Do we think they realise Carrie is a bleep? Is it intentional that she’s been written like that?

I doubt it because Sarah Jessica Parker and Michael Patrick King wouldn’t want that. I think she’s meant to be this relatable girl who just keeps picking bad men because she’s in love with them, we are meant to overlook what a horrible person she is. Carrie is very much a “I’m not complete unless I have a man” And she actually doesn’t need a man to show that side of herself off. We see it in how she treats her friends and others around her,
The scene where she expects her friends to take tampon out? How about when Miranda needs her (is it after a surgery or something and Miranda is on the floor naked and can’t get up and Carrie sends Aidan over to her knowing that she needs help. When she expects Charlotte to lend her money and then rages when she doesn’t ask?
 
That always pissed me off. And it’s the fact that she is brazen enough to tell her. I mean lying about it would suck but she was just to casual: “I’m just having veal with Big” Carrie has the audacity to then get annoyed because Miranda is pissed about being stood up! I wonder why?
That scene makes me cringe. "Could you put Miranda on, please?" She's being proper cunty to Miranda. When she should be apologising for standing her up when she got a call from Big, or better yet, telling Big to make her dinner another night as she already has plans.

I’ve always hated that scene too, what kind of friend would just leave their best friend standing in a bar waiting for them and not even let them know they weren’t turning up??
Then have a go at them for being upset! Awful behaviour!
 
She also stood up for Miranda to Samantha when she first had Brady, when Samantha was basically looking to ditch her now Miranda had become a mum.

Ah but Samantha was the one to offer her hair appointment to Miranda and take care of Brady (rocking him to sleep with a vibrator but that is a conversation for another time :oops:)

Carrie was performative in her friendships, but the others actually put action behind their words, money from Charlotte, Samantha retrieving things from various Carrie orifices, helping cancel her wedding, rebooking the honeymoon to Mexico and getting her apartment back for her, Miranda advising her legally over the apartment. Carrie would stand and say something but never inconvenience herself (her insisting Miranda attends that dinner party with Che there, also not walking out of that comedy club as Che shredded Miranda)

Makes you wonder how SJP treats her real friends - if she has any. Who’d want Carrie as a friend?

SJP comes across a bit princessy. She has a holiday home in Ireland, in the wilds of co. Donegal, where her husband's people came from, but they keep to themselves and no one notices them much (except for the local wool and tweed producers when she wore one of their coats in NY). The low profile here might have something to do with her husband killing a woman and her mother in a car accident in the neighbouring county in the 1980s - he was very much at fault and the family are still bitter that he got off lightly.
 
Yep. She was injured, and absolutely devastated about the poor women. Broderick, not so much, and doing Superbowl ads for cars was really tacky of him.

.
He was driving on the wrong side of the road and hit them head on, but as no alcohol or drugs were involved (apparently) he got off lightly. Quite disgusting.

Can't find it now, but I read an article that said it was lashing rain and they got lost on backroads. When they asked for directions they were advised to go back and take a safer route given the weather, but Matthew decided to plough on ahead, on the wrong side of the road.
 
I’ve only just realised that Nya (the actress obvs) was in Yellowstone, which is up there with SATC for TV greatness for me. Well series 1-3 are which is maybe why I had forgotten she was in. 😆

Yep, got advice from an off-duty police officer to turn back, he ignored the advice and continued on his way.


On August 5th, they made their way driving from Irvinestown to Maguiresbridge. During the trip, they found themselves lost on a number of occasions. They made their first stop at a gas station to ask for directions when it began to rain. After waiting for the rain to pass, they headed back onto the road. While driving, the rain picked back up and they stopped at another gas station to wait it out again. Eventually, the couple became lost again and they made another stop just outside of Enniskillen. Here, they asked an off-duty police officer for directions. When the officer heard of their plans, he supposedly told them that the route they wanted to take was “just stupid” Unfortunately, Broderick had no intention of changing his route, and he took off once again driving in the same direction. The officer followed their car for a few miles and noted that Broderick was not going fast. He estimated that he was driving at approximately 40 miles per hour. However, Broderick swerved into the opposite lane and crashed the car with an oncoming vehicle. The passengers of the oncoming vehicle were mother Margaret Doherty, a 63-year-old woman with multiple sclerosis who was confined to a wheelchair, and Anna Gallagher, her 28-year-old daughter who would often pick her mother up to take her shopping. Broderick pleaded guilty and was charged with reckless driving. An offense like this can come with a prison sentence up to 10 years in fact – five years issued for each death caused by the crash. Instead, Broderick got off pretty easy. In order to return to the US, he had to pay $4,075 in bail and was ordered to pay a $175 fine. Despite two lives having been lost in the crash, Broderick was not charged with vehicular manslaughter. The family and friends of Margaret and Anna were upset by the court verdict and called the ruling “a travesty of justice.”
