Kim Cattrall would have been a nice addition, but I wouldn’t say I missed Samantha’s character. I surprisingly found myself liking the new characters, especially Miranda’s professor. I’ll definitely be tuning in for the remaining episodes. Til next week

Tell us you're an HBO Max™ intern without telling us you're an HBO Max™ intern.

Carrie could have called 911 and done CPR until the cows came home and the man would still be dead, because the writers wanted him dead. He could have stepped into an empty elevator shaft instead but the heart attack would provide a bit more drama. It's a TV show, not a PSA.

In conclusion, if Carrie had called 911 or started CPR, Big would have lived. Dating (and marrying) an idiot can have fatal consequences.

Holy cow. I mean, she should've -- absolutely -- but the success rate for CPR "range from an average of 12% for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests to 24–40% for in-hospital arrests." He had maybe a little bit better than a 1 in 10 chance of surviving.

If Big were a real person, he wouldn't want you to exert yourself for a 10% chance of saving his life.

Natasha was perfect on paper but cool whereas Carrie and Big had heat. Heat usually wins.

You misunderstood. The first article is talking specifically about the medication that Big mentioned taking on the show, his lifestyle and the timing from when he first sent the text, to what is going on if he is still awake when she arrives. The conclusion that he would have lived is based on proximity to a hospital and that any EMT on the scene could have saved him. If Carrie had rushed to the medicine cabinet and given him one of his pills, she would have bought even more time for the EMTs to be successful but that’s a level of knowledge that’s unreasonable to expect.

Seriously, all she had to do was call 911 instead of stare lovingly into his eyes as he died.

It's paywalled, and it's not something I value enough to pay for. CPR *WITHIN* a hospital with advanced trained providers would be 24-40% survival, with the meds ready in a crash cart.

Sorry to disagree with the cardiologist who writes for -- what, Vulture? -- but this was no guarantee.

She still should have reacted better. Sometimes people don't do what they are supposed to, and sometimes shock and grief is debilitating.
