Cynthia Nixon Defends Miranda’s Romance With Che Diaz Amid ‘And Just Like That’ Fan Backlash

Because Miranda has been rewritten as Cynthia Nixon. Of course she'll defend her.

(cont.) What Sara Thinks

The Grey's Anatomy alum, 46, isn't bothered by backlash to Che, and they don't think Che would be, either. "Che isn't here to be liked, Che isn't here for anyone's approval," Ramírez said of the character in a recent roundtable interview. "Che is not here to represent the entire LGBTQ+ community or a spectrum of Spanish-speaking people or Latin-identified people or Hispanic-identified people. They're here to just be themselves."

Nixon, for her part, actually recommended the Screen Actors Guild Award winner for the role. "I suggested them because I’ve been aware of them for so long and such a fan," the Quiet Passion actress told Barrymore, 46, noting that she started paying attention to Ramírez after seeing them in the musical Spamalot.

Kristin Weighs In

During a January appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, the host asked Davis, 56, what she thought of Che's comedy act. "Oh, Andy, don't put me on the spot," she joked. "You're going to get me in trouble with [showrunner] Michael Patrick [King]. You know, I think it's meant to be more like, 'hmm'-type comedy."

Team Steve Has Entered the Chat

"I couldn’t help but wonder…is @therealsararamirez on Team Steve? #AndJustLikeThat," Nixon captioned an Instagram photo of Ramírez wearing a pin with Eigenberg's face on it in January 2022.

I love how these deluded actresses have ruined SATC’s legacy to validate their ego.

Does she know Che is a fictional character without personal sovreignty?

I realised the truth about this turd during the election. The stuff she about Buttigieg on Twitter was absolutely disgusting.

She's not a likeable person or a good person and it doesn't surprise me her essence is creeping into screen with this pathetic character revision.

They didn't write anything in Steve's defense, which is reprehensible.

Her son brushed her off at the painting party, but the writers are inadvertently making Miranda even more of a monster by avoiding all pushback against her selfish antics.

They did make the son pretty hatable, too, but still. He's 17 and his mom just dumped his dad for a them and we haven't even seen her address it with her son, much less express any concern for him at all.

At the very least, he should lob some insults about her destructive midlife crisis at her. Or even his girlfriend could say it on her behalf.

As someone who once wanted to be a TV writer, I am quite offended that these writers are WGAw members and writing for an HBO series.

Why does Cynthia look like she's ninety years old on the show? Geez, you can make the gray hair sexy. Why is she going for the elderly spinster look?

Cattrall was smart to bail. She knew what was in store, and I can't imagine how SJP would have destroyed the Samantha character had she returned.

This whole thing was nothing but an ego boost for SJP. Davis and Nixon are too clueless to realize it. You can't go home again.

The son was at the lgbtq event, so he would look pretty hypocritical not being supportive of Miranda.

[quote] This whole thing was nothing but an ego boost for SJP.

She's paid $1 mil per episode, so that's $10 million and more than an ego boost.

[quote] The son was at the lgbtq event, so he would look pretty hypocritical not being supportive of Miranda.

That's crazy. His mother has been having an affair and just coldly dumped his unsuspecting half-deaf father after decades together. He's supposed to not give a shit she blew their family apart because he's an LGBT ally? I hope you don't really think that way. Get your priorities in order. Family > political activism. Unless you're, like, Che.

"I suggested them because I’ve been aware of them for so long and such a fan," . No you suggested HER. She is a singular person.

important stuff

[quote] The son was at the lgbtq event, so he would look pretty hypocritical not being supportive of Miranda.

Being pro-LGBTQ does not mean you have to support your mom cheating on your Dad and then leaving him for a queer person, you idiot.

Che looks like a gender non-conforming woman to me, not someone who is a collective of people or someone who can nullify the reality of their biological sex by demanding the use of a ridiculous pronoun.

[quote] "Che isn't here to be liked, Che isn't here for anyone's approval," Ramírez said

This is so Che

R14 I work in higher ed, and most people now include their pronouns in their email signatures, on LinkedIn, etc. Many apparently gender-conforming/"cis"-appearing people use they/them. I assume it's a trend but I'm curious whether or not it is.

I list my he/his/him pronouns but it kind of bums me out to do it because I have a gay voice and I get twisted joy out of people calling me ma'am on the phone before asking for my name.

