Episode Two: great sexpectations

Ah, Berger. MPK is saying in his commentary that Berger was brought on the show because they wanted to put Carrie with someone like her – a wry writer. Ha.

Apparently the sales girl in La Perla got that part because she was such a huge fan of the show.

Okay, I always realized there were some similarities between my two favorite TV heroines, Carrie Bradshaw and Veronica Mars (“annoy, tiny blond one, annoy like the wind”). But this episode, for some reason, I almost forgot what show I was watching because SJP resembled Kristen Bell so closely. I don’t know what it was, maybe the side ponytail.

MPK says that Carrie hitting Berger in the face with her furry shoe was not scripted, but Ron Livingston just played it out. Nice.

Episode Nine: a woman’s right to shoes

Tatum O’Neal — the original girly-tomboy from Bad News Bears. Such a bitch in this episode, especially when she says Carrie must have a lot of time on her hands to still be thinking about their fight.

I love love the way Carrie gets revenge for all the “celebrating life’s choices” gifts she’s given Kyra. And that Kyra gets told to keep her children away from the Manolos. It only seems fitting that she has a child named “Allegra.” Ha! That kid is going to get teased — she’s got the same name as an allergy medicine.
