In the last thread, someone mentioned Aiden was rumored to beat Carrie in the season finale. Abd while we may not believe the writers plan, if you listen to theur podcast, whether we like what they've done or not, they do claim they intentionally put things in that end up coming back several episodes later. Well, in the first episode this season, remember that Carrie's kitchen door alarm kept going off and she didn't even check it--she woukd just call the alarm company abd tell them it was another false alarm. Nothing came of that. Yet..If true that Aiden doesn't take the breakup well. . .I wonder if that damn alarm is going to start going off again. "The woman regretted her choice to ignore the alarm ringing in her ears."

SJP’s looks always felt very New York to me. There are many women here who are not classic beauties but who shape and style themselves in ways that work for them. Through clothes and makeup and the way they carry themselves, they create an image that is in some ways more intimidating than traditional good looks.

I have it on very good authority this is indeed the last season. It’s too expensive. So relish these last few episodes because you won’t have SJ to kick around much longer! Clearly Duncan is going to be end game for Carrie which I’m ok with given how excruciatingly awful Aidan was in this reboot.

by Anonymousreply 36July 27, 2025 11:22 AM

Some of you seem like you're complaining about shit just for the sake of posting. I agree it's no SATC but to say no one would remember cross-eyed Cohen playing the same role? Maybe you wouldn't but many fans got it the minute he showed up and were relieved that his one or two lines was the extent of it. And upthread or toward the end of the last thread, someone who definitely needs a new hobby ranted for multiple paragraphs about how LTWs family would never have Little Debbie products. Really? The show has its flaws but to try to make that an example of its bad writing is sort of ludicrous. Have you ever been in a rich person's pantry? It's not all caviar and cookies flown over from France.

I know she gets a lot of shit here, but I thought SJP looked amazing in that last shot of Carrie walking to the restaurant.

The last two episodes were likely written and produced as a single episode, but were split up after production. They both have the same two writers and same director. That would explain the short running times and why inane plots (Seema's deodorant, Charlotte's vertigo) were carried over for another episode.

I'm glad Carrie and Aiden are finally over, but this season has been marred by this odious relationship. With only three episodes left, they waited waaay too long to get rid of Aiden.

I can see how it would be very expensive to film. It’s filmed in NY and I’m sure the three main actresses are very well compensated. Nevertheless, it’s one of the top viewed shows on HBO Max, and I hate to tell DLers, it’s not being hate-watched like we do.

by Anonymousreply 60July 27, 2025 7:04 PM

I know it's lame but this ChatGPT treatment is pretty good. At least at the level of the current writers.

“And Just Like That – The Movie”

Tagline: The past isn’t dead. It’s just waiting for a second act.

ACT I: A CITY CHANGED • Opening Montage: A glossy, piano-led sweep over New York in flux — climate protests, tech billionaires, tent cities in SoHo. Voiceover from Carrie: “The city that never sleeps? Lately, it feels like it never stops screaming.” • Carrie Bradshaw is now hosting a podcast-turned-streaming show about love after 60, but her relevance is waning. • Charlotte is deep into DEI-driven chaos at her elite prep school — she discovers her daughter Lily has launched an OnlyFans account “for piano technique.” • Miranda is back in Brooklyn, trying to write a memoir about quitting drinking — but she’s blocked and awkwardly cohabitating with Che, whose standup special has been canceled for being “insufficiently queer.” • Enter SKIPPER: Once Miranda’s puppy-eyed boyfriend, now an articulate, shaggy-bearded homeless philosopher ranting in Union Square about “algorithmic affection.” Carrie runs into him — he recognizes her instantly. He’s brilliant, embittered, and somehow still tender.

ACT II: SHADOWS OF THE NEXT GENERATION • Brady returns from Amsterdam with Wyatt, a jittery, brooding young man with a MAGA hat, an AR-15 obsession, and a barely concealed rage at “being erased.” Miranda is horrified, Charlotte suggests therapy, Carrie writes a column titled “Red Flags & Red Hats.” • Wyatt’s arc builds ominously: he’s obsessed with incel forums and becomes increasingly threatening toward Lily, whom he accuses of “selling herself to the woke elite.” He begins stockpiling weapons in Brady’s old room. • Skipper’s monologues become a hit on TikTok. The girls are torn between helping him and wondering if he’s dangerous. Samantha (via Zoom) wires money and says, “Just buy him a brownstone and get it over with.”

ACT III: COLLISION COURSE • Charlotte organizes a benefit gala for “Art & Empathy” at her school — the perfect storm for drama. All characters converge. • Wyatt shows up with a weapon, triggered by Lily’s speech on gender and art. Tense standoff. Skipper intervenes, quoting Proust, disarming Wyatt emotionally and physically. • Carrie’s final narration: “Love isn’t always the answer — but sometimes, it’s the distraction that buys time until someone smarter shows up.”

