On the subject of The Bear stressing me out, I’m ten minutes into “Fishes” (S2E6) and I don’t think I can continue.
Do they all still refer to each other as “chef”?

Why is that funny?
It’s not funny.
The word to describe it is affected.
Sopranos S3 E12 question:
At the end, there is the scene showing the bespectacled gentleman who threatened the crazy Mercedes dealer on Tony’s behalf, just getting into his car and driving away. Can someone explain what the significance of this scene was?
Hours earlier, if that, he was telling a woman they’d be scraping her nipples off the Mercedes’ leather seats, and now he’s just calling his wife on his way home from the store like any regular Joe. The banality of evil.

This, its to show Tony’s kill man just takes it as a normal day on the job, even when that normal day is threatening to kill a seriously disturbed woman.

Re: The Bear
Agree with the above post about Copenhagen. Then you follow that up with Ep 6 and holy shit.

Finished up The Bear last night and with everything I have going on (that I have posted about in the alcohol thread) that season hit really hard.
I can totally relate to the ending scenes with Carm. The flashbacks of family and others in your life telling you that you are never going to live up to expectations. The despair of Carm in the freezer while the night was mostly a success from an outside perspective is unfortunately how I have felt most of my life. Seemingly fine on the outside and capable of accomplishing things but a total disaster inside due to past trauma.
The scenes with his mom were gut wrenching also. I can relate to some of that. I hope I never end up like that.
I dunno I’ve rarely finished a season of TV and felt that many emotions. I laughed, I cried and yes there were uplifting moments in the season. Rarely have I ever felt a TV show does such a good job of being real. Ending the season with one of the main protagonists (this show does not really have any antagonists which is interesting) locked in a walk in, listening to the voicemail his (now) ex-girlfriend had left him just hours earlier and breaking down is a brave and interesting choice.

I love how Tina’s character developed to the point where instead of mocking carmine by calling him Jeff instead of chef, she starts sincerely calling him Jeffrey, which is more respectful.

Not really Bear spoilers but better safe than sorry I guess
Also @Riverman I don’t think this show is for you lol.
I finished the season and I take the above statement back.
So, did y’all like E6 or did you grow up in an alcoholic home?

I didn’t grow up in an alcoholic home but I did grow up in a home that routinely would fight at family gatherings. In a family that was full of fucked up people who behaved similarly to the mother or Mikey even if they weren’t drunk. Also I wouldn’t say I liked the episode. It was very disturbing/traumatic in some ways for me to watch it. That being said it I think was an accurate portrayal of a dysfunctional family at holidays. Everyone feels obligated to be there and the host feels obligated to host it. However no one wants to be there, the host is resentful about having to do it and all of the past trauma and present fucked upness of the people at the event almost always lead into some kind of a boiling over. That being said we all want to pretend that our family is normal. That our family is ok. So we go into those family events very much the same way that Sugar does. Thinking maybe, just maybe, this will be the normal family event that we long for.
