Sex and the City
Did anyone see the Sex and the City preview for next week? I thought it was beautifully done. Guess it's the chick in me.

1. I'm getting very sad that it's ending
Although I really can't stand the Russian, I have to say.

3. OMG why? I love MB, he is the greatest dancer alive!
I hated Big, I hope that Carie ends up with a guy that actually loves her. I like her character and want her to be happy. I think that Alecsander will do that, why don't you like him?

I also liked Adian and Burger and was sad to see both go.

4. I don't think he's very nice to her
I guess I'm like Miranda in that way.

In reality, however, I love the *real* him, of course.

I esp. loved Aidan and Burger, though. :hi:

17. Big is Funny!
You obviously don't "get" Big. It's all tongue-in-cheek w/ him.

21. Chris Noth is one of us!
Big grew on me-- especially after I found that out!

He was actively protesting the war in Iraq.

23. He was also great in my favorite show
Law & Order...

Great show, the assistant prosecutors aren't bad, either.

(Oops, did I type that? Bad FatSlob!)

2. Yes, I am pretty excited about the last two eps
This has been the best season by far. It would be great if Carie blows off NY to go live in Paris.

6. I'm sad to see it end, too.
But I'm eagerly awaiting the final two episodes.

I'm on the fence about the Russian. Miranda was actually annoying me in the last episode. I wish she'd just let Carrie make up her own mind.

I don't think she'll go to Paris, though. I don't know why.

8. I read in an interview (may be a spolier but I don't think so)
Edited on Tue Feb-10-04 07:05 AM by MaineDem
I read that Big is in the final episode but that's all he said.

I think Carrie deserves to be with someone better than Big. He treated her like crap.

I think she could go to Paris and come back when she wants. Go on her terms. But definitely go. What an opportunity!

11. But Carrie isn't going to Paris on her terms
She's going because she's afraid of being alone for the rest of her life. All her friends are in relationships (even Sam, although he's 15 years younger than her). First she had Enid complain about how men Enid's age go for women who are Carrie's age or younger and then that Lexie fell out of the window. Carrie is afraid of being along but the Russian is the worse guy for her. Notice how none of her friends at the dinner party could carry a conversation with MB? And from the previous episode none of his friends were impressed with carrie. She'll go to Paris and miss everything she loved about NYC (which btw, NYC is the fifth character of the show).

She and Big are soulmates - she'll end up with him. It's destiny!

14. She's going to realize she hates Paris
His friends will find her "boring" and will all be pompous assholes like the Russian. She won't have a job, she doesn't know the language and she doesn't have her 3 best friends for their weekly lunches. She's going to absolutely hate it.

Notice how the Russian doesn't want her to sublet her apartment. Makes it real easy for her to return home when she gets irritated with him and Paris.

Big is in Napa but will offer a life where she can split her time between Napa and NYC (the Russian wants her full time in Paris). She'll end up with Big. If she doesn't can she give Big my phone number please!!!

19. I'll really miss the show
But it's been pretty heavy this season, with Samantha getting cancer, etc. (Although they've managed to even make that humorous in its own way.) I want to see how they all end up in five years.

24. I agree.
As bad as Big was for her in many ways, going to Paris with the Russian is not the answer to her problems. In a way, he's as rigid as Big often was -- he won't even consider a flexible arrangement, where they would spend some time in New York. Sure, he seems to want her in his life more than Big did, but it's entirely on his terms. I dunno, maybe I'm just suspicious of any guy who would ask a woman to give up her job, her friends -- her life -- and move away with him, refuse to compromise, and not also offer anything in the way of a real commitment.

Personally, I don't know if Carrie "should" end up with anyone, though of all the guys on the show, Big would make the most sense.

9. Ugh, Praying for Big!!
Sorry, but the "Russian" is boring! Not to mention, he could give a crap about HER life in NY--isn't this what it's about? No promises, no marriage or children, just 'come with me to Paris'. If it ends this way, I swear to Goddess I will burn my bra!

10. I haven't followed Sex for a couple of seasons. But,
Big is Carrie's soulmate. Unless she has grown up significantly in the past two seasons, she deserves Big. They deserve each other. Afterall, look at the way she treated that divine, Aidan.

Don't get me wrong. I like Carrie. She reminds me of a younger me. :7

13. I watch w/ my wife...I think it's ending at the right time...
Better to burn out than fade away, I guess...

The show is not improving, Baryshnikov is a total stiff...

It was sad to see "Seinfeld" go down the tubes for the last 4 seasons, it's better to leave when you've got something left in the tank...

15. I happen to like Big...
I think that he has done a lot of shitty stuff but then so has she. Maybe if the characters have both grown up they would make a really good couple. I agree that they seem like soulmates. I DON'T like the Russian. I just don't see her with him and I hav'nt enjoyed that story line this season. One of my favorite episodes is when Big is moving to CA from NY and he and Carrie are dancing to "Moon River." ...chokes me up every time. I hope they are the ones who end up together.

20. Big was on Paula Zahn last night---
He is in the last 2 episodes. He went on to say that doing the show was great. And even though he had been on L&O for years he never got as much reaction from that role as he did from being Big. Women would stop him in the street and yell at him for the way he was treating Carrie
