Carrie as selfish as ever wanting to ignore her friends drinking problem because the attention can’t leave her

It always annoyed me as well how the other three were never really friends and just pined for Carries attention. Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha had no reason to not speak to each other anymore.

Miranda will probably mirror Cynthia Nixon in real life and fall in love with a woman. But sad that they are going to do the Miranda and Steve story arc dirty as they really were perfect for each other in the original series.

Lol definitely!! And surely if he was, he’d die of embarrassment knowing his parents were in the next room, not banging the headboard.

That’s what’s awful, as if you’d be shouting ‘ride em cowboy’ and rattling the wall of your MUM AND DADS bedroom. We all had the decency to keep it on the QT, and my mum would have gone berserk if she heard that. Probably still would 🤣

Why can’t girls just be tomboys now - why do they suddenly have to become a boy?!

I wanted to say this but didn't want to offend (2021 problems), I agree, but it's also such a confusing world for them now, and 13/14 year olds are in that middle bit between child and proper teen so they latch onto things to define their personality and seek attention (in my experience). It's a ride.
 
Rose didn't say "I want to be a boy", they said "I don't feel like a girl"

I agree that it's a tricky age and gaining control is important part of adolescence. So long as teenagers aren't pumped with hormones I don't have an issue with that. Tbh when I was a teen at that age loads of us developed eating disorders to gain some sort of control!

Also….unpopular opinion…I haven’t seen ep 3 onwards yet but I’ve got the gist of what’s going to happen…why can’t Charlotte just have a nice straightforward family life? After everything she went through, I feel like out of all of them Charlotte has always got the raw deal…she so badly wanted a fairytale marriage…didn’t work out. She so badly wanted children…went through hell and back to get them. And I love Harry, I do, but it’s charlotte who ended up with the ugly guy instead of the perfect handsome man she’s always dreamt of!! It bugs me that they couldn’t just let her have what she wanted, the fabulous life with a handsome husband and have the straightforward kids instead of woke kids 🙄

I don't like the idea that having a kid that isn't comfortable in their body makes them not 'straightforward', I'm sure you didn't mean it that way but it came across (to me) that you were almost suggesting Rose was no longer 'normal' and poor Charlotte not having nice 'straightforward' kids. Again apologies if that's not what you meant. X

She is fab, loved her in Greys Anatomy!

I didn’t mind the episode until the stand up scene. It wasn’t needed. Think the Che character is not needed!!

Holy hell I’ve only just realised they were in Greys!! Mind blown. I couldn’t place them and didn’t bother looking it up, thought they’d been in OITNB or something similar

I agree with you. They obvs want to make a non binary character but Che really isn’t needed. They could’ve done that through Rose… also, I don’t believe Carrie would be on that podcast. Why didn’t she carry on writing for an online blog or something? It’s all trying to be TOO modern and it just doesn’t suit. But I loved the actor in greys anatomy. The actors pronouns are they/them as they are non binary in real life. I think it’s refreshing that they atleast got a non binary actor to play it. I think Che will help with Rose identity. I think Miranda will have an affair, I think Steve will get Alzheimer’s like his mom. And Carrie will try to move on with that podcast producer…

Good predictions

I'm a gay woman and quite girly now (long hair, wear make-up, etc.), but I was very much a tomboy as a kid in the 90s/early 00s. It really scares me how much young women who aren't super-feminine are now almost pressured to identify as something other than female. I wonder how many are being pushed down a medical pathway of transitioning when they aren't even old enough to vote or drink.

My girlfriend is in her 40s (9 years older than me) and is a more masculine-presenting woman (what used to be called 'butch', I guess). When she was growing up/in her 20s it was more acceptable for a lesbian to look like her, but now it's almost as if people are offended that she calls herself a woman. She is perfectly happy to be a woman – she just happens to be a woman with short hair who doesn't like dresses!

What's happening is called progress and you get called a terf/transphobe if you say anything even vaguely critical, but it feels extremely regressive to me. It's forcing young people to conform to extremely outdated gender stereotypes instead of letting them just be. Ironically, out of all the people on this show, the only one who had a sensible response to the Rose storyline was Anthony, the gayest of gay men.
 
So episode 3 was...not great. I thought that 'comedy' scene was pretty awful and went on for too long. Also I hate that stupid podcast!

Charlotte's face is still distracting and she sounds strange...as does Steve.

I thought it was so cringe when they all ran away when Natasha spotted them watching her. Who acts like that?!

See I kind of liked them acting the way they did when Natasha saw them, that’s how it used to be, the seemingly cool foursome making fools of themselves, or at least just Carrie tripping over something

I really hate American chat shows, always so OTT emotional. Does she know what ramifications mean? don't we use that for a negative result of something?
With the going on and on about friendship the excuse for Sam not being there makes even less sense

Ramifications, I’ve always understood it as a substitute for impact, not a negative, the outcome of an action and the impact that creates. I might be wrong though, so correct me if I am.
