Does Carrie always have to be such a bleeping one upper? ‘You say your sex life is dead but BIG IS LITERALLY DEAD’ ‘you may have tit yourself on a date but DID YOU DO IT AFTER YOUR HUSBAND DIED?’ Christ.

Kind of normal when your husband has just died to be honest.

This episode was less annoying; I like seeing more of Seema and Anthony but the other secondary characters can get in the bin, they’re boring. And Che…just no.

Just found this thread so apologies if what I say has been said before… This show makes me sad. I feel like they’re shoehorning as many “woke” issues and diverse characters into the plot as they possibly can, with no regard to the actual storyline or flow. And I don’t feel like they’re doing it for the right reasons - each of those issues and characters (black, brown, transgender, non-binary) just seems like a token gesture.

I really thought the show would have moved gracefully into the modern world but instead it’s an embarrassment.

And Miranda…. Where do I even start? She’s the most horrendous character.

I miss the old Miranda, she was great. 😕

Agreed! Old Miranda was so relatable for me, I’m in a similar job and when she was struggling to juggle baby Brady and her long hours it really spoke to me. Also when she had a go at the girls for only being able to talk about men (even though that was a one off and she mostly obsessed with them too). She’s so cringe now.

So Miranda said it was 3 months since she sent Che that text. Which I suppose makes sense then because we saw Carrie have her hip operation and then time passed before she was able to
Wear heels again at the end of that episode and then we saw the seasons change during the opening of this episode so yeah I guess 3 months since Carries op and since Miranda text Che?

Three months waiting for a text back. Miranda, did you learn nothing? They’re just not that into you.
 
And just like that its turned into the Miranda show, Why is Miranda recreating what she did with Che but with steve, I wouldn’t say that’s trying to help your sex life 😳 maybe try using Steve penis in a romantic setting and not a finger in the kitchen but that’s just me 🤷🏻‍♀️! And the L bomb duck off it’s not believable for a second and Im just sad about Steve because they portraying him so weird and none of the ladies care about him! Carrie didn’t need to got on that date to write the end of her book she could of just said I’m not ready to date yet but I’m still in New York, still with my friends and back to being the hopeful independent single girl or some tit like that or just bleeping lie 😂 Would rather that than forced a woman who just lost her husband to go in a date. Charlotte just apologise for knocking Harry over Ffs! And still the other women in the show just don’t feel they are in the same show, they haven’t even interacted with eachother or Carrie and Charlotte.
 
Oh Steve the producers did you dirty...

👏👏👏 This nonsense seems to me to be homophobia and men trying to erode women's rights and boundaries dressed up in a new way. Same old nonsense, different day. There was a Twitter thread a while back where young lesbians were describing how they are being pressured to have sexual relationships with people who self identified as women and when they refused were being shouted down as bigots and Terfs. When will people wake up to what's going on under their noses.

Yeah, I had the same experience. Thankfully I was in my 30s when I came out (still am, so this is all still fairly recent for me), so I'm glad that I had the life experience/confidence to say hell no to all of that. It's just a bunch of men who are mad that women won't have sex with them – a story as old as time really! There are lots of ways to be a woman, but ZERO of them involve having a penis.

Slightly going off topic but this is pretty much all that JK Rowling said and she has been more or less crucified by both press and her HP co stars. She said that she was afraid the term women would be obsolete soon when discussing periods and she's been labelled a transphobic. It's crazy.

So that episode was awful, for all the reasons already mentioned. Just some random musings…

They should have kept the narration and themed episodes where everything links. The new format stinks.

The character Che is the absolute worst, in every way 😖

Carrie’s apartment was completely redecorated in the first movie - and has been decorated again since - but she seems to have held on to some of her old furniture from the series? I’m confused. As much as I’d like to pretend the movies didn’t happen, they did.

What they are doing to Steve’s character is awful - but I did consider that he’s going the same way as his mother, Mary? However, that would be an actual link to the original series and I just don’t think the writers are that invested in, or care about the original characters.

I don’t give one flying f**k about any of the side characters.

The only positive thing I can say about that episode is Miranda’s boobs look fabulous.

Rant over.

Love this thread 🥰

Omg I thought the exact same! As cringy and creepy as Miranda and Che are I couldn't help thinking wow Mirandas tits don't half look good 🤣

It is crazy, but the reality is that most people agree with her. No sensible person thinks that a man can become a woman just by saying they 'feel' like one. The reason so many celeb types have come out against JKR (including the brats that owe their entire career to her) is because they're desperate to seem right-on and also terrified of the woke mafia coming after them. You only have to look at the literal rape and death threats JK and other gender critical people receive to see that the whole trans movement* is toxic, dangerous and woman-hating to its core.

*Which is not to say that every trans person is like this – most probably just want to live their lives with as little hassle as possible. It's the self-appointed 'leaders' of the movement that are the problem.

Sure, but it's also relevant to this thread given the Che/Miranda and Rose storylines.

There’s some relevance to discuss the topic obviously, but then there’s going on rants like that with not a single mention of the show lmao, starting a whole back and forth discussion around it— and I also don’t say that just so someone writes two paragraphs and then shoehorns in a reference to SATC at the end either.

I don’t mind criticizing the storylines around gender on the show, everyone is within their rights to do it, but I personally find many of the things said here in the last few pages quite offensive, but I don’t say anything about my own opinions because (1) I don’t want to derail the thread into one of THOSE fights, and (2) I’m not feeling like having a bunch of posters who always find these posts like there’s a bat signal in the sky to suddenly have a go at me when like I said, I’m not interested in going there. But at the same time, I stay out of threads like that for a reason and there’s like 3 different threads where you all can have that same circular discussion over and over so go for it! Idk why it has to happen here too because if someone were to argue back, I’m sure THAT would be derailing. Hmm.

Basically, it’s obvious when someone is discussing the show and it is more than obvious when they’re finding an excuse to go off about other issues with no reprisal. And please no one @ me either, like if you don’t agree then whatever.
 
Hi all - yep best to stick to the topic of either SATC or AJLT. Sure, there’s some legitimate reason to discuss gender issues in relation to the show/s, but it’s best to frame this with reference to either the characters and / or the storylines. Just to keep this particular thread working well for everyone who wants to read and post here.
