‘And Just Like That’ season 3— Thread 3

Thread 2

Lisa said her dad died in season 1. What was the point of Bitsy if they didn't mention her kid or husband. Just a commercial for consumption and Tiffany. This is becoming a slog. Eat the rich

Let’s face facts. This show sucks without me.

What’s his name on the left has had a lot of work done on his face.

Can’t believe no one has mentioned the Post-it note throwback. I thought that was a nice subtle nod.

Bad episode. Boring. Lisa and Charlotte had amateur hour level acting. Carrie freaks out over a banana/yogurt/coke in the previous episode and in this episode is completely unfazed by her boyfriend cheating.

What did the post it say? They're writing this series like the audience and the characters are octogenarians yet I can't see the text messages or post it writing.

It just saying “Going to Scranton,” but it was a clear nod to Berger’s breakup post-it. Carrie gave it a little pause that seemed to be a wink and a nod.

Last week's episode was written and directed by the same 2 people who are credited for this week.. So why was this week such shit?

They’re saying LTW’s dad might be gay and one of her two dads previously died

How much did TUMS pay for the double product placement in this week's episode?

It’s possible for a person to have two dads. I have my biological dad who was always in my life but was raised by my mother and stepfather, who many call my dad as he raised me since I was 2.

I liked the episode a lot.

I'm going with GAY with the theater connection

The last scene in Walgreens worked a lot better than it should've.

R15 Did I miss a plot point? Why is Carrie wolfing down Tums? Is this a set up of some health crisis for her?

Sympathetic cancer

^Cuz the Thatcher biographer downstairs apparently makes her mutton stew all the time and it fucks with her acid reflux.

Also Carrie has acid reflux because her terrible jokes scar her throat

"The Pebble and the Post-it" - a short story.

R16 maybe pay attention as you watch. It’s very clear you don’t.

She states the mutton her downstairs neighbor makes her causes her acid reflux to go wild. Also a common sign of getting older is heartburn.

R11 It’s all the KFC.

It has officially crossed into shit show territory now.

Maybe she'll have a heart attack climbing the spiral staircase and smile and whisper, "Big"

Aiden is the worst. I hate when he's in a scene.

At least Charlotte knows how to cry properly - when filmed from behind.

R23, posting from Season 1.

They are really trying hard to turn Carrie into Frieda Claxton.

The "bid over" apartment Seema showed Miranda was really nice.

[quote]Maybe she'll have a heart attack climbing the spiral staircase and smile and whisper, "Big"

Hush, hush, sweet Carrie, Carrie, don't you cry

Hush, hush, sweet Carrie, He'll love you till he dies

Oh, hold him, darling, please hold him tight and brush the tear from your eyes

You weep because you had a dream last night, you dreamed that he said goodbye

He held two roses within his hand, two roses he gave to you

The red rose tells you of his passion, the white rose his love's so true

Hush, hush, sweet Carrie, Carrie, don't you cry

Hush, hush, sweet Carrie, he'll love you till he dies

And every night after he shall die, yes, every night when he's gone

The wind will sing to you this lullaby:

Hush, hush, sweet Carrie, Carrie, don't you cry

Hush, hush, sweet Carrie, he'll love you till he dies

A lot of the recappers are shocked that Carrie is so accepting of Aiden hooking up with his ex-wife. But lots of exes have sex one-offs, especially when there is drama concerning ome of theor kids happening. And anyway, Carrie never thought their arrangement meant they couldn’r sleep with others.

The fact that she wasn’t outraged by Aiden’s (tiresome) confession indicates she’s increasingly fed up with his unrealistic, compulsive behavior and is comtemplating sleeping with Duncan. I mean we’ve known where this was going ever since Duncan returned to his apartment.

Why does Carrie refuse to commit to her new place and actually furnish it? Any person who could afford such an expensive place would have hired an interior designer the second they closed on the property.

R28, now I know who she looks like!

They're probably setting it all up so she can return to her old place - and thrill the fraus. But they could do that even if she did furnish her place.

Charlotte's over the top weeping and worrying about prostate cancer that has a 98% success rate is bizarre. She needs to worry more about the migrants who are being persecuted by Mayor Adams and Tom Holman.

Do Carrie and Aiden have an open relationship?

According to Carrie, yes. Aiden, no.

She said to him "I can't believe we haven't talked about this until now." She was actually right when she pointed out, "you expect me to wait five years and not sleep with anyone else."

[quote]She needs to worry more about the migrants who are being persecuted by Mayor Adams and Tom Holman.

Don't let retard R35 write any episodes, it's enough of a shitshow as it is.

R11 especially in the drug store where Tums took up what seemed half the store space, with every size and variety of Tums ever produced was sitting on perfectly lined, filled shelves.

Has Carrie slept with anyone else besides Aiden? I forget

R12 sure but why are we even having to discuss it. She said her dad was dead in season one. If another person with a dad or “dad -like “ role in her life dies and it’s a big deal they should explain who he is.

