[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the "worst breakup ever" bit was a somewhat hamfisted introduction to the theme for this last episode of the season -- Big is gone. Finis. Over. Emphasis on the "breakup" part (not saying it was well done).

The light, his voice echoing "you know you are free" in her ear, the letting go of his ashes. It's all supposed to be a solid line of transition, and that's what lets her kiss the new guy passionately at the end.

I think SJP has been intimately involved with the reboot, and that's pretty obvious. It seems like that -- to her -- CB is an iconic character. She archived the entire wardrobe, or at least everything recognizable. These things have been kept in mint condition.

I think she probably felt there had to be a heavily telegraphed transition -- a dramatic storyline with Big dying, and angst, and a kind of shepherding of the viewers over the hump of The Big Relationship. "Worst BREAKUP ever" is a blaring telegraph of what was coming. I think.

Mind you, CB and SATC were not iconic or defining of the times for me, so I did not need the help. But I think that was probably part of the thinking behind it. [/quote]

I agree with everything you wrote.  Carrie is the sun, moon, and stars for SJP, and her preserving not only the costumes but the props and furniture used on the original series is really odd; it's a very unhealthy attachment to the character.[/quote]
