The fact that thinking about her calmed him during a panic attack has to be one of the most romantic things I've seen... I usually don't root for romance, but they got me! I hope they don't ruin it!

Defo noticed the chemistry in the first season but I was confused when they threw Marcus in the mix. I audibly hissed when Claire first appeared on screen

I feel like Carmy and Syd together is ultimately the right fit but only after Carmy and Syd have been able to process their grief and Carmy is able to process his c-ptsd (I strongly believe this is what he is suffering from.) The liklihood is that a romance between chefs in the same kitchen would screw up their work relationship or impact the work environment but I feel its a little unrealistic not to explore it in some capacity. Two chefs who both appear to be interested in the opposite sex, both very attractive, both share the same passion, both have similar drive, ambition and work ethic. It seems crazy that they wouldn't have considered each other in that way. Feelings and desires can be repressed but anyone who's ever been in that situation knows that you can tell when two people are trying to fight attraction to each other amd things get awkward. Repressed feelings tend to her stronger with time rather than fade away. I initially disliked Claire because she didn't respect the boundaries that Carmy had in place. He obviously gave her a fake number because he wasn't ready for a relationship but she pushed him on and made him feel like he had to reciprocate. I grew to like her more but ultimately I don't feel like there is anything really behind the character. She exists as an idealised vision of the past, maybe the lovley girlfriend he could have had as an undamaged and untraumatised teenager but a girlfriend who doesn't really fit into his current reality of ptsd nightmares, emotional disregulation dissociation and all-consuming ambition. I feel like the The Bear and specifically chef Sydney are the things keeping him grounded and solid and actually pushing him further towards his professional goals. The moments he shares with Sydeney seem to be the only times when he allows himself to feel enjoyment because he knows that it's safe to feel that emotion around Sydney.

I agree with you, but ultimately I think Carmy and Sydney could be a real power couple or just a strong friendship. I can't really love Carmy and Claire even though I want to.

I feel like Sidney resignificates Carmy's relationship with cooking and since it was always two extremes of chaotic and or military style; she brings a balance he didnt know was possible. At least it's what it feels like

I could read the slowburn Easter eggs from a long time.

Thanks! lol

Claire was incredibly dull and annoying. She was portrayed as a cliche love interest. She was allegedly an ER doc but had so much free time to be spontaneous. Did the writers and director intend to irritate us? She basically stopped time in the worst way possible.

Lol! I was wondering too, " Am I a hater"? Your perfectly timed memes and their usage ...freed me from this concern. I agree that as things currently stand Syd and Carmy would implode, but after some time dealing with their individual traumas and upon the work family's approval and push, there is a world were they work together and continue to balance one another and love each other.(fingers crossed)

Claire popping up was a double edge sword for me. Camry needed someone on the outside that had nothing to do with his life to get his head out of the chaos, but when it made him start to consistently drop the ball I was like “Send her away”. But I’d feel the same way about things if he and Sydney became a thing too. I just want the work to be the most important thing. Love is beautiful but so is friendship/camaraderie .

Sydney doesn’t need the problem of a relationship with Carmy. Carmy is damaged goods, and has similar toxic traits as his bipolar mother. In the finale there were two dishes on the pass getting cold. Carmy started screaming at Sydney, and totally lost his mind. Sydney tried to calm Carmy down, and Carmy eventually caught himself and did their signature apology. It is at that point that I realized that Carmy isn’t ready for a serious relationship with anyone. He is emotionally damaged from growing up with an unstable abusive (possibly bipolar) mother and the ptsd of the recent suicide of his brother. Carmy’s rant about him not deserving anything good while locked in the freezer is similar to his mother’s self flagellation on the Fishes episode and her decision not to enter the restaurant. Claire overhearing Carmy state that she is inconsequential is just like his mother’s tendency to lash out at anyone in her vicinity when she is having a tantrum. It is no surprise that Richie called Carmy Donna. Carmy begins to spew the most hateful things to Ritchie while Ritchie keeps saying “I love you.” In this finale we see Ritchie’s growth and how far Carmy has to go. Carmy isn’t ready for a relationship with anyone. He needs therapy and to work out his trauma. Most of all he needs to grow up. Sydney doesn’t need that kind of toxicity in her life. 🙂

You aren't a hater. Marcus is ok but I do see him and Sydney having much in common. The chemistry different like siblings

I agree. I think Marcus is silently having a great slow burn character arc. But at the end I think his genius in the kitchen and him becoming confident in his skill is his arc. His attraction to Syd is based on his admiration for her confidence and her obvious care for his growth.

My guilty-pleasure wish is for them to be together at one point, not now because it would be bad timing.They remind me of Katara and Aang,both super capable, respect each other but still have to grow. However, I do want a platonic relationship between them too!! Anyway, whatever happens in season 3, it already warms my heart that both of them mean so much to each other n.n

When the actress of Sydney said why her character and Carmy shouldn't be together was things I known she would say and I could refute each one. Like they both aren't in a healthy place who said they had to be? It would be like unhealthy people to get together not when they are healthy in real life. And it would be nice for them to be together at the perfect time but it would mean having to wait to see them together at the end of the show. We would not get any time to seeing them together which is something that doesn't happens when a white woman is in the main cast most of the time but does for black women's dating life when the co-lead character is not black. Only side character black women gets together or only now they get together in the show and are ingame. She said there isn't a lot of friendships between women and men but when the woman is black that is mostly you get when her co-lead star is white or not black.

