Reading this got me shook when I was looking for a synopsis of s2 e8 "We also know that Carrie and Aidan are going to be rekindling their previous romance, although we’ll have to wait and see if it’s third time lucky for him proposing to Carrie!" - quote Review Geek. link below https://www.thereviewgeek.com/andjustlikethat-s2e8releasedate/ _______________________________________________________________________ check out @2:35 -3:35 SJP's face when Aiden is mentioned + the bit about Samantha's appearance _________________________________________________________________________ "Last week’s all-new episode of And Just Like That saw all of our favorite characters celebrate Valentine’s Day, but one romance in particular really brought the fireworks. After over 20 years apart, Carrie Bradshaw Sarah Jessica Parker and Aidan Shaw John Corbett got back together again. Sure, there was a slight hiccup over where exactly the two would hookup once more with Aidan blanching at the thought of returning to Carrie’s old apartment, the site of so many of their worst moments but could it be? Is Carrie Bradshaw getting a fairy tale romance all over again? More importantly, what’s next for the recently reunited love birds?"- quote Meghen O'keefe (Decider). link below https://decider.com/2023/08/02/and-just-like-that-season-2-episode-8-on-max-release-date/ ________________________________________________________________________ In this article MPK states " I didn't bring Aiden back to fail." https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2023-07-27/and-just-like-that-aidan-carrie ____________________________________________________________________ These 4 things had me wondering if Samantha arrives for or gets invited to a wedding? John Corbett's IMBD has him appearing in eps 7-11. Would they end the season on a cliffhanger, will the wedding of Carrie and Aiden take place? Or will Carrie finally leave her beloved NYC for Va., or change her mind about it? Thoughts? Would they kill off Big and make Carrie single again only to have her get married again to Aiden? IDK how reliable any of this info is. Items 1 + 3 are written by reviewers who viewed most of the season early.

THANK YOU! IDK how Carrie is giddy and is feeling all kinds of renewed passions for Aiden, because that weakass baby shit Aiden pulled outside her building would've had the exact opposite effect on me. You as a visitor to NYC are going to subject me to an indeterminate period of away games... leaving my perfectly comfortable home where all my creature comforts are and packing up clothes and toiletries and stuff to schlep to hotels at 58 years of age? NO SIR! Couldn't be me.

The remark to Miranda on the street was Big a big mistake? was pretty unambiguous. When Carrie answered Che's question why didn't it work the first time? I thought Carrie's response and tone sounded much the same as her convo with Miranda. Of course you could be right and I could be seeing it incorrectly. I guess I'd have expected a little different tone and demeanor if she was conveying that was my fault, I screwed that up. Maybe said with downcast eyes? ...something in her body language or facial expression to convey her guilt. In this article linked by @bluegirl147 the writer seemed to interpret it the same way: https://time.com/6301380/carrie-aidan-relationship-and-just-like-that/ "It’s jarring to watch Carrie seriously ask Miranda whether or not her nearly 20-year relationship with Big was a “big mistake” in light of her burgeoning romance with Aidan. It’s even more dismaying to see her double down on the sentiment when she tells Che that the reason why she and Aidan didn’t work out before was because of a “mistake.” Big might not have been everyone’s definition of a perfect partner, but he was Carrie’s." - quote Cady Lang Now certainly the part about the book being sad and beautiful is again open to interpretation, but the fact Carrie didn't express the slightest positive sentiment between it was sad, not beautiful and Time. Time helps. That's pretty telling, IMO. Nothing about having good memories of Big to keep with her or that he was a good man or anything. That is pretty odd behavior from someone who lost a spouse of 15 years one year ago. It came off to me as the TPTB denigrating Big and indirectly but quite purposefully, Chris Noth. YMMV, of course.

Neoprene, to be worn on a cruise ship? I like Bishme, but honestly that sounds awful! Absolutely!

Ohhho. Kind of? I was thinking I'd missed her playing his secretary in s1 of SATC . thanks

No? S1 SATC ?

