[Raingirlkm]

Bear's tweets last night:
 

• In the home of beautiful lady hammer . Trying to take a selfie with a burner smartphone .

• Nix that last tweet . Lady who called himself talks and demanded radio silence . Twitter is undetectable , right?

• Though lovers be lost , love shall not ; And death shall have no dominion . # dylan thomas

• Guys , I left my hot pocket stash at the Library . All the beautiful hammer lady has in her refrigerator is cold grenades .

• I could go a little soft , but every military dog knows grenades are not tasty.

• Wait a minute . This apartment is lovely lady hammer . If no food is hidden here, I'll eat my hat . Figuratively. Maybe .

• My painting is dead . . . . I 'm not in the right place , I 'm not a painter . # michelangelo # sistinechapel

• Found : Three energy bars from a pillowcase, cereal box from under the sink , seven bananas on top of the refrigerator .

• Just found a mini fridge FULL OF STEAK . I LOVE YOU , BEAUTIFUL LADY HAMMER .

• Finally, I can post it , I selfie with all my new steak ! # delicious # PersonOfInterest pic.twitter.com/xVQVqGceGC

Bear lives in the library and helps our intrepid heroes.   He is military trained and responds to Dutch language.

 

Some interesting trivia I got from here.

Since his introduction, Bear has appeared in every episode except "2πR", "Booked Solid", "Aletheia","4C", "Last Call", "RAM", and "Root Path (/)".

 

Talk about Bear here, his tweets, his contributions to episodes, etc.

[Dagny]

I was getting worried about Bear. I'm glad he's eating well. 

[Saint TV]

I love Bear. I miss him. I hope he has a role in rescuing Harold.

[immortalfrieza]

Thanks for the bear tweets, I missed those. I would go to the actual twitter page but it's such a royal pain to get them translated into english so I prefer it here.

[Actionmage]

I hope Bear is safe next week! There was a doggie casualty on Agents of SHIELD tonight and a pet corgi was attacked two episodes back on Hannibal! I mean, really. I know they are dog actors, but it still gets to me. Bear had best kick ass then watch his six.

[Raingirlkm]

Bear's tweets for "A House Divided":
 

• Everything depends on education . # tolstoy # warandpeace

• Long man sent me to the safehouse to hang out with three computer men. I've learned that wires are delicious.

• Smiling computer guy teaches me new tricks. He says "tooboe" and I make noise and he gives me a treat.

• The other computer men hate it

• Anyone who has ever accomplished anything great , amazing in its time an abomination , a destroyer . # LeopoldSchefer

• Here is my second attempt selfie . I call this one " The Bear and the Bull . " # PersonOfInterest pic.twitter.com/418XTrNxqY

• I tried to frown computer guy to help take me, but he says he's busy.

• Without a little fanaticism brings no one ever create something great. #RalphWaldoEmerson

• The story of the evolution unfolds with increasing levels of abstraction . # raykurzweil

• Smiling computer guy, frowning computer guy and bearded computer guy are gone. At least treats are still here.

• It was written I would be loyal to the nightmare of my choice. #heartofdarkness #josephconrad

 

 

[Dagny]

We have a glimpse of Bear action next week! Squee.

[merylinkid]

At least they left the treats.

[Raingirlkm]

Bear's tweets for Deus Ex Machina:
 

 

• Injustice is relatively easy to carry; It is justice that hurts. #hlmencken

• Tried to get a selfie in the police truck, but we were moving too much! /9zRqlT99FT #personofinterest pic.twitter.com

• History of humanity is ... a story of plans that have failed and deceived illusions true. #samueljohnson

• Can not talk. Busy sniffing bespectacled man thieves! #do not run #do not hide

• ... and came back to nature / back to our mammalian / siblings ... # richardbrautigan

• ... and all / monitored by machines loving grace. # richardbrautigan

 

[SnarkyTart]

Thanks for bringing the Bear tweets over!   Any dog who quotes Richard Brautigan earns a special place in my heart.  Good boy, Bear. 

