Episode Three: the freak show

The above quote is my sister’s favorite from the show, but then they ruin it by adding, out of nowhere: “and in the mean time, we always have Manhattan.” I just don’t get the little Manhattan reference at the end. The show is often a love letter to NYC, but in this episode, that was barely a factor. I guess they had to cram it in there somewhere, like the very last line.

I find it hard to believe that Samantha was turned off by the S&M guy’s torture chamber. I would have thought that was right up her alley.

In the bathroom when the girls are talking about Mr. Pussy, Carrie sprays perfume in her hair. I think this is really sexy for girls and I used to do it all the time until I read that it is really damaging for your hair. But so is smoking, and she does that too.

I want to know what used bookstore Carrie and the kleptomaniac are shopping at. Is it the Strand?
