This was a funny episode. Samatha's speech about giving a man a blow job is up there with America Ferrera's speech in Barbie. Plus, SATC put the phrase "funky spunk" into the lexicon. This was the episode also where Charlotte got engaged and it wasn't the storybook proposal she dreamed about.
Rewatching this series after 20 years, I am struck by how weak and selfish Carrie was in regard to her relationship with Aidan. Big moves to Paris, gives no thought to Carrie when he does so or even lets her know this big life move will happen. He returns engaged to Natasha and then marries her once back in NYC. In the meantime, Carrie moves on, meets Aidan, a sweet, cute boyfriend who loves her just the way she is, doesn't play games, and would do anything for her. He's like a loyal puppy. You'd think Carrie would be happy, but no, she prefers the man who treated her like dirt and would never commit. I never could figure out what was so wonderful about Carrie's relationship with Big that she would want him back after how he treated her.
Later on in the episode, Big tells her he can't stop thinking about her, starts a little stalking when she is not with Aidan. He finds her at the hotel where she is working (because Aidan is fixing up her apt) gets her in an elevator and tells her he loves her and kisses her - and Carrie goes off and has sex with Big!! She has no concern that he's still married and only reached out to her because his marriage is in trouble, or that she has a serious boyfriend.
I couldn't help but wonder, does she only want the man she can't have or does she have no self respect?
