A mistake?!! A MISTAKE?!!
Mothership85 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Oh come on! How dare you insult us rabid viewers of SATC by saying that BIG was a mistake?! Big loved Carrie and Carrie loved Big. They lived happily for 20 years and now you bring back Aiden and Carrie all of a sudden starts behaving like Miranda - a love struck puppy dog who can't get out of bed because apparently when you're nearing 60, there's nothing else to do but have sex - every day! The writers are obviously in their 20's-30's. So dumb and annoying. And by the way - where is Steve? You know, Aiden's best buddy? The girls have lunch with Aiden but not Steve. I was waiting for him to come through the door of the restaurant but no, we just have Seema because you know, girl power and all that.

Now what's the go with Carrie's horrible oversized, ill-fitting coats? Does no-one own a pair of jeans or tee-shirt?

Time for a new fashion collaborator.

Charlotte wondering and worrying about her tiny protruding belly and blaming menopause - gosh what a dilemma. Yes, we've all been there but usually just find something else to wear or start exercising or whatever. Cannot the writers come up with some actual serious, mind blowing, dramatic events?

I cannot wait for next weeks episode where Carrie (not remotely dressed for the country) meets the teenagers and the farmhouse and gets thrown back into reality.

One of the best episodes of And Just like That
fede448810 August 2023
This is one of the best episodes of And Just like That and anyone still hating will never accept this revival, no matter what. All the storylines were good. Even Charlotte, who usually gets the fluff material was relatable in this episode.

Regarding the controversial comment Carrie made, fans who never liked Carrie and Big exist (they were toxic af together and it was tiring how they keep breaking up and making up) and we don't care about the "mistake" comment. In fact, we agree!

Synopsis: Carrie asks Che to be her moral support at a conference for widows. Miranda broaches an uncomfortable conversation with Steve.

Two Highpoints of this Episode
whoneedsascreenname24 September 2023
Charlotte and Anthony are the stars in this episode, both placed in unlikely scenarios we don't usually see on any kind of TV series, network or streaming

Charlotte (Kristen Davis) unhappy with her midlife body, and not quite fitting in to a new dress she wants to wear for her first day of work at her new gallery job, was really well done. And then to her surprise, learning that the new (younger) generation no longer thinks about weight the way society did in the '70s-90s, seemed to sum up the topic perfectly

Anthony (Mario Cantone) panicking as he falls for Guiseppe (Sebastiano Pigazzi) was equally moving, another rare real moment in this wildly uneven reboot. Mario Cantone can really act and though we love his wisecracks, it's satisfying when he drops the act and let's the real Anthony come through

Though most viewers have been focused on Carrie's big reveal in her question to Miranda, this episode is worth tuning in for these very sweet b-storylines. Really well done.

Many pros and cons
nmottel3 August 2023
As the series progresses I continue to find pros and cons for each episode. Some pros from A Hundred Years Ago: The continuation of Aiden, Charlotte returning to gallery work, less Che, Sima's honesty for not wanting to hang out with Carrie and Aiden, Charlotte's struggle with her menopausal body, happy conversations around a restaurant table, NYC once again being an important character of the show. Cons: Carrie's ridiculous coats. (Hello stylists...I'll bet they make those designer coats in SJP's actual size), Mirand's contiued simpering, Harry as oblivious husband/father, lack of Steve, Charlotte's overall dingbat personality, and Carrie's questioning of whether she made a BIG mistake with her marriage.

really?

.. and just like that the show back to being Boring, empty and very shallow after few " not really bad " episodes.

Carrie wondering if big was a mistake is so unreasonable and cruel. Come on!!! You lived with the man for 20 years in happiness. You called him the love of your life. You wrote books about him and now he is a mistake cuz he DIED?

And wtf with Charlotte regains her confidence when she saw a big woman loving herself and working with high self steam? Is it her first time to see that? Is she that ignorant? What year is this??

How old she is?

And what can I say about Miranda?!

She was my fav character in the show. She was strong, confident, smart and funny. Now she just lost, weak and not sure of everything .. what are you trying to say to us? That getting old takes away all your good quality?

And I really miss Lisa! Give her more scenes she can save the show.

Ok, now Aiden was the one??
MidoriAi8 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Ok, now Aiden was the one??

I thought the encounter with Aiden wasn't going to be true. Didn't saw any news on the web about it, so I had space in my head to the imagination. But once he was there, there was the good old Carrie B: imagining things, like Aiden was the one all along.

Yeah, it turns out maybe she was wrong to be with Big. I think Carrie got carried away with all the lies and idealization.

I'm like a kite, my love ones have to shoot me down to reality because I would fly away.. but Carrie??? Oh she wins by so far!

She's almost 60 years old and we see her non the wiser, nothing learned through the years, with the arrogante narcissistic mind of her youth.

That's both good and bad: Good because it is good old SATC, despite her awful insecurities and personality.

Bad because she is not wise... and not even Aidan, because "he can't enter Carrie's house" because "he can't go through all that again" Come on!!! You got married, 2 children, divorce, and 20 years in between your broken heart and all that.

Maybe they are meant for each other.

Another good thing is Charlotte returning to work. Her concerns regarding her "fat" belly are ridiculous. She's rich. Every rich woman would do a treatment to fix that. I know I would. Another cheap drama so we can see how older women struggle with that extra weight after menopause. I know it happens even before that.

What's happening with Miranda and her job? Another cheap drama. Everybody would understand that an older woman with 30 years of experience could be better than you, so why b*tch about it?? Well I guess it is the natural way a woman likes to interact with another woman, and that IS a point in the right direction because god knows how women treated me since primary school. They don't wait to alienate another women.

But why an internship?? Why not returning to her old job?

I thought when Miranda and Che broke up Che's character will be erased, well I guess not. And it is ridiculous in this day and age that her (yes, her) podcast was swiped because they don't have anyone who pay for it. We know it is not necessary in this day and age.. but no in AJLT, she ends up working in a veterinary? Like she never had so many fans following her, ever.

You spoiled a wonderful series. In the old seasons there is a thread of meaning, she is intertwined through all the heroes and looks at one breath and with a deep meaning. New seasons ... (The first season is a full bottom!) The second is a little better, it has become much less to nausea. New characters ... Why are they needed in such quantities .. they are not disclosed and not interesting, I began to rewind their "stories". One minute of Samantha and Memory about Anthony is the best that you could do. And Kerry still thought that he made a mistake with big? (How could you invest such in her head at all!) All 6 seasons he was thereby! And after a couple of bright orgasms, she challed everything to cross ... This disrespect, insult, stupidity. Where is the wisdom of this woman? 5 years to wait ... Hahahahah Aidan only came to "hold a rapid night" it is not needed in real life, like a wife, girlfriend and companion. What to change in 5 years! Stupidity! Fakey tears Eidana are funny! Fu! You have enough to have enough mind not to shoot 3 season!
