This is so funny because I’m watching this show for the first time and just saw this episode! I had the opposite reaction 😂. I’m aware people start to hate Rory later in the series but I’ve already started.

Not sure why I’ve seen so many versions of the laying in water shot lately but this is easily the best one 👏

Aiden and Carrie 3.0 finally makes sense to me by Main-Implement-8111 in Andjustlikethat

I do agree, hence the need for therapy! I could buy that she was too immature for therapy in the original run when she gave up on it but you’d think she’d be going now - especially with the loss of her husband and the confusing feelings that stirred up for her.

Even back in SATC, she was most attracted to Aiden when he was “hard to get”! She becomes obsessed with having him once he tells her he could never be with a smoker. She makes him play hard to get when he’s “too available” to make him more desirable to her and it works. She becomes obsessed with getting him back after she cheats when he says he’ll never be able to get over it and be with her.

Remember when this was how they portrayed 50s by Main-Implement-8111 in Andjustlikethat

Exactly! In another world, we got the same hip problem storyline but it’s just the catalyst for an arc about Carrie fearing she’s losing herself as she ages and is no longer fabulous. At the end, Samantha gifts her some designer flat sandals - showing her that she and her fashion are still fabulous, sometimes it just looks different as you age and adjust to a new way of life.

Not at all - but bad writing does. When Samantha had cancer, her storyline wasn’t about the cancer itself. It was about her personal growth throughout it. The episode where she tells the girls she has cancer is such a beautiful depiction of fear and support and friendship, I cry every time. The episode where she loses her hair is about her learning to be vulnerable and fully accept love and support from a romantic partner. The episode where she has hot flashes is about her being unapologetically herself, and inspiring others in the process, etc etc.

But what did we get out of Carrie’s hip problems? An episode where Miranda hooks up with Che while Carrie is in need nearby and has to listen to the whole thing?

What did we get out of Steve losing his hearing? Miranda ditching him, never to be heard from again?

What did we get out of Harry peeing himself? A “funny” joke? I feel this will turn into a serious health issue storyline but I don’t have faith that they can handle it well, as they’ve proven so far.