What are your thoughts on why Aiden and Carrie (who were age appropriate) never actually got as far as the conversation about whether to have children? [If you feel like sharing them, of course] We know Aiden was hyped about being a dad because she ran into him carrying his first son in a sling on his back when she was meeting up with Berger. That and him proudly showing her photos of his 3 kids at dinner in Abu Dabi. ...and we know he preferred staying home to going out to clubs because there was a SATC episode all about that. Carrie and Petrovsky even had the convo about whether life together would include having children or not. It's always been my contention that Carrie's actions showed she was never going to marry someone who wasn't wealthy, even though Charlotte was the one who was more upfront about it.

I forgot to even factor that in, though I've stated many times Aiden only became a viable candidate for Carrie now that he's sold his furniture company to West Elm and is well off. So Big took her from a place where she had to hit up her friends for a loan so she could buy her apartment, to being uber wealthy where she can work at her writing if she pleases. She doesn't ever need to worry if her book(s) will be commercially viable or about anything, really. She not only can't even muster a 'but the memories are beautiful' she's telling anyone who'll listen that marrying Big was a big mistake? Damn. That's cold! Now you know how MPK and his sycophants will spin this, don't you? They'll say this is the first show to feature two gender non binary characters just as Ellen was the first network TV show to feature a gay main character, and should be celebrated for doing so. If anyone dares bring up all the retconning, rewriting and character assassination going on they'll just say the audience is a bunch of backward bigoted homophobes who just don't get it. 🙄

Even though Carrie telling Che that she made a mistake certainly could be a comment related to her infidelity during their relationship, I got the impression her using the exact same wording and inflection as she'd just done with Miranda was referring to choosing a life with Big and not Aiden. I could be wrong, of course. I thought it tied right in with what they were attempting to show in that earlier convo with Miranda on the street. Carrie burst right out of the gate saying that she's having such great orgasms. Orgasms as never before with anyone, even Aiden! The SATC scene in the hotel elevator with Big played out with sounds of hearts pounding in the background vs the later one where Carrie stopped the action with Aiden in that very quiet bedroom frustrated by his moaning noises or something seemed to indicate she didn't have near the kind of chemistry with Aiden that she'd always had with Big. So now they tell us things are much hotter with Aiden, and Aiden was really the one she was always meant to be with. Nevermind what you [the audience] thought you saw play out before, that was just Carrie holding back a part of herself blocking the passion she could've had with Aiden. 🙄

Let me get this straight... Seeing a squirrel outside Aiden's cabin in upstate New York was cause for Carrie to scream bloody murder, ...but stories of a chicken inside his vintage red brick farm house in Virginia on his son's bed are utterly charming? The scenes of Miranda reporting in to her internship and Whatever Happened To Baby Charlotte shopping for a dress and trying it with spanx and then ditching the spanx were a total bore.🥱 Carrie (who is now so fulfilled and sexually satisfied as never before) realizes she ruined her connection with Aiden in the past by holding a part of herself back... Will she do some soul searching and figure out why she blocked her blessings? because that sure is a mystery... 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 🙄

I've been feeling resentful that MPK and his team of typists and the E.P.'s seem set on shitting on Big. Having Carrie already dating by the end of last season and having a regular Thursday FWB's thing and even entertaining the cyclist guy if he hadn't had boundry issues with his business partner. That's pretty quick to be so over someone you have a 10 year involvement with that lead to a 10-15 year marriage? I know everyone grieves differently, but come on! Then at dinner when Aiden expressed his sentiment the book was sad and kind of beautiful she counters with it was sad, not beautiful. There was no save offered up; like of course our marriage was beautiful or our time together was beautiful. She just let that sentiment lie there and moved right on to: time. Time helps. And now this? Carrie wonders aloud to Miranda if Big was a big mistake? She absolutely declares to Che that she made a mistake, when Che asked why this didn't work out the first time. It sure feels like if they could scrub every single frame and scene with Big from the whole franchise, they would! The actor Chris Noth hasn't been convicted of anything. No charges have been brought against him. Wow. Just wow. These people can not do subtlety or nuance to save their souls. ...and Aiden is so seductive and sweeps you off your feet, all while he can't even walk into your apartment? His insecurities and total indulgence of same set up not only Valentine's Day night, but all future time spent together as a lifestyle of schlepping around NYC and being away from your comfortable home base. Having to go out and buy duplicates of everything? This is what you want to spend your time together doing? This is romantic? So, so weak.

