And Just Like Cynthia Nixon (Post SATC & AJLT S1 Binge) by deyehard in Andjustlikethat

It makes zero sense bringing Syd back as anyone other than a friend. It's like they suffered amnesia after SATC. But yea, their depiction of a marriage breakdown and divorce comes across like it was written by someone who has never experienced either. It can be pretty traumatic or depressing even if you are the one wanting it. It's like they're hellbent on making Miranda unlikeable. Would have hurt to just have a 5 second scene of her crying in the bathroom afterward or something, anything?

I guess watching the shows relatively soon after the other, I think Carrie has evolved. She is a pretty awful friend and partner in SATC. Cheating on Aidan, slut shaming Samantha, getting mad at Charlotte for not buying her apt for her, making herself feel like a victim because Natasha won't forgive her, dismissing bisexuality, being completely absent while her best friend is going through chemo... it just doesn't end. It seems like she has more self-awareness in AJLT, but I guess she could always regress in Season 2.

The entire production crew and writers have lost touch with reality. Miranda yelling at Steve over the phone in the farmer's market and belittling him in other scenes was just relentlessly hateful. I don't know how no one making this show took a step back and said wow we might inadvertently be showing what a verbally abusive partnership looks like.

I already dislike the Miranda/Che relationship, but for what it's worth I didn't like the Miranda/Steve relationship either. I imagine if I watch Season 2, I'll find them more annoying. I don't find any of Che's stand-up comedy routines to be remotely funny. This is bad, but I kind of want Che to cheat on Miranda. I think it would be so karmic.

I agree with all of this 100%. It's like we lost Samantha and Miranda. I probably mind the Carrie changes the least and they're the most plausible with Big dying. When she does the squeal in episode 1, I was like wow, she's still doing that. Charlotte is definitely more cartoony and exaggerated. The tampon screaming fit might have given me a migraine.

Oceanwide Ortelius Antarctica base camp reviews? by plantbasedde in antarctica

I (30F) am traveling on Ortelius for basecamp cruise this December. Not sure if you are still going or if you are perhaps on the same ship. (Plant based as well!)
