That Again, Again

Fine, FINE, let’s talk about the Season 2 “And Just Like That” full trailer (man, they really do tease these things out). Given that the SATC universe is one of the few franchises to address perimenopause/menopause in its characters lives — in addition to all the other so-called taboos this wildly imperfect but also wildly influential show has tackled — its ongoing incarnation remains of interest.

Last season brought us our fabulous Foursome Threesome all happily interacting with their new Emotional Support POC Friends. The addition of Sara Ramirez, Nicole Ari Parker, Sarita Choudhury and Karen Pittman was welcome, if somewhat superficial. So I hope the new season allows these women’s stories to be better fleshed out instead of remaining in the Friend Zone. I also want to address the ongoing onscreen relationship between the show’s real-life queers, Cynthia Nixon and Sara Ramirez. As much as I think these two very talented actors have ZERO onscreen chemistry together, I hope for good things between Miranda and Che because the world could always use more representations for unconventional queer partnerships — especially now. I just truly hope if they insist on exposing us to Che’s “comedy,” they get better at the actual comedy part. Just..be funny maybe? Just a suggestion.

p.s. And, yes, I am purposely ignoring the Big A reveal because hetero relationships always get all the press already and I already told you my most salient observation about him which is that he is very, very tall.
