The thing I hated in season 6 was how Carrie made a day when Charlotte should of been the centre of attention in the group about yet another shitty breakup. Really? She couldn’t keep it to herself for one fucking day?! Then right there she says that that day will be known as the day she got arrested?! Um NO! It drove me crazy! Charlotte loves Harry and was overjoyed to get her proposal after all the heartache. As soon as Charlotte said her news Carrie should of said they can talk about her thing tomorrow. Then she went bunny boiler on Berger’s friends. What the fuck have they got to do with anything?! Let them enjoy their night and leave them alone! I will say I lost it at the cop who quoted the fucking post it when he said he couldn’t just let her off
Carrie’s storyline felt rushed in 6B. I think MPK wanted to end it with a happy ending for all the girls. I would’ve preferred Carrie happy being single at the end. She never really learned from her relationship mistakes.
To me, Carrie and Big deserve each other. People forget that Carrie was toxic as hell too, so it makes sense her emotional intelligence is -1000 and ends up with the man who treated her like crap. You can't be disappointed if you don't expect anything from her in the first place.
How did he treat her like shit though he’s great…. He treated Natasha like shit but he was solid to Carrie just took things slowly and she couldn’t handle that.
I watched SATC many many times over and over again. My opinion changed a lot, but I really liked older Charlotte more than the new one... Miranda is just genius! Carrie's storyline is great but can we please talk about Carrie as a best friend, I really think that CArrie is not a good friend to the others.
She’s a bit self absorbed but that’s bc she’s a writer who’s job is to constantly interrogate her feelings. Samantha is super selfish and self absorbed but the fandom is totally accepting of her being that way but not carrie. Actually all the women are pretty much obsessed with their own lives and feelings but they all show up for each other when needed. I really hate the narrative that Carrie is especially horrible when she gets each girl better than the others do
I"ve always thought SJP looked so pretty in S6. Her make-up is so great, she just glows. For some reason in the reboot her make-up is so dark, especially her eyes. I wish they would do it in these pretty pinks they used in S6.
To me what i dont like about the ending is that Big comes to save Carrie and it feels implied that without him showing up she probably would have stayed. Given that the show centres around strong female characters, i would have so preferred her to "rescue" herself and have big swoop in
absolutely agree!! also nether of them have changed and we know what Big did in the first movie... sooo i can see why Carrie chose him, but i personally don't like this behaviour been portrayed ((((
Wasn't she already leaving when she ran into him on the way together? She would have gone home with or without him. And she would have been fine without him. I'd have liked it if one character were single and fine with it.
Also, Big didn’t do any work to improve himself or change. I’m rewatching the show now and Carrie just slowly gives up on everything that she wanted and accepts Big’s terms for a relationship. They are the two characters who never seem to grow or change for the better over the course of the whole show. It also didn’t make sense that the entire show was centered around the friendships between 4 single women yet ends with all the women settling down in very cliche, romcom esque endings. I didn’t expect them all to end up single or anything but it just didn’t make sense with the show as a whole.
I always loved the finale of SATC, and when people bring up any negative stuff about Big, my reply is always that he’s not great but he is exactly what Carrie needs. She’s no picnic, most of the time I think she’s a nightmare! He’s not a monster, and considering she’s so set on a city lifestyle, complicated relationship dynamics, lots of money for shoes, etc., like, why the hell NOT Big?
