Is that show now about working women? Is that suddenly the main theme? Charlotte and Nya complain that it's hard to be a professional and have a private life. Seema's boyfriend's work is interfering with their "love". Miranda is on the BBC because her boss's baby got in the way. Nah, maybe I see an overarching potential main topic but I doubt that writers ever felt they needed a coherent vision. And that's one problem of the show. Instead more mini stories - sometimes w/o an ending whatsoever.
I liked that jewelry designer a lot. And now she calls Che funny. That's a sad failure of judgement ... She won't have the apartment (I predicted this previous episode). Why else would she talk about a crack in the ceiling? [Prediction: Between season two and three, there will probably be a major damage, she can't move in, she finds another place, Carrie moves back in 'cause she - just like after Big's death - doesn't feel like living in a big apartment.]
The party is stupid anyway. It's all too perfect (except the fact that imagery never capitalized on the "last supper/Leonoardo" theme, that was so we'll captured in this season's movie poster). Can't they just have a party? Can't they order Chinese food? Can't they have beer? Can't they stop playing this psycho game (I'd have left the room)?
And they keep discussing this anal sex story line. Including word plays like using the word "impenetrable" (giggle, giggle ...). Is that really the story they want to tell? Is that what writers think is a major "gay topic" that needs to be discussed? If you're generous then you might say that's just a plot device in order to talk about bonding issues. Aren't there more relevant topics? Like discrimination? Like wanting kids? Like homosexuality and Christianity (or Islam)? Like homosexuality and conservative politics?
Aiden: what is there to say? Yes, that's maybe sad when you watch it but I saw that coming from miles away (see my comments below the previous episode). And after that "crying in the car" scene Aiden gradually becomes more stupid. I mean what is he talking about? Five years? Five? The "kids excuse" probably makes sense. But seriously, five years? Plus, why don't they show his life back with his kids? How should I know if his reasons are genuine? Why should I care about Aiden anyway if he's just another ephemeral affair in Carrie's life? In Carries's relationships it's still only about Carrie. Has she ever even considered leaving NYC for Aiden? The show doesn't even bother to discuss this option. All that is stupid. I don't blame Carrie and Aiden (I know that they are fictional characters ;-). I blame the show runners. It all feels like a convenient excuse 'cause Corbett's contract is time limited and they want a third season within the parameters we're used to: single Carrie looking for love in NYC.