[Raingirlkm]

You're welcome.

This quote (from this interview) has me hoping we'll see more of Bear next season:

We definitely need to have Bear flashbacks this season, I think. I definitely don't think we've utilized Bear as a surveillance tool as much as we can.

I don't know about Bear flashbacks, but I'd dearly love to see Bear surveillance.

[basiltherat]

Would love to see flashbacks of Bear as a young pup, although it must be before he fell in with NeoNazis!

[Raingirlkm]

S4E1 - Bear's tweets:

 

Tall man rescued some books from the library for me! My mouth waters at the prospect ...

Bespectacled man has my opinion on a high frequency decision not asked ...

... I read a good paper on stochastic control theory I'd like to share ...

TALL MAN. TALL MAN. LOOK AT ME. I MISS YOU. DO YOU HAVE A BALL? HI. TALL MAN. I LOVE YOU.

What Samaritan? I have a secret identity? Dog the dog?

 

I should not act suspicious. Because Samaritan. Instead of eating books, I will eat shoes.

Wait. I also need to eat the books. Less conspicuous. That's what "dog dog" would do.

 

Hooray, the park again. THE PARK. With my friends. AND PEOPLE. Hurrah

All is to survive, with the exception of death. #OscarWilde

 

Where are we going? This is a strange route for our evening constitutional.

 

[isalicat]

Great season premier and I so missed Bear's tweets over the summer. Good dog!

[Raingirlkm]

[ElectricBoogaloo]

Bear's tweets for S4.E3 Wingman:

 

• Intruder rodents evades capture. Unfortunately, I remain too big to hunt in his stronghold rats
• Rather eaten by a beautiful lion than a thousand rats.

[Raingirlkm]

Bear's tweets for S04E04: Brotherhood:

 

• The blood, sweat and tears of students who waited until the last minute to do their homework fuels me, bespectacled man.

• Truancy for clothes? WHY ?! I do not understand. Again, I do not wear clothes.

• A mole? No mention of rodents for me. Sore subject.

• Hammer Lady is short and sweet - pun intended ... Well, dear sometimes ... at least for me ...

• Human puppy should understand that tall man hates nothing more than those who try to kick puppies.

• If you believe in what you do, use your imagination and initiative, you can make a difference. #SamuelDash

• I know where the bugs are, bespectacled man. But I will not tell. No matter how many belly rubs you inflict on me.

• We know what we are, but know not what we can be. #shakespeare #ophelia

• Life is to be lived, not under control - #invisibleman #ellison

- and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat. #invisibleman #ellison

• Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I've ever known. #palahniuk

I love that bear refers to children as "human puppies."

[fastiller]

I love that Bear refers to children as "human puppies."

I love that the belly rubs are 'inflicted' on him, as if they're punishment.

[merylinkid]

I like that the blood sweat and tears of students fuels him.   NOW we know why dogs eat homework.

[Popples]

I like that the blood sweat and tears of students fuels him.   NOW we know why dogs eat homework.

 

I wonder if he could taste any plagiarism??

[Driad]

 

Is Bear always played by the same dog?  AIUI, animal actors often have an "understudy" in case the main animal is sick or whatever.

[Raingirlkm]

Bear's tweets from S04:E05 - Prophets:
 

• I have an exclusive relationship with the tall man, bespectacled man, hammer lady, and sometimes lady who talks themselves ... and sometimes funny policeman.

• Sometimes it's better not to know when getting a bath or go to the vet.

• Anything is better than lies and deception! #LeoTolstoy

• Why so sad, lady who themselves talk?! You are usually the exact opposite of anhedonia.

• I am happy to help tall man with his therapy. I give excellent advice and my prices are nominal.

• I like it when MOM and dad--I mean lady who themselves talk and bespectacled man to cooperate.

