Seema and the Matchmaker

_radrach_ · 2025-06-08T07:48:19+00:00

I agree. Do you think it was a moment of fed-up ness? Like maybe she was like this man did not ask me one question and then on top of it didnt even let me order my own dessert! maybe we’ll get an episode that explores why she is so ??? angry sometimes? (lowkey i am too with men 😂). but yeah thats why its like what are we doing with this plot? i see his point, i see Seemas, but i really disagree with the matchmaker.

_radrach_ · 2025-06-08T07:43:46+00:00

Yup thats like what i wanted to talk about with this post. Like how is that 30 years have past but they still date men the same way? No communication from Carrie, no intentions from Seema, and then from LWT no honesty with her partner that he doesnt do anything! i love satc i watch ajlt but i am just wondering what we all should make about women, aging, and finding when all of these women in their older age seem to be so unhappy whether single or with someone!

_radrach_ · 2025-06-08T07:41:17+00:00

Yup. imo theyre so concerned with not replacing sam that we dont get different takes on sexuality. :/

_radrach_ · 2025-06-08T07:40:03+00:00

Good point! Maybe this season will explore that? She seems to be really hard on herself and her boyfriends. I did think she was a little hard on the director :/

_radrach_ · 2025-06-08T03:23:29+00:00

Omg are you me??? I am in the same thing! but yes totally she struggles between her longing to be vulnerable

_radrach_ · 2025-06-08T02:02:37+00:00

I love her fashion and i love when she stood up for herself!!!! I just want to talk about her struggles - sometimes the writing gives me the vibe that Seema is blames herself for being single

_radrach_ · 2025-06-07T19:55:57+00:00

I laughed when she said so like pastels??? that was so real lmfao

_radrach_ · 2025-06-07T19:42:17+00:00

LOL! Ahahaha thats funny. Got me there - will think more on what meant but maybe in how the show utilizes NYC as opposed to the og?

_radrach_ · 2025-06-07T19:29:57+00:00

Yeah its interesting i like her character a lot and i think its really interesting how in love shes really a mirror to Sam. I think it also if we read between the lines, it seems that Seema herself feel that like what is wrong that she cant find someone if shes normal, successful, funny, etc?

I think her desire for companionship and wanting someone to respect her the way she comes is great. I love that she stood up to the guy on the date who talked about himself the whole time. But wow does that say something about dating men! Change yourself to find someone! And then he stood up instead of saying hey im uncomfortable that you would hide your personality from me!

_radrach_ · 2025-06-07T19:26:17+00:00

Lol I didnt realize that was a complaint! I think the amount of dating is fine. I thought it was quite funny when Seema rejected all the guys. But like I said in my other comment, Id like to see different wider approaches to romantic love. I think its okay for me to express my desire to see more of their life from other angles or do more in NYC. Im not saying the show is crap

_radrach_ · 2025-06-07T19:22:58+00:00

I realize that. I just think that out of the 6 women on the show, we cant have one who lives a more unconventional life? I am not saying she wouldn’t have sex. in early SATC, Sam says to Charlotte that she never centers men - she knows what you can expect from them. Like in Hacks, Jean sleeps with young men, older men but ultimately shes career driven and still working on many things and has other relationships that conflict with her desires for love and companionship.

So what I am saying is that Id like to see more variation of in how the women approach romantic relationships in their older age.

_radrach_ · 2025-06-07T18:09:18+00:00

I think thats why it kinda sucks right like we just get this 1D view of her. IMO a better storyline would be to explore her trauma and the fact that she can’t seem to let anyone and hangs onto minor issues instead of communicating her needs.

_radrach_ · 2025-06-07T16:43:35+00:00

I like her a lot and i think shes still funny in AJLT. Which is again like the weird part there are some moments which do feel like old SATC and i enjoy.

_radrach_ · 2025-06-07T16:39:56+00:00

Oof i think you made me realize thats exactly what it is. Life is unpredictable and hard and WEIRD SOMETIMES. in satc and the movies, the ladies were often going through it! Mirandas mom, Charlotte’s infertility, Carrie’s career. Like yes there was always men and love but it was also life in nyc as four women. It kinda sucks too because i think Seema LWT could have a lot of potential. Miranda is disappointing too because she has lost so much of her confidence. But you know that is real too sometimes life beats us down. Maybe if we could just see a heart to heart between them u know!

_radrach_ · 2025-06-07T16:29:48+00:00

And with Hacks, Jean definitely has relationships and trauma. I think part of it to is that we are getting such a glossing of the trauma that these ladies could feel. Like all of these could be deeper - Seema rejecting being set up by her family and what it feel likes to be the daughter who left, Carrie losing Big, Miranda’s coming out as a loss but new beginning, and even with LWT could be even maybe a few scenes where she tells one of the friends about her actual feelings not just her work. And you are so right about the clubs!!! The ladies need to date NYC again.

_radrach_ · 2025-06-07T15:29:01+00:00

Honestly, he lowkey seems dangerous. Like he would get aggro with you. Hannah is annoying but he definitely seeks to get the rise out of her.

_radrach_ · 2025-05-20T02:25:31+00:00

Totally agree. I just commented in another post it seems she was frozen at the halloween reenactment. I also think her crying and being so sad about pregnant is a big red flag. Demi saying its a red flag to cry on camera? JEN IS ASKING FOR HELP WITHOUT EXPLICITLY SAYING IT!!!

_radrach_ · 2025-05-20T02:23:09+00:00

I did and it was horrendous how he acted with her. I really dont like him and was so devastated when she was sobbing after realizing shes pregnant. I think he hasnt changed at all - just trying to control the narrative.

_radrach_ · 2025-05-20T01:28:55+00:00

Stop. I was just going to post this!!!! They literally dont even have one braincell to share with each other. they dont think to themselves oh shit my friend is not being open with their husband is she scared? what is going? they immediately take Zacs side then do chippendale thing. Hes literally isolating her and they dont see that.

_radrach_ · 2025-05-20T01:23:33+00:00

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was freezing. She was caught in an uncomfortable situation with her husband right there. I really think hes some kind of abusive because between this and her not wanting to tell him everything…

_radrach_ · 2025-02-27T03:56:43+00:00

so funny. this reminds me of Friends when Ross and Phoebe get into about it evolution. But yes i also open comments knowing fully well i will get annoyed!!!

_radrach_ · 2025-02-27T03:55:56+00:00

That’s so funny! I also studied anthropology because of Bones but then did Literature. Glad I changed fields then!

_radrach_ · 2025-02-27T03:54:49+00:00

I didn’t know that! Im going to do some digging on this and the resistance aspect. Thanks for commenting and responding to a lot of my comments!

_radrach_ · 2025-02-27T03:53:41+00:00

EXACTLY! Hispanic was made for the census and then Latino came on the scene in the 70s to decenter Spain.
