@WendyCR72 That was a mind blowing piece of information!

So Aiden stated he read Carrie's book. Here's something that keeps sticking in my craw. That Mourning period we watched Carrie go through in season 1 seemed hella long as a viewer. Not saying a year is long really, it's just the episodes with somber mourning Carrie seemed to go on and on. Why did she choose to write about being widowed and give talks about it and attempt to record the book when she's trying to get out from under the despair? Carrie was called a sex columnist but really she wrote about relationships. There's been a seismic change in the way people meet with online dating websites and all, what dating actually looks like in the 2020's and marriage (and birth) rates have dropped significantly Some stats reflect fewer married people than singles for the first time ever, others have it at 50/50 and the U.S. Census Bureau states 30% of USA households are comprised of one single person. It seems she could have immersed herself in writing about something other than Big's death right after he died. It could have even provided material for the show if she interviewed people for the book.

How come the restaurant Carrie went to by mistake had a table for her on Valentine's Day... under the name Aiden Shaw?

I can't believe Carrie let loose with that damned scream 7 minutes in! Charlotte's horrible overacting has left her nowhere to go when she's supposed to portray being intoxicated or out of sorts :( Aiden not wanting to go in the old apartment was WEAK! Yes, he may be surprised she was still living there, but if say... they'd talked about in Abu Dabi how she'd always kept it as a place to write, it's not too far fetched to think a big move wasn't something she wanted to face in the first year after Big's death. We know she looked at 37 apartments, bought one sold it and moved back to her old apartment, but he doesn't. If you're going to bring up Vaugn Wysel and Jake, I'll bet Sam (Timothy Olephant) is all grown up and no longer a stoner. 😄 but seriously, I liked the podcast guy for her. I can't believe we're going down this Aiden road again.

I just rewatched episode 2 and I can 100% confirm this above^^^^ was said word for word about the save. It's 24 minutes in.

This is hilarious that we are all so invested in these fictional characters... but being I am part of we: No one EVER said Steve and Miranda hadn't had sex in a year. He said during his confession you and I hadn't had sex in a really long time. Miranda didn't say "just get it over with" She said Lets just get it over with, followed by something about having to get up early. Here: https://www.satctranscripts.com/2008/09/sex-and-city-movie-1.html Dialogue from shitty movie#1 "Yeah. Yeah. - Wait. Wait. Don't come already. - Yeah. - No, wait. Get on top. Let's just get it over with. I mean, we gotta get up in four and a half hours. We never have sex and you wanna get it over with? Steve, we have sex. When was the last time we had sex? There was snow on the ground."

Yep, that author must think the article (and therefor their writing ) will catch fire from being shared around in a can you even believe this? way

Oh my Goodness! Thank you so much! I didn't even think to look in the AJLT section. Yes, that thing dragged on 🥱

"In And Just Like That Season 2 Episode 7, we are predicting that Adian is finally going to drop by in Carrie’s life and, we hope that this one is here to stay. Additionally, Miranda who is out of her Che-lationship might have a chance in the dating world. The amazing news is that there is going to be another known actor showing up in the next episode and it is none other than Drew Barrymore!" quote - Leisure Byte And Just Like That Season 2 Episode 7 is scheduled to arrive on Max on July 27, 2023, at 3 AM E.T. The episode is written by Samantha Irby. The runtime should be around 30-50 minutes.

Hello my friend from the Project Runway forum,😊 I thank you for that, I will probably enjoy reading it. I think I might have worded it clumsily. I left the review in the past year; the movie is from 2018. 🤔

I left a review of a movie Sarah Jessica Parker starred in from 2018 called Here and Now somewhere on this website and forgot to follow the topic. I thought it was under Everything Else/Popular Culture/Movies but I've looked and messaged the moderator there and it's apparently not there. I went to the SATC board to see if there were any topics like Cast in other projects, but there's not. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to find it? When I click activity under my own name it only goes back so far.

Who is Kerry? Is it that lady who changed her name from Karen?

Love this! Nothing to add, but if one more person says deflowered I won't be able to hold in a giggle.

just quoting because I want to read it and chuckle again and again!

Just a few things I think about in regards to the Steve / Miranda pairing, the SATC one, that is. It's not like I think Steve did nothing wrong, but no one is all good or all bad. I don't expect to change anyone's opinion or anything. If Miranda hadn't really loved Steve she'd have gone on and gotten more deeply involved with Dr. Rob and just dealt with him as Brady's dad. Plus at a time when it benefited no one but him, she encouraged Steve to follow his dream and open his own bar with Aiden. She knew he'd feel better about himself if he was a businessman as opposed to another almost 40 year old bartender in NYC. The suit conflict; Miranda genuinely wanted to treat him to a modern suit and have him with her at that company function and introduce him to her piers. I could never ever see say Charlotte not caring that the guy in the picture was making less money and being content to do more of the paying ... or even Carrie, for that matter. That signaled to me she cared about the person, not what he could do for her. Same goes when it came to planning a wedding. Charlotte was concerned with Trey being perfect "on paper" and the 14K Vera Wang dress and went ahead and walked down the aisle despite `ahem` problems and not being on the same page as far as wanting a family and all. Miranda was content to get married in a city garden because she wanted to be with Steve and didn't care about impressing people. You add in her support when he had cancer and her caring for his mother and she was in no way always horrible to Steve, IMO. I hate that he cheated on her (sexless period or not), but she must have loved Steve and been heavily invested in the relationship to have decided she could and would forgive him and move on.

