[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone else think Charlotte and Harry's costume choice was super random?  What is going on with Kristen Davis' vanity?  First she is number 3 on the MILF list.  Really?!? Then she is dressed as a character twenty years younger.[/quote]

Charlotte and Harry dressed up as Elizabeth and Philip from The Americans was the best part of that whole episode!!  Even my husband loved it, especially Harry as Philip with the wig and the glasses.  Their astonishment that no one at the party understood who they were supposed to be was hilarious.  ("It was on FX for [i]seven years![/i]")[/quote]

Yes, I fully bought that whole plot line. I thought it was perfectly executed to, because Charlotte absolutely didn't look like she was in costume at all, but the second she grabs Harry, you can see it, and it's a funny sight gag. Also love Charlotte being delusional enough to think she looks just like Kerri Russel, which I think is actually kind of endearingly optimistic, not sad, because she's not acting like someone 20 years younger (she is very much in full on middle-aged society mom mode) but she has the confidence of someone young and beautiful. Good for her! And it probably helps that Harry fully sees her that way, too. I like that he's game for all her random whims, whether it's watching the Americans or dressing up as them or doing kegels together.

I often found Charlotte annoying on the original show but on the reboot, she's refreshingly comfortable with her life at middle age, all in on her marriage and her kids, using her intelligence and skills to do things she's passionate about. When the other women on the show sometimes seem to be flailing or unsure about themselves, she's a nice change of pace and I think really important to making the new show work, when it does.

Sarita Choudhury's character also serves this purpose to some degree, though she's more two dimensional so far, and given less to work with.

Together, Charlotte and Seema are almost a full Samantha![/quote]
