"I was telling my friend that this season felt like a first half of a season and now we just need the second half to feel complete."
I totally agree! For that reason (if we take it as a mid-season finale), I didn't mind the pacing but looking at some of the criticism, it seems like there's a HUGE disconnect between the amount of time we've had to wait for this season and the amount of time that actually passed on the show.
Carmy's "obsession" with Claire makes sense when you consider that he literally just dumped her so of course he's gonna have some feelings about how he handled it with the headspace he was in at the time. The only thing that really grossed me out about it is how he keeps talking about her as his "peace", which an insane pedestal to put someone on. Claire is an actual human being and does not deserve this type of unrealistic and implicit expectation/pressure on her. For her to be the "peace", it means Carmy has no consideration about her having any time of negative reaction or feelings ever; it's all about him and whatever he projects onto her.
And and Faks going to her work to say what they said--I'd be absolutely LIVID if I were her. The amount of time she's had to tell them "I love you (but pls fuck off)" is BEYOND. Idc that they meant well, the fact that it's them telling her how Carmy feels instead of Carmy himself, is so telling. If a man can't even be brave enough to own up to his feelings/words and apologize/fix his own mistakes, what good is he to her in the long run? And the Faks were totally out of line to ambush her at work like that. Claire deserves better and Carmy needs to sort his shit out before he gets anywhere near her again.
This is a huge tv/movie pet peeve of mine. It is really rude, inconsiderate, and unprofessional to show up at someone’s job to have a really personal conversation. This isn’t a life or death issue so wait until after I’m done with work and then we can talk about it!
And that’s even before we address the high school situation of “but he really likes you!” If he doesn’t have the emotional maturity to say that stuff to her himself, then he isn’t ready to have an actual adult relationship.

Yeah. This reminded me of my time in university when my friends were all "[Guy friend of ours] really likes you! You should date him!" and I basically said it would be very presumptuous of me to assume that he liked me that way without him actually saying it. And it's not like I led him on or anything - I basically said "Unless he actually says something I'm living my life as is."

We're adults, we can use our own words.
