Ok so why does this season have to have closure when they, and we, already know there will he another season?
Because it works better as a TV season to close the main loops while hinting at what’s to come.

Or even just like… one loop maybe?

I guess I just don’t mind a cliffhanger season when another season is already picked up (severance, Westworld, the office, etc, all had at least one cliffhanger ending to a season)

I do wish they had some more closure at the end of the season, but just because everyone else does it one way doesn’t make it the only way to do something. I like when writers and creators get outside of the box, and this season was certainly that.

Is the dead horse you complaining that we’re having a reasonable discussion where you only want one side to be allowed to say anything?
sure
I hope you’re one day able to recover and heal

Did some more digging and Vanity Fair confirms what you’re saying. Sounds like there was just some wild speculation going both ways in the days after the release of S3 and the last I saw was this wasn’t the case.
Thanks for confirming and making me go look! Super pumped to hopefully get S4 quicker.

Although this quote for Ayo seems to maybe say otherwise?

To some extent, sure. But if this was how they were going to do it, then they should have released 1 mega season later on. They release what they claim to be a full and complete season of television. And… it just isn’t. 0 plot points were resolved.
I agree that they could take some chances and leave more things open since they already had season 4 locked. But season 3 wasn’t a complete season of tv and falling back on “just wait until season 4!” is incredibly off putting to me as a viewer. If season 3 requires season 4 to stand up, then season 3 shouldn’t have been released on it’s own the way it was written.

think this kinda sums up for me why I’m losing interest in Syd. She’s just not about this life. Isn’t cut out for it - maybe it shouldn’t be this way, but it just is, and I feel like her lack commitment is contributing to the issues maybe the most.

That’s not up to them, that’s up to FX, and FX wants as many seasons as possible. They also never claimed it was a full and complete season, hence the “to be continued…” that we didn’t get at the end of the previous two seasons

Then they shouldn’t have written it that way. They knew the release schedule. They had 10 episodes to make a full season of tv. And they chose not to. Which is their choice, but is a totally valid criticism to levy.

I love Olivia Colman/Chef Terry, but I cannot understand why she would ever be hanging out at an after party at Sid’s unfurnished apartment with people she barely knows/never met. What the hell was going on there?

I think all of this is true and correct. I also think it’s one of the major points of the season. She left the industry because she was burnt out and wanted to do something more meaningful and personal. At the end of season 1, when she walks in while they’re opening he cans, they start talking about family style meals and communal tables. In season 2, carmy tells her all the time that they’re partners and she has just as much say as he does, even though he keeps doing stuff without asking her. Then this season he basically throws out everything she wanted to do, and starts dictating to her while also wanting her to put her name on the bills. He overrides her food, and pushes her back into the environment that she tried to get away from in the first place. That’s her she starts wavering about wanting to be there, then Adam comes along making her the same promises Carmy was, and suddenly her panic attacks are back.
When they have that brief exchange about how she’s not on his level during service, she obviously means Carmy needs to chill, and he obviously is telling her she needs to step it up and be better. And they’re both right, if you look at it separately from the perspective of what both of them want to accomplish and want out of The Bear

She told Carmy she wanted to go to a party, and Syd was having a party
This was so bizarre to me as well. Goes to what feels like a high school party with 10 people she doesn’t know and 3 of her front of house staff. Wild. And Richie. A guy she met for 10 minutes once a few months ago.
