I've never liked Richard Burgi much, nor found him very attractive, he looks too much like Mitt Romney. RN is pretty handsome and a good actor. But I still don't care one iota about Ashland.

I never really thought of SATC as a comedy either, tho.

I didn't like it at all either, but it's apparently a nearly $3000 Carolina Herrera. Sometimes they care more about the label than the look.

Blech

TBH, Che's swagger is unattractive to me, as it would be in a guy. The arrogant swagger comes off like fuckboy machismo, like dude bro energy, somebody who brags about bagging pussy and pounding beer (in this case, smoking so much weed they can't remember shit) and it's gross to me. However, SR doesn't seem that way in real life, and is clearly intelligent and talented, so that's attractive, despite the hair. (When SR wore it styled in Mohawk for the series premiere, I did think that was cool.) I do think CN has a crush on SR. Not implying anything else, I'd get crushes on hot costars too, but maybe the shrill, silly way CN has been playing Miranda is her actual real life response to SR. I thought this was funny. An IG post from everyoutfitonsatc, with the caption "It's Che Diaz's world, we just live in it." There are lots of responses like Hard Pass, etc, and then this simple one from Zoe Kravitz. Baha.

He's been in every episode that featured the "podcast," generally smiling so much at Carrie’s every utterance, and being so hot while he did it, that many speculated he would indeed wind up involved with her

I love jewelry and sparkle but clearly have no clue when it comes to 'real' jewelry cuz there is no way I'd ever know this necklace was so ridiculously valuable . And it doesn't even appeal to me, I probably wouldn't ever have given it a second glance. Good thing I'm poor anyway, I guess

I have honestly never once noticed CN's teeth. I would like some sourdough challah for breakfast right now. I had no idea CN and EH were cancer survivors. I knew SR was a Broadway baby, and I'm sure they can sing well, but I couldn't tell from that California Girls cover. (Also, I bet Big was a Beach Boys fan). Also, tho they did ask Miranda to go with them, the song mostly seemed to exist to inform Miranda Che would be sampling a buffet of other women while in California, complete with semi-crude gesture of pointing to their crotch while singing about being 'down there. But tho we know Che isn't into traditional, we get no real idea of what that means in regard to Miranda. Is she okay with Che having extracurricular fun? Will she join them? Is being with Che a bit of an adjustment, a learning curve, after only being with men all her life? You'd think some of these things might have been discussed between the friends. They used to discuss everything, and this is new territory for Miranda. Remember Samantha's "hey, did u know we have 3 holes down there?" (Which, um, yeah, Sam, did it actually take a little lesbianism to teach you that? I do not believe that) . Wouldn't you think there would have been SOME convo along those lines? But I should probably be grateful there wasn't.

I don't think we were ever supposed to think Hello It's Me was Big's FAVORITE song. It's that it was the last one they danced to in their kitchen the night before he died, so it held a special significance in Carrie's mind. But I have no problem believing Big would like the song, or Todd Rundgren, who was a great artist, at least enough to have an album or 2. What we know of Big's musical taste was Blood Sweat and Tears before breakfast and a lot of Sinatra, and When A Man Loves A Woman. (He had kind of cheesy taste, really, imo.) Moon River reminded him of his parents. He would have been a teenager when Hello Its Me came out, right? That's the demographic of who woulda liked that song, mostly. What music would make more sense? Just curious. Maybe some jazz. I think maybe he'd be a yacht rock guy.