I really didn't want Carrie to end up with Big because of how he spent years messing her around. Throughout the show, it felt like Big was allergic to treating her right. He ran off to marry Natasha and live his beige life and then started whining to Carrie about everything being beige right before cheating on his wife with Carrie. He never wanted to commit and it's like he had a special radar to detect whenever Carrie might be starting to forget about him and focus on being happy. The crowning moment for me was in this season when he tried to come back like nothing happened. I was happy that Carrie screamed at Big and told him to get lost and take his indecisive, manipulative tactics with him. Even if Carrie ended up leaving the Russian, her screaming at Big meant she was finally ready to choose herself instead of letting Big hold power over her. I felt betrayed when Miranda of all people told Big to go get Carrie because Miranda was always the one advocating for Carrie to dump Big and stop running after a permanently unavailable man like a pathetic little victim
I also think it also teaches anyone watching it that if someone messes you about so much and so often, like Big, they will eventually and suddenly turn around and be amazing - which is not the case most of the time
Just wanted to say I’m sorry people are d*cks sometimes. But a lil silver lining is on UA-cam, engagement is engagement. Even negative. So when someone is talking sh*t to you it helps your channel grow. I love what your doing. And it seems like you are vibing!!!!! That’s what matters the most
I love the ending bc it feels like the characters who put in "the work" succeeded (Charlotte and Miranda both went through long periods of introspection and compromise to end up Withe the lives they wanted) and Samantha realized she was never going to compromise for anyone. Carrie never really worked on herself so the end implies that her and Big get to be locked in their never ending cucle forever. Carrie wasn't willing to be honest with herself or ultimately to change her behaviors, so of course ahe got the "happy ending" that was actually tragic. Writing -wise I think it was a great way to satisfy the audience with and end that was happy on the surface, but more of a mixed bag when you really thought about it.
What end? With reboots and movies there's never gonna be an end. People two generations from now are gonna be watching Brady and Lilly's kids learning lessons.
I just finished rewatching this series, I have different prospective from most of the comments. When I watched the show in my late twenties, my favorite character was Miranda. I was single at the time and studying in graduate school, this rational, cynical career woman really resonated with me. Now I am in my late forties and married, I appreciate the complex character of Carrie. She was a hopeless romantic, more romantic than Charlotte, she wouldn’t marry a guy like Trey just because he looked perfect from the outside and fit her list. In fact, she didn’t even have a list, she dated all types of people. She was also true to her heart, a bit volatile and chaotic, but it fit her identity as a creative writer. I like her fun and childish side, Big calling her kid was very fitting. She was the least financially savvy and materialistic of the four. She genuinely loved fashion and beautiful shoes, not because they are expensive can be used as a status symbol like Samantha trying to buy a four thousand dollar Berkin bag. I also liked Big much more than the first time watching the show. I don’t think Big intentionally treated Carrie badly, he fell for her a lot slower than she fell for him, he wasn’t ready to give her what she wanted in the first 2 seasons. I think he was really in love with her after he divorced Natasha, but Carrie moved on to other relationships. It’s understandable that Carrie wouldn’t sit around waiting for him to commit, they just had bad timing until the very end. They became good friends, Big offered Carrie money when she was about to be evicted, and Carrie took care of him when he had the heart surgery. In the end Big first consulted Carrie’s friends, if she was happy with the Russian he would disappear and never bother her again. That’s a noble thing to do to put Carrie’s happiness first. When someone was so reluctant to commit said you are the one, you can probably trust him it meant something. Not like the ‘nice guy’ Aiden tried to evict Carrie as soon as he failed to tie her down.
We kinda abuse the term toxic nowadays. How come that by focusing on inclusion, acceptance etc we get less accepting, more shallow, less nuanced, less realistic and less mature towards humanity? Weird. People are so focused on appearing good and moral that they slide on the surface of things.
He was in another episode, too! Season 4, maybe, it was the one where the girls went to the gay club to dance, and he was at the bar a few guys down from Carrie.
I loved how all the girls (except Carrie) had such amazing character development and storylines in season 6. Charlotte, Miranda and Sam all progressed outside of the stereotypes they initially portrayed and came so far from where they started. I was so happy about how their stories ended. Was disappointed that Carrie showed no development and stayed, in my opinion, immature and self centered. I never hated Carrie, but as the series went on I was way more interested in the storylines of the other three. They just showed more growth and depth, to me at least, so it became more interesting to watch them and much less interesting to watch Carrie.
Charlotte's wedding dress lives rent free in my mind (same way Carrie's Richard Tyler floral dress from the s3 finale does) and if I ever get married I want my dress to look exactly like that, hell I don't care if I don't get married I just want a dress like that lol.