Ding ding!

Nicole Ari Parker was terrible on the latest episode. Sorry.

Nicole was bad. And I usually think she’s good.

I think Cynthia Nixon is one of the most physically repellant people on earth. The teeth. The red hair. She looks like that disgusting kid at school who was double jointed.

It’s runner-up to her spouse, if that’ your standard.

R43: Pretty face, no talent.

Carrie and Aidan need to do a Miranda and Steve and have a heartbreaking, final break-up for good this time.

I find it hard to believe Aiden’s ex would still want to tap that.

Rojo Caliente needs to come on as a guest star

Nicole Ari Parker was fine. She seemed disconnected though, like she was phoning it in. And I don’t blame her

This sounds more fun than anything we see on the show.

read WHET the real Big:

Good article, but the real Mr. Big is somewhat underwhelming. Plus, I wonder what he thinks of Bushnell’s mining a whole career out of what sounds like a brief fling with no real relationship.

He tells us in the article, no? Neither he nor Bushnell express anything other than some goodwill towards each other.

The LTW character does not come off as particularly intelligent. She seems way more like any shallow, scattered socialite.

What are you talking about, R55, she's producing a documentary - she must be smart.

A producer is good getting money.

At least Ari Nicole Parker’s wig was better in this episode. The one she wore in the past two was horrendous. Maybe she chose it to distract the audience from her phone-it-in performance.

R57 not upfront she’s not, especially for a doc. Your comment makes no sense. And, she’s the director.

[quote] Any person who could afford such an expensive place would have hired an interior designer the second they closed on the property.

And there's one person right for that job: Grace Adler. At this point, they may as well dial up the ridiculousness to the max.

For the love of God, if this thing is going to continue, get rid of Aiden.

Or cancel it and make a spin-off starring Ms. Jenifer Lewis of the St. Louis Lewises.

Just when I thought this bitch couldn’t get any uglier. There is nothing great about abortion nor does it feel great to the woman experiencing it.

What happened to the Columbia Professor. Has she been written out?

Just when I thought Aiden couldn’t get more annoying, he starts throwing rocks at antique windows.

Who does that?

Why is Carrie dating this loser?

R63 Two colorful friends were enough.

R62-Absolute cunt. She makes me ill.

R63: She took a job with the American Law Institute. Funny how the two token diversity characters (Nya, Che) that served as accessories for Miranda are no longer.

Get your MAGA ass the fuck off DataLounge, R62. There is nothing “ugly” or even controversial about Cynthia Nixon’s outrage at Trump’s cancel of funds to Planned Parenthood. We’re not the kind of hicks who follow Parade magazine, let alone agree with their political timidity, dearie, so go back to your Republican women’s discussion groups.

What IS ugly is your constant personal insults and disparagment of an actress whose progressive politics you object to.

Again, you’re barking up the wrong tree here, go piss somewhere else.

[quote]Why does Carrie refuse to commit to her new place and actually furnish it? Any person who could afford such an expensive place would have hired an interior designer the second they closed on the property.

It appears she bought two sofas, yet for some reason, they were still wrapped in plastic.

I had to laugh when Carrie opened her medicine cabinet for the Tums. All of her products were drug store staples (Neutrogena, Pond's cold cream). I guess they want us to believe this bitch is still an everywoman at heart, despite owning a $10 million home.

It was surprising to see Seema at Chauncey's funeral. In three seasons, Seema and Lisa have only been in two or three group scenes together, and I'm not sure if they have even shared any dialogue. Yes, Charlotte and Lisa are good friends, but it was funny that Lisa had all her...acquaintances seated with the family.

It just shows you how poorly they have integrated Lisa with the other characters (other than Charlotte) and the series itself. And it doesn't help that her main story (this neverending PBS docu-series) is deathly boring.

On the positive side, this season has had some strong female guest stars (Rosie, Cheri Oteri, Jenifer Lewis), so I hope LuPone continues that streak next week.

Are socialites dressed to the nines at all times? It’s so ridiculous

R68 = Rojo Caliente

Not even close, R70. Their modern version spends the day in a much more dressed down, stealth wealth look. Sometimes it’s very elevated athleisure, sometimes it’s an easy breezy look that actually costs thousands. It’s very rare to see even the fanciest women in a dress and heels at 10am, unless they are going to an event.

They are not socialites!

[quote]He tells us in the article, no?

No, he doesn’t.

He makes some bland “she’s a great gal” comments but says nothing about her parlaying their “story” into a 25-year-career.

R74, I mean he's clearly excited about it. He named his farm and other shit, Mr Big. I got a bunch of thumbs down on reddit saying he was cute enough and if he was funny, I'd've fucked him too. But now that I've read the article, he seems like a big douche too.

R62's mama should have sluiced her out when she had the chance. The world would have been far better off.
