Rewatching the scene in s1 episode 5 where impossible Germany plays while its just the two of them, and she tells him about her bad catering experience. The part in the song where it says "but i know you're not listening, yea i know you're not listening" plays while she's talking and the camera's on her, and then afterwards switches to carmy who later on says "heard chef" and nothing else, and then you could just see that sydney didn't think he was listening or didn't care at all in that moment--
I hope Sydney and the og Beef Crew gets a chance to see New York Carmy in action. The precision, attention to detail, and hyperfocus that won him his accolades. They haven't really gotten a chance to see him perform at his peak I think.
this is a demo I’ve kept in the vault for a while.. I’d prefer to redo it when I have scenes that are easier to work with in (relation to the song). but bc I love y’all, I just wanted to show it to ya :)
This clips little mention of a choo choo train reminded me of something.
At the end of Ceres after Carmy turned down Sydney's risotto dish, Last Train home is playing.
Sydney is what Carmy believes to be the fallen angel, she fell into The Beef to save it. But really she's just there because she fell behind on life. She feels out of luck and out of time. Her wishbone tattoo symbolizing her desire for good luck and her mother's car symbolizing her short time on earth.
If Carmy doesn't want to love her or listen to her and help her get to where she feels she needs to get (the stars, accolades etc) then he needs to let her go because she feels out of time to achieve her goals. Season 3 it's all on the line for her because she feels like she is giving it her all and it's finally being seen by her dad, and she can't let Carmy be the one to mess it up for her.
She put her heart where it didn't belong by giving the dish to the food critic because she believed in it and loved it. And then things went wrong. Carmy also put his heart where it didn't belong and messed things up for himself by getting locked in the fridge. Sydney overheard him saying he's not even sure he's meant for this and he might not want to keep going, which made Sydney throw up. Sydney wants to know if he's actually going to quit on her or if he's hopping on The Bear Express. Season 3 is the last train for The Bear, they either make or they don't and it ends for Sydney, and everyone else.
can’t stop thinking abt the only time we see carmy wear a The Beef tshirt is when he cooks dinner for claire. you know, the piece of clothing he refused for all of season 1 (when their restaurant was Actually called that) and asked everyone else to switch OUT of (to white shirts and blue aprons).
something something claire fundamentally does not allow carmy to grow as a person + represents carmy’s backsliding into his past something