I think the reason why the ending is unsatisfying in terms of Carrie’s character is because the way they portrayed her image and what her legacy has become, didn’t match the ending that she got. Charlotte, for the most part has been consistent throughout the series. She wants love, marriage, and the baby carriage. Even with Miranda, she was always subconsciously looking for a man that understood her which she got in Steve, with Carrie she was looking for this all encompassing consuming love, but she was never realistic about it, and she looked for it in every man that she was ever with which to me, isn’t smart. I wish she ended the series single because like she says, in the end, the most fulfilling relationship you can have is with yourself, and I felt like Carrie was never a fully formed person to begin with her identity was wrapped up in the men she was with. Even when we got single Carrie, she was always preoccupied with her latest fling or the relationship that she just got out of, we never truly saw her for who she was except for season one episode one. Everything after meeting Big was a male centered woman.
I stopped watching SATC when she and Big were starting to be the "endgame". I just hated how he treated her. I loved first two seasons the most anyway.
they really was trying us...the ending shouldve been carrie struttin down madison avenue on her way to a date in a good dress, a baguette, smoking and giving that same exact speech but without the big phone call...carrie is a hopeless romantic
Big and Carrie's relationship is basically "I want you but you don't want me" ALL THE TIME. I was so mad she ended up with someone who treated her like crap. Like the show felt so ahead of it's time and them being an endgame was destroying that. It's like she absolutely needed a man to be happy and she had no other option than the toxic one... She's never learnt to LOVE HERSELF FIRST to find the perfect match and be appreciated for who she was.
Big was a 45 year old divorcée who already had a marriage fall apart that he thought he’d hold on to for the rest of his life. But he drifted away and then cheats on her and divorces. He is not going to enter a relationship with Carrie as neurotic as she was and rush to get married to her just bc Carrie (a woman who’s never been in love yet) demands it. I love them coming full circle together & her going through a journey to become mature enough for him and him going through a journey to realize no Carrie is everything to me, but the narrative that he abused her is crazy. He was just jaded in love and stuck in his ways
People who don't like the ending need to rewatch the pilot again. Its big. Sorry but that is how it has to end. And Darren is loopy if he thinks 'this show was about not needing a man'...the characters' dialogue always revolve around men talk. Carrie was always desperate for a relationship.
Exactly! I never understood how anyone saw this show as being about not needing a man. They talk of nothing but men in all six seasons. It's the theme of the show.
Does she not end up with Smith? So at least there is a little development here from representing nothing but random sex to some sort of depth of character.
I love all your videos first of all! Like many others have said, don’t listen to the haters you’re awesome! About big. I didn’t like him mainly because he was pompous, condescending, toxic, and so many other unhealthy things for anyone. Both he and Carrie were unhealthy towards each other but she did seem happy he choose her in the end so if she was happy that’s all that matters.
After rewatching the series, Carrie was definitely the issue. She fabricated relationships then freaked out when things didn’t live up to her expectations. Big nor any guy did anything to her. She was a terrible friend & partner. It came back to bite her in the new series too. Was just saying all this to a friend. There’s an article called Carrie is the villain & it’s true.
Bad partner to her love interests, yes. But why is she a terrible friend? She is not a good friend all the time but who is? In general, however, she is caring and supportive of her friends. I never understood why so many people say she is not.
I actually like the necklace detail. I love this TikToks (I don’t remember the profile tho) that do style analysis for each episode and something they noted is that when she starts going out with the Russian she’s more elegant style wise and she wears lots of pearl necklaces and stuff like that. So we don’t see her wearing her Carrie necklace throughout the whole duration of her relationship (I think) until she finds it again in Paris.
I liked Big+Carrie the first time I saw SATC (casually), but analytically, THEY ARE NOT ENDGAME; THEY ARE NOT GOOD TOGETHER. All that negative history would NOT bode well for an HEA, especially in PARIS.
