Sex and the City

We ended season 2 with Big being engaged to another woman and Carrie being a little nuts about it. Miranda and Steve realize that being just friends is a little harder than they thought and Charlotte and Samantha continue to be the life of this show. We have a lot of horrible Carrie moments coming up in this next season so I suppose we should just get started. Here is season 3 of Sex and the City.

Miranda is getting Lasik and the doctor tells her she needs to have someone with her when she goes home. Steve offers to come hold her hand and she refuses. She claims she’ll ask Carrie. Here’s my problem, just because you let a significant other, friend with benefits, romantic entanglement offer you emotional support DOES NOT make you less independent.

And now we get to one of the episodes that definitely does not age well…Carrie dates a bisexual. The unfortunate part of this episode is that there are still people IN THE COMMUNITY that feel like this. Carrie straight up says that she doesn’t believe that bisexuality exists. It's super disgusting and as a bisexual who still has to deal with this crap it's a really tough episode to watch.

Steve is just the kindest, most understanding person in the world. He puts up with so much crap from Miranda and he deserves so much better it's ridiculous.

In season 3 we also get Aiden…oh poor poor Aiden. Carrie admits that there is nothing wrong with their relationship. She feels comfortable and safe, she finally acts like an adult so of course she has to ruin it. She’s so terrified of losing Aiden that she does this whole big, grand gesture thing and meets his parents.

By the 8th episode in season 3 all the women, besides Samantha are in relationships. We have Miranda and Steve who, by the end of the episode, break up because once again Miranda can not compromise, discuss or open herself up to anything. Carrie and Aiden, also consistent and happy…for now. And Charlotte and Trey who she is trying to craft into her perfect man. Charlotte has decided that she will get married this year.

Nothing makes me angrier than Carrie and Big. Aiden is literally at her apartment improving her floors and she is at a hotel sleeping with Big. When Charlotte finally finds out I love that she calls Carrie on it. Samantha and Miranda were way too loving and Carrie needs to be checked. Charlotte said what needed to be said. And Big’s entire lack of a moral compass basically tells her to get over any guilt she’s feeling because he truly doesn’t think that they are doing anything wrong. Carrie even says it, “I always assumed the one that would be hurt in all this would be me” it never even occurred to her that other people were involved and would be hurt way worse then she ever could be.

Carrie and her friends take a trip to LA and establish that they could not be more New York. Carrie demonstrates an inability to be alone when she has an LA fling, comes back home and immediately starts dating again. You would think that after everything with Aiden and Big she would maybe want to take a break for a while to get her shit together, but nope.

God Carrie is the WORST. She has a run in with Natasha and she is so hung up on the fact that Natasha hates her that she inserts herself into her life for no reason. Calling her at work? Really? You slept with her husband, what could you possibly want? Carrie is such a fucking stalker, why? Why do you feel the need to find this poor girl at lunch, cornering her? What do you get out of this?

At least the season ends with the girls just having fun together. They get back to being their core group, they are once again all single at the same time, which is definitely needed for all of them. After Miranda and Carrie stumble upon Steve and Aiden and their new girlfriends the girls kind of go into a spiral and they need a break.
