When Natasha busts her face in the stairwell.. I was horrified. Poor thing just busted Carrie in her place, then she busted her face. 😢😮

"I'm dating a guy with the funkiest tasting spunk." LOL

Carrie still doesn’t deserve Aiden after what happened she cheated on him with Mr. big and not to mention. He also cheated on his wife Natasha and that was a pretty ugly relationship. It was too much for them. But I can’t wait for season three just like that but I’m so excited.

Carrie is so self absorbed that she insists on making the day her best friend gets engaged the day she was dumped by a post it note. Barely any acknowledgement of Charlotte's happiness.

I liked how her relationship to the Russian in Paris hinted at what it would have been like if she had chosen to follow Big to Paris in season 2 (her being primarily alone and her feelings dismissed by her boyfriend). I know they wanted to show how Big was finally ready to truly commit to Carrie (which he was incapable of doing in season 2) but I still wish the series ended with her friends coming to Paris to bring her home and reinforcing how her friends were her true soulmates.

I was shocked when samantha was diagnosed with cancer

Carrie's golden shower politician!

Aiden was WAY too patient with Carrie... the more i watch, , the more i see Carrie as a narcissist 😮

[hesayshesayhowboutmesay]

Big wasn’t a villain. He was a man after a failed marriage and countless dates who knew when he was and wasn’t ready to move. Carrie couldn’t accept that and took the punches involved to continue to be in his life. But she cried about it along the way.

Shocking moment Carrie realizing she spent over $40, 000 on designer shoes and then shaming Charlotte into GIVING her the money for a down payment on her apartment (she never paid her back).

I saw ALL of these TWICE and the movies!!!

[cakepopslingshot]

It was shocking when Carrie punched Big in the face after he knocked her out of bed. He bled…

When Carrie puked after seeing the ring Aidan was gonna give her 😂

[icedcoffee]

one thing i didnt like from carrie was when in And Just Like That she broke up with that guy who working in that start up. Like his job, his career, whatever he was doing wasn't important if she wasn't being prioritized.

The Samantha cancer story arc threw me. I was looking forward to the character busting out with double-Ds. Man was I disappointed.

[janem]

I watched all 6 Seasons and 2 movies. I grew to see Carrie as completely self absorbed and Samantha absolutely the best, most loyal friend. However, never for one minute did I ever feel that Carrie belonged with anyone but Big! So much so, that when he died in AJLT, I refused to watch.

[MarcioDAstrain]

What I dom't understand about the fans of this show is how much they hate and antagonize Carrie. Like, yes she has many flaws, she is egocentric and most of the time she makes the wrong choice - but she is the personification of the human being these days - if there is a more relatable character it is her. Although my favorite character is Samantha, the show wouldn't be the same without Carrie. And one thing that Carrie has better than the other characters is fashion sense - her outfits are always exuberant and extraordinary.

I was the same age as the girls when the show aired. It continually blows my mind how sensitive people are to the show now. Back then it was just funny and sometimes you could relate to the story line. When I watch a show from the past, I keep in mind what was going on at the time.

SITC didn't age well with the excess of vapid emphasis on material goods

[samuelcollantes]

Lexi's fall. Happy wednesday afternoon, Kirsten, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