Hmm. I hate SR's 'do and am not fond of Che as a character, but I do think they are objectively pretty physically attractive. CN's wife may be the best person on the planet but...I can't express this without being unkind, but I don’t think she looks at all like SR

I can't sleep (bad weather and my BFFs dad in the sad process of dying) and I watched the episode again. And when it was over, I flipped around to find something else to watch, and E! is showing an SATC marathon, and the episode on: The One. It's just insult to injury in the Miranda debacle. I read yet another interview today, maybe linked from here, I can't remember, where the showrunners insist that Miranda had never been in love before. That she only married Steve because they had a baby. Which is just such bullshit. The Miranda of this episode is most definitely in love with Steve. I have no problem believing she just...isn't, anymore. It happens. But don't fucking tell me she never was. And MPK wrote this freaking episode! He's just apparently completely forgotten it. Also, during the bat mitzvah coffee bar scene, Miranda is drinking the extra foamy cappuccino and licks some off her upper lip. How are we NOT supposed to think about the movie and the foam mustache and the Brooklyn Bridge? Ugh. The Harry of this episode and Harry now almost look like 2 different people. Its not just the age, he really looks better with a little more weight. He looks so much older than he is, imo. I watched the documentary. Mostly I was just in it for the clothes. I liked it, for that reason, anyway.

I didn't hate it, and if there is a second season I will still watch it. I guess there are shows that I hate watch on occasion but if I really just hate a show I stop watching it. The walking dead was ruined for me after a certain character came on and I just gave it up. Tho...I was TRAUMATIZED by the Veronica Mars reboot, and I'm still bitter and absolutely hope they never try it again, so maybe I get the "long national nightmare" comments a little. But if there is a season 2, I'll watch. Miranda was the worst part of the whole season and remains so, and if season 2 didn't have her and Che crashing and burning, I'd be annoyed. I have no idea, really, where they're going here, if we're supposed to think Miranda is headed for a fall or some stupid happy ever after I am a diehard atheist but Miranda was being an asshole to Carrie. If it gives her comfort to think Big was trying to communicate with her, that's her business. It has nothing to do with you. Fuck right off. And damn Chris Noth. The dream and bridge sequences would have been really touching with an actual Big sighting. The big dress on the bridge was dumb but it was Carrie. It's what she would always have done. And I actually was touched that her new podcast/talk radio show is called Sex and the City. And producer guy is hot. And its been a year. I loved the rabbi, even when she was being a buttinski. She's delightful. I understood Rock not wanting to do the thing but, yikes, bad timing. Charlotte's dress was not good. I still thought Aidan might show, and I love JC but we really don't need to see aidan/carrie part 3 or 4 or whatever. I found the Hello its Me refrain again touching, especially the lyrics "its important to me that you know you are free" line being highlighted, as if Big were telling her to move on. Its cheesy but sweet. Big was cheesy, after all.

Well, he asks where John is, so maybe that, but I have a feeling that promo is edited and there's more context to the conversation. We'll see.

I have never ever wanted kids, not for a second in my life, so I realize that I have a hard time understanding what is a very fundamental desire in many people’s lives. But real love and a good relationship with someone you respect and value and enjoy is rare enough to find, so the idea that someone who has that, and has had it for years, as Nya and Andre seemingly have, would decide to throw that all away, throw away the person who they love and who has loved them, for a child that doesn’t exist…I don’t get it. I can’t wrap my head around it. But it looks like Andre might do just that, if Nya just doesn’t want to do the IVF thing anymore. Then I think that if my significant other told me they never wanted another cat, after years of having cats…well. My life is incomplete without pets, I’ve never NOT had several, so if he suddenly changed his mind about having them, I’d have to rethink the whole relationship too. Yes, I'm being serious. This probably seems like a flippant comparison, I know, but again: my life is incomplete without cats in my life, I love them so hard. So maybe I get it on some level. But it’s damn sad.