They're fictional characters in a tv show. People shouldn't take it so seriously. Having said that, Che is not really a likeable character but I don't mind her myself.

The only satisfying plot twist is Miranda finding Che having sex with a young woman. Then returning to Steve and finding him in bed with a young man.

Cynthia Nixon and her out of control ego are largely responsible for the unpopularity of this trainwreck. It's cute that they've tried blaming Chris Noth when he was only in one episode....

r11 This de Blasio stan/nutjob Nixon has damaged eyesight and brain. There was certainly no "they/them" Shrek in Spamalot.

r16 That's their whole point: "Gender and pronouns and gender expression and appearances all don't have to match at all! It's how I feel inside! You don't get to judge how I identify by looking at me!"

So they can freely have an aggressive outrage game when sane people with working eyes call them with the pronouns matching their biological sex. It's all about demand, submission, control, manipulation.

Apparently the first episode was the most watched premiere episode in HBO's history. But I couldn't help but wonder: is the show going to continue to do well, since all I hear is how much people hate Che Diaz and Miranda's inexplicable behavior since meeting them?

People can say they hate it all they like, but if they still watch, HBO doesn't give a shit.

But the question is, are they still watching?

Fucking insufferable. And it's worse because some fans seem to think it's the writing. No, that's Sara in a nutshell.

I heard rumors that they ratings have plummeted but who knows for sure? I’ve been a SATC apologist forever and even like the two movies but I can’t defend this show. I watch it every week but it’s awful. I genuinely hope they get a second season and try to bring it closer back to the spirit of the original. They can keep Seema. The frowning barren professor and pointless “Mary Sue” LTW can go.

And I agree with everyone saying of course Cynthia supports it. She probably demanded this storyline to come back. I do think this has killed Sara Ramirez’s career. You’d have to watch Grey’s Anatomy to know who she is. Che’s character is off-putting but so is her humorless flat bulldagger performance.

I’m sure no one wants to take the risk of an awkward Sara Ramirez performance on-screen but I’m sure Broadway has some Public Theater lecture play they can shove her into for a money losing two week run.

George is getting very UPSET!

I would never call someone they unless I was forced to. It’s never going to be a real thing.

In the old SATC, Miranda would have discovered Che is secretly married to a man in Cincinnati, has four kids in bible school, wears a wig and goes by Cheryline.

Who the fuck wants to watch butch Sara Ramirez eat out Cynthia Nixon-with-a-hideous-wig???

Seriously, who???

Kim Cattrall was so smart to jump ship.

[quote] In the old SATC, Miranda would have discovered Che is secretly married to a man in Cincinnati, has four kids in bible school, wears a wig and goes by Cheryline.

Times have changed. No seriously, they really have and the show reflects that.

They're whining because the nonbinary character comes across as a caricature?! Have they met any of the "internationally renowned" nonbinaries? They're all ridiculous.

I know they have this fantasy all of their representation will just be some normal-looking, hot person who "just happens to be nonbinary" but come on.

[quote]Che is not here to represent the entire LGBTQ+ community or a spectrum of Spanish-speaking people or Latin-identified people or Hispanic-identified people. They're here to just be themselves."

Thry didn't say LATINX!!!! How dare they erase others from their culture!!

BROKE : We need representation, it's nice that there's a non-binary Latina character on a major program.

WOKE: Che is not here to represent the entire LGBTQ+ community or a spectrum of Spanish-speaking people or Latin-identified people or Hispanic-identified people. They're here to just be themselves.

I can't keep up.

First Carrie does nothing to help her husband having a heart attack and now Mranda. You are supposed to like and root characters.

Who is watching this drivel? Imagine Seinfeld coming back for a remake to cash in, with the characters dating trans Latinx actors.

R32 was the photo really necessary?

NOBODY is watching SATC for this shit. Nobody.

For this series, Cynthia hired her former campaign manager's daughter as an assistant. Cynthia also got the same woman a non-speaking role as a waitress in one scene. Can you say: nepotism.

To add to this bizarre Six Degrees of Separation situation, this 'nepotism assistant' lived with actor Riz Ahmed for about a year when he was working on learning drums for the Sound of Metal film while living in Brooklyn, but he always hid her.

