I could quote her all day. "You're a writer. You should be writing this down." I loved when she was totally bitchy.

"See? You have to be a couple just to order lunch in this town!"

"He's a hobbit!"

The "wading in my pool" line was definitely deep, especially coming after the hobbit line. ("Splat!" is a great episode for a lot of reasons, one of the best of season six.)

Charlotte was my girl. She was just so cute and conservative. And she had fine ass Trey McDougal. They would have been a perfect couple if not for them damn repro problems.


Lord, why you guys bring up this old shit


Okay Carrie is not so much dumb as typical. Women do stupid things when they are in love. Big was the catch, she loved everything about him. She had a whole slew of lovers and none of them, not even Aidan or Aleksander measured up. It was always gonna be BIG!!


My two fav episodes of Carrie and Big drama was one where Natasha and Big (John) show up to Aidan's wood show or whatever. That was the end of Big's marriage and the end of a good thing with Aidan. The other episode is in the last season where Carrie finally tells Big off before she leaves for Paris. Years of pent up frustration topped off with an "I don't live here anymore!". Classic.


Samantha was the best dressed from head to toe.

Loved Kristin in that ep. And the way Enid said it: "He's a hobBIT!"

Candace is definitely getting better with time.

DesireeNevermind said:

Like I said, at the time the Big relationship didn't seem so bad or dysfunctional over six years. But watching all of these eps back to back I think is amplifying the madness. And the reason I'm watching all of 'em is because some of the discs are defective and I need to tell Amazon which discs/eps are messing up.

But, regardless, I'm still thinking she's a typically, dumb broad.

SCNDLS said:

she's dumb because being a writer and NY cosmo girl about town she should have known Big's game from the jump. She let her guard down around him and it was easy for him to play her. And if you watch the episodes where they first met. Samantha wanted Big but he didn't want her. Now that would have been a match up for sure!


Samantha and Richard

DesireeNevermind said:

Exactly, how you been living and dating in Manhattan for 20 years but don't recognize the game a playa like Big is puttin' down??? And like I said, he never voluntarily did anything to make her feel like he wanted to really commit to her. She whined and pouted her way into him then bitched and complained when he didn't perform like a trained seal. Heffa please!

I thought Samantha and Richard were perfect together and her reason for breaking up with him never seemed plausible to me.

SCNDLS said:

Indeed. Samantha was the woman. Game peeped game and she just got tired of playing I suppose. They could have had an open relationship like they did in the beginning. Maybe James Remar wanted out, I dunno, his character was perfect for Kim's Samantha.


Back to Carries' dumb ass. She was too quick to fall in love too - with all those dudes. I always thought her and Miranda were a little unrealistic character wise. Miranda was a little too hard and a bit anti-male to ever be married with a kid and Carrie doesn't know a pimp/playa when she sees one. I think the male writers had a tad skewed image of female neurosis.


the movie however was a disappointment to me. I'm sorry but after 10 years you better not even dream of getting cold feet before the wedding. And how old is Charlotte? She got preggers a little late in the game I think. The best part of the film for me was the relationship between Miranda and Steve. She finally settled down into a believable character with believable problems.

Samantha was just paranoid cuz he wasn't cheating on her . . . yet. Can't believe she gave back that yellow diamond ring.

I don't agree about Miranda, I don't think she hated men at all, she just a cynical New Yorker.

I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I HATED the movie. The fashion was the best character. Even sweet Charlotte was annoying as hell, she was CONSTANTLY screaming in delight. I think she was 40 or 41 when she got pregnant.

Efan said:

Carrie: "I thought the article was about fashion at any age?"
Enid: "Fashion yes, bride no"

PaisleyPark5083 said:

that was cold blooded coming from her boss. I was thinking "bitch, a couple seasons ago you were pissed that Carrie got Aleksander and you didn't!" Enid was just bitter!

Harry: It makes me CRAZY when you say my name!
Charlotte: Well I'm DEFINITELY gonna stop saying it.

One of my favorite male characters on the show. He made a one time but very impressionable appearance.


Something RAIMI. Raimi was his last name, his first name escapes me. He was coined the male Samantha and he had a swing in his apartment.


His memorable quotes:



"You should try me, I really am that good."

"I can't fuck you or eat you the way I want unless you've had an Aids test."



Brilliant

DesireeNevermind said:

I remember that episode. It had one of the worst puns ever in a show that was infamous for its horrible puns: "Samantha had to decide how much she wanted to do Raimi." Barf.

Steve with a tampon stuck up his nose. Classic!

Efan said:

I have this episode in my DVR player, it's one of my go to episodes when I am bored. I LOVE the girl that falls out of the window..
"New York is over, OVER!"

I was so in love with Miranda's hot boyfriend, Blair Underwood?? when he came over to her house to watch TV and she is watching that dumbass soap opera, he looked so yummy!!!!

SCNDLS said:

Okay. I'm glad you are saying this because I really, really dislike this show; but I watch the reruns every night; my guy friend doesn't understand why I watch it if I dislike it. I tried to explain that I watch it so I can critique the stupidity of it, but he doesn't really get it.

My main problem with the show is that it's so cliche and perpetuates stereotypes: the blond is a slut, the less attractive red-head is a "man-hating" feminist, the brunette is the hopeless romantic and a bit rigid. Even the opening credits play into this. Did you notice how Kim Catrall's name shows up between all the numerous yellow taxis (e.g. cabs = men she has sex with), Kristen Davis is during the Brooklyn Bridge - structured with little squares, just like how Charlotte has to have everything just perfect. And Miranda (I forget the actress' name) is over the Chrysler Building, all sharp, and prickly, and phallic. And then Sarah Jessica Parker, the dumbass, gets splashed by the bus because she's not paying attention.

(Yes, I over analyze everything. But that should prove that I watch the show for critiquing not fun! )

And the puns are awful.

PaisleyPark5083 said:

That was such a good ep. Kristin Johnson was great with her chunky self.

PaisleyPark5083 said:

Blair was a perfect match for her, sorry but no way am I picking Steve over a hot doctor with courtside Knicks seats. The episode after they break up and he runs into her on the stairs and imitates her gettin' it was HILARIOUS!

jone70 said:

You know what, I love the show and for me the difference with the other 3 characters is that by the end of the show everyone of them did a 180 degree turn from the stereotypical character they started out as. Carrie stayed the exact same and didn't learn a gatdamn thing.

SCNDLS said:

I LOVE the pictures of New York in the snow in that episode.

Efan said:

The sleigh ride at the end was ridiculously gorgeous.

her shitty shitty luck classic scene indeed

SCNDLS said:

..in real life thats called getting screwed, tricked, or just plain manipuated....circustances beyond her control.

what if behind the scenes, big had a wife and kids somewhere and was just using her for sport..... ..i'm just saying.

PricelessHo said:

Oooooh ooooh . . . No one's EVER been this deep before!

The look on Steve's face when she told him THAT was indeed priceless.

I don't think Carrie was unlikeable... but she was a bit boring.

Aside from her column, shoes and dating, what were her aspirations?

She was just a voyeur most of the time.

GirlBrother said:

I think she was a good friend, she was always there for her "girls"
Well except that time she stood up Miranda at a bar for "Big" and his veal. But on the bright side, that is the day that Miranda met Steve.

PaisleyPark5083 said:

I dunno about always. She also deserted Charlotte when she was pretending to be blind in Barney's. When Char found her Carrie was trying on shoes.

..i have to be honest, i never was a huge fan of S.I.the C. Sarah's "stand by your man, even if he beats your ass" mentality was simply unbelieveable. I must admit tho, Kim katralls character gives me hope.
