‘And Just Like That…’ - Thread 4

Unfortunately, I don't think we've seen the last of Aidan.

MAKE IT STOP!!!!!

I want Aidan to show up periodically, only to throw rocks through her precious, one-of-a-kind, never to be duplicated windows.

^"Want" or "Wanted"??

Bring back David Duchovny/crazy high school boyfriend!

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."

[quote]In the last thread, someone mentioned Aiden was rumored to beat Carrie in the season finale.

At last: a reason to go on living!

Geez that would be like beating a dead...... You know

This and her hair is really sad at this point.

Where’s Kim?!

Are they dressed for a funeral in OP and if so, why are they laughing?

Her hair is so thin. This is why they tell women over a certain age not to keep their long.

*theirs

I bet her house will be decorated to open the next episode.

Or - and I wouldn't put this above the writers - she somehow makes it back to her beloved apartment - if not this season, then next if there's another. I don't need that call back.

HBO should announce the final, abbreviated season.

Aiden can break into Carries place when Miranda is back for an overnight wandering nude through the hallways. FTC gets involved and the series is done for good.

Hello, Aidan. I'm just here to get nekkid and eat all Carrie's yogurt.

What are you here for?

R14: They know they can't do anymore movies. This is all SJP has left. She can't let this franchise go. People will hate watch in droves so this thing will go on forever until she says otherwise.

20 years from now, this old horse, the ginger dyke and the other one will still be playing these characters in an assisted living facility, with Carrie wearing orthopedic Manolo Blahnik slippers.

R15. Aiden has already seen Mawanda naked. Once was enough.

Carrie could be 90 and still written as if she's the most desirable woman in all of New York

What was the purpose of the Andy Cohen cameo? Is he dying? Was this his Gay Make a Wish?

R22, I have no memory of this, but he played the same shoe salesbottom in Season 6 of SATC.

Aidan should be killed off in a murder suicide involving Wyatt

I’m hate watching. But now I’m boring hate watching. At least with Che, it was fun hate watching. Bring it back!

When I scrolled down I thought the guy's head behind Carrie was a crazy looking hat.

They should bring back Skippers as a drunk on the fringes when Miranda relapses and goes to an AA meeting

I hate cameos that have to be explained by the internet. No one would have remembered Andy playing this non-speaking role twenty plus years ago. It’s a stupid indulgence built for 2025. Like the show itself.

Her house has no furniture, except she conveniently has a bed in her spare bedroom.

Carrie and Mariska (Oleevia) occupy a special place in DL’s heart.

SJP has been looking better these last few episodes. She finally had something done.

The lot of you seem like you’d be the life of a party.

SJP looks good. She never been. Classic beauty but for hos she looks she’s aged well. I think she’s cute and has a nice body

SJP had a smokin body and perky tits in season one of SATC. By the middle of season 2 she started looking too thin but very toned. Now she looks well preserved.

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.

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.

R36, that would surprise me because they usually announce the end of a long-running show in advance of their final season.

R36 = bitter, unemployed Kim Cattrall.

She had a bed in the spare bedroom so that a guest who is eating “house yogurt” has a place to sleep!

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.

R41, you realize the show employs a team of VFX experts would digitally enhance the show’s stars, right?

Where’s the link to the previous thread?

Andy Cohen also played a shirtless patron at a gay bar. Hopefully he will NOT be recreating that.

R42 Kristin and Cynthia each got 10 million a piece for the first two seasons. I’m sure it’s risen to this third season

Her new garden is so shitty, it didn't even register to me that it was finished. I'm convinced the gardner is just some hobo who murdered the real landscaper and assumed his identity

R47 If that's true then let's hope he murders Seema next.

recast FAYE as Samantha Jones!! The campaign starts here, BITCHES!

R49. Love the idea of FAYE as Samantha. She can walk into Carrie's new home and scream NOW TEAR THAT BITCH OF A BEARING WALL DOWN AND PUT A WINDOW WHERE A WINDOW OUGHT TO BE!

[quote] SJP looks good. She never been. Classic beauty but for hos she looks she’s aged well.

