You’re absolutely right… there is nothing right about any one scene in this entire episode… the only words are disgusting, nauseating, sleazy, grotesque.

[@MaryMamaAshlee]

Nauseating. That's exactly what I said. And for no good reason.

[@OlgaQLD]

Everything the writers are giving us is like a f*ck you to the viewers… the shows producers have made their money because the series has been bought and paid for but the viewers who enjoyed the original series are being shafted… there were also episodes in the original series that left you shaking your head but this is beyond and there are not enough vile adjectives to describe this train wreck of a series. As for Parker, Nixon and Davis, they are just prime examples of mutton dressed as lamb and the dressing fails on every level.

[@awnutz]

So true. All of the sex stuff was just gross. Gross. That threesome? Maybe if you’re into porn. Miranda is so unappealing. Physically. Character. I always want to wash my hands and eyes after her scenes. And Charlotte? Looks like she has some sort of disease.

Ageism right there. I'm late 50s and have some fabulous friends late 60s and 70s. To think they are not worthy of written about or being friends with is insulting.

[@lenawagenfuehr53]

I highly recommend Sheila Hancock's books. She is over 90, and is a delight. I'm listening to the audiobook of Old Rage - the writers of AJLT need to do that, and hang their heads in shame at their ageism and sexism

[@Tenebarum]

They needed writers who could write for 50+ aged women. The writers needed to study the original series to see why it was so great. Its simple. The show wasnt about sex, it was about a group of friends. They needed to keep it that way instead of shoehorning in diversity. There are too many characters now. Charlotte and Miranda have become idiots. Carrie has no sparkle. They let the actresses have too much input in their characters . They ruined them, and the effortless chemistry they had is gone. Im all for a spin off handled by competent wtiters and producers starring Sam, Steve, Natasha, and Anthony.

[@thomasmagnum3588]

I’m glad you mentioned Natasha. The one truly great scene of this total abomination, was Carrie and Natasha’s confrontation at the coffee shop. It was so tender and well-written and Bridget Moynahan played it beautifully ……and there in those few moments, we had a brief glimpse of what this show could have become. Pity.

[@MrsRitchieBlackmore]

EXACTLY. The whole original backbone of the show is that the women represented archetypes of urban single 30/40-something ladies...the immature flighty bohemian (Carrie), the driven career girl (Miranda), the wannabe Disney princess (Charlotte) and the swinging bachelorette (Samantha). It was all a commentary and reflection on the (then) contemporary dating world. The show was great because we could all relate to at least ONE of the girls and root for her. Now, they've completely forgotten who these women are. They all suck. We can't relate.

[@denisadellinger4543]

There would be no series without the stars. They got behind it and Sarah Jessica Parker came on as a producer, I believe. They needed all the girls to make it successful but they didn't get all the girls. That's what happens when you treat one of them like crap. They don't come back. But the coup of the phone call was genius. I think they are making a young Sex and the City. It will fail because you cannot remake something that was great, unique and so popular it became part of the culture. That's the thing with Hollywood. Hollywood is full of rolls and rolls of film of remakes of very popular movies and shows that bombed and got woke. You cannot even make what was in the original anymore. Most of it is considered offensive. So they come up with what we have now. The only way to save this show is to make it a Dallas dream. The last episode should close with Carrie opening the door to her home with Big and walking in to find him packing his luggage for their trip. He turns around and smiles at her and says, "Glad you're home." FADE TO BLACK.

[@Tenebarum]

The reason we’re all so disengaged in this show is because the female main characters are given NO substantial conflicts. None. Anything that could possibly be a conflict (is Che pulling back? Does Brady want his parents to get back together?) is almost immediately resolved.

[@snowfoxxie]

Yeah and if there is conflict- they don’t talk about it- we don’t hear our friends Carrie/charlotte/Miranda thoughts on it like the almost threesome or Brady breakdown. It happens and we forget and move into the next random scene. Mix in some agism/ technology confusion and sex scenes and call it an episode cut!

I’m sticking the series out until the end, even though it’s dire, and I hope it’ll get axed after this. I get why you don’t want to recap, and I wish there was at least something amusing we could get out of the hate-watching, but it’s like Steve’s mum eating old pizza out of the rubbish bin. It’s tragic. It’s disgusting. It’s beyond help now. Do not resuscitate.

[@thomasmagnum3588]

I love your Anne Meara analogy, and nod to the series finale of SATC - a truly groundbreaking comedy series, one of the all-time best , whose memory is now being dismantled and destroyed by this grotesque farce of a show. Shame on you Michael Patrick King, and shame on you Sarah Jessica Parker. You two did not deserve to have your legacy destroyed, but you did it anyway.

