I’m confused now. Was the original plan for Chris Noth to live and not be written out?
No, Big was always going to die in the first episode. That was always the arc of the story. But after he died, there were scenes shot with Chris Noth as Big - we assume either as flashbacks to earlier points in their lives or maybe as Carrie “seeing” him as a ghost or whatever. He was supposed to be a character within the show even after he had died. But then all the allegations against Noth came to light and they made the decision to cut out all of Big’s scenes from the show and it would appear they also got rid of any mention of his name. That’s why the show seems very messy and disjointed- because they’ve essentially just deleted scenes and therefore taken out parts of the story and script.
 
So they didn’t actually film the Paris scenes in Paris?!
The documentary showed them filming in Paris. I think the part that was cut was a cafe scene, followed by her walking alongside big, chatting on the bridge in her floral dress (not the awful orange one). And we only know about that scene because of pictures from news articles before the scandal hit.

Do you not think it was spoilt by having too much going on which ultimately didnt build upon anything and made it more like nothing was going on?

I feel like they had a brainstorming session and just went with EVERY idea instead of narrowing it down to maybe 1 main story and a couple of smaller ones.

I get that satc is problematic in terms of diversity and the world is a very different place but trying to play catch up over 9 episodes is a ridiculous task to set yourself. As someone said earlier in the thread theyve made the lily story problematic by making an asian adopted child into the perfect studious stereotype when in the US these kinds of adoptions are riddled with issues which coulc have been addressed.

I cant help but think cynthia nixon forced her agenda to cover sexuality and gender issues whilst forgetting other very important issues going on!

LTW and Nya seemed like such great characters and fizzled out. Which I felt like was a real opportunity to show issues in a relationship especially when nyas husband was getting jealous of LTWs relationship with the children
 
I don’t think we should pin too many hopes on the deleted scenes saving it as a series. It may have solved a few mysteries with Carrie but I doubt Big would have had anything to do with poor Shteve being shafted, Brady’s sex life, the boring professor trying for a baby storyline, Harry missing his colonoscopy, a random inappropriate holocaust joke, Che bleeping Diaz existing etc etc etc!
 
Che is hot but the clothes they wear are 100% not. The shorts and boots are very punk rock dad.
They're also a bad stand up comedian which is enough to turn you off.
Seema was hot in the finale though! She had sizzling chemistry with the bloke, whoever he was.

I don't have any substantive points to add having just watched the final. Anthony was funny. Charlotte and Harry were fine. Carrie didn't have a plot really. I suppose the ashes storyline was fine and the texts with Samantha were nice but the kiss at the end came out of nowhere. Standard for this season.

And of course Miranda was tedious and frustrating to watch. The best scene between her and Carrie at the they/bat mitzvah was spoilt by the rabbi's weird pep talk
 
I miss Stanford. Besides Samantha, he was the best person in the series.

I feel the black professor would have been a better love interest than Che. duck Che. Urgh.