SJP's publishing imprint, Hogarth, chose Riz's current wife, American author Fatima Farheen Mirza's book, to be the first published by her company. Fatima frantically pursued Riz while he was living with the Brooklyn based 'nepotism assistant'. No wonder SJP was giving 'nepotism assistant' odd looks in some on-set photos which are up at Getty.

R39 I can’t believe you decided to write any of that nothingness down. Are you that crazy woman obsessed with Riz?

Thanks for the background info, r39, it explains a lot. The infestation of the show by GLAAD thanks to Cynthia Nixon is also part of the problem. No way someone as talentless as Samantha Irby would have got a writing credit on such a show otherwise.

Cynthia hates Buttigieg and by extension all DLers.

R8 good lord that clip. Zero chemistry. Also I have said I've loved pizza with more passion than these 2 bitches say they love eachother. Terrible acting.

R8, Cynthia looks like every fibre of her body is screaming "I don't want to do this, I don't want to do this, I don't want to do this!" in that clip.

Having watched the clip again, another problem seems to be that Cynthia doesn't have anyone to act off. Sara is just standing there like a plank of wood and Cynthia is trying her best but her fellow actor just isn't giving her anything to work off, so she appears slightly demented and like she's over-acting, as well as being fully aware that this scene is going to turn out bad and forcing herself to get to the end of it. It's just painful to watch.

R45 I don't believe Cynthia was aware it would turn out poorly. Most of us believe the whole Che thing was her idea and she is still defending it.

Anyway, I have a feeling if the show comes back, it's going to resolve by Miranda dumping Che and saying she was just figuring her life out, Che telling her she is the kind of selfish straight person who uses queer people for navel gazing and then throws them away, we'll find out Miranda has some hidden addiction contribiting to her midlife antics, she will go into rehab and meet a nice, more down-to-Earth gal to date.

Cynthia and temple grandin broke up?

The only relatable way to end the relationship would be for Che to dump Miranda's clingy, old fashioned ass. That would free Miranda to explore her sexuality with people of other backgrounds.

I don't know what's worse---the writing , Ramirez's wooden non-acting, Miranda being played as a12 year old girl or Miranda's horrid wig(s).

What's weird is on Greys Anatomy Ramirez wasnt incredible but Ramirez was pretty good at acting in it. I guess it's the character? I see articles saying people are against Che cause they are non binary. No its cause the character is awful and Ramirez is wooden as fuck in this performance.

R46, I don't mean that Cynthia was aware Che would turn out badly - she lives in a queerio echo chamber and thinks that Che is ground-breaking and wonderful. I meant it's obvious - at least to me - that she knows that specific scene isn't working well, which is why she's over-acting, but she still can't get anything back from Ramirez.

Maybe R50 but she has said she recommended Ramirez for the role and thinks they are excellent in it.

R47, I think she’s still with Rojo Caliente.

HBO cares. They don't go in for bad reviews and junk. It cancels shows. This venture failed. If it comes back it surely has to be much changed. Don't know how that manifests.

Nixon was deluded enough to run for governor so, of course, she thinks she's done something ground breaking.

Season two could be great if Mike White were made the showrunner. They could even just do a do-over with a similar plot for each character but handle the writing with grace and nuance instead of disjointed schizophrenic messiness.

[quote]During a January appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, the host asked Davis, 56, what she thought of Che's comedy act. "Oh, Andy, don't put me on the spot," she joked. "You're going to get me in trouble with [showrunner] Michael Patrick [King]. You know, I think it's meant to be more like, 'hmm'-type comedy."

That says a lot.

I'm wondering of they're building this up so that Miranda will get her heart broken by Che and that Sara Ramirez is just here for one season.

Can someone please explain what it means when a thread is greyed out?

Not feeling Ramirez at all. in SATC Miranda was basically no bullshit character. I’m still watching AJLT and will continue to do so.

So wait, she's cis and non-binary. Am I keeping up?

I like Carrie's jewelry designer neighbor. She's about the only thing I can stomach right now.

Everyone seems to love the girl downstairs. I don't think she fits with the show at all. She seems sweet and endearingly troubled, but Carrie is an old lady who can't let go of the past and the last thing she needs is a trendy young former model to latch onto. Seema fits. Nya fits.

Jewelry neighbor is the closest Carrie will get to nurturing a daughter-figure.

It's worth exploring. And maybe it will show Carrie what a self-absorbed person she is.

