[quote=Anonymous]I actually thought the plot line with Seema was really realistic and liked how the show handled it. Yes, there was some immaturity there (on both sides! Carrie just totally forgot about her summer house with Seema AND was totally unrealistic about how that would work with Aiden in the picture) but that's realistic too -- people are not always super mature and rational.

But mostly I just think that's a very common issue with friends, even well into adulthood and middle age, when your lives don't match up in certain ways. Seema being willing to say, out loud, that she is unsure if she will like herself when she's the third wheel with Carrie and Aiden was actually extremely self aware. So was her willingness to say that she is jealous of Carrie having two "great loves" when she's never had one. That's very real and I think a totally rational feeling to have in that situation.

I like that they addressed it and I also think it gives Seema's character more depth. Seema is NOT just Samantha 2.0 -- she's embraced being single and professionally focused, but unlike Samantha, it's less of a choice for her and a part of her does wish she'd been able to find someone. But what she has in common with Sam is a refusal to compromise who she is in order to please a man who might be threatened by her. I just really like her character and think this storyline was realistic and fleshed her out a bit. She puts up a good front but there is a part of her that wishes things had turned out differently. What is more relatable than that?![/quote]
