#won’t be going into why i think it’s uncharacteristic for carmy because i’m sure other people have already pointed it out as well

​i have some Thoughts about the claire plotline obviously and i actually genuinely like her as a person but i dislike her character wherein i don’t like the fact that they introduced her with the sole purpose of being carmy’s love interest and posing as a conflict for the restaurant? considering she’s supposed to be a childhood friend of carmy’s and grew up with the rest of the berzatto family i wish she had gotten the chance to be developed and fleshed out as her own character instead of just being used as a plot device. the buildup of her and carmy’s relationship was definitely very abrupt but in a show that revolves around (found) family it just felt very out of place for us to be introduced to a character with explicit romantic intent like that

#won’t be going into why i think it’s uncharacteristic for carmy because i’m sure other people have already pointed it out as well #but yea there was that too #when we got showed the scene of them running into each other in the season trailer i was getting the romantic Vibes but i was like surely #they won’t go that way.. and when they were obviously Going That Way i was like ???? #might write a full thinkpiece later but yea i don’t hate claire. but i hate that her character only exists to serve a purpose and not as a #stand-alone. like maybe she’ll get fleshed out a bit later but it felt very cheap and tacky #for them to drop the ‘oh actually she and carmy have always known each other and they’ve always liked each other’ lore during e6 #especially in a show where every character is very lovingly fleshed out and developed and given this sense of familiarity? like in the pilot #when we see richie and sugar for the first time even though we’re not explicitly told what their relation is to carmy the sense of #familiarity and history is there. we didn’t get that click with claire and i get they were supposed to be estranged but…? #my txt #the bear spoilers