I'm watching Law and Order season 1 episode 16 Torrents of Greed and there she (Julie White) is playing a waitress being interviewed by Detective Logan (a.k.a.Big) and Sgt. Greevy!

get out! She was Mitzy Dalton Huntley? I would have never recognized her!

Nope Power Lad's name was Wade. Sam (Timothy Olyphant) was a stoner with room mates and no T.P. in the apartment.😮

IDK? If we're thinking the typists should've had him still have his hotel room in order to travel home at a leisurely pace as you suggest... ok I get that. The whole thing is enough to make you tear your hair out. We know who gave the cab driver the destination as only Carrie still lives in NYC. So why does it not register with Aiden when he hears it? Only when he gets out and is facing the building does he realize it's Carrie's old apartment, even though that address would certainly be indelibly etched in his mind... *having bought half of it! *and was eventually bought out when they split

Valentine's Day 2023 was a Tuesday. Maybe Aiden had a Monday meeting and stayed one night in a hotel, checking out Tuesday. Doing some shopping or whatever dudes do while in NYC in the afternoon, and planned to have dinner with Carrie and take a train home? It would be presuming an awful lot to think he'd either be bringing Carrie back to his hotel room or going home with her. It's just been a year since Big died. He'd have no idea if she'd gotten to the point of being with anyone else yet, especially after reading her book. The dinner could have turned out to have a whole lot more of just a friends catching up vibe.

"And Just Like That Season 2 Episode 8 has been given its much-anticipated release date and time. The news has definitely generated anticipation and rumors among devoted fans who are looking forward to the next chapter in the lives of their favorite characters." - Olivia Wilson TV Acute The upcoming episode, “A Hundred Years Ago,” will premiere on the HBO Max (now MAX) streaming service. The eighth episode of “And Just Like That” Season 2 is scheduled to air on August 3, 2023. 12:00 AM PT 3:00 AM ET

Yes! I said as much on one of the earlier threads. ...and I don't like him as much, but why hasn't Isaac Mizrahi been back? I refuse to believe these are the best judges they can come up with considering all the people who work / have worked in the fashion industry. Elle isn't the only fashion magazine... what, no editors from Vogue or W past or present can come on the show? Even some of the other supermodels from back in the day. I agree though, the very best people to do the judging are designers who really know about making clothes!

Maybe he's bunking in at the Brady household, now that it's just the fellas! 😋' just kidding.

oh... and on top of all that mentioned above, Aiden fully intended to just get a hotel room. 🙄

NOoooooo! 🫣

I watched it again and on Valentine's Day night in NYC not only did they have an open table for Carrie +1 (under the name Aiden Shaw) at that restaurant with #60 on the facade, but Harry got a reservation at Gotham at 5:30 and Herbert + LTW got a table at Monkey Bar AND Baxter's mom and dad got the kiddos a suite at the Mandarin Oriental. THE DAY OF. and Seema reserved a couples massage right before they walked into the spa! ___________________________________________________________________________________ One other minor point: if you found yourself in need of a not so intimidating chocolate souffle recipe like Nya, would you go to a bookstore on Valentine's Day and brave the shoppers to buy a cookbook? If only there was some other way in 2023... 🔌💻🖨️

Some here have stated they've recently done a rewatch of original show... You know who needs to do a rewatch? MPK. Aiden already trimmed down, lost the shaggy hair and the "turquoise rings" in season 4 of SATC. Try again MPK and typists. New material needed.

I would love to see the contestants have to show their design on both someone with a traditional fashion model 's height and proportions and a plus size model! Not the first time I've suggested this.

yeah, as I've typed here many a time... couldn't be me! If another actor had played Mr Big I'd probably hate him intensely for being a USER!