As long as Carrie doesn't scream!

If it were within my power, I'd nix that message in the design BS altogether. For now, make it one challenge. If I could only figure out how to incorporate all the tears falling from the mamas missing their babies in the same week. 🤔

Since they've grabbed onto this concept like a dog with a bone, insisting on entertaining and at times initiating designs with a message... Maybe they could contain that mess by limiting it to one challenge each season to show wearable fashion that indicates to the world you're in support of whatever issue, cause or group. Something that replaces a tee shirt with a slogan. That way all the contestants would be doing it at the same time and they could talk to their heart's content about the issues they care so deeply about and then we wouldn't have to hear it anymore for the rest of the season. IDK, that's all I've got. Quarantine it, I mean limit it to one week.

Ridiculous. You know what else? I think this odd way of speaking is spreading! We have Charlotte who by the latter years of the series was starting this baby talking, wide eyed bit that's now morphed into something so over the top... I cannot stand listening to her anymore. It's like a bad overacting Chrissy Snow. or Carol Channing! Then in s1 AJLT they had David Eigenberg playing Steve as a confused old man who's speech is totally messed up - (already described that in depth). Then Miranda has at times delivered her lines in some weird overwrought fashion you never saw on SATC too. Remember at the beach a few episodes ago when she was talking to strangers asking to use their phone, didn't she seem off? and there have been a few times in scenes with Che where Miranda is just so over the top with normal conversation where a subtle of middle of the road reaction is called for she responds like she's the most shocked and incredulous she's ever been. Or when trying to reassure Che, who's comedy isn't landing? These huge gestures and shouty rah-rah cheers from out of nowhere. I suggest Carrie is starting to do it, too! At times she's overly enunciating and slowing her speech as though she's trying to be understood by someone who speaks little English, or has trouble hearing.

Remember when that was a frequent criticism the judges levied? Times certainly have changed.

There was the Petrovsky relationship where she had to consider whether she'd be able to accept never having children being with him, as he'd had one child and a vasectomy and he was done. He said you're 38, when were you going to maybe have these children? (paraphrasing) "I felt like I 'd been shot with a 38." Carrie said. lol

This is what I was trying to convey; I think you put it more clearly. Thank you. It's really all the fault of this terrible writing and direction. They assassinated the characters of both Steve and Miranda. I remember when they met and Steve was reading a book and encouraging Miranda (distracted by some BS w/ Carrie) to slow down and enjoy her glass of a good wine. He was no dummy and could converse with Miranda the attorney all those years and he was in the hospitality business in one of the 2 or 3 most sophisticated cities in the world. In this mess they have him barely able to utter a sentence. It's not anywhere near as bad this season, thankfully. When AJLT premiered and I heard Steve speak sounding like Buddy Hackett I was stunned. They had him appearing like some doddering old man. As hearing loss was mentioned, before criticizing I wanted to check the actor out in something else. I even posted a video of him doing an interview on Chicago Fire and he has no such speech affectation. He has a New York accent and thinks and speaks without deficit. They could have and would have discussed the break down of their relationship if that's what was happening. Even if Miranda did suddenly realize she didn't want to stay married as a result of meeting someone who awakened new feelings in her, everything we know of the character indicates she would have had a discussion with Steve about wanting a divorce and about how they're going to live separately until all that, the legal and financial side is worked out.

I stand corrected. 😊

I didn't care for Steve saying Miranda never wanted Brady. That seems out of character for him. Just because Brady wasn't planned and Miranda considered abortion doesn't mean she didn't want a child once she really considered her options, the timing and how she'd make it work etc. As I recall she was 37 and had recently been to the Gynecologist and had been told she had an anomaly like a tipped uterus or something and she said it was against all the odds her getting pregnant with that, and Steve having one testicle and all. Once she realized there may not be a later date to have a baby she decided she did want one, and that it may be now or never. Also in shitty movie #2 at the end she shows up in time for little Brady's school play or whatever and tells Steve she took a job at a smaller law firm where she'd have more flexibility and be able to make Brady's activities from now on because it was important to her. Another thing I read a few times was that Miranda engaged in a threesome. I thought she left Che and Lyle and went to the broken couch saying it just wasn't her?

I'm with Brandon. Please God, may we never see those elephant ear sleeves again! NOoooo! 🫣
