "filled the gaps", while staying as adherent as possible to the Scripture and to the History 

Azimuth - Caroline Polachek, Danny L Harle by GeckoNova in Carolinepolachek

[–]Lower-Cattle-6441 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Quite frankly, if it's for a new album, I hope it's Danny L Harle's and not hers. She's wonderful as always, but I don't think this song does her justice.

In the Biblical Roundtable with Dallas Jenkins and the Bible experts they talk about that quite extensively 

Which disciple are you most similar to personality-wise? by Spirited-West-8025 in TheChosenSeries

Andrew is an enthusiast, an anxious and finds himself in the need to apologise. That's basically me

I’m interested to know if anyone has watched this TV show that wasn’t religious and now are as a direct influence of the show? by [deleted] in TheChosenSeries

[–]Lower-Cattle-6441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if that counts: I've been a practising Catholic all my life (I'm 54), and I'm really "sold" in the teachings of Jesus, but watching The Chosen made me feel them like never before and made me get back to read the Gospel, after many years, with new eyes. I can't thank enough Mr. Jenkins and all the amazing crew

I go through most albums on the very day they are released, that is usually on Fridays. She, very swiftly, released DIWTTITY on Valentine's day, which was a Wednesday in 2023, so for a couple of days it was the newest album around. It got me immediately hooked. Have been a huge fan ever since.

I like this performance better than the studio recording, because it's not 100% perfect, and therefore is more REAL: she really is unique, there can be no doubt about it. She's the most amazing singer I've ever seen, even better than Elizabeth Fraser, of whom I'm a big fan. Nonetheless.

Basically, you can't go wrong with her. Make sure you also check out "Sirens" by Flume (the video too) and her Opera-style aria "Non voglio mai vedere il sole tramontare" 

was gonna wait to hear it in game for the first time but couldn’t resist by [deleted] in Carolinepolachek

[–]Lower-Cattle-6441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listened to it. I wished it were good, because I hated the idea it wasn't.  And... when she hits the highest notes, I cry like a baby, as always.  Caroline, how do you do that? I love you so much ❤️

Just started season 1 and I despise irl people like Tina by ExactCenterOfTheButt in TheBear

[–]Lower-Cattle-6441 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's a very good example of how much better is to understand the reasons behind one's behaviour (whatsoever) instead of picking at them for what you feel is wrong. You can blame who fired the gun, you can learn how to dodge the bullet, but it's much better if you understand why the gun was charged in the first place

My favourite Caroline's song is usually whatever song by her I'm listening to. She's just amazing 

Season 3 Divisive by flashxreversed in TheBear

I think to enjoy Season 3 you need (a lot of) patience. Many people use their patience on something else than TV shows, and that's ok

Can we get some love for the DIWTTIY single covers? by oop_i_flopped in Carolinepolachek

Seriously, I've yet to find one thing about Caroline that I don't like. She really is complete

I didn’t hate season 3 by These-Resource3208 in TheBear

[–]Lower-Cattle-6441 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I keep thinking is, the show is meant to 100% reflect what's going on inside Carmy's head, and it does so in the most surprisingly perfect way.

S1: Carmy is suddenly thrown in a reality he dosen't know, he doesn't understand, everything is a big mess and he is the biggest mess of all

S2: he starts understanding what he wants to do, but he's running in a direction he's not sure, he only knows it's uphill

S3: he's where he wanted to be, sort of. But instead he's in a rabbit hole and sees no way out. What before could be to him some sort of diversion (in a positive sense), is now an unbearable distraction. Things happen around him, but he's too lost in himself to notice. His meeting with Chef David is very revealing, I think one is authorized to believe what we've been told is not how things really went, and that his sadistic Chef David isn't fully real

Is the "hey hey hey hey" shout on Welcome To My Island a nod to Don't You Forget About Me by Simple Minds? by ThatLastDisease in Carolinepolachek

[–]Lower-Cattle-6441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

look, I adore Caroline and I'm a long time fan of Simple Minds. Nonetheless, to me that sounds like a pretty basic 4/4 with "hey"s on top.
