Che was far more likeable in their down-on-their-luck phase and working at the veterinary clinic.

Sorry I’m still catching up. Why is Harry now an event organiser dealing with caterers? Isn’t he a lawyer?

I didn't like Che, it is because of how they brought out the worst in Miranda, the selfish naval gazing and general childish behaviour (weed smoking with children, the cameos in bed with their partner, not mentioning an ex-husband and just having them drop in etc etc) I could cope if the writers kept them in next season but acknowledged they were a trash person and then brought them back down to earth and having them build their career up again with some humility. Vet Che is more watchable because they haven't got the ego. Just have them start acting their age not an overgrown teenager in a late 40 year old's body. If they want to keep shoehorning the gender debate into it they could even have Che looking at why they rely on it so much as a crutch in their comedy and develop a routine (and personality) away from that

Also rewatching SATC. God, she never liked Aidan, did she? She cheated on him almost from the start and they had nothing in common! She got the ick from his sex noises and his eating chicken in bed. She didn't want to marry him. And he was weird and horrible about her smoking. I hate smoking too but I know it's an addiction and tough for a lot of people to give up. Aidan treated it like some kind of moral failing. There was no spark between them whatsoever. And he had a face like a ham.

Team Big every time!

I loved Big when he was a pri*k and the affair. Says alot of my relationship aspirations when I was in my 20s!

Unpopular opinion but I was totally on Big’s side on the first movie. He didn’t want the big fancy wedding full of strangers he’d never met, then when they split he didn’t move on, he even bought her that penthouse and built her a shoe wardrobe!

I think big would have never wanted to make a huge scene like they did, throwing the flowers in the road etc jilting her. He would have definitely just married her then frozen her out/cheated on her

Absafuckinglutely. But as much as I loved him I didnt buy into the happy ever after. Or it was always you. Too neat. I moved from a real life big to a more Harry type guy and the happier for it. (I know I know stop trying the satc analogies to where I am in life).

The fact Candace Bushnell didn’t end up with her Mr Big, and neither did Carrie in the book, made it feel out of character for both of them to have that ending. He should have disappeared after the affair.

I finally watched the finale! It was very meh wasnt it! Like it was nice, and Samantha was fabulous, but so many questions, so many things that didnt add up!

Respect your opinion,;) however I thought she was ridiculous as was her outfit, and I say this having liked Samantha in SATC. Nothing, not even Kim Cattrall can help that dire production, can't believe they are making a third season.

Oh it was utterly pointless and there was no need for her at all, but just her presence , the nostalgia! I didn't even notice her outfit lol!
In delighted they're making a third season, this thread is the best 👌

No one ends up with their Mr Big. I had a friend who was obsessed with the series back in the day, and also delusional about her FWB (I still hate that this cheap type of liaison got its own acronym and illusion of happiness), whom she thought she could eventually wear down into commitment, even after he told her to her face he was only interested in her for sex if there was no one better around. I don't know when she finally copped on, but she seems a lot happier now - still single, but with a PhD and thriving career. And a fabulous wardrobe.

Maybe they killed Big and brought Aiden back because they realised the Big story had been wound up badly and had nowhere else to go, and god love her what would Carrie even do with a bit of settling down?

Confession time.

My husband and I married at City Hall in NYC after I was inspired by the first SATC film!!

Though he's more of a Harry than a Big and we're v happy 10 years on....

I'm confused that they brought Patricia Field back for Samantha to wear such a tacky looking outfit. I mean, red and silver together? Wasn't cute.
