The Bearhas always made a splash whencasting guest stars.
Oftentimes, its worked pretty well.
Jon Bernthal as Mikey?
Bob Odenkirk as an asshole uncle?
Jamie Lee Curtis as a drunk live wire of a mom?Interesting, but not an absurd idea.
But the biggest cameo mistake is made in Children.
Introducing John Cena as Sammy Fak just makes no sense.
Im a Cena defender I lovePeacemaker!
Beyond that, while I love the Faks, they were too much in this episode.
Their banter is fun sometimes, even though I cant understand half of it.
But when its so much of the episodeandyou cant understand it?
It just feels tedious.
You just want to scream, Youll be good!
Its hard, but the fact that youre scared means you know what to look for!
But shes not a real person, and thats not how TV works.
Marcus has just sold his moms house and is dealing with the finality of the whole affair.
I still cant understand why anyoneships Carmy and Sydwhen Syd and Marcus are right there.
Dead Moms Club, activate!
Perhaps the biggest story of the episode is the impending closure of Chef Terrys restaurant, Ever.
Also amazing: The hard truth coming out of The Computer.
While its impossible to agree with his suggestions get rid of Marcus?
Maybe some creative, no-wash-needed version of the same thing would work just as well.
Also, theyre only open five days a week?
Youd think that would have come up while Natalie was budgetcstretching, especially when considering that third turn.
Bringing The Computer in, though, is really just a chance for Oliver Platt to shine.
He is also pretty sweet to Syd, who seems understandably intimidated by him.
Different kind of little, different kind of late, he quips.
Also, hey sign me up for Carmys cubed chocolate mousse idea.
Its just like it needs one other element.
