Spoiler alert! If you haven’t seen this week’s episode of “And Just Like That…” proceed with caution.
And we couldn’t help but wonder, did Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) just alienate half the “Sex and the City” fanbase?
In the latest instalment of the Max spin-off series, “And Just Like That…” Carrie is deep into her love bubble with her ex-fiancé, Aidan Shaw (John Corbett). The two wake up in each other’s arms, twisted in sheets, bargaining over who has to close the blinds to keep that pesky sunshine from hitting them. It’s a nauseating scene that begs the question — does nobody have a job anymore? Doesn’t Aidan have three sons? Is Carrie just going to spend the rest of her life living off the funds of her late husband, Mr. Big (Chris Noth)?
And speaking of Mr. Big, the man is certainly rolling over in his Armani suit, because after Carrie has spent the last season and a half mourning his death, she’s now definitively declaring that the dearly departed John James Preston might not actually have been the love of her life.
After oversharing that she’s been having the best orgasms of her life, which she attributes to holding herself back with Aidan in the past because of Big, Carrie drops this bomb on her bestie Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) — “I’ve been asking myself was Big a big mistake?”
Honestly, what’s next? Is Alexander Petrovsky going to pop out and sweep Carrie back to Paris and we’ll all just be expected to go along with it? Is Jack Berger going to write her a Post-It note sonnet and all will be forgiven?
But Carrie doesn’t show any signs of taking things slowly, even telling her friends, “If it feels right — and it does — then why slow it down?”
Umm, maybe because your husband died a year ago and
