What's wrong with Brooklyn?

I'm watching season 6, episode 16. Miranda is frightened about moving to Brooklyn and Carrie compares it to something terrible like facing a terrible reality no one wants to talk about (like death). I'm not from the USA and I always wonder what's the big deal about Brooklyn, because they act like the place is a joke. I know they're Manhattan girls and all and they kind of despise other places but they're always joking about Brooklyn specifically and it makes me wonder...

I always cry with Charlotte in this scene

I haven’t dealt with fertility issues but I had undiagnosed and untreated ADHD until I was 26 years old and I graduated high school late, went to college late and flunked a few times and never understood how and why nothing I ever did was never good enough.

This line “Just because somebody doesn’t perform the way you want them to doesn’t mean that you should just give up on them” really spoke to me. 🥺

No one is perfect and that is okay. It took me years to learn that.

"My friend who died"

Carrie was being annoying and immature here by not listening to Aleksandr. She really should have heard him out when he said "and you are not hearing me!" But when he finally is able to share with Carrie about his friend who died, he says, "I was surprised, and I didn't want you to be surprised." I don't think this is what he was going to say at first before Carrie wouldn't let him speak. I think he was just trying to soften things for Carrie since she's clearly so fragile.

But it was also annoying how often he was starting sentences with "my friend who died", so I see you Carrie.

Miranda's Men

People often say that Miranda got all the duds, but I just don't agree.

I've always thought Detective Stevens was the most handsome guy on the show since that episode first aired. But then (before they ruined his character), Robert was a close second!

Meanwhile, it always bugged me that they took things in the direction they did with Steve. Somebody like Miranda would never have settled for Steve, it was pretty hard to watch most of the time. For a night (or two)? Sure. But I always saw her with somebody like Walker—more of an equal.

Fashion

Who had the best fashion /outfits?

I like Charlotte and Samantha the most.

Samantha has many bold and sexy outfits throughout the series.

Charlotte is more conservative and has more cuter outfits.

I do like Carries outfits as well but she also had many very weird outfits.

As for Miranda she also had some nice outfits but not my style.

I couldn't help but wonder, what if Carrie and Big had a kid?

Please feel free to write totally unhinged alternative storylines in the comments. Just for entertainment purposes.

Carrie could’ve ended it with the Russian the moment he said he didn’t want kids. We all knew it was the beginning of the end the moment he said it, so why didn’t she?

I’m convinced this lady needs a dramatic ending in every relationship. She meets a guy she really likes and then finds one thing that he can’t give her/doesn’t want to give her but instead of ending the relationship then and there, she hyper fixates on this one thing (that she has not expressively said she’s ever wanted in the first place) and tries to probe him into giving her something that he can’t. Why not walk away before it gets too complicated and messy and save yourself the time and heartache? This is dating 101! I learned this lesson in my 20s. I don’t care how great a guy I’m seeing is, the moment I find out we want different things and are not willing to compromise, I end it. it’s really that simple and no one gets hurt because I respect what they want and I also respect what I want and don’t try to drag it out and make it theatrical. Even her friends know how to date intentionally. When she told Charlotte about the vasectomy, Charlotte told her to end it and if I remember correctly Samantha said something along the lines of end it or forget about having the baby. I just hate watching her torture herself. At 38 you’d think she’d run a tighter ship but I think her main issue was she always lacked intentionality in her dating life. And she’s obsessed with wanting what she can’t have. Big doesn’t want to be a relationship guy and settle down she now she must make him a relationship guy, Aidan wants to settle down and be relationship guy so now she wants to be free, Aleksandr doesn’t want a kid and though she has never mentioned the desire to have kids, now she wants to have kids. I love Carrie but man! It gets exhausting.

Our girl was DIABOLICAL for dropping this bomb on Aidan (and obviously ending their relationship) with just enough time to still get credit for the custom handcrafted love seat as her wedding gift to Charlotte and Trey. 😂

I love Carrie - this is just a silly post, please don’t take it a serious criticism - but this is an insanely generous, special, valuable gift she did NOT deserve to have her name on!! 😂

steve & miranda without the baby. thoughts?

do you think miranda and steve would have a better relationship without the baby?? just wondering if the problem was steve himself or was it because a baby involved in the relationship? i just feel like miranda would be better without a baby regardless of her partner. i am also probably saying this because i am not really a baby person. so i am kinda biased.

Love this sub

Ok, this might be deemed unrelated to "Sex and the City" and be removed. But I want to post it anyways.

I just want to say I love this sub, and how civilised everyone is when they talk to each other. I'm getting really fed up of people getting aggressive and rude online and have muted multiple TV show subs because of it. I don't know if I've somehow missed all the rude people on this sub, but it's been a breath of fresh air.

So thanks to everyone and also the mods.