• Panic causes tunnel vision ... #SimonSinek.

• Calm acceptance of risk allows us to assess the situation and review the options. #SimonSinek

• Too long a sacrifice can make a stone of the heart. #WilliamBYeats

• A power that is united, can do all things in front of a majority, which it is not. #LouisCouperus

I had to look up "anhedonia" since at first I thought the translator wasn't translating it. From this article I learned it is the loss of interest in previously rewarding or enjoyable activities.

[Raingirlkm]

Bear's tweets for E04:S06 Pretenders:
 

• Raritan? You mean the American Indian tribe that once roamed these pristine areas, specifically New Jersey and Staten Island?

• It's okay, Hammer Lady. I've had much worse of a mess around here.

• Nobody knows the trouble I've seen. Nobody knows my sorrow ...

• Nobody knows the trouble I've seen. Nobody - oh, okay bespectacled man!

• I believe Master Bond lives in London, Detective Forge ... I mean Walter ...

• This guy needs to calm down before I set out the papers for him.

• HAHA - Hammer Lady and Long Man together? This man is a fool. ... that would be a deadly combination.

• If only all those guns were bones ... I would drool like tall man is likely at this time.

• You ask too many questions, fake man. #ThomasBerger Said: "The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge."

• Aww, Walter. You make me feel things. This situation brings me back.

• You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor. #Aristotle

 

I loved that Bear responded to Harold on the phone, but the Bear tweet that really made me laugh was the one about setting out papers. The first translation engine I used didn't make much sense but when I plugged it into this one I realized Bear was referring to puppies that widdle when excited and the image of Walter as an excited puppy is pretty funny.

[SnarkyTart]

 

Aww, Walter. You make me feel things. This situation brings me back.

Me too, Bear.  Me too.   

[Raingirlkm]

Bear's tweets from E04:S07 Honor Among Thieves:

• You know what else is relevant, bespectacled man? My empty food dish ... 
• What about that, team? I thought I was working for the DIY do-gooders to do good ... and for free food and belly rubs. 
• Hammer Lady always ensures that food from long man's plate gets in my mouth. She really is the Robin Hood of the dogs. 
• One of the most powerful tools that a ruler against conspiracy has ... Is that he is not hated by the vast majority of the people. #Machiavelli

 

[merylinkid]

Romeo, Romeo. Where art thou Romeo? Oh yes, on the way to the hospital because Hammer Lady kicked your ass. #Shakespeare

 

I've going to be laughing over this one for a long time.   Then use it whenever I can.

[DeLurker]

If tonight's ep is as Bearcentric as the promos indicate, I'll be a very happy camper.

[Raingirlkm]

I'm not sure what was more adorable: Bear just lounging in the back seat with a grenade belt, or launching himself into the draining pool.

• And the whole team is on this one ... everything except one ... the real hero ... I.

• There are no abandoned rats for hunting. Think it's time to secure the perimeter ... AGAIN.

[Actionmage]

Just stumbled across this. On the CW, there will be a World Dog Awards show and our Bear is up for an award!!

http://www.cwtv.com/world-dog-awards/

 

Bear is up for Top TV Dog, so let's put him over the likes of Stella  ( Modern Family) and  Giggy (Real Housewives of Beverly Hills)!

[Mars477]

Bear is going to be such a sad dog when he finds out that his best friend/provider of new collars and toys isn't coming back.

[Raingirlkm]

Bear's tweets from E04:S12 Control-Alt-Delete (a bit sparse.):

 

• Absence now and then in the love of good influence and keep her ready and radiant. #RobertLouisStevenson

• Trust is good, control is better. #VladimirUlyanovLenin

• The true nature often remains hidden, is sometimes under control, but is rarely completely gone. #FrancisBacon

• Only in a time of turmoil can one distinguish with fidelity. #Confucius

• Between doing evil and do good, there is no difference other than the turmoil ... #HonoréDeBalzac #1VanDe2

• ... or the peace of conscience; it takes as much effort. #HonoréDeBalzac #2VanDe2

 

[FormerMod-a1]

• Trust is good, control is better. #VladimirUlyanovLenin

 

Trust in Samaritan vs Control/Ma'am?