It’s funny, because when I first saw Che, I did indeed think of Lea DeLaria, tho SR is far more physically attractive, imo (in spite of the hair, which I just can’t help but find fug). Lea is kind of aggressively unattractive to me, but maybe that’s just me. But this statement is BS. I’m sure there are those who find trans/non-binary characters objectionable just cuz they’re bigots, and I’m sure that is a factor for some not to like Che, but I haven’t once seen that given for the general dislike of the character and the storyline. Overwhelmingly, it’s just because the character is a cliché, not well written (tho SR tries her hardest with it), arrogant and swaggery as Andrew Dice Clay, not funny, whose sole characteristic seems to be bragging about weed and sex. But mostly, it’s not even about Che, it’s about the destruction of the character of Miranda, not for questioning her sexuality or her marriage or her happiness, but for becoming a completely different, shrill, weird, selfish, desperate shadow of her former self who we are inexplicably supposed to root for. I’m sure writers and MPK and CN choose not to believe this and prefer to cry Homophobia/transphobia/bigotry, which should indeed be called out, except it’s mostly not the case here. DeLaria can take a seat tho.

I think Miranda's specific words to Carrie were that she couldn't be the white woman who just writes checks, as in she was expecting her, as a friend, to ALSO show up at the event to paint. She was guilting her friends, not saying the organization didn't like or even prefer the actual money. And Carrie made it clear she was still writing a check, as I'm sure Charlotte did as well. I thought Nya said that whoever was supposed to be providing lunch that day and got the dates mixed up was DONATING the food. And so I wondered if LTW got those food trucks to donate or if that was her version of writing a check.

I was 9. Still playing with dolls and then I got my period and fairly soon after, boobs. I looked 16 when I was 10. I got into a lot of trouble.

I like this angle a lot, but have no confidence that this is what the writers intended.

I love this show. I also love and cringe at Sam, she's such a train wreck, but she's trying. She fucks up but she's admitting it. Sofia is such a charismatic performer that she evokes deep empathy from me even when she's being loathesome. The ending, with the karaoke, was charming.

Of course, we saw Carrie tell Miranda, long ago, that she wasn't herself around Big, that she "wore little outfits" and always tried to be perfect with him. And they wound up as endgame anyway. And it was Miranda who called her on it, told her she shouldn't have to change who she was for someone. Miranda, the used-to-be voice of wisdom. Carrie needs to call her on it now. Although there IS some tiny part of me that has hope that they're going there with this. Miranda's "this HAS to work" to Che and her at least slightly self aware "i know, I have a problem" to Carrie when Miranda was freaking out about Che not leaving her a voice-mail makes me kind of think we are supposed to realize Miranda is not being her authentic self. Who knows. This is either kind of funny or infuriating. Maybe both. From CN's IG. Even Che is team Steve. https://www.instagram.com/cynthiaenixon/p/CZR5hWmrGq1/?utm_medium=copy_link

I could totally get into Nya and Steve. I think the wavy hair is meant to connote that, with Che, Miranda is all wild and free, but really it just makes her look like Ches's Nana.

I'm sure none of that helped, and those were the reasons they separated the first time. But they got back together. she dealt with Bunny, and miraculously Trey's dick began to work pretty well. The final breakup was because he didn't want to keep trying for a baby. I too want to know what the Hobbes-Brady living situation is now. Miranda should have been the one to move out, but of course its probably Steve who had to. Unless they're still sharing the brownstone while Miranda gets her groove on wherever with Che.

I thought that very thing. That Nya was Trey, which is one reason I always felt sorry for Trey. Imagine someone who was supposed to love you telling you that you aren't enough, that they're choosing a non existent child over you. I know that's an oversimplification of the issue, and though I never wanted kids, I'm not negating the import of wanting them. But we were always supposed to be on Charlotte's side in that situation, and just think Trey was weird and selfish. They weren't ultimately a good couple but it wasn’t all Trey's fault. Here, though, I do think we're supposed to be sympathetic to both Nya and her husband. But imagine being with someone 15+ years and then having this impasse. It really seems Nya doesn't want kids at all. I'm guessing they're heading for a breakup too? Yeah, what was with LTW's outfit?? @27bored, you made me lol, for real.

