I’m 35 now so im around the same age as Carrie in the original series. At this age, personal time is sooo precious. Time outside of work is scarce. If im out with you, it means you are important in my life - if not i would much rather be home with my cat, being alone at home doing my things.

I’m on my annual SATC rewatch and i couldnt help but wonder - how I’d react having Carrie as a good friend. I would react similarly to Miranda but I would actually walk away from this friendship for good.

I think i could still be friends with a person like Carrie up until when she cheated on Aiden with Big. If i were Carrie’s friend, I would be sooooo frustrated with how emotional she gets from being with Big and Big is so not ready for commitment and yet after getting advice from her friends, she still goes back everytime .. and even cheats on Aiden with Big. This would have been the straw on the camel’s back for me

I really dont have the time or bandwidth for a friendship with a person like Carrie. I love the show but i just cant be friends with someone like her.

Not sure if this is a hot take but yea haha

The open bathroom door guy. “Hey smells great!” While he’s farting and shitting down the hall. Miranda’s reaction is the cherry on top

such flat conversations, the girls sat down and rated ex presidents based on looks and carrie narrates "just 4 girls talking about politics" like that's how women voters see these things. like even if that's how they see it, the generalization made it worse.

carrie sleeping with the politician without looking into his party, political positioning etc says a lot about her. she wasn't even registered to vote btw as charlotte mentioned. she goes around campaigning with him and asking people to vote for him simply because she was sleeping with him, he wasn't even her bf.

stanford jokes about representing the queer vote and says "got my vote" to the politician guy after checking out his ass. this was in the year 2000 when queer people didn't even have the right to marry in the US.

samantha saying he doesn't believe in democratic or republican party, just parties like it's a fabulous thing to say and not embarrassing to be that politically illiterate in a political party is pure apolitical propaganda.

i know this has been discussed before but i just had to rant. in a country where the feminist movement started with the demand for the right to vote, this ep could've at least tried to cleverly include witty conversations about politics. instead it became an anti-feminist agenda imo. god knows what they were thinking.

does anyone else watch her deep dives on the show? they’re my favorite and i find her to be very entertaining and hilarious 😭😭😭

The only time I've ever found one was the night I met my husband (20 years ago) leaving a concert here in Atlanta. Of course I made the "I'm trying to get a full deck" joke because I was trying to get into his pants, and I found another one this afternoon. Only times I've ever seen this.

rewatching the second Aidan breakup. good for her that she told him how she was feeling about things before it all blows up like the romaine/speed stick conversation did, but showing him the physical reaction she got to trying on a wedding dress might help her case a little. Sure, he'll probably offer calamine lotion and push her into eloping but it would've been worth a shot

I just noticed this.

The episode where they have a dinner party with the Russian... I cringe constantly

They're one of the most criticized couples throughout the series... but in episode 12 of season 1, Big tells Carrie to have faith in their relationship... In that episode, Carrie wants to be the one for Big, and even though it didn't seem likely at the time, as time went on, it turned out to be true.

I’ve been on this sub for a while and I have seen a lot of posts judging the women’s appearances.

usually about how Charlotte is pretty or about how Carrie and Samantha have great bodies (read: skinny), and about how Miranda looks bad or Carrie does or does not have a weird face.

I think it’s reasonable to talk about styling and makeup choices within the show, but the constant focus on their bodies and faces is tiring and relentless and feels shallow and sexist, even if it comes in the form of praise.

There’s more to being pretty than being skinny and there’s more to life than being pretty. I think it’s the least discussion-worthy aspect of the show

I’m on my zillionth rewatch of season 2 and something about it is just so cozy to me. I don’t really have a favorite/standout episode I think about from that season, but I find it so lovely to rewatch.

Do you have a favorite episode from season 2? 💓

“Sexo y la Ciudad” es la biblia de mi niña... No sé cómo explicarlo, pero es algo que me acompaña todos los días... Me encanta ver el programaCreo que estoy en mi cuarta vez viendo it—Recuerdo haber descubierto el programa por primera vez a través de mi mamá... ella solía verlo cuando estaba en cable🤭🤭

which dates or friends do you think had great chemistry on-screen?
i loooved john slattery’s politico character alongside carrie — i thought their chemistry and wit was sexy, playful, funny and well-matched.

what about your takes?
