They could have had a plot line when Steve suffers hearing loss and the impact that had on him and his confidence, the effect on Miranda dealing with his disability and the growing awareness between the two of them of how age will affect them physically and in their relationship. That would have allowed them to show a different kind of more mature love growing in a relationship. That would surely appeal to viewers that have aged with the show and might enjoy seeing some of their own life reflected on screen. But I guess doing that wouldn't allow for slogans, woke alerts and finger bangs.

Plus they are completely ignoring the plot line of Miranda throwing herself at Steve and declaring true love when he had moved on with Debbie and she was with Robert. Miranda was never trapped by Steve and she really has no right to blame him for all of her dissatisfaction with her life. Of course, they did screw up raising Brady--there has been nothing redeeming about his character at all, entitled little tit.

Yep, the writers have made him a deeply unpleasant, entitled, wee shite. Miranda graduated from Harvard law school, and spoke to a manager about sexual harassment from a sandwich, I refuse to believe SATC Miranda would have tolerated her son's disrespect.
 
Carrie
Writes a book, editor wants it to finish with a hopeful note so Carrie needs to go on a date. (We all know she's going to end up with the podcast producer).
Scolds Charlotte for calling her a sex writer.
Goes on a date, drinks lots, they both vomit.
No one bids for Carrie, the professor she hid from bids $1050.

Charlotte
Plays tennis, the opponents are Old Women therefore, are 'witches' who must be beaten. The entirety of this series is what the writers believe older women are, but they convince themselves that they are right on about race, gender identity, so a bit of misogyny can be swept under the carpet, along with Big's ashes.
Harry wants to play tennis, Charlotte reluctant. Charlotte knocks over Harry, doesn't apologise as he mansplains. Harry calls Charlotte on her bullshit.

Cynthia Nixon as Miranda
Verbally berates Steve over the phone in public, for not being at the wrong location, and not being able to hear her. Steve, written as a bumbling old fool has misplaced his wallet and Miranda is visibly embarrassed to be seen with him in front of her professor. This demeaning behaviour and rewriting of his character is unpleasant to watch.
Resigns herself to a 'dead sex life' with Steve. You know, if it's not working for you, it's up to you to speak up.
Tries to recreate the Che kitchen scene with Steve. Part of my soul died.
Che gets on stage, everyone thinks she's brilliant, perhaps the water has been spiked with MDMA.
Another mention of Rambo :rolleyes:
Che didn't message Miranda as she's high all the time and busy. This would be a dumping offence for the men of SATC, but in AJLT it means, "Let's go and duck!"

Special mention to a bizarre scene of an adult toddler screaming he has a toddler. If a woman had done it, the characters would have labelled her a Karen.

I honestly skipped so much of this episode. The tennis was just lame as was the whole go at Harry.
Every scene with Miranda made me cringe, so thankfully I skipped a lot and didn’t even notice what happened at first.

Carrie was … ok? I imagine going back to dating must be tough but so far I haven’t really been invested in her story.

The bad definitely overshadows the “good”.

what they’ve done to Steve and Miranda infuriates me. Didn’t we have the reverse in the first movie?

Yeh, and also in the series wasnt the sex with him supposed to be so good? I get you can go through dry patches or whatever but to now be saying the sex is crap makes no sense. Also personally as a woman I would definitely want someone to wash their hands before anything like that..”unsexy” or otherwise
 
It's Steve's own fault, he shouldn't be a middle aged white man, he has everything

I hate hate hate what they’re doing to Steve - oh he’s so doddery and old and forgets where the market stand is so it’s totally ok for Miranda to have an affair!! 🙄🤬

Yes, Shteve 'WHAT DID YOU SHAY' Brady has committed the cardinal sin of being a white middle aged cis gender heterosexual male. 'Miranda' is quite right to go out and cheat on him, he is clearly evil and very very dull. The twit
 
I actually sort of enjoyed this episode. Or did I?

As an emetophobe, I shall be having sweaty flashbacks to that completely uncalled for vomit scene for approx 48 hours. Pray for me pls.

Charlotte's voice sounded weird when she and Harry were street-arguing after tennis, like she had new false teeth or something.

Che Diaz said something about weed so we know she's still edgy and tit.

Miranda's boobs look incredible.

And Steve! Look how they massacred by boy! 😭