And just like that, it occurred to me: Have I been a selfish, materialistic, shallow fashion victim all my adult life? And then I saw a pair of Manolos walk by that I just had to have and never get introspection another thought.

I thought it was totally out of character for Miranda to let her son's girlfriend spend nights there and flaunt their non-step sex.

Old people lose their way and their footing in the new world around them. Maybe this is being played well.

[quote] So wait, she's cis and non-binary. Am I keeping up?

She's a cis non-binary demiromantic pansexual lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun!

Why isn't Che just a stone-cold butch?

I haven’t watched, but it sounds as though the show has lost its way, and is veering into hectoring territory.

Che's appearance is a made-for-television equivalent of Nixon's wife.

The Woker it gets, the less funny it gets.

You're telling me!

Miranda won't wnd up calling herself gay. She'll be 'technically bisexual' or pansexual, it's complicated, hence Che being a manifestation of Nixon's refusal to label her way of life. The only line between Cynthia and her character, I think, is that Miranda is the 'old Cynthia' from her hetero days, and Che represents who Cynthia has become inside. I really believe the whole storyline is Cynthia Nixon's concept of suddenly meeting and falling in love with her true self. Her statement below reads just like Che's dialogue. When Che speaks into her podcast microphone, she's expressing Cynthia's worldview.

[quote] We talked last week about Cynthia Nixon's statements that she chose to be gay. Most of you guys thought her original statement was just fine, but it caused such a stir that she has now spoken out to clarify her statements.

[quote] "My recent comments in the > New York Times were about me and my personal story of being gay. I believe we all have different ways we came to the gay community and we can't and shouldn't be pigeon-holed into one cultural narrative which can be uninclusive and disempowering. However, to the extent that anyone wishes to interpret my words in a strictly legal context I would like to clarify: While I don't often use the word, the technically precise term for my orientation is bisexual. I believe bisexuality is not a choice, it is a fact. What I have 'chosen' is to be in a gay relationship.

I doubt a tv show where its main audience is straight women would want to see Miranda with another woman.

Why isn't Michael Patrick King being called out on this train wreck? The last film was terrible and this is just as bad. The power of the original is completely gone. They all look like drag kings in those ridiculous clothes, and their total lack of awareness is just baffling.

I've never watched one episode of either new or old version and I know one of the gay guys died in real life, but are there any fun gay gays on this shit show?

Darren Star needs to get KC on Emily In Paris.

After the reviews of the first season, it’ll take more than a mountain to get Kim back, on AJLT.

🤮🤮🤮🤮

"Fun gays" for ya, R96

R75... Fluff pieces where the reporter agrees to no fly zones are probably all that's being done these days. No one's really talking anymore. Nixon probably only fields questions because she's promoting Gilded Age and there's too many mainstream publications they need for that which have enough clout to say no/limited ground rules.

[quote] Che isn't here to be liked, Che isn't here for anyone's approval.

So I guess that explains why she's the first deliberately unfunny standup comedian in history. I was confused by why her act was so pathetic and lame, but it totally makes sense now.

Che isn't here to be liked, Che isn't here for anyone's approval. Che thinks blitverts and androgynous metaparcels are inharmonious! Che thinks nurf is moorfouzen! Che thinks yeet and poot! Che blrieisman anannana slallooppppp

R60 she's a female. Cis and non binary are identity politics driven, bullshit labels.

I heart R82.

I’m willing to die on the cross as the world’s only person who likes the SATC revival.

I'll bring the nails R85. Ramirez seems to miss that even if the audience truly hates a character, they want to have a connection with them and that doesn't seem to be happening here.

Anthony is hilarious. Yes, he's a minstrel show but he owns it.

R87 exactly. There are characters I hate but at least find engaging and interesting. Che sucks.

[quote][R39] I can’t believe you decided to write any of that nothingness down. Are you that crazy woman obsessed with Riz?

Woman? I'm a gay man. WTF are you going on about?

Not sure 'who' you think I am, but I do know, there was a lot of buzz on the reboot set about Cynthia hiring certain assistants because she was doing people favors, that few of these so-called assistants had any real experience in the areas they were hired to work in.

