[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trey was nice but wasn't very supportive during infertility. I think Harry worked because he was very blunt. Charlotte needed someone a bit more assertive. Trey was too passive. [/quote]
Trey was "beta,"Harry and especially Big were more "alpha."

On the subject of characters-- Did anyone think Samantha and Charlotte were more or less one dimensional, with Carrie and Miranda being more multidimensional? Of course, Carrie was the central character and narrator, so we heard her insights more. [/quote]

I think they did try to add layers to both Charlotte and Samantha by having them face challenges unique to their particular dispositions. [b]Charlotte is a Park Ave. Princess who wanted to marry Prince Charming. Well...she did and found out all that glitters is not gold. When she ended up with the "beast" that is Harry to her "beauty," she demonstrated a lot of growth and agency. [/b]

Same thing with Sam and the Smith and cancer story line. We also sensed that Sam was sexually promiscuous because of her deep sense of insecurity. She thought no man could possibly want her for anything other than her body. I don't necessarily think Carrie and Miranda were more developed than the other two.[/quote]

I think it would have been much more interesting if Harry was poor, but I guess they thought they had already done that with Steve.[/quote]

Sure. Of all the women Char consistently dated blue blooded super wealthy guys. Even for casual sex she wouldn't consider anyone who wasn't a lawyer or an investment banker and she was the most obviously classist.

I still really found her storyline realistic and very endearing. She, like a lot of us out there, had this large checklist of her perfect man and found out that what really makes her happy was something very different. Her short marriage to Trey and its dissolution was very interesting. I think the fact that Char found the rigid rules and customs of the McDougal clan stifling and intrusive was indicative of her growth from back when we first meet her in Season 1. Maybe season 1 char wouldve loved the McDougals and all their strange world. But by the time she finally marries her perfect on paper dream man...she had been single and independent for a long time and actually needed a marriage where she had more autonomy. Harry made her so happy because he was on board with whatever she wanted, no questions asked. She had the upper hand in that marriage.[/quote]
