Soon, mixing with Bette and Tina's circle of lesbian friends, Jenny learns that her mid-west university may not have prepared her for what she will learn about life, lust and love in Los Angeles.

Welcome! @SATC-Fan As for Aiden even though I never really thought they were right for each other as far as ending up married, I did feel sympathetic towards Aiden when Carrie cheated on him with Big and when she accepted his engagement ring and then bailed. However this time around his expecting her (at 59 or so) to wait around for five years before starting their life together reeks of self-centeredness and no regard for her time or her happiness. What if Carrie Bradshaw is destined to live until the age of 62? He should have told her to take any opportunity that comes her way to be happy and if you're still available when I get through taking care of my kids we'll see if we want to pick up where we left off. Personally, I could never have made it through that BS where he wouldn't enter her apartment because of past bad experiences there... that is UNTIL he wanted to lay out the above described lousy deal! Then, suddenly it was no problem!

Very succinctly put... and so true! When I saw how lame the episode was except for maybe a minute of chat with gardener... I thought I'd rather have watched Shoe climb her new cat tree. I wonder if MPK is still so set on what he said at the start of s2, that he didn't bring Aiden and Carrie together again just for another break up? They seem totally fake and contrived as a couple and it surely seems like some BS Carrie would never put up with. 5 years of waiting around for his lame ass? The very fact that he would ask such a thing 🤨

Yes to the purple and lime green outfit reminding us of the one from Hot Child In The City. I went looking for info on it and came across a write up that mistakenly attributed the strawberry shortcake giant hat to s3 ep3. That price of that hat was 450 GBP and the teal blue dress many of us liked in an earlier episode was 495 GBP. Make that make sense.

When Aiden's ex asked Carrie for the favor I thought it might be more along the lines of the pharmacies in our area are out of Adderall, can you see of one in your area has it, and if so I'll have the prescription sent there and could you please get it filled? Everyone knows you're not supposed share prescription medication with others. I too thought for a minute it might be setting Carrie up to get in trouble for flying with a baggie of someone else's unlabled prescription pills.

I did. I thought maybe they were trying to show how frustrated LTW was? ...but IDK why she couldn't have just said it's worse than not ideal.

Did everyone but me know there was a British film director named Steve Mcqueen? A Black man of 55 who directed 12 Years A Slave, among other things? I kept thinking isn't Steve Mcqueen dead? for a while now? 🤔 < feels very old

😊 So they were fine during their formative years while Aiden traveled to the far flung corners of the earth searching out leathers, fabrics and rugs for the interior design business... but now that they're 15, 17 and 20 they're too fragile to endure dad leaving for a few nights to visit Carrie in NYC or meet up with her at some mid point between there and Virginia? 🤔

WTF did I just watch? Less than 4 minutes in and crazy Charlotte had already ruined things without a word... just opening her eyes as wide as possible for no reason at all. I thought for a moment that nonsense was going to rub off on Miranda. Someone get a big net and scoop up Charlotte and take her somewhere for a nice long rest. Carrie and Aiden have no chemistry AT ALL, that I can see. She sounded ridiculous with all that give him a key... this is his house too BS. ...and really? Seema and Carrie cannot handle driving a rented car and taking their belongings with them when something happens to that car? But yet Carrie is an elite 1%er wealth wise and Seema is a NYC luxury real estate broker about to start her own agency? They can't execute ordinary life tasks adults do? SJP looks beautiful. How does she manage such a natural looking suntan practically every month of the year? (been asking this since SATC) Kristen Davis' figure is looking great! The LTW segments continue to feel like their own show. I'm not sure I'd watch. She's just too dramatic over nothing. Beautiful lady though. IDK. I'm annoyed. This is feeling disjointed and like a shameless money grab.

Who else plays can I mute her in time when you sense one of Carrie's ear-splitting screams coming? See, from the preview I was ready for the one when she was sitting outside and the swarm of rats was about to run through... but what was with the next two screams? 😱 😱when poor innocent Shoe 🐈 grazed Carrie's ankle with her furrz and then when Aiden 🙎‍♂️let his own damn self in. How am I supposed to sense that coming? 👀 🖐️

Even though SATC Charlotte was an old TV friend, I freaking hate this Charlotte! Even the headmaster at the kids' school asked what's with the Charlotte eyes? and thought from the way she was conducting herself a terror attack was happening. IDK whose idea it is to have a woman near 60 responsible for children acting this crazy, MPK and his team of writers? Or less likely... these are acting choices Kristin Davis herself has worked into her portrayal of Charlotte? ....but it has gotten beyond cringe worthy I really wish she'd moved to another continent instead of Samantha. Speaking of which, Seema could never... 🙄 Even with those complaints I agree this episode was better than the first one. Shoe continues to be brilliant at acting adorable and fuzzy. It was nice to see Lisette, and a possible suitable match for Miranda, even if it is through work. ...and I'd rather see Carrie get with the gardener (or anyone) than keep going down this well worn path with Aiden... made even more ridiculous with the wait 5 years for me stipulation. .