The 'nepotism assistant' doesn't even have a background in fashion, she was nothing but a glorified gofer. The other buzz, the 'nepotism assistant' is dying to get into showbiz, in any way shape or form. She's modeled and has dated other famous men besides actor Riz Ahmed.

and he's a cliche with a big, easily wounded heart of gold. This show needs that. He's kind of a Samantha substitute in that respect. I kind of wish they'd give Anthony the permanent fourth chair. He's funny. He's tiring but he's one of the biggest hearted characters on the show.

Cattral's never coming back. She doesn't need the show. The show doesn't need her now. It moved on, however inelegantly. Plus, Cattrall liked a post that called the reboot trashy. I imagine that went over well.

I didn't know Drew Barrymore's talk show was still on.

r3 sums it up

Hear, hear r21! That's exactly what this pronoun nonsense is.

Had AJTL been a big critical and commercial hit, perhaps Cattrall would have reconsidered if the money were right. But given how poorly the characters come off and how dull the show is, she's looking smarter and smarter for avoiding this mess. I'm happy she didn't let them pull her back in and ruin Samantha like they've ruined Miranda.

I can only imagine how they would've fucked with the character of Samantha in this reboot. They probably would've had her dating Laverne Cox or some insane shit like that. Cattrall was so smart to say no to this, I'm sure she has no regrets.

[quote] Plus, Cattrall liked a post that called the reboot trashy.

For all you (and SJP and Michael Patrick King) know, she liked it because she wanted to show friendliness towards the person making the comment, not because she likes the comment itself.

Making sweeping judgments about people based on what they hit the "like" button for on social media is not only one of the most awful and invasive parts of this age of no privacy, but it certainly also one of the very stupidest.

[quote] I kind of wish they'd give Anthony the permanent fourth chair. He's funny. He's tiring but he's one of the biggest hearted characters on the show.

The same sentiments were expressed when he was a semi-permanent cohost on The View. He was brought on seemingly as a favor from his friend Joy, and then brought back to substitute, and then he was there more often than Ana Navarro is now—and she is in the show's opening credits. But he didn't get the job because he isn't a woman and the whole concept of the show is that it's women talking among women. Kind of a bummer, but everyone accepted that that is what the show is.

He is definitely cast as an actor for his personality and real-life delivery. He's like Joy Behar, Susie Essman and (for those who like him) Billy Eichner: loud, brash, very annoying and yet somehow likable or even lovable anyway. Sometimes a loud curmudgeon is just what the situation calls for.

Speaking of which, shouldn't there be a non-cis woman on the View?

Or maybe a pregnant man so it can be more inclusive.

I don't think The View is that inclusive. It's ladies from child-bearing age up to post-retirement age and that's it, with the occasional gay man sidekick for a day.

HOWEVER, I did look up the woman who does the annoying voiceovers just yesterday and her style is butch-adjacent-punk and may be borderline nonbinary—but she's kept off camera. I wouldn't be surprised if she uses they/them/their.

Patricia Field and Kim Cattrall are sitting down eating popcorn and enjoying every second of this train wreck. .

Oh, Kim Cattrall/Samantha is off eating ham, egg and chip, drinking warm beer and fucking Colin Firth.

Kim's new career....

If only it had been [italic]Pat[/italic] Nixon who had a torrid affair with Che Diaz.

"Finger me, Che!!"

KC's post-SATC career hasn't been anything to write home about and I'm sure the QAF reboot will be cringe as well. Part of the reason the rhythm of the show is off is because KC is not there. If she was, it would probably gel a bit better, despite the off-camera friction. Seema is best of the new characters and is the only one they've done right, because they've actually taken time to develop her and well, she's the most Samantha-like. I hope there's a second season and that they right the ship and return some of the joy and warmth to the show. It really needs Carrie's narration to move it along and frame the scenes. It feels limp and lifeless without it. I appreciate SJP's sobering and shocking lack of vanity this time around, but they need to reanimate her and drop the mourning schtick and let her character be as colorful, messy and self-involved as she was previously. Everyone is too self-conscious and that's sucking all of the air out of the show. Michael Patrick King seems like he's out of original ideas and they would benefit from a new showrunner.

Does horse face get all the good looking guys, and the others get the dogs as usual? That was always so ridic and ugh.

[quote]they need to reanimate her and drop the mourning schtick and let her character be as colorful, messy and self-involved as she was previously.

Wait, she's sill in mourning? I haven't watched since the first episode where she sat on the floor and let her husband die without so much as getting his nitro pills that they made sure to mention he had.