[@cra2y8a8y]

@@thomasmagnum3588 I totally agree. If they’d hired good writers it would’ve been sensational, and made big bux for everyone involved. It seems that Kim was the only one with the integrity to say no. Such a wasted opportunity.

[@bencharlie9509]

If people keep watching it, it won’t get axed. Case and point: Sister Wives. Still on. In its 19th season. Why? Because even though people are appalled, they still continue to watch to see what happens next.

[@sallyguberman6310]

The Anne Meara reference, yes yes yes Right there is the GLARING difference of this and the original series! SATC was a moving beautiful hysterical series and this crap is crap 👎 I’m with ya Jen ❤

[@scarletme1845]

As it relates to Miranda blowing her family up, one of the first things they tell you when beginning a 12 step program is to NOT start any new romantic relationships because, your emotions are all over the place. Hence, if is the worst time to make major life decisions outside of getting and staying sober.

[@suzybearheart530]

Oh my goodness, you're right! They even had an episode of SATC that addressed this when Carrie dated a recovering alcoholic. She pushed him to go out with her even though it hadn't been a year and it messed him up bad. And now they've got Miranda doing the same thing.

[@denisebennett3144]

I was so happy to see Steve is on a successful show called Chicago Fire, like i was soooo happy the actor may have had a short run on this garbage so he could get back to something people actually watch and enjoy. I only watch this garbage via Jen and the amazing Drag Dungeon you guys all make it entertaining and i am thrilled you watch and your breakdowns are hilarious FAR MORE entertaining than this shitshow you suffer through.

[@melodazzze]

This show had so much potential to be the next Golden Girls

[@Gemmarose9012]

No it didn’t. But you’re sweet for giving the actors that much credit

[@groovygal8948]

This show isn’t even worth hate watching anymore. Totally don’t blame you. It’s like they’re shoving everything but the kitchen sink at viewers thinking we’d be satisfied just seeing these guest stars and wouldn’t notice the awful writing. In an interview with SJP, she mentioned how fans have always made known their feelings about SATC and likened that to how fans are reacting to AJLT “It means they care”, she said.! Is this something she tells herself to save face, or is she really naive to how bad it truly is?! I think she’s in denial…and really likes $$ and working. I’ll miss your recaps of this show (if I continue to torture myself by watching), but I’ll check out your Megan stuff, as, I’m nauseated by her bs, too.

[@katieegan5178]

She stated in a recent interview that she’s never read reviews, comments, fan opinions, etc. So if an assistant is telling her “SJP, people are sharing lots of opinions about this,” I can see her taking it as positive news and leaving it at that. 🙄

[@SatisfyingLullabyAsmr]

Denial is a lovely bandaid.

[@alexd1121]

What’s super sad is that when Carrie met Enid her spark was right there intact proving that the misery of this show comes from the poor writing. CHE is the worst character in TV history and that character is responsible for ruining Carrie from the get go. THEY made her old when she’s not by sticking her in that awful podcast when she could have continued being the great writer she is. That podcast brought nothing and made her older than she is. Also the death of Big was a mistake. They need to bring a new BIG!!! A great love interest and NOT Aidan!!!

[@shell2837]

[@cbtringali6799]

Who remembers that in S1 E2 LTW comforts charlotte with a hug afterBig dies - saying that she lost it when her Dad died - Obviously the writers don’t remember this as they had LTWs dad as a guest at the anniversary party!!

[@SatisfyingLullabyAsmr]

No way! I hate when the writers forget their own stories. Grerr

[@lisaslaymaker7303]

I think the only way to save this is for Miranda to wake up and beg to go back to Steve, the writers need to get on bended knee to get Samantha back, have a meaningful memorial for Stanford and then wrap it up and never speak of it again 😂 I haven’t even looked at this season which is so sad because I loved the satc franchise, also why kill off Big? Sad sad sad.

[@lenawagenfuehr53]

They had to get rid of him (even before they knew of the actor's behaviour) That marriage was never going to last (it was Big 's 3rd for crying out loud) They just wimped out and didn't have him divorce Carrie's dumb ass and leave her penniless

[@savannahsputnik1663]

What cracked me up was when they dragged out 90 year old Gloria Steinem for this episode, I mean really, how bad do they need her?? It’s like watching a train wreck.

[@jadefire2817]

All I could think of was "Glo" being such "good friends" with Meghan! Is "AJLT" the type of "romcom" she wanted Archewell to produce? If so, God help us.

I was literally sick to my stomach watching this episode. I am done. Love the Berger throw back by the way! Lol

[@janepappas8990]

I absolutely agree with you!

