I don't know if that's why Big was killed off but they're lucky they did kill him off. I don't know that I'd watch it if he were still in it. I'm enjoying it for the nostalgia factor but there's no way this would be created or successful as a stand alone TV series now. It's totally reliant on viewers feeling attached to the original and curious about what happened to the characters.
 
There's a blind item about him being killed off because SJP knew about the allegations. I'll see if I can find it...

ETA: The three named actress knew what was going on all along, but never said anything. It was why though he was going to be killed off years ago when they were going to make another movie.

I really can't see this being true. If they really knew AJLT wouldn't have happened, or they would have written him in as dead without the need to bring him back. Career-wise they would all want to be as far away from this as possible.

Carrie
She wakes up in her spare Manhattan apartment and keeps shoe boxes on her kitchen counter as a homage to the Old Carrie (not to be mistaken with Elderly Carrie)
She goes to her other large Manhattan apartment, feels feelings and the camera backs to the third person in their marriage. Not Natasha, but Peloton.
Decides to sell the apartment, new character Seema comments on the lovely wallpaper, "Well, my husband wasn't a fan of beige." harking back to when Big complained about Natasha's taste in decor. I'm bored of them continually taking jibes like this.
Seema triggers Carrie by mentioning having a Peloton. They may as well name the series Peloton Just Like Peloton.
Social media manager Chloe uses many inappropriate death metaphors but what the writers really want you to see is that she's in a wheelchair
She looks at some apartments, it's boring. She goes home, the Peloton is back - just how much money are they getting for each reference?
Carrie sticks Big's ashes in her old apartment's closet, one of the most Carrie things Carrie has ever done.

Charlotte
Confirms then cancels colonoscopy for Harry - given how obvious the writers are, we know where this is going
Charlotte plans a dinner party but frets that she doesn't have enough black people going, so part of this episode is Charlotte doing a black person treasure hunt. In the pilot episode of SATC, we were introduced to Charlotte as an intersectional feminist, let us remember her like this.
Charlotte harasses Harry (a successful attorney) to name black novelists when they go to dinner. Because black people are a homogenous monolith. The writers continue to betray the old characters by caricaturing them as Old People Who Don't Understand The World Today.

Miranda
Wakes up stinking of weed, sex-robot Brady and his girlfriend press Miranda about it, she explains she was in a venue with 'alternative types' of people, as though she's describing plant-based milk.
The girls have dinner together and Miranda wants to order another bottle of wine
Miranda has dinner with her professor and they discuss infertility and motherhood. The closest we might get to the original SATC where smart women have a nuanced conversation over a painful topic.

Stanford has gone to Japan and wants a divorce. No one really cares.
In a way, I'm glad Charlotte has a new friend as Carrie and Miranda obviously no longer like her, and find her presence barely tolerable. Ditch them darling, what are they going to do, throw their purse wine and Peloton at you?

This was a brilliantly written episode recap. Very funny. Thank you. 😁

Time to dig out the "old lady" catalogue Samantha was disgusted with receiving. Maybe they could buy some vagina weights?

In the words of our godess Sam, in her quip in response to the words "Oh, my god! Vagina weights... "

"Honey, my vagina waits for no man." 🤣🤣

I don't understand why they are making public masturbating seem normal? Who does this? It's disgusting and uncomfortable, and something you get arrested for? I get that they are trying to seem modern and make Carrie look old and not up to date with it all etc, but Sheesh.
Also being able to hear your son doing it next door and making the picture on the wall move is not acceptable! It's cringeworthy as disrespectful. I don't like how the non binary and transgender is being pushed either. No disrespect, but yes we get it!

Correct. No one should be doing it. I remember Dawn O Porter wrote a book about a woman who got caught masturbating on a train and we, as readers, were supposed to feel sorry for her. Now, there is a difference between a man wanking in public and a woman doing it, but neither should be doing it all, ffs. I loathed that book.

Surely people caught masturbating in public would be charged as sex offenders? It’s not acceptable and not something society wants catching on!

I’m re watching S4 of the original series. Carrie makes me feel so awkward about getting engaged to Aidan!

Did you get engaged to him as well?

Dawn O Porter is a massive bleep. I remember when she was more of a nobody than she is now and she said no one should propose marriage, it should be a discussion. As though proposals are a complete surprise and people that do them haven't discussed it at all. Bit of a bleeping leap, that.
