[quote=Anonymous]just binged a few early episodes yesterday - season 2 - and:

No one had cell phones! Gd I forgot that we just sort of went about our lives without computers in our pockets back then. There was that episode when Big and Carrie went to their friends' wedding, and he took a call while she was reading a poem she'd written - and he was the only one with a cell phone, and was a total turd about cell phone etiquette (which was the point). Another scene where Samantha gets stood up for dinner (by the "we guy") and she's sitting at the table without a book and nothing to occupy herself. Now you'd just scroll Twitter or whatever. It'd be fine.

Steve was a totally different person! He was reading HEMINGWAY when he and Miranda met. He was complaining about the NYU kids wanting to talk about (I can't remember what, I'm sick, some philosopher or indie band). Why did they Flanderize him? Is that a statement about how we lose ourselves when we get older - or did they just forget he's not an idiot? (See also: Dean on GG.)

Carrie was so much more fun and easygoing. She had a joy about her back then. Made terrible choices, was a selfish person a lot of the time, etc etc etc - but she was fun. She glowed. She got so much more brittle as the series went on. Maybe that was a character choice, again, or maybe they just forgot how to write her.

Why didn't they make Miranda gay from the start?

Lots of fun cameos (and one that yick - Trump was in there for a whole 2 seconds, and YUCK). Saw Bradley Cooper as a momentary hot guy. He was young. We were all young.

They really only dated Wall Street guys, eh? Or mostly. I guess that was the world that Candace Bushnell lived in! I really enjoyed the SATC book way back when, too.

I wish they'd kept up the concept of having people around New York talk about their thoughts re: the topic of the week, like they did in those early seasons. It was fun. It also helped hold together the idea that each week was about a column being lived, reported, and written.

Anyway - it's a great COVID binge, and I don't think that's just the fever talking. [/quote]
