This year I, like Carrie Bradshaw, am letting go of expectations.
No, the expectations I am letting go of are my expectations for this show.
Let it wash over you!
LetAnd Just Like That …live!
Its much more fun, I promise.
And not even one gratuitous shot of great food.
It gave so very little.
But that doesnt matter, because good-bye expectations …
… Hello, Samantha Jones.
It was too short, yes, but it was also kind of lovely.
In just one minute Catrall provided the kind of energyAJLTis lacking.
Always leave them wanting more, I guess.
The same could be said about this Last Supper.
Every main cast member is present and really very little happens.
Give me high jinks or give me death!
Like, at least help Lisette understand the gravity of what shes inheriting.
I want a tight close-up on Harrys face during that entire story.
If this is what adults are doing at dinner parties, c’mon, never invite me.
The exercise, of course, gives us a way to check in on everybodys storyline.
Its very efficient from a recappers perspective, if nothing else.
Certainly not the rules of comedy hey-o!
When Miranda first arrives, she finds Che in their old fingering corner and they make amends.
Che promises to never do those jokes or talk about Miranda onstage again.
They apologize, which is nice!
They were hurting from the fact that Miranda completely ghosted them post-breakup.
The two of them agree that their relationship was a train wreck, but a meaningful one.
Still, Che remains adamant that their jokes were in fact really funny and that feels on brand.
Reader, I laughed and laughed.
They are not the kind of laughs Che wants, but hey, still a laugh, right?
Regardless, Miranda is making good on her promise to not just cut people out of her life anymore.
Things are looking up!
Even Anthony tells them to get a room.
This whole storyline still feels shoehorned-in, but well see whatseason three(!!!)
brings us in the LTW department.
Seema is letting go of distrust.
Ravi, however, makes it clear that he feels the same way about her.
If Seemas happy, Im happy!
And then theres the host of this Last Supper.And Just Like Thats Jesus Christ, if you will.
Its both a nice sentiment and a huge dig at her late husband.
But the win is short-lived.
He has some major news.
Instead, he wants her to wait until Wyatt isnt a teenager anymore five years.
Then he can be done prioritizing his kids, or whatever.
Prioritizing your kids is a good thing, but asking a woman to wait five years for you?
Especially after she sold her apartment and bought a big fancy one for you guys to live in.
No one can make snapping sexy, okay?
And yet, Carries into it.
No one explains the parameters of this setup Can she sleep with other people?
Does he really not want her to visit once in five years?
but regardless, Carrie is willing to wait for her man to come back to her.
(Im not the biggest Big fan, but,yeesh.)
And so, time will literally tell if these two kids can actually make this thing work.
Everyone is getting what they need, it seems.
They might choose Greece instead of the Hamptons, but theyre still drinking cosmos.
you’re able to take the girl out of the city, etcetera, etcetera.
Deeply hungover Charlotte is maybe my new favorite Charlotte?
To show he really does support her, Harry goes out and gets Charlotte a new, non-margarita-filled phone.
So, I get it.
The choices surrounding this show remain a mystery.
Thats comedy, baby!
I cant tell anymore.)
