An Emotional Support Circle For Those Who Watched The First Episode Of “And Just Like That…”
All the spoilers ahead.
There will be no preambles for this article. Here on out, we are holding hands, showing our greys, and crying into our coffee mugs.
Apparently, Peloton stock dropped on Friday after the “Sex and the City” reboot’s first two episodes released on Thursday. This is obviously not surprising, as that was the worst product placement EVER.
Who takes their 1,000th ride to drop dead?
And then who comes home to their husband having a heart attack right next to the overflowing shower with his cell phone getting wet and doesn’t grab his meds or call 911?
Most of all, why are these television writers trying to make our hearts stop with grief and horror at their execution of our beloved Mr. Big??
Did you sob for hours into your couch cushions, pausing only to call someone you trust enough to listen to you hysterically cry about the death of a fictional character?
Did you make a mountain of wadded up, tear-filled Kleenex on the living room floor?
Did you do the mental math to figure that Mr. Big might’ve been in his late sixties, which is hardly super young but also way too young to go?
Did you get angry that he wasted so many goddamn years messing it up with Carrie rather than showing up for the best relationship of his life? Did you want to take this anger out on anyone in your life who has avoided showing up for you?
Did you ask aloud why Big had to smoke that one last cigar, let alone before attempting a fitness class?
Did you think that at least he didn’t have to sit through that exhausting kids’ music recital? We’re clearly being set up for Miranda to need AA and Rose to wear a tuxedo to the school dance, but for real, no paper cup wine or knit animal hat can make such an event bearable.
Did you look up Chris Noth’s IMDb profile to ensure that the actor himself is indeed doing just fine? He’s 67. He’s married to a 39 year old woman. They have two kids and three houses, including one in the Berkshires. He maybe didn’t even want to do the reboot, so maybe this getting written off…
