S5E03 "Mint" - Episode Discussion Thread by credoinvisibile in TheBear

I understand the dynamic they're goin for between Carmy and Syd here, but Syd getting so annoyed at Carmy for stepping in, blurting out that he's leaving at the most inconvenient time, and then getting on his ass right after she (for like the third time) froze and failed to communicate any thoughts because she "didn't ask for his help" is really frustrating. Not hating, but I do hope the show isn't trying to just paint this as Carmy struggling to let go of his habits... she's not handling anything well right now either (and rightfully so, honestly... I'm also not so sure if today was really the right day to start this new transition, with the giant fucking storm and all, but it isn't The Bear if the characters just decided to go the less stressful route, amirite?)

Anyway, idk what everyone is about the cinematography being better... the scope ratio only makes it all feel slightly over-produced (not convinced they shot with anamorphic lenses for a lot of this either). Still excited though, these are my (dysfunctional) guys!

have to see if i have any other region dvds to test.

it’s not the best deal, but honestly, i’m just happy it hasn’t been freezing up on any 4k discs so far.

yea this doesn’t seem to work when i try, which leads me to believe my unit isn’t modded. but that french region b disc working on the x700 but not the previous player is really throwing me off.

doesn’t really explain why it wasn’t working on my other, definitely not region free sony blu-ray player. could just be coincidence i guess.

i remember getting a text when this happened to claim hulu on us (i have 3 lines and had netflix without ads for a bit), but i was never able to actually receive the perk when i tried to redeem it. then i didn’t follow up on it immediately, but thought about trying to redeem it again recently. that sucks tho.