You are obviously obnoxiously talented.. keep them coming.. can’t wait until the movie reviews.. you made me want to watch this all over again.. although season 5 is my fav!!!!! Soo nostalgic!🎉🎉
Apparently Darren Star wasn’t happy with the s6 ending of all the girls finding ‘love’ thus a so called happy ending. Meaning that if you don’t, then it isn’t! The final voice over of Carrie stating about the most and significant relationship is the one you have with yourself (which I truly believe) but if she had said this and being happily a single girl would have meant more to the show and us, the audience. Not everyone is blessed with a god damn ‘soul mate’ and that should be celebrated in itself 🥳
The ending was terrible, but it made sense: two emotionally stunted people who equate love with teenage notions of butterflies and mystery getting together, and deserving all the misery they're going to keep giving each other because they refuse to be frank and dilligent.
I just finished the show two days ago for the first time. The first 3 seasons I HATED Big. But as the show went on, I felt like Big and Carrie developed and refined some of their more negative traits. Carrie and Big have crazy chemistry, and Carrie will always be bored with someone that doesn't have the kind of spark that she always had with Big. She needs someone to keep things interesting, and even if someone is perfect on paper, it won't work if there isn't a slight taste of toxicity in the mix. Plus Big really does admire Carrie, and there is always a playful push and pull with them to keep the relationship going long term. I think it was fitting, and Carrie ending up with a wooden, cookie cutter perfect guy would have not been realistic.
So I watched the movie before the series and I didnt like Miranda that much at all in the movie, but after watching her through the seasons (and getting older lol) I came to love her.
While Robert did seem pretty perfect, SOMEONE smashed Steve’s television while Steve was moving into Miranda’s building. Do we really think anyone besides Robert did that? Remember, it happened in the lobby, it would have to be another resident of the building, or building staff.
The problem with Carrie she just never seemed to learn, Big fooled her so many times, gave her nothing for a really long time but she was so enchanted anytime he seemed to give a damn about her. I think her romance with Petrovsky would have put her in the right place, actually I liked him because he was so realistic and that's what always Carrie needed but I feel like Carrie actually did not love him in the first place but the opportunity he could have given: financial stability and someone in the middle between Aidan and Big....Aidan was his nicest guy and she treated him like crap and Big who never seemed to be committed to her but still Carrie waited for him..... Plus never forget Paris was an important milestone in Carrie's life and Petrovsky offered to move with him to Paris. Anyway I kinda hate Carrie ended up with Big but if you think about it...They totally deserved each other.
To me carrie and big are so toxic I didn't like that they ended up together in the end I wish that carrie remained single I did like samantha's ending same goes for Charlotte
The thing I hated in season 6 was how Carrie made a day when Charlotte should of been the centre of attention in the group about yet another shitty breakup. Really? She couldn’t keep it to herself for one fucking day?! Then right there she says that that day will be known as the day she got arrested?! Um NO! It drove me crazy!

Carrie’s storyline felt rushed in 6B. I think MPK wanted to end it with a happy ending for all the girls. I would’ve preferred Carrie happy being single at the end. She never really learned from her relationship mistakes.
Yeah me too I really hate that Darren star left the show
To me, Carrie and Big deserve each other. People forget that Carrie was toxic as hell too, so it makes sense her emotional intelligence is -1000 and ends up with the man who treated her like crap. You can't be disappointed if you don't expect anything from her in the first place.
Yep they are toxic
I wholeheartedly agree. I think they were each others karma.
How did he treat her like shit though he’s great…. He treated Natasha like shit but he was solid to Carrie just took things slowly and she couldn’t handle that.
@@possiblymaybe6711lol I can’t imagine what your relationships looks like if you think Big is “great”
I watched SATC many many times over and over again. My opinion changed a lot, but I really liked older Charlotte more than the new one... Miranda is just genius! Carrie's storyline is great but can we please talk about Carrie as a best friend, I really think that CArrie is not a good friend to the others.
Me too but I have ALWAYS LOVED Charlotte! I preferred old Carrie. In the re-boot she is boring to me.
