And Just Like That (The Anthony Appreciation Society)

[ReeseWitherfork]

First thread….

Spoilers etc.
Everyone posts when they’ve seen the episode so probably best to avoid the thread until you’re up to date.

I was relieved to see the daft teenage fairytale that Carrie and Aiden have been playing out is apparently about to end. What a silly few weeks they have had!

I assume like many that Samantha will be on her way to the Last Supper. But Carrie has already sold the flat to jewellery girl so maybe she’ll start anew in the big white space and not claw it back at the end (I bet she tries to)?

Harry forgetting about emancipation and parenting seems out of character.

The Anthony actor has kept himself trim, he’s in his 60’s! His bit with the boyfriend was down to the bone but much more in the spirit of the old stuff. I think SJP surprised him with the drinking and the wink and they kept it in. She came clunkily out of character there.

Che. No.

'I was relieved to see the daft teenage fairytale that Carrie and Aiden have been playing out is apparently about to end. What a silly few weeks they have had!'

Daft teenage fairytale - spot on! A few days of shagging each others brains out and they're buying a house together 🙄

Aidan is a worse crier than Amber Heard. That aside, I’m actually loving this season, so easy to pan it but it’s the best show of this genre out there, actually it’s the only one at the moment and I look forward to every episode. I really hope there’s a season 3. Anthony has been fabulous the few episodes, I’d really love to see the new characters been developed more over a few more seasons, I’m enjoying them all.

Down to the bone I had to giggle! 😆

I agree tho, it was actually really well done.

@mikado1 I try 😉

Just seen thur. As usual l love it. More of you are enjoying it now even looking forward to s3 !!!!

Anthony can't beleive he has never been the 'woman' that he has always been the one giving not receiving over all these years

Guess e11 next week means he has lost his hole virginity

Charlotte was funny drunk , good she yelled at kids and lived the way she let her dog in after she slammed the door

Miranda I get why she was hurt and upset

Che / wow that was cruel. I didn't reliese how pretty she was or do I have to say they - with long hair - quite beautiful

Nyah with her £999 buggy present. Good for her

Seema saying I love you

Carrie is just reliesing how hard it is to date someone with kids

Aiden I did feel sorry for. If kids are staying at mums then He should be allowed to live /be elsewhere

Not sure how long ago they split up so is it new for the 14yr

Lisa I think having a mc was the easy way out of the plot

Roll on e11 next week. Last one

Oh and Stanny being a monk. I think that was Nice Tribute to him and Carrie downing her drink in his memory

Oh and sam smith awful blue suit

Please tell me that's not fashion !!!

@QueefofSheena Ow you have me thinking and all know how much mn loves a diagram !!!

This is my interpretation of carries apartment

Yep I'm sad on a Sunday 😂😂

@QueefofSheena pic didn't bloody attach above

Do you think the whole thing is going to end? Its such a shame, I wonder if they have had good viewing figures? I hope she doesnt move to the farm with him? Hes still as controlling as ever. Do you think he really bought that flat with her? Its 5 million plus $75000 annual service charge. I will be gutted if she moves with him.

😮

Did they say the price on the show and I missed it?

I don’t think she’ll ever leave NYC and also that would be darn cheeky given he can’t even manage to go into her flat!

5 million. Wow

Tho we know big was rich

I thought she bought it by herself. Must have missed the price also.

blondes Sara Ramirez (Che) was in Grey’s Anatomy for many years and she was gorgeous (and less annoying)

I also thought Carrie bought the flat by herself, but then Aidan said something, didn't he, about it being their flat (not that that means he made a financial contribution, but I did wonder).

Well yeah I think she means it to be for both of them to live there but I think she bought it before he saw it? Can’t remember now.

https://streeteasy.com/building/3-gramercy-park-new_york/ph if its not this one its very similar. Im forever looking at property online and Im always amazed how little out door space there is.

@CorporaINobbyNobbs I've never watched greys. Maybe I should

I take it sara Cheryl /che wasnt always they them and was a she her once

Sara was bloody brilliant in Greys. I think that’s almost part of the reason why the character of che missed the mark so badly - because Sara Ramierez was so well liked.

CblondesSara Ramirez (Che) was in Grey’s Anatomy for many years and she was gorgeous (and less annoying)

She's still gorgeous, stunning in fact. And I think she does a very good job with a truly awful character. Never seen Grey's Anatomy so have nothing to compare her to

@EachandEveryone that’s really interesting. ‘pass through kitchen’? Not much egg poaching space for Carrie there 😊

Sara is still gorgeous yes. And sometimes I think I like Che a little bit cos I like Sara/Callie Torres!

I think SJP surprised him with the drinking and the wink and they kept it in. She came clunkily out of character there.

I don’t agree, I actually thought it was a gorgeous moment- almost breaking the fourth wall- must have been so difficult to film for them both. They had to have closure on his character and it will have been all with the support of his family too, especially poignant and with good humour if they related it to a real life event, as a PP mentioned.

Talking of real life, where did that $5M plus service charge price tag for the new place come from?🤣 I think it’s filmed in a studio setting but I could be wrong and it might be a real Manhattan town house interior

My thoughts on Che for what it's worth... I'm a big fan of schitts creek which has a pansexual character. In season 1 he explains what it means to be pansexual (I like the wine and not the label) and his dad also talks to one of their friends about it but after that I don't think it's ever mentioned. He is just a guy living his life the way he wants with acceptance from everyone around. No drama needed.

I assume the writers are looking to increase acceptance of trans people through the Che character but are managing to do the exact opposite by ramming it down the viewers throats every second they get. They could get so much mileage out of the show just showing Che live her life, showing her sex life the same way they did with the original 4 in the original series.

I don't know about anyone else but I actually really appreciated the Anthony sex scene. Being a heterosexual female it's something I know very little about and I would appreciate learning about Che in the same way.

It's such a shame as Sara Ramirez is a great actress.

They could have done a great show with the new characters dating in later life and as a trans person and really made something of it without the old characters who they seem to have changed to fit the narrative of a new show that they don't really need to be a part of. Then we could have seen more of the new characters instead of the tiny standalone scenes e.g nya and her chocolate souffle and Seema and her I love you.