EPILOGUE: CLOSURE OR SOMETHING LIKE IT • Wyatt is in psychiatric care. Brady begins therapy and deletes Reddit. • Skipper is offered a book deal and moves in with Carrie “temporarily.” • Miranda publishes her memoir: “Still Learning.” • Charlotte embraces Lily’s viral fame and markets piano-themed lingerie. • Samantha returns in person. Says nothing. Lights a cigarette. Fade to black.

I believe the original SATC is a reason why so many adults today act like middle-schoolers well into their forties and fifties. It was sort of a cultural turning point. Before it, there weren’t that many shows or movies that depicted characters living for conspicuous consumption and self-centered pleasure. Yes, it was always built around the notion of love, but that was almost more of a plot device to get the women together and out in the city. The underlying idea, still playing out in their sixties, is this idea that putting on an outfit and having a social life is above all else. Sometimes that works out, but it usually ages better in media than in real life.

They need to give Che an alter ego, Mae, a predatory lesbian with a thing for uptight WASPs. She can go after Charlotte and fingerblast her to climax-either at the gallery, or in the Goldenblatt kitchen while Harry rests from surgery in the other room. Then Charlotte can lose her shit like Miranda and dump her husband and kids.

I'm thinking that Kristin Davis has had some lipo - there were two shots of her walking away from camera in trousers and her barge-arse looked not as massive as usual.

Carrie's massive house has been furnished overnight with no explanation.

Was Duncan's publisher his ex-wife? I zoned out for a while there.

SJP looked fabulous in the plain grey suit that Carrie ditched for the Vivienne Westwood mess for the date with Duncan.

Giuseppe's accent is way too much - I checked and the actor was born in Boston. He might want to tone it down a smidge.

Loved some of Carrie’s furniture and her closets.

SJP does look better because for most of the episode—save going to the party—she had a warm rosy beige eyeshadow and know black kohl. Her eyes looked bigger and sparkled more. Loved her big turquoise sweater.

The puppet guy did seem like something out of SATC.

Duncan's issues (ex-wife as editor) could have taken up a whole episode and would have been more interesting than his business-like parting with Carrie.

Davis looks different in every shot--I think its filters when she dominates the shot.

The resolution of the garden guy's mother issues in one scene seems unrealistic, even for this show. Seema is not that desirable for anything more than a fling.

Steve freaking out was so out of character and badly done, but Miranda being a Lucy Ricardo-like perv is the sort of thing we'd expect from Carrie. Hopefully, Miranda gets back her self-respect before the end of the series. I can see why Brady had to be drunk to have sex with this woman.

A few things.

The show does seem to be finding its voice. But it’s too little too late. And it does sort of feel like they are building to a series finale.

I’ve always been bothered by how the show makes Carrie some famous New Yorker when it’s convenient and a stranger when it’s not. Sure, it was someone in publishing, but when Carrie walked into that party, the woman reacted like she were Scarlett Johansson.

I was impressed with Mario Cantone’s body. I’m not attracted to him, but he’s keeping it tight.

Adam and Seema seem like they are in a completely different show, even more than LTW. Not only do I not buy the relationship or find it all that interesting, I don’t even buy that they live in the same Manhattan as the other others.

I wonder what the ratings have been like? They supposedly started out high but if there ‘s been evident dropoff since season 2, I can see that, combined with the evident plot drift (none of these character’s stories have grown much since season one revelations about where they were in their lives) nobody here is getting any younger, and certainly King and Parker don’t need the money. Nixon has another regular gig which gives her more leeway to stretch her acting muscles — she’s been excellent on “The Gilded Age.”

So really, why keep it up if you don’t have strong ideas about where you want these women’s lives to go, and fatigue seems to have set in on both sides of the camera?

by Anonymousreply 313August 1, 2025 10:14 PM

Def cancelled.

Announcing the end with two eps left is not the distributor playbook; you announce that prior to the final season to gin up interest so the audience is savoring every episode. That’s always how it works. Scarcity builds interest. And you want to give your cast and creatives the full season to do a victory lap.

You also don’t waste time this late in the run with silly plots… you’re too busy building up to happy endings that attempt to tie it all up.

(Truthfully, if they’d known this was the final season, they would have minimized the two ancillary characters or made big moves to better integrate them so to end with a tight-knit group.)

MPK is doing the Comeback season three for HBO. They are allowing him to save face. (They ought to be looking over his shoulder at the scripts for season three) They also want to help SJP save face because she’s part of the brand.