She’s a bit self absorbed but that’s bc she’s a writer who’s job is to constantly interrogate her feelings. Samantha is super selfish and self absorbed but the fandom is totally accepting of her being that way but not carrie. Actually all the women are pretty much obsessed with their own lives and feelings but they all show up for each other when needed. I really hate the narrative that Carrie is especially horrible when she gets each girl better than the others do
I"ve always thought SJP looked so pretty in S6. Her make-up is so great, she just glows. For some reason in the reboot her make-up is so dark, especially her eyes. I wish they would do it in these pretty pinks they used in S6.
agreed, SJP has a long narrow face so dark makeup on her eyes should be a no no same w those tight hairstyles
Also Miranda’s hair this season was *chefs kiss* in both color and styles
100% agree!
To me what i dont like about the ending is that Big comes to save Carrie and it feels implied that without him showing up she probably would have stayed. Given that the show centres around strong female characters, i would have so preferred her to "rescue" herself and have big swoop in
absolutely agree!! also nether of them have changed and we know what Big did in the first movie... sooo i can see why Carrie chose him, but i personally don't like this behaviour been portrayed ((((
It also feels as though, if big didn't show up, she'd not have been happy... he was a necessary component for her happiness...
Darren star wanted to carrie end up alone
Wasn't she already leaving when she ran into him on the way together? She would have gone home with or without him. And she would have been fine without him. I'd have liked it if one character were single and fine with it.
Also, Big didn’t do any work to improve himself or change. I’m rewatching the show now and Carrie just slowly gives up on everything that she wanted and accepts Big’s terms for a relationship. They are the two characters who never seem to grow or change for the better over the course of the whole show. It also didn’t make sense that the entire show was centered around the friendships between 4 single women yet ends with all the women settling down in very cliche, romcom esque endings. I didn’t expect them all to end up single or anything but it just didn’t make sense with the show as a whole.
I always loved the finale of SATC, and when people bring up any negative stuff about Big, my reply is always that he’s not great but he is exactly what Carrie needs. She’s no picnic, most of the time I think she’s a nightmare! He’s not a monster, and considering she’s so set on a city lifestyle, complicated relationship dynamics, lots of money for shoes, etc., like, why the hell NOT Big?
I think he was not worst than she was, for better or worse they kind of deserved each other so I am not mad that they ended together.
I agree completely. She was ONLY not horrible to Big, everyone one else….👀
I really didn't want Carrie to end up with Big because of how he spent years messing her around.
Throughout the show, it felt like Big was allergic to treating her right. He ran off to marry Natasha and live his beige life and then started whining to Carrie about everything being beige right before cheating on his wife with Carrie.
He never wanted to commit and it's like he had a special radar to detect whenever Carrie might be starting to forget about him and focus on being happy.
The crowning moment for me was in this season when he tried to come back like nothing happened. I was happy that Carrie screamed at Big and told him to get lost and take his indecisive, manipulative tactics with him. Even if Carrie ended up leaving the Russian, her screaming at Big meant she was finally ready to choose herself instead of letting Big hold power over her.
I felt betrayed when Miranda of all people told Big to go get Carrie because Miranda was always the one advocating for Carrie to dump Big and stop running after a permanently unavailable man like a pathetic little victim
I completely agree with this!! Absolutely
I also think it also teaches anyone watching it that if someone messes you about so much and so often, like Big, they will eventually and suddenly turn around and be amazing - which is not the case most of the time
agreed! especially with the Miranda part!
You are totally right 🎯
I don’t mind that Carrie ended up with Big cuz she’s no prize either! Like she’s really insane, they do crazy things to each other
Just wanted to say I’m sorry people are d*cks sometimes. But a lil silver lining is on UA-cam, engagement is engagement. Even negative. So when someone is talking sh*t to you it helps your channel grow. I love what your doing. And it seems like you are vibing!!!!! That’s what matters the most
I love the ending bc it feels like the characters who put in "the work" succeeded (Charlotte and Miranda both went through long periods of introspection and compromise to end up Withe the lives they wanted) and Samantha realized she was never going to compromise for anyone. Carrie never really worked on herself so the end implies that her and Big get to be locked in their never ending cucle forever. Carrie wasn't willing to be honest with herself or ultimately to change her behaviors, so of course ahe got the "happy ending" that was actually tragic. Writing -wise I think it was a great way to satisfy the audience with and end that was happy on the surface, but more of a mixed bag when you really thought about it.