What's up with Cynthia's wonky teeth? Her teeth as also very yellow. Actually her crooked teeth are three different colors.

Cynthia has money, why not get them fixed? Her teeth don't have to be blinding white or be huge like Chicklet gum, but her teeth are pretty bad for an actress. Cher had the same type of crooked four front teeth, she finally had them fixed.

It's not as if Cynthia's teeth are part of her acting like Steve Buscemi's horrible teeth. Steve is a character actor and his teeth are definitely a big part of his overall image.

Would a successful Manhattan lawyer have such awful teeth as Miranda's?

Maybe she just doesn't want marshmallow-white Hollwood chicklets. Outside the US, her teeth are not unusual looking. Every time I travel abroad, I turn on the news and the first thing I notice is that the news readers don't look like they have big white straight chompers. It's strange looking at first and then I realize that's what teeth look like—bone colored, not marshmallow colored—and American standard ones are either manufacuted and cemented on or else bleached and lasered. One day, American people will probably standardize bleaching our bones to go with the bleached hair, teeth and assholes. It's so fucking weird.

I'm American and of half British descent, and as a result my upper teeth are crowded in such a way that one is at an angle and looks like a 'snaggle tooth.' I considered for many years getting them 'fixed,' but here's what that would involve: Extraction of two or three teeth, 18+ months of braces to move the rest into place (do braces look less 'shameful' than imperfectly placed teeth because they are expensive?), and a retainer for the rest of my life. All for one snaggletooth? Nah.

I have one dental implant. Because of bone structure, the implant post is at an angle and the crown juts out over my tongue a bit and after a year it still bothers me inside my mouth. Before the implant, I had a root canal on that tooth and the crown fell off several times over a decade's time.

I've seen several people with veneers suddenly freak out and have to run away to a dentist to glue their fake tooth facade back onto their face because underneath was a jagged little fang. It's so fucking weird. Americans shame people who don't have 'perfect teeth,' but perfect teeth involve all kinds of lifelong appliances that cost many thousands of dollars, bleach that can damage tooth structure, and false facades/veneers/crowns that fall off. That's considered perfect.

As an American, I can say it is the epitome of the American way to damage the integrity of something that is practically needed in order to put across the image of perfection.

Studies show that despite the reputation of 'bad British teeth,' British people on average have healthier teeth than American people do. American people just have expensive dental treatments to make everyone look like they have dentures and they consider that to be a sign of health, whereas European people have teeth that look like teeth.

R111, as a Briton I think the whole American chemically altered, white, shining teeth thing is bizarre. But... you can still get your teeth cleaned up without the whole bleaching thing. Perhaps most ordinary people can't be bothered to do it and that's ok, but if you're going to be on a show watched by millions around the world, it might be an idea to consider your appearance.

This has become a thing recently introduced into my workplace too. It is totally optional, but I find it kinda interesting that the entire office has added their pronouns to their email signatures with the exception of myself, who is the only one who has trans friends, and my manager who has a trans child.

She's not non-binary or whatever, r101. Here she talks about being a woman in the business and you can see some photos of her, her husband and two kids.

Why on earth do you list "your pronouns", r16? Just don't do it.

I have been tempted to add pronouns to my email signature:

[quote] Pronouns: me/ME/ME!!!!

Che wasn’t funny, Che wasn’t interesting. Che didn’t have any magnetism. Miranda came off as completely pathetic mooning over Che the way she did. This was a swing and a miss.

Thoughts on Mario's impersonations?

Why does Nixon’s hair always looks so disheveled and ratty in these episodes?

Also, they’re supposed to be in their 50’s; why do they hobble as if in their 60’s?

R119 Carrie hobbles because she has a genetic hip defect and NOT BECAUSE OF OLD AGE.

Carrie is ageless, after all, and timelessly fabulous and limitlessly wealthy. She is the everywoman.

That clip of Miranda telling Che reminds me of some high school girl crushing on the bad boy at school. Same dynamics. A bit cringey.

Perhaps it's that it's out of context but the acting and dialogue is pretty bad especially the Che character.

I never felt she loved Steve - more like she settled because she wanted someone and to have a child.

They wrote it like they did and ignored it in 2022 because on a bunch of every other fronts they were as clueless in the 90s as everybody else.