Mafuckin'!

The thought of FAYE squaring up to Kristin Davis, worlds worst actress, is sending me over the edge.

r46

Do you mean 10 million per season or 5 for each which equals 10

Even the Aussie media is trashing the show.

They've done so much shit to Cantone's Anthony in this iteration I'm sure the only thing he'll miss is the money.

Knives out! Patti haz the worst Buffalo-Milanese accent on record.

R3, comments like your's are why I can't quit Datalounge.

They should brig in Al Bundy as a shoe salesman to jump the ultimate shark.

R26, there is always hope for "And Just Like That - The MOVIE".

Kill us now^

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’m puzzled - no, I’m stupefied - by those of you saying SJP looks good.

Have you seen OP’s pic? It looks like maggots are burrowing into the skin around her eyes. That plus the Trumpy orange skin on her face and chest, well, I find her look frightening.

She’s only 60. Not 80.

Well, she chose between her ass and her face. Whether she chose wisely is up for interpretation.

Matthew B is s chub with addiction issue, and prowls the WV. She’s born & bred in Appalachian Ohio.

Is r36 the same person who said Aiden would beat Carrie?

R49 Sextette and the City?

SJP has been looking decent lately. She still has a great body, too.

The article at R54 is an awesome takedown of it all.

Or you can stop policing people’s silly thoughts on a silly show. This so DL. It’s what makes it great.

And yes, I have been in many Park Avenue parents’ pantries. Rich parents in 2025 do not allow Little Debbie in the house.

Who knows what lurks on the shelves of their bulemic daughters’ closets?

I thought the guest room was where Shoe sleeps. It is according to the video in the last thread which toured Carrie's house.

Who greenlit Andy Cohen? Honestly, a young gay actor trying to earn a SAG card would have been perfect for the role—but no, Andy Cohen had to take the job. It’s pretty disappointing when you think about it. Not exactly your most ‘woke’ move, SJP.

AJLT provides employment to many NYC actors, crew, etc. I loathe Andy Cohen but he's not taking a job away from anyone. He's friends with SJP and they thought it would be a cute nod to the original.

Aidan was always the better choice.

But our Carrie wasn't into KFC and having a boyfriend who loved her instead of one that just ran off to Paris and got engaged to a 25-year-old.

Was Big always going to be written out or did off screen stuff hasten his demise?

r74

I think all the Chris Noth stuff came out after... I think Big was always dying. I don't think CN wanted to continue with the character

There was nowhere to go with Big.

There never was

Noth agreed to come back for two episodes. He was cut out of the second one which took place in Paris

How many episodes in this season? Thr last episode⁷ i watched was the one where Miranda three the bottle of liquor down the chute

12.

R79 rR80

There was just SO much story to tell!

R64-What is a WV?????

West Virginia?

R41 i actually read a lot of scenes were cut in the last two episodes. A lot of scenes with the other characters, including Duncan. Allegedly they trimmed it down to shorter times so less silly subplot and more focus on Carrie

Chris Noth originally declined coming back. He only agreed to come back for 2 episodes in agreement they kill him off so they can never invite him back again.

Big's death was going to be the plot of SATC 3, along with a 14 year old Brady sending dick pics to Samantha.

West Village, Rose—you’re that dense?

r84, did the cut scenes include the one where Aidan slaps the everloving fuck out of Carrie's face? I was promised that scene in the last thread.

In another throwback, Reddit is saying that Little Cathy will make an appearance in the finale.

A magic Pall Mall sends her to see Wyatt in Virginia.

Has Patti LuPone gotten on a plane and returned to Buffalo or Rome yet? I actually feel sorry for her for taking that role. I’m sure there were tears among her team once she finished and realized what a truly unflattering character she had played.

Chris Noth must not need the money. I betcha they were paying him a lot to play Big

R90 doubtful. She’s an actress.

John Corbett is still handsome. Carrie/SJP looks like an old witch in comparison.

