So Carrie was meant to travel to Paris to scatter Big’s ashes….are they still going to go with that do we think? Or just cut it out completely

He also appeared as the Prada bloke in the original SATC, do they not know any other actors? Seema's dad kissed Samantha when he was a waiter (10 years younger than her at the time, now he's a 54 year olds dad) suddenly this stud has gone from working in a shop as a prior character to owning a club in his new persona - mental show, whoever commissioned this must be mortified at the backlash it's receiving.


With her half-a-dozen weird accents!! Classic

Such good spots! I never notice this stuff
 
Che is just a dick. Refusing to say they’re dating but still hanging out , going out for dinner and sleeping with miranda qualifies as dating in my book! Che is a classic duck boy/person - just using this whole idea of non-standard relationships as an excuse to get what they want from Miranda without the commitment.

Onto Miranda, she was absolutely pathetic in that episode. What happened to the strong, opinionated, independent woman we all used to love? She’s a blathering idiot now.

I also hated Ches lecture on how standard relationships and their rituals are so bad.

1 - why has everyone got to knock one demographic down just to prove their point

2 - why does their relationship have to be different. Most relationships (regardless of sexuality) tend to have similar roles and habits.

Thinking about how this could have gone while still ‘updating’ the show, I wonder why they didn’t use the three women with their differences to explore three facets of womanhood…
(1) Love— Carrie finding new love and dating again in her 50s, maybe even re-thinking what she really had with Big, questioning what she wants from love and partnership as the woman she is now.
(2) Family— Charlotte running her household and raising daughters, really dive into motherhood and being a wife and the realities of that after she fantasized about it through the whole first series run, and finally is growing through it and trying to stay connected to herself as a woman
(3) Career— Miranda starts to question her life ambitions and just what she has contributed to the world as a lawyer, goes into human rights law and starts to tackle issues in her work, expands her social circle, etc. Conflict could come from perhaps feeling as though she ‘wants more’ in terms of giving to the world in 2020/2021 America, wonders what Steve really wants, even conflicts with friends and their values. This allows Miranda’s character to do the ‘we can still grow and change in our 50s and not settle’ thing while also addressing the shortcomings of the first series, while hopefully maintaining Miranda’s kind sarcastic ‘voice of reason’ that everyone loves. And it’s like they started with this idea but then didn’t really care about any of it, in favour of “It’s Che Diaz!” instead.
