Anyone watching the SATC reboot? Major spoiler inside...

[AustinTink]

How could they kill him off in the first episode??!! I haven't watched the second one yet. I'm traumatized.

 

[TeresaBelle]

Very depressing, and I'll never again be able to listen to Hello It's Me again without crying.

 

[neverlandsky]

Haven't seen it yet. Plan on watching later.

Yet from the trailers to me it seems like Big is dead. Makes sense if he is. They were on and off in the show. The first movie, stood up at the alter and broke off to get married at the end of just the them two. The second movie testing their marriage and the idea of what marriage should be like and no kids. So with the new show it would make sense for Carrie to grieve her husband and try to navigate this new chapter of life without him with her support system. In order to continue on, Big has to go. Yet he will be in flashbacks. That's my theory because relationship wise, she's done it all except grieving widow and the trailer seemed to be leaning that way as well. .

If my theory is correct, it's not the first SATC shocking death, remember Lexi Featherston's death. "When did everyone stop smoking. When did everyone couple up? Whatever happened to fun? I'm so bored I could just die" and she pushes on the open window, loses balance, grabs the curtain, it rips and out the window down to her death she goes. Shocking everyone. Carrie saying it was the first time Lexi ever left a party early.

Just watched the 2nd episode. The photo montage...

Why did they bring Susan Sharon back, even for a cameo? One of the worst SATC characters in my opinion.

Lexi was played by the gal from 3rd Rock from the sun. She was great as Lexi.

I thought this was coming out on Dec 16th? Did they drop the whole season?

I haven't watched it. If Big is dead, I might. I HATED him. Not happy with Samantha not being on the show. I understand why, but I hate her not being there.

I heard rumors Big was going to be dead. They didn't show him filming any scenes around the city. He's a regular on The Equalizer. When asked if he was in the SATC reboot, he said he hadn't been asked to be on the show. Then came the rumors. . .

I don't want to see the reboot. What a stupid premise. Following Carrie around as she mourns for Big??? Big was an intrinsic part of SATC. He was there in the beginning. He was there throughout, even when she was seeing other guys, she always came back to Big. Then the first movie was about the failed wedding and and her mourning the loss of that relationship. Then the second movie was about her & Big.

So, now people are supposed to follow her withOUT Big???

As much as the women in the series was always trying to show how strong and independent they were, they were incredibly focused on men, their insecurities over men, their meeting & dates with new men. Their clothes and what to wear. What the men said and did and what all the girls though the various guys meant. And their breakups with guys.

For Carrie, BIG was always "the One." Who wants to watch a depressing show where at 50+, mourning at first, then she's starting all over again like she's thirty-something, meeting guys and having all the insecurities and problems she had then?

I don't.

Then there's Samantha's not there. While I always felt she grew the least of all the women, she was intrinsic to the four women. They all bounced off of each other in different ways and provided something the other women couldn't. So, she's not there, and Big isn't there.

I am going to give it a try. I really will miss Samantha. It is just something about the four of them together that was magic. Not sure if I will like it, sometimes re-boots work, other times things should just be left alone. I think they wanted to do a third movie. I had heard in an interview they had a script and everything, but Kim C did not want to sign on so they scrapped it. Not sure if that was true.

I think they wanted to wrap up the series since the second movie was such a bomb and maybe this reboot gives them closure. I actually liked the second movie, but I may be the only one on earth who did.

I don't.

That's exactly where thy are going with the series. Heaven knows why.

Looks like you can watch it now.

Just two episodes so far.

Same.

During the Team Big vs. Team Aidan days, I was always Team Big. What can I say, I'm drawn to bad boys. Luckily my husband is a good boy in a bad boy shell.

That death was played for laughs. Who cared about Lexi Featherston? The death of a core character is far, far, far different and this show is no longer the comedy it used to be. Who the heck wants to watch something this depressing during the current climate? Not me.

I love SATC but wow, that was so hard to watch. I was looking forward to seeing them together. I thought a death would be the actor who passed away. Watching all of the reminders about aging was hard enough without the death hitting so fast.

I read an interview with the show‘s producers who said that Willie Garson’s actual death would not be in the show because it wasn’t “charming”. Say what? And this was???

I am a SATC huge fan... I was going to wait until the whole thing was available before I started.

I sat down this evening to watch look for a Christmas movie on HBO max on the FireTv and I saw the ad for "And Just Like That"... I could not help myself, I just HAD to watch it.

At first, it was so comforting and it had a "home again" feeling. I started to suspect something was wrong during that part near the end of the first ep... and I was like telling myself oh I am just reading too much into this (I had heard the rumors they were supposed to kill off Big if there was a third movie)... and OMG It was like I got punched or something. I was so shocked and devastated. Wow, just wow. I had to take a few moments to stop crying before starting the 2nd ep. I also caught the tidbit that Bobby Fine died from Covid at some point... very sad. I guess they wanted to keep the show "current" and emotional. It just hit really hard.

I was wondering how they were going to handle Stanford considering what happened with him for real. It's very sad.

I definitely plan to watch the rest of it, it has definitely ventured far from being a comedy anymore.
