Ok, I know you’ve all been waiting so here’s my controversial statement

[ahem]

I think Carrie’s new love interest will be the key to whether there’s another series or not.

hear me out…

he seems like a cool guy, they could have “a thing” then Aidan turns up, throws a spanner in the works and they could spin it across 8-12 episodes.

especially if Aidan turned up on the arm of Seema for instance

They need more Anthony

and the writers and directors including Cynthia Nixon herself need to sort Miranda the duck out.

have Miranda and Steve split - amicably - because she’s gay (not bi, not queer, gay) ergo giving no future to their marriage but allowing it to have a “soft landing”. She then goes on a journey of discovery… and maybe gets a bit of her old life back by going into Family Law, say?

Che will be her agent of change instead of chief finger-bang administrator. And will have a more developed and rounded character in S2.

Seema & Anthony can fill the void of Samantha - I don’t think it’s a given that if this were to get a second season Kim Cattrall would need to come back

we need more “Carrie is set X assignment by her publisher” and we need less podcast and she’s back on the New York writing scene - maybe for their equivalent of You Magazine or something.

The airtime vacated by getting shot of the University lecturer and her boring IVF storyline will make space for more Charlotte, Harry, LTW and what the writers seem to be inferring is her “too good to be true” marriage, plus Miranda’s journey of discovery and divorce.

finally, the writers need to remember that SJP/Carrie is the main focus of the series and write about HER more and her life post-Big… but conveniently hardly mentioning him, considering the tit that’s flying about atm.

last two tips:
1. Lose the crappy CGI, I found that more offensive in Ep7 than the vomit
2. Please get the Carrie narration back

and here ends the lecture

yes I do take AMEX.
 
Agog at Carrie falling out of that restaurant and throwing up in the kerb. Who gets that drunk at a restaurant on a first internet date??
Nobody! The writing is so lazy and awful. The writers dodge the difficult part of having to actually create dialogue for a meaningful date scene and instead use the puking to indicate…. what, exactly? How hilarious it is that two bereaved golden oldies can get wrecked together? That they couldn’t get through a date without drinking themselves into oblivion? That there’s life in the old dog yet?? There’s no clear point of view whatsoever.
 
steve can’t finger her like Che can and therefore as a heterosexual white man he deserves to be left.
I'm quite angry at the way he's been treated over his hearing problems, he can't bleeping help it he's hard of hearing and yet they're treating it like a joke and a character flaw. The deaf community are surely pissed off with the insensitive handling of this storyline? I would be.

I’m also upset about this. Losing your hearing can be a devastating, scary, and really isolating thing to happen to anyone, you need support, help and understanding from those around you. What you don’t need is people being embarrassed and impatient about your new found disability. Considering Cynthia Nixon thinks she so bleeping right-on why is she so happy for the character of Miranda to use Steve’s deteriorating health to mock and cheat on him? It’s bleeping horrible.

She’s only right-on about ‘queer’ issues. Disability is still fair game it would seem.
 
miranda questioning Charlotte as to if she still ‘blows’ Harry- explains why her sex life is dead and she has to turn to Che 🙄
Yes, oral sex is forbidden over the age of 32. Strictly fingering only as an acceptable form of foreplay

Yes, this exactly. How can think Miranda's need for exciting sex trumps Steve's need for a kind and supportive wife. She acts like he went deaf just to annoy her, and I have a strong feeling that AJLT won't correct this either. Bastards

Exactly ! I’m 55 and my hearing isn’t great due to damage at loud gigs back in the day . I wear hearing aids when I need to . They are totally invisible. No need to make it such an issue
 
I think the writers thought ~Che was going to serve this presence that would do it for the lesbians and straight women like Shane from The L Word… but alas… the story is not giving what it is meant to give.

1000000% this. I completely get the Katherine Moennig/Shane vibe!! There is defo something about that women. Che is no where near that level sexual energy/magnetism.
 
I totally thought they’d got food poisoning at the restaurant before they clarified about the drinking. I just thought maybe Steve had cooked the meal 🤷🏻‍♀️

I HATE what they are doing to the characters in this. We know these people. We can see which choices they’d make, even if we totally disagree with what they choose. None of them are acting the way that we expect and it’s very jarring.
the problem is without seeing any of the date it is just pointless, it would have been fun to see an awful date