What end? With reboots and movies there's never gonna be an end. People two generations from now are gonna be watching Brady and Lilly's kids learning lessons.
Everyone who thinks Carrie and big didn’t learn and grow to better understand each other just doesn’t get them as characters. Whatever
I just finished rewatching this series, I have different prospective from most of the comments. When I watched the show in my late twenties, my favorite character was Miranda. I was single at the time and studying in graduate school, this rational, cynical career woman really resonated with me. Now I am in my late forties and married, I appreciate the complex character of Carrie. She was a hopeless romantic, more romantic than Charlotte, she wouldn’t marry a guy like Trey just because he looked perfect from the outside and fit her list. In fact, she didn’t even have a list, she dated all types of people. She was also true to her heart, a bit volatile and chaotic, but it fit her identity as a creative writer. I like her fun and childish side, Big calling her kid was very fitting. She was the least financially savvy and materialistic of the four. She genuinely loved fashion and beautiful shoes, not because they are expensive can be used as a status symbol like Samantha trying to buy a four thousand dollar Berkin bag. I also liked Big much more than the first time watching the show. I don’t think Big intentionally treated Carrie badly, he fell for her a lot slower than she fell for him, he wasn’t ready to give her what she wanted in the first 2 seasons. I think he was really in love with her after he divorced Natasha, but Carrie moved on to other relationships. It’s understandable that Carrie wouldn’t sit around waiting for him to commit, they just had bad timing until the very end.

The reboot is a disgrace!
💯🤔
I NEED to hear what you think about both films & And Just Like That…!
Girl, I'm waiting for the movies review!
I already started the outline for that video ❤️
We kinda abuse the term toxic nowadays. How come that by focusing on inclusion, acceptance etc we get less accepting, more shallow, less nuanced, less realistic and less mature towards humanity? Weird. People are so focused on appearing good and moral that they slide on the surface of things.
ive watched sex and the city an ungodly number of times...probably at least 6 times just this year and i never noticed andy cohen!!!
He was in another episode, too! Season 4, maybe, it was the one where the girls went to the gay club to dance, and he was at the bar a few guys down from Carrie.

It's like she absolutely needed a man to be happy and she had no other option than the toxic one... She's never learnt to LOVE HERSELF FIRST to find the perfect match and be appreciated for who she was.
Carrie was toxic to Aiden, her friends and some others along the way. Carrie and Big deserved each other.
Big was a 45 year old divorcée who already had a marriage fall apart that he thought he’d hold on to for the rest of his life. But he drifted away and then cheats on her and divorces.

Exactly! I never understood how anyone saw this show as being about not needing a man. They talk of nothing but men in all six seasons. It's the theme of the show.
Yes Robert was perfect for miranda I didn't like that she ended up with steve
I haaaaaated Sam's ending. I know that's her, sex etc. But, i feel like SJP did Kim sooo dirty with this last season.
Does she not end up with Smith? So at least there is a little development here from representing nothing but random sex to some sort of depth of character.
I love all your videos first of all! Like many others have said, don’t listen to the haters you’re awesome! About big.

Bad partner to her love interests, yes. But why is she a terrible friend? She is not a good friend all the time but who is? In general, however, she is caring and supportive of her friends. I never understood why so many people say she is not.
I wonder how Darren star would had ended the show had he not left the series after season 5
he said somewhere that carrie was supposed to end up single
I actually like the necklace detail. I love this TikToks (I don’t remember the profile tho) that do style analysis for each episode and something they noted is that when she starts going out with the Russian she’s more elegant style wise and she wears lots of pearl necklaces and stuff like that. So we don’t see her wearing her Carrie necklace throughout the whole duration of her relationship (I think) until she finds it again in Paris.