I get the feeling that they'll only admit romantic feelings at the very end of the series. And it will be very subtle. No long kiss or embrace. No romantic words. Probably something practical but telling like how season 1 ends. "Two tops, two booths?" "Danish design?"

I am so with you in that!

Carmy and Sydney are simply the superior couple. If theyre not gonna be together (which i think they should) then the pairing has to be with someone who makes sense.

Just because they're soulmates doesn't mean they need to have a romantic relationship. Syd & Carmy are not normal people, and their relationships aren't gonna be like normal relationships. They have a deep connection that neither of them is gonna have with a romantic partner. Their relationship is gonna have some features of a romance without doing the whole .... thing.

My issue with Claire is it seemed like she wanted to be his best friend so bqd like she just understood him and really she dont! Really Sydney is the one that umderstands him the most. She understands the pressure he is under as well as his love for the kitchen and everytime he looks at her its like he is seeing the light!

Claire is just not likeable. Sydney is very likeable.

The problem was she had little to no character development. She was dropped on viewers and every other character telling us and Carmy how great she is vs actually showing the viewers why she is so great (see Nat/Sugar as an example). Also Claire is extremely dull and has dialogue that makes me roll my eyes ("Because you're the Bear and I remember you" or "No one's counting shoes." Ugh). She exists as a the straight man's dream gf and they even put her in a big tee shirt and tiny underwear and nothing else.

I think we kinda hate the relationship because it's the impossible dream came true and that really annoys us. She was his crush and suddenly he was hers too so "the perfect match" can be too perfect to be true besides Carmy is still needing a character development he is cracked mentally thanks to his terrible family issues and still the sorrow for the loss of his brother. We feel him to face those issues to have that "true love" came true, perhaps. Claire is an oasis in Carmy's chaotic life, maybe it's needed it but now at this point. He needs to release the shit out of his mind and his system, first. He's stuck and need to see and cross the light (like in the last scene of S2E10).

I think a Syd and Carmy relationship would stunt their character development. They're both two very self-capable individuals. This is as much about Carmy bringing life to his family's legacy as it is for Syd's confidence in managing her own restaurant. If they stay together, then there will be resentment. A feeling of obligation to sacrifice dreams. That matters more to Syd than it does to Carmy. Syd is still in that youthful phase where she wants that adulation that Carmy had. Maybe if we fast forward a decade or two after her own journey would it make sense for her to want to settle down. They're both on separate points of a path. Forcing her to skip forward without living the dreams she always had would be a disservice to her. Questioning and wondering could have or would have happened would kill her on the inside. I think they should stay as each other's confidants at best. A mentor-student relationship until she has had the time to know what it feels like to be the best.

The under the table scene in season 2. Sydney confessed to Carmen she is afraid of failure again and he said he wouldn’t let her. He literally said he couldn’t and wouldn’t open the restaurant without her. He is right, no one else would put up with his insanity. Also remember she does not not have profit share. If Carmen really values her (and he does), he would give her profit share if she asked. Carmen has learned what the line is on how to treat Sydney. When he did learn, Carmen dangerously mentally dissociated. Sydney is the ultimate work wife and Carmen knows he isn’t the ultimate work husband, but wants to be. (FTX -SBF gave profit share to the male execs, but the female CEO he was sleeping with, no profit share. Regardless of what one thinks of the whole FTX scandal, that is appalling. The public was shocked. The writers of The Bear are smart and have already put the idea out there, so I think it could possibly be a thing later.) Not trusting Sydney is kinda preposterous at this point. For Carmen, she is literally the only person he does trust. That Strange Currencies themed panic attack says it all. Everything is backwards and turbulent except Syd. Carmen would give her anything.

Sydney is literally the WORST person to be with carmy, she’s disrespectful, selfish, self centered and literally causes to him more stress. Carmy has to be at his best behavior with her, he has people please her all the time, she’s childish and careless and only every cares about her needs & her plans. If they ever get together carmy would completely disappear, she will destroy what beautiful about him as a person.

I look at why they are the way they are and the show makes a refreshing choice to make Syd complicated and abrasive at times bc usually male characters get to be that way but female characters are often not written with grit and I like that. I don't deny that Syd is a pain but Carmy would be screwed w/o her bc she has as much ambition as Carm and she really cares about the restaurant. I don't need to imagine Syd as a man bc so many male characters in TV are written with that kind of nuance and they get to misbehave and are praised for it and seen as cool which is what Syd is doing for me. I like when women are written like Syd sometimes bc we are sometimes assholes and can be very stubborn, we misbehave and throw tantrums and I just think its fun to see. We are not just gracious, nice and sweet it's just not realistic. We make mistakes, we threaten, we misbehave etc. and if Syd was a man Id like him too bc he's interesting, he wouldn't be all one thing because as humans we just aren't like that.