 

I love Bear,  I'm glad they kept him (her?  did I read somewhere it's a female dog) in the cast.  I always smile when Bear is in scenes.

[Kris117]

I'm still cracking up reading Bear's tweets from last week, with report after report of patrolling the perimeter as the onscreen team goes through the simulations. Of course, the topper is "Very obscure quote."

How did Shaw get to be named Hammer Lady? I've forgotten why that particular blunt object stuck as Bear's nickname for her.

[stealinghome]

Wasn't it in 3x11 or 3x12, when Harold was all "Ms. Shaw, John is a scalpel, you're a hammer" and Shaw said something like "Well, it's hammer time, Harold"? I think that was it. That exchange never ever fails to crack me up (in no small measure because Mister I'm Going To T-Bone All The Cars is in no way more subtle than Shaw!).

[Raingirlkm]

Bear's tweets for S04:E13 - M.I.A.:

 

I hope they find Hammer Lady. She is the only one who knows exactly where to scratch ... and shoot guns.

 

The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse. #EdmundBurke

 

Weiss sounds like a wolf in sheep's clothing.

 

Schrödinger's cat or not, a cat is still a cat. WOOF.

 

How little do they see what really is, who frame their hasty judgment about that what appears to be. #RobertSouthey

 

In Irish, Carrow means an itinerant gambler. Samaritan is literally gambling with people.

 

Sometimes it's better not to know. Sometimes, if you do know you fold up. #RobinMcKinley

Bear's Tweets from S04:E14 - Guilty:

• Before I can live with other people I have to live with myself. #HarperLee

• Sin, guilt, neurosis - they are one: the fruit of the tree of knowledge. #HenryMiller

 

[kwnyc]

Love the Harper Lee quotes...perhaps a tip of the hat to the author of "To Kill a Mockingbird" on the word that there will be a new book from her.

[Miss Dee]

Not to mention it's a book about a trial.

[Raingirlkm]

[Raingirlkm]

Rather belatedly (RL gets in the way sometimes.) here are Bear's tweets for S04:E16 - Blunt
 

• OM NOM NOM...Bone or Bontoni, tastes still delicious.

• Stay in school, human puppies! It may seem like a waste of time but that diploma is priceless.

• Cutting a rug improves cognitive skills and reduces depression and stress.

• Who wants to eat with the devil must have a long spoon. #WilliamShakespeare

• No chaos to me. I'd rather have my days with regularly scheduled meals and several constitutionals.

• Wish long man took me to that Diner. I have a Growl or two saved for criminal child prodigy. #PersonOfInterest @Winston_Duke

• Yes ...Bespectacled Man trusts me to stay away from his shoes and his exams continue ... and we all know how that ends.

Of course, dogs love chewing on sheepskins.

Bear's tweets for S04:E17 Karma:

• No? The answer must be an unequivocal yes. Dogs are also roommates.

• Hector fell for the carnitas? Amateurish. Oldest trick in the book.

• I do not know about this Hector. He seems to me to be the culprit.

• Everything falls to survive nowadays, except death. #OscarWilde

• And Hector goes out with his new friend and convenient alibi. Am I the only one seeing what is really going on?

• One day, a ring box to warn us about Hector. And if so, do not say I did not warn you.

• YES. YES. A WALK. TALL MAN GLASSES MAN AND MYSELF, WALKING. TOGETHER.

[basiltherat]

I was hoping that Bear and Hector would have a play date!

[kwnyc]

Well, I've nominated Bear for the "Disparate Things" competition on the front page (of Previously.tv). So keep an eye out for it, and when it turns up, let's GET OUT THE VOTE!