I have suck mixed feelings about everything SATC. I was obsessed with the original run. Watched form episode one. I think I was the only one who watched Arliss, and the premiere came on either after or before it, so I discovered by accident and was hooked. I went to Best Buy the day the box sets for at least the first three seasons were released and watched every episode over and over.

But—I think it contributed to some of the most annoying things about modern NYC. It sort of democratized excess so that everyone felt like the wanted or needed or even had to be “fabulous.” Not smart or interesting, at least not first and foremost. The virtue became this very one-note idea that the show helped push (unwittingly in the beginning and then deliberately as the seasons/movies went on).

I remember SJP saying in some interview that Matthew would routinely point to something in the city and tease her, “you did that.” I would agree. I think there’s a direct line between SATC culture and the vapid influencers who have created 90 minute lines at the most basic places.

They could have been kind to the Samantha character. Even if they hated Kim Cattrall, the fans adore her. They also could have done sooo much better for Sanford too. Even if the actor didn’t want the character to die, his story could have made so much more sense

The additional characters that were either hated or made no sense. The only character that made a bit of sense was Seema. The last two episodes, the actor looked like she was phoning in her performance

I actually liked Carrie in this episode and wish she could have been like this the entire season. That whole shit with Aiden was so unpleasant, and they stupidly devoted 3/4 of the season to it.

Charlotte's energy cleanse was, of course, dumb, but somehow ended on a moving note.

Lisa's mother-in-law is a legit cunt. And not in a funny Mother Jefferson kind of way. Also, did a single viewer give a fuck about the comptroller election? What was the point of all that? The writers had three seasons to integrate Lisa with the rest of the characters and totally failed. Even her interactions with Charlotte have been limited this season.

The first season of AJLT felt like wokeness gone amuck, with every possible element thrown in to create a feel-good narrative. For example, Miranda returning to school with a Black professor, inadvertently sitting in her chair, and then being surprised to meet her was just one of many instances.

I think Cynthia Nixon was a bigger problem than MPK. His job, and actually SJP's job, was to say, Cynthia, we get it, you want to express your authentic self and also diversify the storylines. But no, we are not going to go fucking overboard and pretend that on top of your late-in-life never hinted at lesbianism we're also going to get a fucking "they" and pretend that everyone in the universe will fall in love with them.

In the old days, the cast almost never saw the EP: and the day to day management of the show was managed by the producer. Some shows had regular directors which gave them more influence, but many had a different director every week.

Someone like Harry Ackerman at Screen Gems or Sheldon Leonard back in the 60s/70s was involved in shaping the direction of a new show and interacted with the network and sponsors, but in an executive capacity, not on a daily basis.

Absolutely R400. That some DLers are still using the by now stale RWNJ-manufactured uses of "woke" and "DEI" as derogatory, well, it's a little try-hard on their part. AJLT had a lot of problems overall, one of which was, yes, trying to throw in the cast too many unique characters in order to reflect how society itself is rapidly evolving and expanding in the way people of all ages change and/or how they choose to express an identity (however temporary that identity). Like it or not, that's the direction the world is going. While stuffing a show too full of those types of characters is annoying, a complete lack of those types would be laughably out of touch.

Something nice to say about the most recent episode: SJP looks great with a side-parted hairstyle. She should keep doing that as it eases the angularity and thinness of her face and brings a softness overall to her features. I thought she looked amazing throughout and didn't pick up on the side-part at first. That middle part she usually wears, or the severe ponytail are too austere and prim, and that ages her.

MPK and the writers only have themselves to blame. All viewers wanted was a show about the core three (if not four) living as women in their fifties and sixties. There are countless compelling stories about what their “fabulous” lives look like at that age. When sex is of less interest. When you can start to feel invisible. When children are grown and your life changes purpose. They didn’t capture any of it, at least not well.

The main problem is that AJLT, unlike the original is, basically, four or five shows with independent characters, with none of them having a particularly interesting storyline.

Seema in a relationship nobody gives a shit about, least of all her. Everybody lining up to laugh at the loser in a comptroller election, like they really gave a shit. What the hell? Carrie's stupid book that even her publisher thinks is just stupid and needs a real ending and not just more of her purple prose. But I'd watch another season of this nonsense all the same.

I guess we should take bets as to how it all ends?

Will Aiden reappear? He was sort of unceremoniously given the hook.

Will they try to pair SJP up with Victor Garber’s character? Otherwise, what was the point of bringing back that truly obscure character in this weeks episode?

A Thanksgiving episode seems like how you’d end a season, but not a series. I do wonder if they were caught by surprise by the cancellation.