Bring back Big.

True r117, and on top of that they made everyone else be amazed and blown away by Che's nonexistent charisma. It was just stupid and highlighted what a bubble the writers and producers must live in.

I thought Che had a ton of presence, on account of her aggressive, purposeful obnoxiousness, but that should repel people, not make them swoon.

Che has an interesting vibe but that dialogue and delivery - meh. If she wants Miranda then it's because she thinks Miranda will be submissive and do what she's told. Like a good wifey more in love with her husband than he is with her. A real turn-around for Miranda. Poor subservient Steve may find this amusing.

[quote] Carrie hobbles because she has a genetic hip defect and NOT BECAUSE OF OLD AGE.

I hate when some weird malady shows up as a plot device for one episode--never mentioned before or after.

Carrie insists on being in heels which doesn't really work at her age, hence the hobble rather than a strut. Ditto Miranda and Charlotte.

And all of her shoes look like they weigh ten pounds.

Of course if you're used to horseshoes. But then you think she would have a better step.

If Che were a man, his character would suffer for their sex drive. Male or female, Che is a dirtbag. A sleazy dirtbag.

She's no Lipizzaner.

Che is just creepy and not particularly funny. He/she/it sounds like a dime-a-dozen comedian who shows up at gay pride festivals.

I think it could possibly add to Che's visual appeal if she she was not styled to look like a complete bull dyke.

Is there anyone on the planet that actually LIKES Cynthia Nixon? She's been so nasty for years and seems to have turned off everybody. She reeks of self-adoration and privilege. She's also always trolling people on Twitter turning the screw on enemies like Cuomo and others. There's nothing gracious about the woman. He real life partner seems like a very nice and supportive person. But Nixon just seems crass, nasty and like she'd turn on you like a pit viper.

Carrie is well on her journey toward becoming that tiny, frizzy-headed, hunched over old New York lady made of bones and diamond jewelry wrapped in a full-length fur coat who hobbles around on stupid heels and has to wrap her fingerbones around some young person's hand to get across the street without toppling herself over and shattering into shards of bone and precious gems.

I heard a spoiler (from a reliable source) that in Season 2, they are incorporating a Benjamin Button fantasy twist, and Carrie will actually grow younger.

And I think SJP has the acting chops to pull this off.

Oh god, R135, I can see that exactly!

Anthony was the ONLY character who made any sense in this fetid turd of a revival. He was funny, he pulled no punches and he has a long history with the group. He absolutely belonged in that fourth chair full-time, and being a newly-divorced old queen would've opened a world of vintage SATC-style storylines for him.

I find that horseface only looks good whenever her hair is up in a bun.

I agree her hair looks best up, rather than that Lion King thing she seems to adore professionally and personally, but that wind tunnel bun look only made her look pulled tight and beady eyed.

The reason Carrie's styles and accessories were always big, gaudy and garish is because they wanted to balance out/distract from her bold features when she was onscreen. It's just true. Her signature style was a happy accident stemming from needing to distract from her features to make her seem soft and romantic.

Who, man, woman, animal, would want to duck Miranda?

^ Hi, it's Che Diaz!

Or is it th'I'm Che Diaz?

[quote]Also, they’re supposed to be in their 50’s; why do they hobble as if in their 60’s?

The characters 'hobble' because they are wearing ridiculous way too high shoes which the fashion industry pushes as attractive. Four inch heels with platforms, who the hell can walk around Manhattan is those ugly shoes?

Those fug shoes actually do look like horse hooves!

[quote] This has become a thing recently introduced into my workplace too. It is totally optional, but I find it kinda interesting that the entire office has added their pronouns to their email signatures with the exception of myself, who is the only one who has trans friends, and my manager who has a trans child

A lesbian coworker had Assigned Fabulous At Birth in her sig for a day and a half before she was reported.

Hopefully Miranda will cheat on Che with Che's hot Irish brother.

He identifies as a Celtic Sprite, not Irish, you racist othering labellist bastard.

Che's brother is an FTM leprechaun with a limp.

Cynthia continues to get 'nepotism assistant' more work. The 'nepotism assistant' recently 'worked' on a film with Angus Cloud from 'Euphoria' and Alex Wolff from "Hereditary'.

If Cynthia didn't get her these gigs, she'd be back sweeping floors in a Bklyn beauty salon.
