The End of "Sex and the City"

How it probably should end:

Carrie: Gets her own HBO show based on her column (very po-mo). Still dating New Guy (Berger, was it?), and still on again/off again with Big.

Miranda: Marries Steve, more as a companionship/convenience thing than anything else.

Charlotte: Adopts baby, goes back to work at her gallery.

Samantha: Decides to move to Paris, because she realizes she’s run out of men (and women) in NYC.

Last shot is of the four of them, walking arm in arm down the street into the distance.

How I’d like it to end:

Carrie: Is finally arrested by the fashion police for dressing like a sex clown. Big and Aiden run off together, sick of her whining, and refuse to bail her out.

Miranda: Finally sells the damn baby to Charlotte.

Charlotte: Buys the damn baby, and lays down an extra $5 for Steve to clean up after it.

Samantha: Rips off her “Kim Cattrall” Photoshop overlay and reveals that she’s been, all along, an animated cartoon character, as we’ve suspected.

Thank you! I thought that I was the only one out there who thought that her wardrobe was 99% crap (well, Mr. Gretchen thought so, too. Oh, and a friend of ours, who while watching his first episode of Sex and the City wondered if Carrie’s character was going to some sort of weird costume party.)

Carrie a style icon? A fashion leader? On what planet? I’m always baffled at chick magazines that claim that Sex and the City is the new force in forging fashion. Yeeesh.
Sex Clown! Hee Hee!! snork!!

Damn. I had a few good ideas before the thread loaded but I can’t top Eve. I’m just glad that it’s ending.

Yeah, yeah. I can hear you all yelling that I shouldn’t watch it if I don’t like it but Mrs. H loves the show and I watch it with her. The things I do for that woman…

Haj

Heh, I used to make my babe rent Sex and the City DVDs and watch them with me. For hours on end, we’d sit on that couch unmoving. Good times. Btw, funny OP. :stuck_out_tongue:

I always treated Carrie’s wardrobe the same way I treat Haute Couteur - fun to look at, but really, noone’s gonna wear that stuff.

(BTW - I know that’s not how you spell Haute Couteur, but I’m kinda tired and don’t feel like looking it up. So shoot me. )

you were nearly there, Haute Couture

you might even claim it was a typo :slight_smile:

When people find out my 81-year-old mother watches Sex and the City, they say, “Omigosh, isn’t she shocked?” I say, “She certainly is—calls me and says, ‘Did you see that ghastly outfit Sarah Jessica Parker was wearing? Did she get dressed in a burning building or something?’”

Some of Carrie’s clothes were cute, but some of it was just too experimental…even for upper-class New York Slut Socialites. It’s hard to look “bad” when you look as cute as Carrie, but she definitely had some bad days. I really hate when she wears men’s tighty-whities. And that pink tu-tu at the beginning of the show has to GO! But I’d give a purty for her shoe closet. Lots and lots of high heels! WooHOO!

Sorry to see the show go…still think the writing is one of the best of any sitcom ever.

Carrie’s clothes were a little over the top, but when I lived in New York, I saw a lot worse on the street passing for fashion (anybody remember those winter jackets that looked like full length sleeping bags?) Plus, Sarah Jessica could wear a Taco Bell bag and it would look good on her (and probably fit).

My ending:

Carrie starts an affair with a fictional Mayor of NY and two weeks later, the Mayor is chain-smoking and no smoking regulations in NY are dropped. Next season Sarah Jessica moves to ABC in a remake of Green Acres and names the pig, Mr. Big.
Miranda becomes a judge and gets her own “Judge Judy” show (a spin off series, Night Courtin’ on UPN).
Charlotte moves in with Rosie O’Donnell (reality show on MTV).
Samantha gets a sex change and can finally date those cute boys in Chelsea (a spin off series on Showtime, “Queer In The City”.)

As long as the it involves Carrie and a flaming hot dog cart collision I will be happy.

What, that is not nice? :smiley:
MeanJoe - who loves the show, hates Carrie.