[@trueosmondfan]

I love your honesty! Thank you. Yeah, this was an awful episode. I’m 63. The thing I love about getting older is being able to not care as much about what others think of me and for standing up for what I believe in and want. I think that’s what angered me so much about this episode. Carrie, once again, let herself get used and gave the money even without getting a guarantee of having her book reviewed in the new magazine. I would’ve loved to see Charlotte get excited about the thought of returning to work. And I would’ve liked for Miranda to say, “That’s it,” and realize she wants more for herself when she realized her new love wasn’t quite over her Ex. Also, I’m sorry, I can’t stand her kid. He’s so selfish! Makes me glad I didn’t have them. And I miss the kindness of Steve. Here, they just make him into someone who doesn’t have any kind of opinions. I guess I’m a glutton for punishment, and will still watch the next episode in hopes that things get better. But they probably won’t.

[@miintyfresj]

PLEASE don't stop the recaps!! You are the reason I watch the show!!!

[@elizabethquinn8477]

I don't blame you for ending your recaps of AJLT. I love that you included the infamous "I'm Sorry. I Can't. Don't Hate Me" line! How SJP can put her name on this is beyond me. Last year I hate-watched it and then told myself I wouldn't watch season 2. I gave in and tried to watch a couple but just couldn't. I love your recaps and a couple other KZbinrs who review this show but I feel it would be cruel of us to make you watch this any further. I'm bailing on it as well. Your time would be better spent reviewing old Golden Girls episodes - a show that is over 40 years old yet does a better job of portraying women over 50 than this garbage. Another show you might enjoy reviewing is "Minx". It was on HBO Max but then they canceled it and Starz picked it up. Season 2 should be debuting soon. IMHO It has a lot of the joy and sexual fun and frankness that SATC had and it's got strong writing, characters, and a clear point of view. Thanks for all of the laughs, Jen. I do hope you do the episode where Samantha shows up but no worries if you can't.

[@rt66vintage16]

I've decided to watch The Golden Girls, reruns daily. I didn't watch the originals, so looking forward to good writing.

@@rt66vintage16you will adore it! Also, the put downs and insults are hilarious 🤣🤣 the writing really was ahead of its time.

[@intuitivebootie7961]

It's awful but you missed the reason Carrie actually paypaled Enid the 100,000. It was because Enid discovered that the random old man sexting Carrie was actually Enid's beau.

[@catrivera7463]

Yeah true but still a stupid reason to give her the money

[@maboelnreads]

That. Makes. No. Sense.

[@Gemmarose9012]

No she actually paid her the money to get a plug for her book. It was a mutual back scratch. Enid mentioned the money before she saw the pic of her boyfriends wang. And Bitsy was the one that sent Carrie the pic.

[@cmock810]

I agree. The conversation they were having at the table about Harry's "party that didn't show up to the party" gave me original SATC vibes. I was also disappointed to see Che because I guess I assumed they had broken up in the last episode.

[@magdam8290]

AJLT needs extreme plot twist to be saved. What if in the next episode Carrie will find out that Big faked his own death because he couldn't stand Carrie's friends anymore and now he lives on Bahama with his 20 something years old mistress. How could he do that to her? The man she loved, the man that left her at altar once, it was totally out of his character. Carrie is shocked, Miranda screams OH MY GOWD and Charlotte's face gets paralyzed.

[@bethcrumpton476]

The only reason I know anything about this show is because of you. God bless you for hanging in this long. I did read an article recapping this episode, and I must say that 1. At least Brady tried to call Miranda out on her bullshit. 2. I can't believe they've dragged Billy Dee Williams into this schlocky load of pants.

[@pollyinblack]

Oh Jen, I knew that this was coming- I tweeted at you just as this recap dropped, thinking that I was sure you'd had enough of this b.s. as well. 😖 I'm no prude, not whatsoever, but Harry shooting ghost wads, Miranda's almost threesome, and Carrie receiving the walking dead dick pic from hell was just overwhelmingly GROSS to me. And why are the people in Carrie's life so awful. Enid was a totally insensitive twat. But let's have Carrie give her money anyway, so that they could end on that f*cking stupid "paypals" line. 🙄 One more point and I'm done. What stood out to me about Carrie's clothing color palette this episode was how basically, boringly neutral it was, down to the accessories (minus the black Flying Nun/Pirates of the Carribean hat!) What came back to me was Big's line from the original series, when he was married to Natasha- how he despised that she had redecorated his apartment entirely in BEIGE. I don't even know if I can hate watch at this point. I'm back to watching the original series here and there. It's truly sad and pathetic how they've destroyed the core characters.