Okay, first, to get it out of the way: I hated everything having to do with Miranda, so there’s that. I have absolutely no idea what Che sees in her. She acts so incredibly flaky and weird and shrill with Che, there is nothing charming about this Miranda. I do not understand CN’s acting choices here, so I have to assume that this is maybe how she really behaved in her real life situation, and I do not know how her real life wife didn’t screaming from her. I don’t hate Che, tho they are kind of a cliché (ha cliCHE) of a character, but sadly I sure don’t like Miranda anymore, and I don’t know why Che does. I loved the Steve/Carrie scenes, they felt real, and Steve looked hot, and felt more like Steve than he has in any previous episode. EXCEPT for the wedding ring thing. How much Miranda/CN propping do we need, for the love of jeezus ? When my husband cheated and I kicked him out, I took off my ring immediately, and later, on a girl’s trip to Chicago, I threw it into Lake Michigan. Why would Steve feel this undying devotion to a woman who apparently never really felt he was good enough for her and blithely cheated on him and left him without a backwards glance? Is it just the good Catholic boy thing? Fucking throw the ring down the toilet, Steve. And the wedding ring stuff with Carrie made me cry, I will not lie. Like many have posted, it’s baffling to me how much I like Carrie here. I almost love her, honestly. I FELT her pain, and her panic over losing the ring down the sink. The scene with the new date guy was poignant to me, though I feel like maybe he shouldn’t accept her last date offer. Maybe the ship has sailed. But he was the one to first mention the 3rd strike, so I guess he’s up for it. I liked her scenes with Seema too. I like Seema, and the hot Prada/club guy. You get yours, Seema. I loved most of Seema and Carrie’s outfits here (except for Carrie’s platform 5 inch heels to paint in, which: stupid). Carrie is definitely looking pretty again. I half expected Carrie to start shrieking ‘You’re just a doorman! Doorman! Doorman!’ outside that club, since they winkingly referenced the movie scenes regarding this situation, and she DOES kind of look like Leslie Mann. Okay, Lily. WTF is with all the drama? It’s weird to me that she was so opposed to tampons, but whatever, people are different. But she was so over the top and clingy and needy. I got my period when I was 9 and started wearing tampons right away and definitely never asked my mom to help me out with any of it, and Lily is a smart and savvy FIFTEEN year old. It just all felt inauthentic and strange. What kind of freak would walk into a Jewish family’s home and announce there was no holocaust? Well, the kind of freak who is a Holocaust denier, I guess. Anthony’s reaction was the only one to have. Not to be smug Charlotte, but I never had a single hot flash or any other real menopause symptoms either. At least I never bled out on a public Brooklyn street wearing all white, either. I thought Brady seemed fairly dismissive of Miranda, but it was hard to tell if it had anything to do with the divorce or if that’s just…Brady.

Miranda read gossip magazines while Steve worked on their new house. I think you can be intelligent and still like things like cartoons and trashy mags. Miranda was intelligent enough to be a good lawyer, obviously, but I've never considered her an intellectual. I have no idea if Robert was an intellectual. Steve wasn't, probably, Proust or no Proust aside, but liking cartoons didn't make him stupid. Neither did liking to watch TV and eat ice cream, which are also things we saw Miranda enjoying when she was single. Miranda's pretty much the only one we ever saw watching TV, and often. Anyway. It’s not enough for her now, which is valid. Blackish, last nite, had a funny subplot about this very thing. The on again, off again grandparents, who are on again, had settled into a routine of certain meals on certain nights in front of certain shows (shrimp scampi while watching Jeopardy) and asked their grandson and his girlfriend for tips on keeping things interesting. The things the young couple suggested seemed pedestrian and silly to the older folks and vice versa, cuz every couple has their own style. Anyway, at least they were TRYING to address what could be an issue of predictability to shake things up. Miranda apparently was discontented but never actually tried to do anything about it. I wonder if she hadn't met Che if she'd ever have addressed it or just gone on being unhappy without changing anything. It's sadly realistic that most people won't do anything about a situation until they have a new person or place to go.