I literally just finished this season so this video was perfect timing loved watching these series with you!
I liked Big+Carrie the first time I saw SATC (casually), but analytically, THEY ARE NOT ENDGAME; THEY ARE NOT GOOD TOGETHER. All that negative history would NOT bode well for an HEA, especially in PARIS.
Do you still plan on covering the movies? I just found your channel and after watching the whole satc playlist I'm dying. 😅
You are obviously obnoxiously talented.. keep them coming.. can’t wait until the movie reviews.. you made me want to watch this all over again.. although season 5 is my fav!!!!! Soo nostalgic!🎉🎉
Apparently Darren Star wasn’t happy with the s6 ending of all the girls finding ‘love’ thus a so called happy ending. Meaning that if you don’t, then it isn’t! The final voice over of Carrie stating about the most and significant relationship is the one you have with yourself (which I truly believe) but if she had said this and being happily a single girl would have meant more to the show and us, the audience. Not everyone is blessed with a god damn ‘soul mate’ and that should be celebrated in itself 🥳
is youtube giving out trophies for "best theme song"? this is the best theme song.
The ending was terrible, but it made sense: two emotionally stunted people who equate love with teenage notions of butterflies and mystery getting together, and deserving all the misery they're going to keep giving each other because they refuse to be frank and dilligent.
Why is Big a jerk, only? Not knowing what you want and having bonding issues does not make you a terrible person.
Yeah, Carrie always wanted Big so she got what she wanted, but he always had one foot out the door. F that.
Keep it up! There are way more of us that support you than not. Some people will never be won over smh no use in trying
Big was awful. Bleck. I hate that guy.
I CAN FEEL YOU’RE REACTING 😅😅😅
What about the Carrie Diaries?
I just finished the show two days ago for the first time. The first 3 seasons I HATED Big. But as the show went on, I felt like Big and Carrie developed and refined some of their more negative traits. Carrie and Big have crazy chemistry, and Carrie will always be bored with someone that doesn't have the kind of spark that she always had with Big. She needs someone to keep things interesting, and even if someone is perfect on paper, it won't work if there isn't a slight taste of toxicity in the mix. Plus Big really does admire Carrie, and there is always a playful push and pull with them to keep the relationship going long term. I think it was fitting, and Carrie ending up with a wooden, cookie cutter perfect guy would have not been realistic.
Carrie should have REALLY chose herself- no Big, no Russian, no man. I loved the other endings
So I watched the movie before the series and I didnt like Miranda that much at all in the movie, but after watching her through the seasons (and getting older lol) I came to love her.
While Robert did seem pretty perfect, SOMEONE smashed Steve’s television while Steve was moving into Miranda’s building. Do we really think anyone besides Robert did that? Remember, it happened in the lobby, it would have to be another resident of the building, or building staff.
The problem with Carrie she just never seemed to learn, Big fooled her so many times, gave her nothing for a really long time but she was so enchanted anytime he seemed to give a damn about her. I think her romance with Petrovsky would have put her in the right place, actually I liked him because he was so realistic and that's what always Carrie needed but I feel like Carrie actually did not love him in the first place but the opportunity he could have given: financial stability and someone in the middle between Aidan and Big....Aidan was his nicest guy and she treated him like crap and Big who never seemed to be committed to her but still Carrie waited for him..... Plus never forget Paris was an important milestone in Carrie's life and Petrovsky offered to move with him to Paris.
Anyway I kinda hate Carrie ended up with Big but if you think about it...They totally deserved each other.
would you be up to making a video on the carrie diaries? i feel like it’s been forgotten
To me carrie and big are so toxic I didn't like that they ended up together in the end I wish that carrie remained single I did like samantha's ending same goes for Charlotte
Why does the restaurant where they have the goodbye dinner look like a bowling alley?
i love these videos pls make more SHAMELESS videos
Can’t wait for your opinion on just like that and the movies
The show of my life.
Oh yeah!
We are angrily waiting for Sex and The City Movie please and thank you. It is on Max free to stream.
