I really hope so. This past season, even in spite of NYC, her Original Lover, she seems so apathetic. Maybe she’s outgrown the city?

It's surprising that someone her age + level of wealth doesn't have a permanent 2nd home outside the city. It would open up a lot possibilities for the show.

This is such a good point.

We already had two main characters—Carrie and Samantha—talk about their abortion experiences. We don’t need a third main character to go through that. I think a lot more women of LTW’s age related to getting unexpectedly pregnant at an advanced maternal age, feeling conflicted but deciding to keep it, then losing it. In fact, there have been numerous threads about that on DCUM.

It is probably the most realist outcome, at her age.

99% of unwanted pregnancies on TV shows magically end in miscarriage rather than abortion. It's such a cowardly and tired storyline.

This is really unfair given that SATC gave two out of its four main characters abortion histories. Also, “Women older than age 35 have a higher risk of miscarriage than do younger women. At age 35, you have about a 20 percent risk. At age 40, the risk is about 40 percent. And at age 45, it's about 80 percent.” Giving her a full-term pregnancy at her age is the least plausible storyline. The actress who play LTW is 52. Not sure how old her character is supposed to be.

Is she really 52? Wow - I thought she was a decade younger.

I really liked this week's episode. Che, of course, is the effin worst - if you're going to be that un-self aware about what a d**k you are, at LEAST be funny.

Loved Nya's response to the pregnancy.

I really felt for Aiden and Carrie. I think it's clear they are going to have to split - I mena, it was clear from the beginning, but now we see why; it's because Aiden is a good person and Carrie is also a good person, so neither of them is going to push for him to not be there for his son. It's kind of heartbreaking. It's actually heartbreaking! But maybe - I didn't come up with this - Miranda will move in with Carrie and they can each have at least one bathroom to themselves.

I don't know - am I crazy or has this show gotten good? I liked Charlotte's storyline this week, too!

Since when? She has always been insanely self absorbed and shallow.

Carrie not walking out with Miranda during Che's horrific set was the last straw for me. she is NOT a good friend.

It never ceases to amaze me how people don’t get what writers and producers need characters to do or not do, to move the plot along or set a scene.

The writers needed Miranda to walk out *alone* so that Che could follow and Che and Miranda could have a blow-up confrontation, uninterrupted.

Sometimes when I'm bothered about a certain storyline, someone will say something like, "they're not real people." Of course, we all know this. What I'm really complaining about is the writing of the character or how the scene was written. But that can really slow down a conversation.

Many a good friend would have had the self-awareness to let their friend have a confrontation with an ex. They still could have walked out with their friend. It never ceases to amaze me how people don't get that writers and producers need to take into account what friends would or would not do in a situation. Also, are a you screenwriter? Why so defensive about a viewers' opinion that Carrie, in that moment and for whatever logistical reason in the writers room about which you seem to be confident, was a bad friend? Weird.

Actually, I’ve written two plays that have been staged.

When people hypothesized that Carrie could have possibly saved Big's life, had she not stood there for 15 minutes gaping at him, others on here responded that Big, of course, had to die, so it doesn't really matter that the scene was bizarre. I would argue that it does matter how they killed him--that's part of the art of storytelling, and it's why we watch the show. Otherwise, they could just skip the scene entirely and put some text on your TV that says "Big died."

There was no need to become a freaking monk. Just having him be successful and happy in Japan would have been fine.

But the writers felt Stanford had to become a monk because he was giving away his worldly things including the apartment.

You're pretty judgemental. Remember Carrie is with Aidan at the Club. She is supposed to leave him? Also, as pointed out above, there needed to be a confrontation between Che and Miranda - that would have not worked with Carrie there

She has a house in the Hamptons.

I thought she was sharing a house with Seema for the summer and Seema backed out because she couldn't handle seeing Carrie and Aidan together.

I read part of an interview with one of the writers (producers? not sure now) that he had some kind of very healing moment in a Shinto temple in Japan and when they were trying to decide how to give Stanford his end thought that would be lovely and fitting.

Agree, she witnessed her best friend's embarrassment. Che did not have a comedy set it was a roast of Miranda and it was cruel. Carrie should have left

This! I would have pulled a “You B” ala Samantha and stormed out.

Samantha was the only adult on the show. I’m proud I’m a Sam.
