9. IT'S BIG!!

It had to be. "It took me a long time to get here." "But you're the one, Carrie."

IN TEARS. I'm a big ol' softy.

Bake

[Bake]

10. Who KNEW Big's name is JOHN???

It was on Carrie's cell phone when he called! I never knew that.

Bake

[Momof1]

16. I don't like his name its to ordinary for BIG

It should of been something else. But thats just MO

[WillParkinson]

32. I've never watched the show...but it's appropriate...

BIG JOHN...Big Bad John. :-)

[MaineDem]

35. Not even Carrie knew that

He never gave her his real name.

This might - just might - mean that he's going to be better toward her. I hope so.

[drdon326]

11. Goodbye SITC.

GOOD ENDING.

[populistmom]

13. I'm bawling

:cry:
I'm such a damned sappy, romantic idiot it kills me, but I've had a love/hate relationship with this show. Sometimes I find it fascinating, other times I find the characters pretty shallow and dull and want to scream at how "immature" they are.
However, they left it with a bit of depth (just a bit), but it was nice. A good end. :)

[Momof1]

15. It could of been better to

see Carrie get married. I think it could of been better. If Big got all mushy and stuff. Kinda disappointed. But I still loved the show.

[alfredo]

27. Remember, he never liked coming up to her room, but he did this time.

I also noted some clues to the ending in the pre show. When I saw them I knew she would end up with John.

They never said his name, but they showed it. What a nice touch.

[jumptheshadow]

14. Nice, nice finale

What a classy wrapup to the series.

This show will be missed.

[SWPAdem]

21. Great ending!

Just as all of us went through our "sex and the city" years, we have changed our priorities, and our outlook on life as we have matured. God, I hope they give us a twice a year update...a wonderful comment on how our roles evolve.

How many kleenex did you need?

[flamingyouth]

17. I just loved it

I thought they ended it on a great note. I started bawling when Harry and Charlotte saw their daughter's picture for the first time. And the scenes with Miranda and Mary were extraordinarily touching - I love seeing how her character has changed through the years. Anyway, it was a great show and a great run - I'll miss it soooo much! I can't wait for the movie!!!!!!

[NewHampster]

18. That was great

Tied up all the loose ends and everybody's happy.

Big is John. Who'd a thunk it.

I'm an old guy and I was crying. Yuch

[Momof1]

19. Samantha, I didn't like her story line in the show.

Same shit different day. It would of been better if her and what's his face got engaged or something. It was just more of the same push him away, pull him back.

[NewHampster]

20. Thats Sam

and he's Smith.

They love in their own way.

[SWPAdem]

22. Hell, Sam took the biggest step of her life

tonight. And who would've thunk it that it would be some young hunk of burning love that would have the maturity to deal with Samantha!

[NewHampster]

24. Young men. I was one once

That's when we're at our best. I believe a young hunk like Smith would be most likely to deal with that real life situation.

With age we lose our maturity. Whatever.

[SWPAdem]

28. Well honey,

If it is any consolation, I was young once, too. Our problem is that we women get EVEN OLDER, as we get older. Sigh.

[ewagner]

30. Gotta respectfully disagree

I'm more tolerant. Inquisitive. And a lot more sensitive than when I was a young man. Probably more....uuummmm....mellow.

[curse10]

23. I loved it!

Although I am relly sad about Miranda's turn out. :-(

[latebloomer]

25. Ahh, Chris Noth!!

I must tell everybody for the thirtieth time that he was an early opponent of the war in Iraq.

I'm so glad Carrie wound up with him.

I'm a happy woman.

[Liberal Veteran]

26. I am so glad that Carrie ended up with...

....John. They were always the best couple.

Sam: You got a hunk of a hunk. Smart choice.

Mir: You got a family again after losing one. Steve is one of the most realistic guys ever.

Char: I hated you for years, but I am happy for you and Harry.

[TSIAS]

29. Nice episode tonight

There weren't any big shockers, but it was a very good finale IMO. There wasn't much talking in the episode, but there were a lot of touching moments.

Hopefully they'll get together and sign for the movie. I hadn't seen the first 2 seasons, so I'll probably end up getting the DVD and catching up on some old episodes.

Sad to see all these good series ending this year. I'll miss Sex and the City and Frasier.

[tedoll78]

31. This was probably..

one of the best series-ending episodes I've ever seen. Series finales are usually disappointing, but I was crying out of joy over this one. I'm so pleased!

[Lindsey]

33. Without question...

this was the best series finale I've ever seen. I love it that we know Big's name - I think John is just fine :-). I love the fact that they had a great "fairy tale" ending to everyone's life - I happen to like fairy tale endings. What an incredible show. I will miss it terribly.

[drdon326]

34. Ditto

be interesting to see the movie.

[soleft]

36. bathing your demented mother in law is a fairy tale ending?

It was beautiful, poignant, poetic.

Growing up and learning to make sacrifices
Accepting that your fate is to adopt a nearly one year old child as opposed to a newborn, or having one of your own

The endings were joyous because everyone was happy in spite of disappoints and limitations and the unnicities of reality.

It was a great ending.

[RamblingRose]

37. Can somebody tell me how Carrie met BIG, and give a little history of

their relationship? I don't know which season I started watching in, but never really got the whole BIG thing. Was he married before? I think I remember he said he didn't want kids. I think I started watching around the time Miranda met Steve, or shortly thereafter. What season would that be?

I'll miss the show, but my husband won't.

[bluedeminredstate]

38. And also...

I didn't see the first season. Aside from the obvious, why is he called BIG?

[RamblingRose]

40. Thank you for adding that. nt

[MaineDem]

39. I liked the way it ended

I wish Carrie had left the museum earlier, though.

I like the idea that we don't know where the Carrie/Big relationship is going. They'll be together but I still have that lingering doubt that he'll treat her badly again. I think it's a very positive sign that she finally knows his name. She can still set the parameters.

The "abso-fuckin-lutely" line was great. He said that to her when they first met.

The slap from Alex would definitely be the last straw for me. Kudos to Carrie for walking out on him!

And as much as I wanted her to stay in Paris on her own - or with Big - she had to go back to NY. The story is about sex AND the city, after all.

I will actually miss those ladies.
