[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should have had LTW get an abortion. Such a missed opportunity for meaningful storytelling, especially in the current political climate.[/quote]

We already had two main characters—Carrie and Samantha—talk about their abortion experiences. We don’t need a third main character to go through that. I think a lot more women of LTW’s age related to getting unexpectedly pregnant at an advanced maternal age, feeling conflicted but deciding to keep it, then losing it. In fact, there have been numerous threads about that on DCUM.[/quote]

It is probably the most realist outcome, at her age. [/quote]

99% of unwanted pregnancies on TV shows magically end in miscarriage rather than abortion. It's such a cowardly and tired storyline. [/quote]

This is really unfair given that SATC gave two out of its four main characters abortion histories. Also, “Women older than age 35 have a higher risk of miscarriage than do younger women. At age 35, you have about a 20 percent risk. At age 40, the risk is about 40 percent. And at age 45, it's about 80 percent.” Giving her a full-term pregnancy at her age is the least plausible storyline. The actress who play LTW is 52. Not sure how old her character is supposed to be.

Is she really 52? Wow - I thought she was a decade younger.

I really liked this week's episode. Che, of course, is the effin worst - if you're going to be that un-self aware about what a d**k you are, at LEAST be funny.

Loved Nya's response to the pregnancy.

I really felt for Aiden and Carrie. I think it's clear they are going to have to split - I mena, it was clear from the beginning, but now we see why; it's because Aiden is a good person and [b]Carrie is also a good person,[/b] so neither of them is going to push for him to not be there for his son. It's kind of heartbreaking. It's actually heartbreaking! But maybe - I didn't come up with this - Miranda will move in with Carrie and they can each have at least one bathroom to themselves.

I don't know - am I crazy or has this show gotten good? I liked Charlotte's storyline this week, too! [/quote]

Since when?  She has always been insanely self absorbed and shallow. [/quote]

Carrie not walking out with Miranda during Che's horrific set was the last straw for me. she is NOT a good friend. [/quote]

It never ceases to amaze me how people don’t get what writers and producers need characters to do or not do, to move the plot along or set a scene.

The writers needed Miranda to walk out *alone* so that Che could follow and Che and Miranda could have a blow-up confrontation, uninterrupted.[/quote]

When people hypothesized that Carrie could have possibly saved Big's life, [b]had she not stood there for 15 minutes gaping at him[/b], others on here responded that Big, of course, had to die, so it doesn't really matter that the scene was bizarre. I would argue that it does matter how they killed him--that's part of the art of storytelling, and it's why we watch the show. Otherwise, they could just skip the scene entirely and put some text on your TV that says "Big died."[/quote]

IT wasn't 15 minutes and you know it.  The writers/producers got beat up here for the pause, but it wasn't as long as you say and could indeed have been possible inasmuch as he had been lying there for a long time and knew he was dying.[/quote]
