New Sex & The City....***spoilers***

Same. I only figured it out because Miranda mentioned it had been three months since she sent her message to Che.
This episode was better to me, except I'm still not loving the Miranda storyline. The new friends are seeming to fit in more naturally now - I wish it could've been that way from the start.

Did anyone watch the preview for next week?

I hate that they are making the characters so old. I am older than all of them. Steve is like an 80 year old. At least Miranda is still interested in sex. Both Harry and Steve are not like real characters to me. I don’t know what the purpose of the tennis was for. I was also confused by how much time had elapsed.

I agree that Anthony’s humor is saving the show. He also doesn’t act ancient.

Carrie’s white dress at the auction was amazing! I also want her purple jacket from the scene with her publisher.

I’m still watching and will continue to watch for however long it’s on.

But SATC is my top show to rewatch. I’ve watched each episode dozens of times. On my next rewatch I won’t be including this series (or the movies)-it’s just not at the same level.

Having said that, the previews for episode 8 look really good. Seems very reminiscent of the original show.

I think this came out at the picnic table scene? At least that charlotte was aware (Carrie was there and peed the bed when it happened}. I wonder if they are doubting her identity? They seem more bothered by that than. air and a betraying Steve

Yes, but now it's ongoing not just a one-off.

So what did we think of this recent episode?

I have to admit that I was totally triggered when Miranda told Steve she wanted a divorce because she wasn't happy. Same thing happened to me and it brought it all back. I don't think she and Che will last so it will be interesting to see how that plays out.

Charlotte handled things the way that I thought she would. I didn't expect her to admit that she still blows Harry to her daughter. It seemed very Charlotte to say she was looking for cancer rather than admit sex.

I'm only part way through this week's podcast, so I might have to come back to this thread later with more comments.  lot of the storylines are based on things that have really happened to the writers. 

For example, the hideous outfit that Carrie wears when she walks around the block is based on a photo that was taken of Rachna Fruchbom (who wrote this week's episode) when she was out in the lot having a cigarette. And when they filmed that episode there were members of the public watching the filming, and all of a sudden there were a whole lot of people dressed as smoking-Carrie for Halloween, wearing babushkas and dishwashing gloves! 

They also spoke about how they had to get the Versace gown out of storage in Milan for this episode. Apparently when they used this gown in SATC, it was sent to them by Versace, and one of the costume people on the show called Michal Patrick King in to show him. But he didn't want to use it at first, because Carrie wouldn't have had enough room in her luggage to take it to Paris. But they decided it was such a fabulous outfit, they had to include it. 

I find that I look forward to the podcast each week almost as much as I look forward to the actual show!


Regarding Steve and Miranda...... Even though Steve has turned into a boring old man who wants nothing more than to sit on the couch every night, I did feel quite heartbroken for him. What was the comment he made? Something along the lines of him always being there for her whenever she changes her mind about him, leaves him, then comes back to him. But he can't do that any more. I see Steve as being like Aidan - both really decent guys who deserved better than Carrie and Miranda. 

And I think the writers are setting up Miranda for heartbreak. I wouldn't be surprised it she finds Che with another lover when she surprises them in Cleveland. 

Oh yes, big time.
When Che said, "I can't give you anything traditional." I think Miranda took that to mean a lesbian relationship, but Che is meaning an open relationship, not bound to a certain gender.

I loved that we got to see Carrie's gown again. I read an article which said the dress was valued at $80K! How on earth did she ever afford it??

Holy cow. This week’s episode was painful to watch - Charlotte is such a cartoon. Overstating and over acting with the whole period/tampon story. However the sneak peek for next week’s finale looks good.

Just finished the last episode and overall I think they did pretty well. I liked it and would watch another season I just hope it (not sure how to phrase this) settles? and they stop trying so hard to be woke.





A question about the filming - there were at least a couple of broader shots of the streets of New York and no one in the background in a mask. So can they shut down a whole block or 2 to film using extras with no masks? NY residents are used to filming disruption and don't mind a detour? Just curious/no experience with this sort of thing!!

Edited to put in a spoiler

ITA. I loved that they sort of wrapped that up on a positive note.
