Real tennis, like real dancing, happens when the body is rapt and alive, where visceral sensation takes over and the only thing left is the crystallization of every nerve and muscle, both aligned and on edge.
Season 3 of The Bear turned out to be a disappointing holding action. But its first episode was set to a wall-to-wall score, an extended version of Together from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross...that pulsed quietly and captured every bit of tense, determined perfectionism with just four chords.
In the closing moments of La Traviata, as tuberculosis vanquishes Violetta, the stage features a revolving cube that cracks open; she falls backward out of the playing area, swallowed by a swirling mist, knowing she has found her love and lost her life.
Nobody Wants This, featuring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, is the feel-good TV I was missing... Their first kiss gave me butterflies in a way that I hadn't felt since watching my favorite romantic comedies of the early 2000s.
