People are saying HBO decides on renewals after ratings and other analytics are revealed, and that this season will end on a final note that could be expanded on if a renewal is decided.

It has already been confirmed as renewed, per Instagram (Every Outfit on SATC)

You’re right! I spoke too soon.

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.

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.

No way Samantha stays!

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.

She has a house in the Hamptons.[/quote]


No, she doesn't

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.

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."

IT wasn't 15 minutes and you know it. The writers/producers got beat up here for the pause, but it wasn't as long as you say and could indeed have been possible inasmuch as he had been lying there for a long time and knew he was dying.

No, she was with Aidan.. Remember he's there! And of course the writers wanted a face-to-face confrontation with Che, outside, which couldn't have been as powerful if Carrie was standing there trying to look and act cute.

Apple has some clause that their branded prodicts cannot be used by the bad guys in movies and TV—howwwww did the peloton lawyers forget to write into their SATC product placement contract “please do not feature our product in such a way that it could be viewed as causing the death of a main character” ???

Nothing that a quick “come on let’s get outta here” couldn’t have fixed. I totally agree they should have all left. Still would have time for the confrontation. In what world does a friend let their bestie get shat upon by someone they’ve know for a minute? Carrie is an awful character. She had a softness and vulnerability in the first series and that has all gone away. It’s not relatable anymore.

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.

What happened to the house she and Big had in the Hamptons? That's where they were going the night she died. Why would she need to rent a house with Seema?

It certainly seemed in the first episode that she and Big had a house in the Hamptons but there’s been no mention of it ever since, even with all of the real estate discussions of selling the Big apartment, buying the other one and then selling it after a hot minute, buying this new place etc. etc.

Maybe they just rented seasonally, like most people.

I think it’s normal and wonder more about what bizarre family dynamic is happening in PP’s family.

DCUM divorced parents are notorious for minimizing how traumatic and difficult divorce is on their children. They selfishly rationalize that because *they* are fine (and have lots of kid-free time to boot!), all is well. So of course divorced parents on this thread are like “what’s Aiden so upset about”? They can’t related, as they personally feel no guilt or concern, as long as they, themselves are happy.

I’m the poster who thought Aiden’s blubbering was bizarre and poor acting.

FTR, I’m not divorced. And I do think parents on dcum grossly underestimate the impact of divorce on their kids.

But haven’t they been separated/divorced for a while?

And he was only away for less than a week (he got the call during his wife’s week while he was in nyc).

Sorry, but it is not normal for a 14 year old to wrap a car around a tree because they missed their dad who hadn’t even been away for a week.

Nobody is saying kids should be totz cool with an absentee parent, but this wasn’t really the case.

Plus: I’m more concerned with the blubbering and bad acting. The scene would have been better had a serious, not crying, Aiden called with an update. A slow, serious cadence would have underscored his concern along with his realization that his kid can’t handle this and thus he won’t be able to make this work.

Relatedly, I’m curious if any of you posters would have been upset with your kid for crashing a car at age 14? It almost sounds like you wouldn’t.

Um, yes, I’d be upset, but “upset” is very layered. You can be mad at the kid one minute, relieved they are alive the next, resolved to be there for them the next second, then feel trapped by the responsibility the next moment. You can feel a thousand different things in a matter of moments. Another thing is, when you finally have the chance to call the person you love, all those floods of feelings that you’ve been managing and handling can come out.

I just think it’s funny that some of you are apparently well-trained actors, telling someone who has had a successful, long-running career in Hollywood how to act.

I doubt most people believe he is a talented actor.

This role was a gift to him the first time around and he’s been lucky to milk it for so long.

Name another show or film he’s been in that demonstrates his acting talent…or any range.

I don't think she's as good as the other actresses but I think her criticism has been overblown. I actually think it's a testament to her acting that on the original SATC, people didn't think she was acting- they just thought she was Charlotte. She's not. I don't think it's a role that lends itself to an Emmy or other Award. She's beautiful and looks like a Park Ave princess and we all know how to act prudish. Not meaty like Miranda or Samantha.

I'm also rewatching SATC and Kristin Davis is really good in the first two seasons -- very different, not cutesy, more of an adult.

they are actually all much better in the first two season, more like real people.

+100. The first two seasons were really special because it was Darren Starr, not Michael Patrick King. The press and attention had also not had a chance to get to SJP and Patricia Field’s heads quite as much. SJP’s self-awareness of Being Iconic Carrie took a lot away from her performance and from the character, in my opinion.

Yes, they all walk out. Che comes out and because Carrie and Che are friends, her and Aiden walk away. If it was a random ex that Carrie didn't have a relationship with she would have stayed with her and told the person, not now or give her some space. Makes no sense they didn't leave the club. Especially Aiden being Mr nice guy and knowing Miranda so long.

IT wasn't 15 minutes and you know it. The writers/producers got beat up here for the pause, but it wasn't as long as you say and could indeed have been possible inasmuch as he had been lying there for a long time and knew he was dying.

I was being hyperbolic. It was not half the show of her just standing there.

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.

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

No, she was with Aidan.. Remember he's there! And of course the writers wanted a face-to-face confrontation with Che, outside, which couldn't have been as powerful if Carrie was standing there trying to look and act cute.

Nothing that a quick “come on let’s get outta here” couldn’t have fixed. I totally agree they should have all left. Still would have time for the confrontation. In what world does a friend let their bestie get shat upon by someone they’ve know for a minute? Carrie is an awful character. She had a softness and vulnerability in the first series and that has all gone away. It’s not relatable anymore.

Yes, they all walk out. Che comes out and because Carrie and Che are friends, her and Aiden walk away. If it was a random ex that Carrie didn't have a relationship with she would have stayed with her and told the person, not now or give her some space. Makes no sense they didn't leave the club. Especially Aiden being Mr nice guy and knowing Miranda so long.

Carrie should not be friends with Che after the way Che treated and spoke about Miranda. I loved how Miranda finally told her off outside the club.
