+1 Yes, SJP is doing this to herself. And has been since season 3 I think.[/quote]

Love it or hate it, this is true and I think SJP is writing herself this way for a reason. I think a lot of haters of the show aren’t getting that. I think maybe this is how she might have seen herself at one time? I just think a lot of people are missing the point of the show. I think Carrie’s character maybe how SJP imagined life was for young women in the “The City”. Remember SJP came from a very poor background. [/quote]

Agreed, Carrie can be awful but I appreciate SJP didn’t take the Mary Sue route with the character.[/quote]

There is a lot of space between Carrie's awfulness and Mary Sue.

Did you ever watch Monk? Tony Shaloub insisted that Adrian Monk not become merely likably quirky over the course of the series. You might understand him better, he might stretch himself in certain ways, but he wasn't going to turn into someone who never made you cringe.

Carrie has some good moments (offering to get Charlotte out of the wedding, being upfront about her abortion -- and calling herself on it when she tried to lie and make it seem more "justifiable" or palatable or whatever), but they're sitting on a pile of cringe.

And Miranda's !!!Drinking!!! Problem!!! is so stupidly . . . . can it even be called "telegraphed'? Megaphoned?[/quote]

With Monk you always feel like he's in on how he's supposed to be perceived. We see him how they also see him. I'm not sure with SATC that the creators have the same vision of the character as we do. Do you think our visions are aligned?