Yes, R93. She is so ugly. She looks like vomit

You rang r93

Patti actually gave an interview (I believe it might have been the torched earth one that ruined her career) where she THANKED Michael Patrick King for such a glorious role.

Maybe it read better than what came of it, but she really should sue.

[Quote] Chris Noth must not need the money.

Does he have any career options? I thought he was cancelled.

R91. Maybe he didn't need the money then but I'm sure he took a hit financially after the scandal broke and he was fired from The Equalizer.

Looks like he still co-owns a bar in NYC.

The Rapeatorium?

You folks overestimate his salary potential, even in the good years.

His”wealth” came from steady L&O work.

I know AJLT exists in world of pure fantasy, but if they wanted to inject a little realism then Duncan would continue to enjoy Carrie’s attention but then take up with a younger woman.

I saw Noth in the West Village on the street some 7 years ago. He looked like shit.

I always found him ugly with his tired eyes.

Was that WV?

Interestingly, HBO has just renewed the Gilded Age during its current season but nothing about this dumpster fire.

I expect it to get renewed because of the volume of hate watching, but it’s interesting.

Not really.

Waiting on quarterly numbers

Yes R104.

After hate-watching nine episodes of this current season of the execrable AJLT, I’m more convinced than ever that there needs to be a permanent ban on depictions in all visual media of sexual activity involving people over the age of 50. Seriously. It’s just disturbing.

excrement*

FIFY

R108: “ I’m more convinced than ever that there needs to be a permanent ban on depictions in all visual media of sexual activity involving people over the age of 50”

Did you mean “over the age of 5”?

Hate-watching isn’t actually a thing. Can the person born in 2005 please get a job?

The Gilded Age on HBO announced renewal for season four after episode six of the eight episode season three… yet crickets so far for And Just Like That.

R112-Because in 2 years, those women are going to look like Coach leather handbags.

I believe the last renewal of AJLT came after the season ended. So, who knows.

They need to renew for a fourth and FINAL season of 6 episodes to tie everything up.

That old horse will never stop beating this old horse.

If Max will have her, she will have Carrie swanning around Manhattan as a 90year old in a ridiculous outfit.

It's successful in terms of viewers, whether people are hate watching or not. So, I'd be surprised if it didn't get a fourth season, unless not everyone is on board - like Nixon or someone has had enough. I wonder if they're STILL trying to woo Catrall.

Again, I wrote this upthread but it is definitively not coming back. It’s over. It’s too expensive. Don’t make me reveal my sources but they’re very good.

Why would that gorgeous 29 year old Italian guy want to be with the 66 year old Mario Cantone? Come on, the show isn’t supposed to be science fiction. Or is it?

This is a parallel universe, not based in reality, r119. That is why Seabiscuit Bradshaw was the most desirable woman in all of New York City during SATC’s run.

R113 Michael Kors, is what I think you meant.

I think R115 nailed it. And honestly, all the bad press this season about how everyone is hate watching it and how it’s just become inexplicable be bad cannot possibly be sitting well with SJP, who is all about her brand.

Tie up what? Duncan’s ballsac?

Bea Arthur finished Golden Girls when she was 70.

So I’ve got 10 more years bitches!

Bea Arthur wasn’t pretending to still be in her 30’s..or even 50’s

I look back at the show where BIg and Natasha were at a party at the Hamptons and Carrie's there dressed like a skinny gay cowboy and she throws up in the ocean

but she went back to him again and again and again and again

She may have never grown up but her audience did

We vomit every week now, Again, again and again.

I don't know why they rejected its original name: "Metamucil and the City."

R126 She kept going back to him because she’s a size queen.

She named him, “Big”; We’ve read her writing, she’s not about subtlety or metaphors.

How else can you explain her going to Anthony’s bakery, to consume carbs?

That wasn’t why his nickname was Big.

R119, I'd totally buy it if Mario was masculine and toppy. The under 30 crowd are riddled with daddy issues!

But a mincing, nelly queen? Sorry. It ain't happening.

R131 IKR! It’s the best thing since PrEP.

I read an article a few months back with Chris Noth and he said he needs work as he has bills to pay.

