[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why wasn’t Steve at the last supper?  I thought he was supposed to be there?[/quote]

I was sort of confused by this too, because of the conversation between Carrie and Miranda where Carrie tells Miranda she needs to figure out how to talk to Steve and not just cut him out of her life. It seemed implied that both Che and Steve would be at the dinner, and that's why Carrie was telling Miranda to get her $hit together and mend fences.

But in retrospect, I think Carrie was just using the conversation about Miranda not wanting to see Che at the dinner as a jumping off point to tell Miranda that she was being immature with regards to the man she was married to for 15+ years and with whom she had a child. I think the point is that while avoiding Che is kind of dumb, avoiding Steve is downright immature -- he's not just some random ex like Scooter, he's a huge part of her life and they share a child. I don't think Carrie was ever saying Steve would be at the dinner, just that Miranda needed to talk to him.

I do think the show is being weirdly flexible about Carrie's circle of friends. Like it doesn't really feel like she's close to Naya or LTW at all (they are Miranda's and Charlotte's friends, respectively, and she is just friendly with them through her close friends). Whereas she's known Steve for like 20 years and is his kid's godmother. I can accept that Che, Jackie, and Lisette have become inner circle friends over the last couple years of working/living near them. But I don't buy that Naya and LTW are her good friends.

It's stuff like this that really highlights the idea that they are shoehorning in diversity without fleshing out these characters and relationships. Have we ever gotten a 1:1 scene between Carrie and either of those women? What about between either of those women? Have either of them ever been alone with Seema? They assigned each of the returning cast a WOC pal, and then threw in Che and Jackie for further diversity. But now they want us to buy that this is a cohesive social circle and they all attend the same events and hang out together? Nope, don't buy it. These people barely know each other.[/quote]
