Episode Nine: old dogs, new dicks

I don’t know how, but I forgot about this episode. Carrie punches Big in the face! How I forgot that, I don’t know, but I had to rewind it twice, I was laughing so hard.

Of course, “physical violence is never the answer,” as Mr. Big says, so I’m kind of shocked that it’s worked into the show. I guess they be keepin it real, or something.

This is the first time I’ve noticed the “Carrie” necklace, which will be with us until the very last episode. Must watch for it in the movie.

I love Steve even more in this episode, because he and Miranda split up, then she’s lying awake at 2 a.m. and he calls to tell her about the blue moon. It’s like, you have a fight with someone, and you’re up thinking about it at some ridiculous hour and you want to talk to them but you don’t know if they’re awake/with someone else/still pissed at you. Just perfect timing. Completely inappropriate and risky on his part, but perfect.
