AJLT... With spoilers!

[ReeseWitherfork]

Just finished episode one and need to talk about it!!!

Didn't like much of the episode to be honest. But the ending! I'm floored! Was not expecting that.

I didn't like Miranda and the Professor bit - surely she could have just said "oh your hair is different to your picture and i didnt recognise you from behind"

Mirandas hair looks amazing. But they are all so bloody beige, its painful

The shoes looked blue to me

Brady - oh just fuck off, like you would accept your dc overly necking in a public location like that - seriously?

Hopefully it will all calm down soon

They should bring Gerri from Succession in it. She wouldn't take any crap.

'Anthony called her "black Charlotte" at the recital.'

Yes, that was

The comment from the other student "someone's quick with the pronouns" made me wince. So unnecessary. Unless they're trying to give us some sort of sly education.

Nah. That was quite possibly the most plausible line in the whole show. It is exactly what a certain type of student on a certain type of course would say in that situation.

Is Adian coming back?
Please no. I can't stand him.

I love Anthony and I'm glad to see he's still himself.

'Is Adian coming back?
Please no. I can't stand him'

Same here. He was awful

I think they might do something left field and bring Berger back. Post It note was presumedly the last Carrie saw of him, so they've got a lot to argue about.

Oh god, I'll take Aidan all day long rather than 5 mins with Berger! He was just THE WORST

I know, Lotta, whiny, jealous brat. But unresolved, which is why I wondered whether they'd bring him back. The other possibility in the old loves department is the high school bf played by David Duchovny, hopefully he's sorted his head out by now.

Maybe Jon Bon Jovi has found he is able to maintain a relationship after having sex with a women ?
They could bring his character back 😍

Or maybe the skateboarding lad will now be a fully grown man with a legal weed enterprise.

In an act of middle aged vigilante justice, the girls could jump Berger in an alleyway, knock him out with a Manolo heel, and cover him with post-it notes describing what a loser he is.

How come they can smoke weed wherever they like indoors?

I thought the funeral was horrible. So cold and impersonal.

Oh yes, EachandEveryone, Power Lad! Maybe he's inherited his parents' fancy apartment with the view over Central Park - Carrie can just move her shoes there if she gets slung out of the Big apartment.

JaneJeffer weed is legal now to some degree or other in most states in the US. Think there's only 3 states left where it's fully illegal. I'm not sure how it squares with the tobacco smoking ban indoors in public places, though.

I’m sure I saw a preview clip where Carrie is saying something like “here I was, with him, and he was seeing to all the other wives”. I wonder if the financial fallout from big, as speculated by others, ties into supporting his other ex wives? Would tie in with clip of Natasha in some of the trailers and also what Gloria said to Carrie at the funeral re a tonne of paperwork?

A slightly further fetched thrust of mine is Smith reappearing to be Miranda’s AA sponsor…

Theory not thrust! Honestly not a Freudian slip there about Smith…

I agree, I think he will have been paying for Natasha's apartment or paying her a lot of alimony out of guilt for the affair (rather than legal obligation).

That's what I meant @TedImgoingmad surely you can't just light up in a lift (or elevator to them) and indoors at a funeral?

@JaneJeffer

I thought the funeral was horrible. So cold and impersonal.

Just like Big really. We never got a sense of who he actually was.

Found this in a Newsweek article from March 2021, JaneJeffers:

People in New York can now smoke marijuana in many public places without fear of the consequences, but, as is the case with cigarettes, there are restrictions on where a person can smoke.

Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation on Wednesday that legalizes recreational marijuana in the state of New York. It's the 15th state to enact the measures and, along with expunging records, it makes it legal for people to smoke marijuana in places that aren't already prohibited.

People over age 21 can smoke marijuana wherever smoking tobacco is allowed under the Clean Indoor Air Act. Smoking tobacco is prohibited in almost all public and private indoor workplaces, including restaurants and bars, mass transportation, public transportation terminals, schools, colleges and universities, hospitals, indoor arenas and zoos.

While legalization is statewide, the legislation allows local leaders to implement further restrictions on where marijuana can be smoked, so it's important to keep up with local laws, as well.

So yes you are right, probably lots of illegal weed smoking under the Clean Indoor Air Act going on in that episode.

Hasnt miranda been addicted to something before?

I was waiting for the smoke alarm to go off in the lift @TedImgoingmad

that would have at least been funny, something sadly lacking so far!
