That was very enjoyable. I didn't even mind Che!
Miranda got what was coming from Steve, and should have seen what was coming from Che from the very beginning. She had absolutely no right to chastise Steve for sleeping with someone else, and her behaviour was very much as I've said before - Steve is always of more value to her when someone else wants him, and I rather think she's more angry that he's not pining for her than anything else. I could never understand where she thought she was going with someone like Che, whose whole persona is based around being sexually profligate and promoting "alternative" relationship structures. I wonder where Miranda goes from here. Carrie told Steve in the last series it was not Miranda's sexuality but Che that had led her to kill her marriage. I wonder if she will go back to singleton life and dating both men and women now, or remember that she likes mayonnaise.
Apart from Carrie's crazy top gun look at the Apple Store, I thought everyone looked gorgeous this episode. Charlotte again looking much better in pared down styles that don't scream middle aged Disney princess. For the love of the goddess, though, I hope she gets a decent story arc soon. Hoping we will see her going back to gallery work, and maybe even bumping into Trey, now that he's been name-dropped.
Carrie's stories were fine (and she looked gorgeous throughout). The Widowcon situation was reminiscent of SATC episodes with her first book tour in San Francisco and the single lady lecture circuit - the fear and awkwardness and humour falling flat, followed by something authentic from her that touches her audience. Obviously this Widowcon episode is being used as the launch of Aiden Part 4. He's divorced then. Wonder if he still part owns Scout, and if his ex and kids are still in NY? Where can Carrie and Aiden go without Big coming between them?
Seema and Nya continue to be underused, but I love them both when they are on. I'm guessing all the single ladies will be heading for some fun in the Hamptons.
I hope Che buggers off now. That Michael Patrick King interview linked above completely misses the point. If Che was just another character doing her own non- binary thing, and stayed on the periphery playing off the other characters now and then, the audience probably wouldn't care that much. It's the fact that the writers have had to destroy Miranda's history in order to accommodate Che that has got everyone's backs up.
I'm going to miss the next couple of episodes, and I'm actually gutted, which is high praise indeed from me! Will hopefully be able to read all your brilliant comments and find out what happens next from those.
