A bit meh, I thought.

Sam's cam was, well, a bit nothing.

Anthony's face was a series of acting in one shot 😂

Che and Toby can just get in the bin. No one cares. NO ONE.

Still on board for hate-watching series 3!

And - without wanting to TMI - if Italian Stallion is so well endowed, Anthony really should have worked up to his first time with toys etc!!

SheilaFentiman · 24/08/2023 18:10

I’m hoping Che and Toby and Storm and Jackie (?) were in it to be wrapped up and never seen again. Ditto Lisette. There are toooo many characters!!

SheilaFentiman · 24/08/2023 18:13

Also - Egypt is in the same time zone as London, why was the tourist board calling Ravi at 9pm -ish New York time?!

Pootle40 · 24/08/2023 18:21

Samantha bit while fab was so silly. She hasn't been mentioned whole season but we are to believe Miranda and Charlotte told her about the party.

BeaLola · 24/08/2023 18:23

Haven't watched final episode yet but get rid of Aidan - Big was Carries love , Aidan is bloody nightmare - if she can't buy a place to be near him then give up now - it's doomed !

Netaporter · 24/08/2023 18:33

@SheilaFentiman thanks for putting that on your internet history so I don’t have to have it on mine 😂 The whole premise was still grim tho. And unnecessary.

SheilaFentiman · 24/08/2023 18:08

That five years thing was THE WORST!

Ravi was asking Seema to come to Cairo with him for five months after, what, 8 weeks together? But Carrie, who is rich and can write anywhere, couldn’t get a little flat in Norfolk, Virginia and spend a week or two a month there??

Sounds like the ideal scenario for a new book

I also really enjoyed Charlotte’s rant and the way she said Harry was doing the bare minimum while women were expected to do the max. Fair play.

Youdoyoutoday · 24/08/2023 19:21

I quite enjoyed this episode but some parts are just so silly.

Aiden asking carrie to wait 5 years is unrealistic and unreasonable. Surely Wyatt would be spending time with his mum so aiden would be able to go to NYC or Carrie could go to him?

Lisette getting excited about Carrie leaving her bras?? Very childish!

I did forget that Miranda has stopped drinking and was thinking she would make a tit of herself in the BBC interview but I'm glad it went well, I'm glad she seems to finding her old self again. Joy seems nice and a good match for Miranda if that's the way it's heading rather than selfish Che who is awful still, hopefully Toby whisks her way forever.

Nya and toussaint!! Yum!! He's so dreamy and I've fancied the pants off of him since his CSI days especially the episode where he's holding a baby!! My knicker elastic weakened by itself!
Someone mentioned about her terrible flirting, to be fair, it's been a long time since she's had to and I think we'd all be out of practise after that long!!

LTW looking fabulous as ever, completely understood her guilt.

Samantha, it was lovely to see her but knowing all the hatred that's behind the scenes made it feel very shoehorned in. No phone call for Big dying, only flowers but for moving out of a flat, that was worth a 1 night stop over??

I have started watching SATC all over again, still on season 1 so I'm kinda looking forward to watching AJLT all over again too, didn't think I'd be saying that!

also to be fair she was pushing at an open door 😆 he made it quite clear from the first time he met that he fancied her!

@SheilaFentiman Egypt and London are not in the same time zones...

Oh shoot! Thanks.

OK I clearly have too much time to think about these things but did anyone notice that in the Carrie/Aidan sex scenes at the end, SJP was topless. It was the first time to my knowledge that she has ever allowed herself to be filmed without a bra, negligee etc. I think it was meant to symbolise a new sense of freedom, of letting go of expectations, of really coming into herself, with or without a man. Or something! I am way over-thinking this aren't I? 🤣

Lottapianos · 24/08/2023 21:14

'SJP was topless. It was the first time to my knowledge that she has ever allowed herself to be filmed without a bra, negligee etc.'

Yes I noticed that too. She's always had a no nudity clause as far as I know and as Carrie has always worn bras in bed. Maybe she knows JC so well and is so comfortable with him that she decided to make an exception 🤷🏻

tribpot · 24/08/2023 21:15

I did also notice that, @theleafandnotthetree , I thought she had had it written into her contract that she didn't have to do topless work. Unfortunately then the scene moved rapidly on to a close-up of Aidan's arse, he should definitely have it written into his contract that he doesn't have to do arse work of any kind.

It's always brilliant to see Samantha but I don't really understand her cameo. I assume it must have been shoe-horned in without warning, and hence why she wasn't mentioned for months.

We can count cats among the things the AJLT writers have no experience of. Did Carrie put the cat to bed during the dinner party? How on earth is she going to keep the cat inside in the new apartment, with those big balconies? Who the hell's looking after the cat whilst she buggers off to Greece? (I realise people go on holiday but it sounded like they'd been there for ages).

Still, it meant those wooden floors were getting a rest from the high heels.

Nice of Aidan to pop up from the farm on the night of the Last Supper to tell Carrie they can't see each other for five years, or some such shit. What a nonsense. Just split up already.

Loved Charlotte's speech, and I thought Herbert and LTW did their absolute best with the world's most underwritten pregnancy storyline.

Noticed this straight away and I'm 100% sure it was a very deliberate choice, to symbolise Carrie's trust in Aidan, her moving on in life etc.

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 24/08/2023 21:29

I did wonder about the cat bedtime! Was she down in the other flat? And yes who’s minding kitty while they are holidays? Improbable Lisette?

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 24/08/2023 21:30

Also noticed naked Carrie even though no boobs on show (was there? - i was covering my eyes so as not to see naked Aidan 🤮)

DaggerIsle · 24/08/2023 21:36

Don't know about the symbolism but I noticed about the toplessness too. I thought it was SJP trying to be edgy.

No, no boobs.

I think she has been braless before in SATC, but with a suitably draped sheet.

Ridemeginger · 24/08/2023 21:53

I too was taken aback by bra free Carrie. I’m wondering if it’s because she left them all behind for Lysette - symbolic in a bra burning kind of way, passing the bra baton (and all the hang ups of youthful relationships) to the younger generation. She did say in a previous episode that she felt sexually liberated for the first time - that she’d always held something back, but this time with Aiden, she was all in and having fabulous orgasms. It might also be SJP showing the industry that she still has a fabulous body she’s proud of.

Anyhow. Aiden’s arse has to have been symbolic of what a complete and utter arse he is. The whole 5 year thing is so weird, and I can’t work out whether they will be seeing each other at all in that time or not. My DH watched it and said it’s Aiden’s slow revenge on Carrie for the Big affair. Then bellowed “You broke my heart!!!” and scared the cat.

What annoys me is that they will be insistent on keeping Che even though there’s no interaction with the other characters, they are globally disliked but to write them off would be the writers admitting they got it wrong. Which they are too arrogant to do. MPK I’m looking at you.

they need to write Nya off. She’s clearly not got home to film and quite frankly I forget about her until she pops up again.

more seema. And even more LTW and her lovely husband. That way they can focus on building the characters.

what I have noticed is they are starting to bring back the lunch/brunch/drinks scenes. The show is much better for it. Perhaps the lack of it in season 1 was because of Covid. But as soon as they started bringing those scenes back the show immediately felt more familiar

100% agree with all of this. I loved the Met Gala pomp in episode one, that felt like the SATC that we know and love

Agree with all of this, the Aidan arse clause made me chuckle.