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.

Nutter^

[quote] Before it, there weren’t that many shows or movies that depicted characters living for conspicuous consumption and self-centered pleasure

Excuse you.

“Bea Arthur wasn’t pretending to still be in her 30’s..or even 50’s”

Wasn’t her character supposed to be 60 in the last season? Which would make her pretending to be in her 50s before that?

So-ooooo sick of watching wistful horseface Carrie trapeze around in her stupid-looking clothes and clickety-clack heels. Annoying.

R137 idk. Im not a diehard fan.

Ratings are ratings and they don’t care if the viewers are genuinely enjoying it or not. It will be renewed.

The viewers are flooding HBO MAX with demands that Miranda have more nudity next season and possibly with Rosie the Nun or Che to make people feel more included.

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.

X

XY

XX

- Female

How is she even qualified to be a Booker Prize judge?

She’s not. It was a publicity move. And not a good one.

Steve will be back tomorrow.

Duncan looking sexy.

Are Carrie and Duncan gonna fuck now?

Helen Keller can see that coming r150

Yes, r150, and then he's gonna admit he hates her stupid novel.

Carrie never-nude Bradshaw will fuck sexy Duncan because of course, out of all the women in NYC, it's the old crone in clacky heels who he lusts after.

No, he won’t, SJP will make the script writers spin it so that she rejects him.

Wouldn’t it be just a shock if they simply remain friends? In real life, this is the likely outcome. They don’t strike me as having any romantic chemistry, so this is the direction the show should go in, but of course they won’t.

He is going to marry her and then blow pipe smoke into her face like Barry Lyndon.

R155 don’t you know men can’t be around Carrie without falling for her?

Lots of men with a witch fetish.

I'd hope Duncan would have better taste than to try to fuck this hag.

But he's probably gay anyway.

When he finds out she fucks it’s her bra on, he will dump her.

R160 it wouldn’t make that big a difference unless he’s a breast man. SJP doesn’t have large breasts so it’s whatever.

Someone like Sydney Sweeney refusing to take her bra off would piss off a guy though.

Plot twist: Steve comes back and he’s engaged to Skipper. Miranda’s exes in love, bitching about how they knew she was a lesbian because of her lack of skill and enthusiasm for giving blowjobs.

Maybe the season will end with the three leads being gunned down.

The camera would pull back and the sun would be shining and the birds chirping and pedestrians skipping along with glee.

[quote]Maybe the season will end with the three leads being gunned down. The camera would pull back and the sun would be shining and the birds chirping and pedestrians skipping along with glee.

Let me guess, in your twisted tale, Samantha is the sniper…

Damn those Moldavians! (and who knows, maybe they did have a revolution in those years?)

She'd look so much better with a short hairstyle. That hair is even longer now than it was 25 years ago.

I’m sure this has been discussed one of the AJLT threads, but how much do you think each of the girls are worth on the show?

And just like that I will watch tonight.

For Steve, I will.

R161 I am pretty sure straight guys like breasts and want to interact with them during sex no matter what the size. And SJP’s are bigger than average for an underweight woman.

Carried= 10 million (big’s money)

Charlotte = 5-8 million

Miranda = 1 to 3 million

r170

only 10 million? I would think that new house alone would be at least 15 million... I was thinking she might be in the 50 million range?

Carrie is definitely worth upwards of 50 million

Carrie is worth 300 billion. Charlotte is worth 1 million Miranda is worth $5

I wish I was worth $5

I hope Duncan tells her that a female protagonist in her novel would never be caught dead wearing a scrunchie.

"The woman wondered what she had gotten herself into.

Turns out, it was a scrunchie."

Is that... David Pevsner???

Why would Brady’s having a kid be Charlotte’s problem? Steve should have known better.

We didn’t need to know about Anthony’s boner, although the marionette’s dummy was stranger.

Charlotte getting psychic energy. Does anyone doing “Thoroughly Modern Millie” in this decade.

The gardener has mommy issues.

This is any a documentary but a serious biographer isn’t going to take Carrie seriously.

