Virginia or New York? Aidan or brunch? Maybe the end of this chapter in Carrie Bradshaw’s story shouldn’t be that clean.
. In the original “SATC,” Carrie’s series-long great love was Noth’s Mr. Big — an emotionally unavailable business mogul whom Carrie nonetheless pined for and eventually bagged. Aidan was a two-season detour. In the reboot, we’re now supposed to see Aidan as the one who got away. After a whirlwind rekindling between the two, Carrie wonders out loud whether her whole marriage to Big was a mistake.
, while Miranda instead became, in her words, “a sexually confused alcoholic who’s in the midst of a divorce.”But I’ve been watching it anyway, out of respect for my past self. I was in high school when “SATC” first aired. My friends and I were deeply curious about the worlds of these women a few decades older than us, and I remain curious about them now.