Aiden's older kids were 17 and 20 and Wyatt, the special needs one was 15. He got in an accident at his mother's [with a car there?] on magic mushrooms and beer and hitch hiked to his dad's farm. He said he needed to be there with them and Carrie asked for how long? Aiden said until Wyatt is out of his teens. Carrie said she'd come visit and then he added the part about no contact.🙄 ...because he'd be too distracted. It's at 32:00 in the s2 finale ep11

Nope. Not just you.

@MamaMax I was just about to post something very similar! It continues to burn me up that they had Carrie marry Big and become obscenely wealthy when he died prematurely. The biggest thing SATC drew criticism for after the friend group being basically all white was Carrie being able to attend fashion shows, live in such a great apartment (which she bought) and afford $400-$600 shoes on a freelance writer's earnings. She bought designer clothes and seemed to browse thrift shops for fun and because she thought vintage fashions were kitchy... rather than out of necessity. They've written themselves into a corner, because what can they do with her character now? If they'd let Carrie's life choices go where they were going to go, her being unable to keep up with Miranda and Charlotte's lifestyles and ability to travel, shop, dine and attend events could've introduced some much needed realism to the show. maybe she'd have been forced to move out of Manhattan? THAT would give her something to scream about! Or maybe she'd have to acquire a room mate? All through the SATC shows, the shitty movies and now this reboot thing they never had Carrie admit to being a social climber or out to snag a really rich guy... it just spontaneously happened.🙄At what age? She was 38 when she was dating Petrovsky. What was that thing that went around in the 90's that according to stats a woman getting married in her late 30's was about as likely as being in a terror attack? Some BS like that... Even if that was grossly overstated... really, how likely is it that someone Carrie's age who's not even trying for a rich husband just lucks into marrying one, and then gets all of his wealth well before he grows old and sickly? In fact he was pretty good looking. Look at who Anna Nicole Smith had to marry, for money? ...and I've stated this over and over again, the chances of a woman being able to stay with a man who kept her on the back burner for 10 years while giving it a go with half the women of Manhattan before settling for her are just about nil! How would one look across the breakfast table at him and not be thinking about that?

Absolutely. Charlotte's metamorphosis into 50something ditz stands out the most, but they're all doing too much a lot of the time. Charlotte was so much smarter and more likeable early in SATC.

Yep! One thing that did actually tick me off in this tepid episode was Carrie not telling Aiden he had some nerve asking her to remain chaste and waiting around for him to sort out his brats kids... for five years! I feel like SATC Carrie would've said I'll be dating and living my life, feel free to call me when you get through all thaT, and we'll see what's what. My mum has a tendency to change passwords often. I haven't changed most of mine since 2008! She thinks one up... usually something to do with her girlhood in London and says confidently "I'll never forget that!" Seconds later, guess what? Forgotten. So I bought her a little book and suggested she note changes she's making in it and date it, then log-in. ...but what do I know? 😏

I don't believe what i went through to watch that. MAX is free with our cable package, but you have to be signed in on the account of the person whose name is on the bill.... which in my case is my 91 year old mum. She doesn't see well and hasn't been able to remember her user name or password for quite some time. Every season I frantically search for a link to watch AJLT free and risk picking up computer viruses, malware and such. I did it for seasons 1+2 and for some other shows that streamed on (I think) Paramount like Fatal Attraction. Finally this morning at 5 am I gathered my courage and helped her sort it out on her computer by being her eyes. We'd been omitting a period in the middle of her username that isn't there on most of her accounts. After I watched I said to myself, for that? 🤔

I agree with every word @luna1122again Thanks for saving me the keystrokes! Shoe is cute.

Season 3 Episode 2 “The Rat Race”: Thursday, June 5

This is so true! I have an array of medical problems and see half a dozen doctors and no doctor has touched me since before the pandemic. Come to think of it, I haven't even doffed my street clothes except for one time when I was having a surgical procedure. So there's the healed bite on her arm she's tried to cover up with a tattoo and the bite she sustained on her torso when she and Dina went into that unstable building whilst on patrol. She was shown starting to cut around it with a knife, presumably to try and obscure the fact that it was a bite... but something would've come of that with her in a hospital bed being tended to by medical staff. They would have raised the question of why she was harming herself? [if it truly ended up looking like a cut]

In the world they depicted of Cordecyps infecting people and making them so dangerous to regular humans and the way everyday life had broken down to a struggle for survival... yes a trip across the country would've been very dangerous for Joel and Ellie. and Joel had wisdom and skills to impart to young s1 Ellie. He also was a tall man which might serve as a deterrent if someone along the way had been of a mind to mess with Ellie. Two small of stature women with about 30 years less life experience than Joel with his special skill set would've been more vulnerable and the trip even more challenging. That's why it was so ridiculous for Joel to tell Marlene it was all her when she marveled over the fact they got there. She even stated her team lost members and she herself almost got killed making the trip. I brought the convo up at the top of my post above to say that is the moment I should've stopped watching. So, I agree with you.