Why does Anthony have an apartment with a pull out bed? Not even a one bedroom apt? He’s lived in NYC for decades and isn’t a poor

Why does Carrie walk around like she waiting for a lover to show up any minute. Walks around in heels, full make up and in ridiculous outfits

Hasn’t Charlotte heard of Adrienne Shelley that got murdered for shushing a loud construction worker?

Another unfunny, overlong, and all over the place episode.

I did like when Kristin said “fuck Miranda”

My thoughts exactly!

Nicole Ari Parker can't act for shit.

R179 because nyc is expensive and Anthony was never depicted as rich. He was a normal guy. Stanford was from a rich family. Not Anthony.

Big was worth more than fucking $10 million. Retard

R182 her acting is better than a handful on this show yet you always bitch about her. Grow up.

The thing with Duncan end in the most ant-climactic way possible. If she she’s feelings for him, she has to be disappointed it won’t go further.

Did SJP have work done? She looks less haggard or maybe it's just softer hair and makeup.

I just can't picture Brady knocking up a girl. Brady, like his mother, is sorry butt ugly. On the positive side it was nice to see Steve again.

I think the thing with Duncan is supposed to be her growing up and realizing she can be happy without a full-time lover and bf. At least I hope.

Nice that the writers hate Generation Z as much as most Dataloungers..

Agreed R182. It’s embarrassing.

Wasn't the pull out bed at Giuseppe's apt?

At least we saw Italian ass.

Sorry, granma, the kid was stupid to let the hamster out "for a walk." WTF? Get it together, kid, in a hurry, or people will rightly call you stupid, ya moron.

This world is falling apart because parents refuse to call out stupid when it is plainly being demonstrated.

There, these are my boundaries.

Ditto R192. Speaking of ass, I don't get why Adam went half nude in this week's episode but showed his ass two weeks ago.

If Carrie’s manuscript is SJP’s idea of brilliant writing, the Bookers are fucked. It’s DRECK.

Nicole Ari Parker is a wonderful actress who is working with shit material.

I have known a couple of ginger guys as ugly as the guy who plays Brady and I am fairly certain both will die as virgins unless they pay women for sex. They could not have gotten an uglier man for that role.

Susie Essman!

R189 as much as most of the world. They can’t even hold jobs.

Seema and Lisa could both be written out of this series with no impact whatsoever. Their appearances are mainly filler, independent of any interaction with the other three. Other than that, I thought this was great. I can hear all the hatewatchers already pontificating about the puppet but I thought it was hysterical and its first appearance one of the funniest things in the franchise . Duncan is the only great thing this series has given us. There is chemistry there. It's a shame its only showing up just as the show is likely getting canned.

R187 we saw him fucking in season 1… ugly people have kids too.

Carrie said the first thing men notice about her is that she’s sexy and cute.

Ugh, Duncan is so smarmy.

NYC uses ranked-choice for Comptroller… they wouldn’t know the results that fast. 😎

Also, it’s pronounced as”controller”. No P and no M.

R202 she writes only fiction at this point.

R194 retard. That’s the director. Not the actor. They chose to shoot him that way.

But you have the nerve to tell someone they don’t know about how shows work on another thread.

Carrie told Charlotte men notice how sexy she is before anything.

R207: It was Seema you retard.

R208 no. She told Charlotte. Retard

Get a job.

No. It was Seema. I am the retard this time. I mixed up convos

Girls please! You're both retards!

That this show thinks there's any glamour left in publishing is so charmingly quaint.

Random observations:

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.

Well, there was one realistic part. Giuseppe will only move in with Anthony if the alternative is getting murdered by his roommate.

At least they awful table is gone.

Kristin Davis does look thinner. Ozempic? SJP also looked softer and prettier in this episode. See a looks worse every week.

R216 probably lipo. Jesus. Not everyone does Ozempic as that’s longer term and messes up your face

R213 born in Boston to Italian immigrant parents. He’s a first generation American.

He grew up in Manhattan.

