men and women run amok
I never watched Sex in the City when it was on the first time and have very much enjoyed getting to know everyone in repeats, at 11:00 every night, but tonight's episode is the one that gets me upset. Baryshnikov's character has swept Carrie off to Paris in a big romantic gesture, then keeps leaving her on her own while he does what he wants, so she begins to go to museums and stores by herself (which I like to do, but that's me). At a bookstore, the staff goes wild when they realize who she is and they plan a party for her - the first time she'll have anyone paying attention to her for herself since she arrived. Then the artiste has a panic attack (passive-agressive you think?) and Carrie tries to help by skipping her party (think how those nice people were left to feel) and then Baryshnikov goes off and ignores her all night, surprise, but of course he doesn't see it as abandoning her since his ego is being fed. I realize that Carrie is a spoiled brat but I hate that he's so cold and cruel, and I almost can't watch her be alone and mistreated. Yeah, okay, the rest of the episode is good as it ties things up, but I really hate the other part.
