That’s how they got rid of Alexsander so that tracks.

It tracks in the sense that they have no new ideas or original thoughts.

That was exactly my point! 🎯

While there are many things about SATC that don't hold up very well (you could argue that they were off-putting from the start), that show is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better. They really need to put AJLT out of our misery.

The thing is, it's SO MUCH better than the absolutely horrific first season of AJLT. And yet it's so, so bad.

A podcast I listen to blames the writer's room for not having anyone in their actual 50s/60s writing for the show. If these women were in their 40s, ok maybe some of their nonsense might make some sense but it just does not hang together.

Also, these are amazingly wealthy women who try to pretend they are not (when the inane story calls for it) except for sometimes, when they do want us to know they go to private events at Tiffany's. A writer's room where the writers are also coming to terms with the latter part of their careers, or thinknig about legacy, or the next chapter of their lives (and no, Miranda's career storyline is so stupid I can't even remember most of it) could have humor and heart. I can maybe buy that Seema has to pull back a little but her whole idiocy of saving money on salons and nonsense - it's so unrealistic. give us a full picture of her life, not just I can't have a driver and now have eye infections. Or have the cheaper lash guy be abolsutely fabulous and she elevates them. Just come on. Show her as downfall in her 60s due to be too trusting in a male dominated industry (and then fighting back) or show her as a smart accomlished career woman who takes advantage of her new circumstances. Just don't try to mealy mouth stupidity through both scenarios simultaneously.

Which podcast is this? I love Sex & the Cidiots for this.

Surely SJP must be aware by now that nobody likes this trainwreck?

Why does Kristin Davis have a lisp- I assume it relates to botox or other plastic surgery that she’s had?

Good lord, I'm so happy they didn't drag it out any longer. I was afraid they were going to wait until the season finale!
But what was in his damn bags?!

I assumed he was planning to mostly move in. Except that he loves Virginia and his life is there. Even if Wyatt isn't living with him, he'd need to be available. That's what started the arrangement debacle in the first place. They never really properly discussed any of this. Even without the blowup, the incompatible lifestyle preferences never would have worked. If anything, they are more different than where they started. And not in a cute "opposites attract" kind of way.

Thrilled Aidan is gone, this time for good I think. A pretty poorly written arc for the most part. Never really discussed the reasons for the split with Kathy (Aidan is not the divorcing type) or the Big marriage (just erasure). It was a weirdly schematic move from one plot point to the next, with Aidan given none of the good qualities that originally attracted Carrie to him. The writers did John Corbett dirty. It could have been far more nuanced. Based on the article above, the writers seem clueless about how they villainized his character. Would have been so much better if they had achieved what they said they wanted: a victimless breakup.

On a nice note, how lovely was the exchange between Joy and Miranda? Honesty and tenderness generally lacking elsewhere. Loving this coupling.

They really don't know what to do with Seema and LTW. Seema has so much potential, but the writing for her is meh. Worse than meh is LTW. Maybe an occasional nice clip with Charlotte, making the point that having "mom" friends is important. But her home life is boring and pointless.

Agree all around. Aiden was so awful this time around, and I found Carrie more annoying for being into him. He actually reminded me of a number of real life men I know. I will say in retrospect that I liked how they sold him as perfect last season and then this season revealed all the flaws. Not just relationship issues like him sleeping with his ex or not communicating well with Carrie (which she is also guilty of), but just problem behavior like him being weird and obstinate about medicating his son, breaking those windows at her house in such a boneheaded way, the gross phone sex. This is what dating at this age is like -- people's quirks have hardened it this weirdness that is harder to deal with than it would have been at a younger age.

I am so relieved Miranda is getting a good storyline this season, with a normal, appealing love interest and realistic and interesting conflicts like a sober person dating someone who drinks.

Charlotte and LTW are on another show. Charlotte's stuff is so slapstick, though I think Harry and the kids have enough personality to make it work. Her plots at least make sense for what this show is supposed to be about, navigating stuff with her kids, reentering the workforce, Harry's illness. LTW gets terrible material. Her dad just died and it's like it never happened. Her husband is running for office but it's like a silly side plot and he only does campaign events when it's useful. She's got a crush on her editor but it doesn't seem to be having any impact on her marriage so who cares. Her kids are non-entities, completely without personality or interest.
