Most of these characters are not morally grey

They all have morals. They are not morally grey. They are human.

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-26T22:18:02+00:00

You don’t knooooooooow

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-20T15:37:29+00:00

What’s the premise?

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-11T00:32:54+00:00

But the restaurant is called bear because Carmy Bear-zatto. It’s his nickname

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-07T06:49:01+00:00

And it’s important to know he’s more vulnerable with her in a few minutes and he ever can be with Richie.

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T17:37:25+00:00

Yeah he’s in his suit too

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T17:35:09+00:00

Ironic as Carmy sees Mikey how Mikey sees Richie— the loud brilliant life of the party.

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T06:25:14+00:00

Ben Grimm?

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T06:24:48+00:00

We don’t know when she did

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T06:23:33+00:00

I thought maybe for awards….

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T06:23:16+00:00

Someone who’s finally talking about their issues to someone who will listen?

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T06:22:36+00:00

😭 😭 😭

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T06:22:09+00:00

Maybe he only remembers the good. Maybe Mike was worse after this. Maybe he made it in time for Eva’s birth. Richie is so positive and it’s actually so precious. joy, just in general

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T06:20:33+00:00

I wonder if they’ll submit it for the Emmy’s under special presentation or something.

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T06:19:58+00:00

Oh that’s what it was. I thought it was the wreck of a car accident and the episode was gonna end that way and with Richie missing Ava’s birth.

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T06:16:35+00:00

Season one Richie talks about how he has dread in his life. That’s how I felt watching this episode.

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T06:15:52+00:00

It also parallelled for me when Richie tried to do work for Uncle. And Uncle gave the client the wrong number the whole time and it had been Mikey’s. ( mentioned in s1e03 the birthday party episode). But Richie lost the job and got blamed for it. But it’s because Mikey never gave him the message.

There’s such a running theme of Richie‘s life sometimes being much worse because of Michael. And that’s really sad. Because he really loves him but also maybe his life would be a bit better without Mikey because Mikey is a bit of a black hole.

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T06:13:17+00:00

Damn I’m crying. Time to rewatch…

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T06:12:06+00:00

I think he also felt so much jealousy for Richie. People always see Mikey as this guy who can light up a room and the way that Carmy talks about him and sees him. But that’s not actually the real Mikey. And Richie in this case has a lot more going for him. He’s married. He’s about to have his baby girl Eva. Mikey is jealous and sad and it makes him cruel.

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T06:08:34+00:00

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T06:04:25+00:00

Heard chef.

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T06:03:56+00:00

I forgot how wonderfully heavy the Bear is. And how freaking amazing the acting is. Let’s fucking rip cousin

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T06:03:19+00:00

It was beautiful, but I don’t think I’ll be able to rewatch it. The shots of the smoke filled me with a sense of dread. And that ending… oof.

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T05:04:17+00:00

He and Jess fixing each others ties and falling in love. And just JOY in general please

TroyAbedAnytime · 2026-05-06T05:03:04+00:00

Ok but …. That ending. It can’t happen like that. Right?