The weird puppet guy felt like a throwback to when there would be a one-off guest, usually guys the women were dating, each and every week. Little things like that would make it feel like the old series, but they could be creative and do it in new ways.

New York Times recap.

Another fun episode

Brady’s fb was awful. I’ve heard young women sound just like her and with that attitude.

I love Adam’s apartment. I wonder where it is?

If I never her Steve’s voice again I’d be happy. It’s a mashup of Elmer Fudd and Robby Benson. I’m sure he’s a lovely guy but I can’t stomach him.

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.

I want Duncan to stick around and Miranda to have someone other than Helen Keller dress her.

It was weird seeing Anthony naked for some reason. I don’t picture him as sexual—just funny.

Is this as insipid as SATC was?

It's differently insipid.

Adam’s apt. is supposed to be at Westbeth.

Nice push up bra on Carrie. 😵‍💫

I would love to talk to the intimacy coordinator for the Anthony Guiseppe scenes.

Maybe they're setting it up so that Carrie will move to London and this sad pony of a show (no pun intended) will be finally sent to a glue factory.

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.

The garden is UGLY. Adam is incompetent and clearly an impostor with Norman Bates-level mommy issues. He will kill Seema in the shower.

The Steve Freak Out was a little much. But the Gen Z farting fling with the nonbinary fetus was good.

So why do you hateful, pearl clutching cunts watch this show if you hate it so much?

More Miranda waterboarding please!

Does MPK have an agreement with HBO where Cynthia Nixon has to be humiliated for each show.

It’s beyond bizarre that every week she is put through the most embarrassing situations, this week with the water boarding and farting.

I think it’s based on an audience vote.

R228: Great idea! I'll fuck Duncan brains out.

Brady's fuck buddy was played by nepo baby Ella Stiller.

R230: We can only hope.

R237 That was actually a nice touch. Ella Stiller is Anne Meara’s granddaughter so they’ve kept it all in the Brady family.

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.

Indeed, R236, Samantha returning, snatching Duncan from Carrie, and living happily ever after with him, would be the perfect conclusion of the entire saga.

Indeed, Cantone is in good shape for 66.

Why do they dress SJP in flowing bedsheets. She has a nice figure and looked great in that suit she wore for two seconds.

Harry's cancer was just a plot device to make jokes about big balls.

Is it just a coincidence that when Miranda turned gay she became a total ass, or is there a direct correlation?

Unless Cantone is digitally enhanced.....

Decent episode. Everyone looked great. SJP in particular looked amazing in the three-way call scene.

And what a butt-o-palooza. Cantone's looked hot. I would!

You wood.

FIFY

Butt, butt, he's a TOP!

Sure, Gepetto!

So Brady is having a baby with his cousin?!

BUBBLE BUTT!!!

It’s officially canceled

It’s a terrible show, but I’m sad to see it end.

I kept hoping they’d find a way to really explore how life and friendships change as we age. There’s a lot of material to mine. But they insisted on pretending it was still all about hot sex and $2000 shoes. Amusing, but disappointing.

The worst show in the world is ending and yet, it’s upsetting!

How will we get through the day without seeing Cynthia Nixon humiliated at every turn!

The show isn’t even that bad. The internet always exaggerates.

There is always hope for a movie or a “Golden Palace” style revival.

This was a Golden Palace type. A sequel series. That’s what Golden Palace was to GG. This was that to SATC

I want to see a show about hot, slightly creepy Adam.

Just to be clear, season 3 was planned as the final season while They were filming. That’s why we are getting two more episodes.

HBO Max didn’t randomly cancel it. The showrunners decided to end it long ago and not negotiate a 4th season.

Will they market Guiseppe puppets? I need wanking material.

HBO MAX JUST ANNOUNCED THIS SHIT IS CANCELLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FUCKMPK!

Spin-off time!

I loved hate-watching AJLT, but not surprised this is the end.

You bitches and your bitching did it, no more hate watching for you.

R250 a low hanger… let’s be honest about those cheeks.

