I was entertained.

Not great; not awful. Steve's girlfriend was smokin'. I will say though that Miranda has been looking pretty good lately herself.

Oh, and Carrie's "fake" crying really started to grate after awhile.

Those scenes looked rushed and careless. She simply wasn't selling the emotional upheaval of those moments.

My one complaint with the episode was Carrie's crying. When she first burst into tears at the restaurant with Big, I thought she was faking or laughing at first it seemed so fake.

Later on in the episode, it seemed more realistic. But that was a bad acting job in the restaurant.

i enjoyed last night, much better than the previous one (2 weeks ago). i really like miranda with robert, i'm rooting for them!

big's still an ass but has anyone noticed his softer side from last season (when he kept appologizing for treating her badly) seems to have been completely abandoned this season????

I missesd the first 10 minutes. Did anything significant happen? Other than Blair's butt, I guess? Sad I missed that.

I thought it was a good episode, i do agree Carrie wont win any Oscars for here crying.

I have some sort of feeling that Steve and Miranda will end up together.

I feel that Blair Underwood and Steve's girlfriend will get together... which will push Steve and Miranda back together...

Ummm....could they start with a 4-some and then do the splitting up?

A "sort of feeling"? What was the 1st clue? The writers have been drumming up the sexual tension between those two all season long! While I do expect them to get together again, I suspect it may fall apart. Who knows - I thought Trey or Harry would be the end of Charlotte's storyline...

YEP... thats what I think is gonna happen too!

I like Carrie EXCEPT for two things: her screaming and her crying. Both grate on my nerves.

9/14/03 - (Summer finale)

Best line of the night: "I'm Bozo the bush!"

So Miranda finally breaks down and admits to Steve that she love him, not the doc, and Steve (thankfully for Miranda) feels the same way.

Charlotte conceives and loses the baby all in this episode. She becomes depressed, but the E! True Hollywood Story on Elizabeth Taylor provides enough inspiration for her to get off the couch, get dressed up and arrives at Brady's birthday in time for the presentation of the cake.

Samantha's way of dealing with age "down there" was amusing.

Carrie meets a smooth operator of an artist (Mikhail Baryshnikov), and he seduces her like an experienced lothario.

Charlotte needs an Emmy for her range of emotion on this show, I love Charlotte she is excellent.

I knew Miranda would eat the cookie

Steve is my nominee for loser of the year. That new girlfriend is awesome, and beats Miranda in every category (well, except maybe intellectually). Steve and Miranda are just not well matched, especially since Miranda thinks she's better than him. Maybe they'll realize this...again.

I loved Smantha's "problem" this episode. "No one wants to _____ Grandma's _______."

Does anyone what that piece of strings music was in this episode? They first played it when Charlotte exited her apartment in pink, again with Miranda and Steve and Brady's birthday cake, and then again with the cake at the party? I know I've heard it before, and I can't remember what it is.

great episode! i loved mikhail barishnakov's character (i was originally reluctant)...pleasantly surprised, although carrie seems to have her doubts.

charlotte did a nice job. and when she was depressed on the couch, i think she looked her best yet!

sam was usual sam...

i'm very sorry to see the doc leave, they were fabulous together. steve's so goofy and i don't think miranda will stop being "***ed up" even if she does really love him!

Ugh, I didn't like the whole Baryshnikov scene at the end, it seemed pointless. I think it's just because I can't buy that someone would see Carrie and Charlotte together and go for Carrie. But really it seemed like they tacked his part on. It felt like the show was over at the end of the birthday party scene. I almost had forgotten Baryshnikov was in it by the time that scene came up.

I imagine the motivation for that character would be that he was attracted to Carrie's sense of humor and playfulness, something there isn't a whole lot of in the "serious art world".

Yes she did, no make and she was perfect.

Oh I knew the doc was going to get the shaft! I don't know about Miranda, Blair Underwood looks pretty damn good compared to good ole Steve but I guess you can't help who you fall in love with.

Samantha's storyline was a real hoot though. I actually think that was one of the better storylines she's had in a long time.

Now we have to wait until January - I just got off the phone with Time Warner and cancelled my HBO until then. Any speculation on how they'll end it?

January? I thought they were going to start them late Fall early Winter... (November ish....) Is January confirmed?

I think the Charlotte miscarriage plot was way too rushed. She announces her pregnancy, miscarries, suffers depression, and picks herself up, all in the range of about 20 minutes.

That Baryshnikov was one smooth dude. Not sure what the point of the mad dash down the street was.

Orange pubes! Samantha was hilarious in this episode.

Honk!