Not only did I acknowledge that, R524, but I myself used to preorder a pie from Two Little Red Hens on the UES every Thanksgiving before they closed. My point is that if they let Carrie walk in and place an on-the-spot order, despite the preordering system we all acknowledge, then it seemed weird for the writers to direct the Jackie Hoffman snarl at two other women, as if they were nasty villains, for simply overhearing and wanting to add a few more pies to the mix. To me, it just seemed like weird writing that chose to aggrandize Carrie, the benevolent pie maven on the upper east side, for no real purpose.

by Anonymousreply 536August 9, 2025 11:58 AM

It’s pretty obvious the cancellation came as a surprise and not a long-planned farewell to the franchise, so they cobbled together a couple of episodes to play like a finale—hence this week’s weird and truncated episode. Prepare to be underwhelmed by the last episode.

Exactly. If anything, they should have written the two women as being annoyed that Carrie was taking too much time ordering and that they were in a hurry, etc. Then Jackie could have snarked at them and said something like, she can take all the time she needs. She practically kept me in business during the lockdown, blah blah blah…

Anthony’s young/hung Italian boyfriend proposing in the same dressing room at Bergdorf's where Trump allegedly assaulted E. Jean Carroll felt like a spectacularly tacky choice.

Mario Cantone’s ass/body is in great shape for a man his age. The problem with his look is the flat black shoe polish dye in his hair and beard. A slightly lighter brown and a bit of judicious grey would soften his look considerably in the same way softer makeup, brighter blond hair and a side part have done wonders for Sarah Jessica Parker in the last few episodes.

The pies. They wanted to make Carrie seem admirable for supporting local businesses during Covid, but then, Jackie said, "And she didn't even pick them up. They sat on the self till they turned green!" It would have been better if she had said, "And then, she donated them to a homeless shelter!"

I thought Carrie owned Duncan's apt. Seema had told her, "It takes years to evict someone in NYC, so we'll just have to kill him." Anyhow, not only would buying the ground apt. be a smart financial decision (which Seema mentioned), but Carrie would control who lived under her and who had access to her garden (which Seema did not mention).

Carrie's editor pulled the same happy ending bullshit with her book about Big's death.

Miranda was psychotic to ask Mia to Thanksgiving without telling Brady. Maybe that's what made Joy so unnerved and not the actual Miranda and Brady shouting match? That this woman likes to create unnecessary drama.

That promo title card made it obvious next week's ep was supposed to be a SEASON finale. The best we can hope for is that Carrie is content with being single and hopeful about the future. Oh, and THAT LISA FINSHES THAT GODDAMN DOCUMENTARY .

Ideas for next week. They need a cliffhanger to get Quibi or Hulu to pick it up:

Che Diaz goes schizo titso! Blaming Carrie and Miranda for the loss of their podcast and sitcom, they lure Miranda and Carrie to their Air Bnb, lock the two of them inside, and set it on fire.

Carrie is pregnant! Who is the father-Aiden, Duncan or Che Diaz?

Anthony and Giuseppe get married at Tavern on the Green, but the ceremony is interrupted by a gun toting Che Diaz and their band of militant trans henchpersons, who start shooting indiscriminately-who will live? Who will die?

Che Diaz is down and out. Their stand up career has dried up, so they’re working as a Horse and Buggy driver in Central Park and living in a dump with their horse’s sleazy boyfriend, George Hamilton. Che notices how much the horse looks like Carrie. After hearing that Carrie has sold her home, Che decides to make their move. They have Carrie kidnapped and held captive,, guarded by sleazy George Hamilton, and has the horse impersonate Carrie so Che and the horse can drain Carrie’s bank accounts. It takes Carrie and Miranda 8 episodes to realize the horse isn’t Carrie. Meanwhile, poor Carrie is trying to stop George Hamilton from feeling her up.

The last scene is going to be Carrie waking up and hearing the shower running., the morning after Thanksgiving.Confused and groggy, she opens the shower door-Big turns around, and says “good morning.”

When the show picks back up again on Quibi, we find out that Carrie had a horrible dream-in it, Big died; Miranda is a lesbian and divorced Steve after getting a vigorous fingerbanging from Carrie’s nonbinary coworker; Stanford took off for Japan; Samantha hates her. Big assures her it was just a long , bad dream.

The producers decide they liked some of the actors from And Just Like That, so they keep them around in new roles. Sarita Choudhury plays Carrie’s sassy maid. Sebastiano Pigazzi plays the pissy gay parent at the private school Charlotte’s kids go to, who is always trying to one up Charlotte. Patti LuPone plays the bag lady with Tourette’s living outside Steve and Miranda’s house, who yells “FUCKING DYKE CUNT” at Miranda every time she walks by.