There’s no way to know that’s the truth, R258. There’s always a public relations truth and a real truth. And there’s no way that the horrendous word of mouth did not contribute to this. HBO and the rest would definitely like to keep making money if it were not embarrassing to do so.

And yes, it is that bad of a show. I would agree that it’s gotten quite a. Jt better but when you take the entire three seasons, it is just not good. And frequently very, very bad. Who the hell whatever we watch this thing? It’s a slog.

We held off. For now, to jack the ratings…knowing that there was an impending WarnerDiscovery implosion that could adversely impact our HBO Max revenue stream.

Trump’s SEC investigation launches in 3…2…1

There is a god!

Will Kim show up in the finale? One more million dollar cameo?

MPK lost me at "popular series."

I think MPK and SJP were stunned to find out that these are characters that people love to hate and don't want to be a part of that.

I was kinda hoping it would go on...forever.

[quote]Will they market Guiseppe puppets? I need wanking material.

No, idiot R259. They need to sell the dildo he had in his pants.

Miranda going undercover with Charlotte is rich. Brady a hookup daddy. Anthony’s boyfriend has a creepy Data Lounge roommate who’s an elder creep. Seema, the plant killer. LTW, the busy, unappreciated mom stuck with a loser husband. Who writes this stuff?

It’s great to see a Westbeth apartment from the inside (may be a stage). I always wondered what they are like.

R271 I’m stunned you do not see that their gravy train was running off the track, and they took the best deal they had at the time. El fin.

R275 all it takes is a decent profile…

Thank God it’s over.

They should end it like Melrose Place and have a deranged Samantha come back and blow up Carrie's townhouse. With all of them trapped inside.

They really should pay Kim one more million for a final cameo.

R266 it’s true. They filmed proper ending to the show last year. Not some cliffhanger open ending to come back. It was filmed last year.

R274 Muriel, of course!

Most people watching (women) don’t even like Giuseppe and wonder why he’s been around so long.

R274 you realize it’s a show. Right?

The LTW one is one many women can relate to.

This was always a money grab for MPK and the three actresses.

HBO made it clear they weren’t interested in another season of dreck and lousy word-of-mouth that tarnishes HBO’s reputation for quality. HBO allowed all involved a dignified exit.

Telegram, for Muriel!

HBO Max / Max / HBO ends shitshow. Two more ca$h episodes.

The finale could be Carrie reading her latest book to a crowd at a book store and we learn everything that’s happened on AJLT was fake. She goes home to Big and later meets up with the girls, Sam included, for dinner.

R285 a money grab? Like everything in Hollywood? Are you fucking stupid?

And false. Don’t come here making shit up stupid. You don’t even have a job. This was filmed last year. It was all planned.

R285 talking shit about the show online means nothing when YOU KEEP WATCHING. THATS WHAT MATTERS TO STREAMERS.

R288, maybe try decaf or get back on the meds?

How likely is it that Lisa‘s nasty Mother in Law refers to her as “Mommy Dearest”? Could she be a Datalounger???

I hope we get another dozen or so posters to tell us the show is canceled.

R290 maybe sign up for jobs and stop living off your family?

Here’s hoping the last scene is of her waking up and realizing it was all a bad dream.

With Chris Noth saying: "Honey, what happened? I told you not to overeat before going to bed."

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?

Season 2s ratings were high

Very likrky—duh

None of whom proofread.

I don't care what ultimately happens to the Sex and the City universe but I would take anything SJP or MPK says with a grain of salt.

I'd actually love to see Samatha come back only to lament how NYC has changed and fall out of a window Lexi Featherston style.

The last scene in the last episode will be Samantha telling Carrie she’s coming back to New York

Universe?

🤣 oh my sides

I picked the wrong time to bring this up, but Jonathan Cake was the first of Carrie's menfolk that I've actually wanted to stick around.

But I really liked that resolution.

Like Golden Palace, it will have no afterlife in syndication.

I will miss it.

About episode 10… I wish that Carrie showed up to the literary party Duncan invited her to and when she gets there she meets Duncan’s publicist, Jack Berger.

That would have been great.

She would shriek about the post it note and finally get closure.
