Sex and the City

[scarlet]

Yeah, I mostly enjoyed this latest episode. I really like Seema the most out of the newbies, but they're all OK.

Worst part of last night was zero follow-up to Miranda jetting off to Cleveland to surprise Che. So am I supposed to believe Che, who in this episode visibly bristled at Miranda calling herself 'the girlfriend' and getting antsy when Miranda showed up at their apartment unannounced, had no problem with her popping in on Che on the road? Gimme a break.

Oh, Charlotte, four months without a period doesn't mean you're done, silly woman. Kinda serves you right wearing white to a painting project.

I had to pause and go back the Episodes list too.

This was the best episode, primarily because most of the characters were in one place. The men are still being given nothing to do, but Steve and Carrie's scene was very nice.

Miranda is acting less mature than Lily.

As a Gay Male who has zero experience with Tampons and, uh, that area, I was totally surprised that there were options other than Tampons. The only other option I knew was a Sanitary Belt, which I think is from the mid-century.

Sorry, I am THAT GUY.

I do hope we get more seasons, because I do like the characters and setting, but let's do some research and have some conversations, Writers!

Final episode thoughts:

If I saw a woman walking around Paris in that orange and pink getup, I would feel sorry for her and her clear mental health problems. I would also keep an eye on what she was doing on that bridge.

So I guess it's going to take until Season 2 before the show gets around to Miranda realizing Che is nothing but a jerk who treats her badly, and that it's a mistake to base her life around them.

When Carrie had that conversation with Big's brother, who at first didn't seem to be aware of his brother's death, I wondered for a moment whether Carrie simply forgot to notify Big's family because that's how self-involved she is.

I think they will get a second season, perhaps shorter than this one.

Miranda continues to suck and betray the character.She's leaving her prestigious internship AND her teenage son to go to LA with her new fling? Ugh.

I will say the show found its footing about half way through. Even if it's not the original SATC and many of the characters are oddly boomers now, it's not a bad watch. Even if some of it is hatewatch.

Wasn't he at the funeral?

On a positive note I do think the show improved from the first episodes. The last few episodes were more like the old show, I’m sure that’s a lot of it.

I was honestly shocked in the beginning when the podcast hosts were discussing bad breakups when Carrie brought up Big dying (again) instead of bringing up the post it note. Breakup by post it note is such a good story! Much more fun and lighthearted on a comedy podcast than constantly bringing up your husband’s death.

I said to my husband “Here comes the post-it note!” And then cringed when Carrie preferred a pity party to a funny story ending with a doobie.

And the whole Charlotte/Rock Mitzvah story sucked. They should have just announced a the party wasn’t a Mitzvah, it was a celebration/affirmation of Rock.

I did like the rabbi. I would watch a show about them.

Yeah, saying death is "the ultimate break-up" was a tad annoying, as it's not like Big chose to die to get away from her. The post-it (I'm sorry, I can't, don't hate me) break-up was epic.

Definitely agree that the show found its footing in the latter episodes. I wouldn't be adverse to a second season, if only to see Miranda take some lumps. Now she's running off to LA with Che and re-dyed her hair? Is the show trying to make the point that if a man can have a mid-life crisis, so can a woman? Kinda doubt it, because this life change seems to be meant to be celebrated.

Shallow: a coffee bar and a candy station? I wanna go to all Charlotte's they-mitzvahs.

Right? I was jealous. 😂

I felt all the kids on the show were a bit bratty and too young. Brady and Lily should be in college if they would follow the original timeline.
