How stupid was it that Lisa brings Harry nuts and he makes a joke about big nuts? Then...Charlotte never mentions her recovering husband again. My husband had prostate cancer. There was absolutely no ice and no call for ice by the dr. What you do have is a catheter. Then Charlotte never mentions Harry again during the episode.

Why would Anthony's boyfriend want him to have dinner alone with his mother? And why was this raised and then again never raised again in this particular episode?

Aidan and Carrie aren't physically together because of his son. His son announces he will no longer be living with Aidan and Aidan doesn't get on the phone with Carrie and say, "Guess what?" He doesn't tell her the second he arrives. He waits until she asks why he brought so much stuff.

Lisa's acting was terrible - with the salad and when she said she had to leave to get her daughter seltzer and when she was talking to her husband/daughter. Charlotte's was also bad. She was able to fill the condom but was disgusted when it was on her at the museum? The museum scene with Anthony's boyfriend's mother - terrible. No one would be that rude right in front of Anthony.

The best story line of this current episode was Miranda and the alcohol.





I agree with all of this.

I did like the scene where Lisa wakes up her husband to have sex and then he goes to pee first and starts asking her about the seltzer. That felt very real to me, and I laughed. I wished they had stayed with it a little longer to see how it resolved.

But yeah, the whole scene with the kale salad was bad. And is he just eating a whole papaya for lunch? I get it. And then he invites her to the movie that night. It all sounds very sexual. And maybe that’s supposed to contrast with her and the kale salad.
But then somehow, despite the scene dripping with references to sex, he also doesn’t seem to be overtly flirting with her. It seems possible she is just misreading things. Like maybe he’s just the kind of dude who eats whole papayas for lunch and talks about how ripe they are.

It's not just her. Look at how much overacting is being done by most of the cast. The bread guy is awful but he used to be funny, Harry, the kids. Everybody overacts. It's as if they hired a cast from a high school and told them to be BIG. It is so cringe. This is horrible directing. It's not just horrible writing.


I think Kristen Davis in particular is overacting because she can’t really move her face anymore. Her plastic surgery has made speaking clearly difficult so she is over the top. She was much better in SATC, and she had a really expressive face.

I get being fashionable when you are out. I'm in my heels when I'm out and I never where sneakers and change my shoes (fashionable flats or something like that) but really. Does she want hip surgery again?


I am not someone who regular wears heels, but she explained to her neighbor that she was trying out shoes.

Also, a lot of habitual heel wearers have a shorten Achilles tendon. They can’t comfortably walk without heels.

Exactly. Regardless of how they feel about the actor, the Big character would still be impacting her life.


I was thinking about this while I was watching it, and I think that her just “getting over it” is part of the appeal of the show.
None of the main characters ever have any backstory. They are just plopped in NYC with no previous family or friends or hometown. How believable was it that Charlotte’s parents weren’t involved in her wedding to Trey or vocal about her conversion to Judaism?
They don’t have the baggage that real people do in the real world. They just show up to every scene as a blank slate more or less. Thats part of what’s appealing about the show, I think.


Agree and don't

The money she has to buy that house is from Big. No photo of him; or framed something or an album they love together but she has every shoe she has worn since she was 22?

Also Charlotte's dad gave her away; they do talk about their families but don't talk about the drama and trauma of it. Miranda settled into a life caring for Steve's mom.

But yeah they don't have nieces or nephews or obligations to anyone out of this little bubble.


Wait, I want to know what happened to Charlotte’s brother!

Maybe that’s it. They have no drama or trauma from their past. Ever. Once it doesn’t move the storyline along anymore, it’s gone. They have years long friendships that drop in from nowhere and disappear just as quickly. They forget about previous escapades with each other. They aren’t native New Yorkers, but they aren’t from anywhere else either. They are from nowhere.
They just exist in the present and without a past. That is why we can spend so much time talking about their dresses and shoes. It’s lovely

Watch The Guided Age…Nixon’s acting in it makes Davis look like she has immense talent.


A show with so many similarities to AJLT... many horrible actors, horrible dialogue, plots that make no sense, too many Broadway stars, many people who hatewatch
