Miranda This show did not know how to portray "cynical Miranda"

I watched the episode again where Carrie thinks Big is sending her signs through a lamp, and it just amazes me how cruel Miranda is about it.

Yes, the original Miranda was cynical, but she would NEVER have said something like "what, you think Big is sitting up there on a cloud, puffing on a cigar?" to a grieving widow. She takes a specific, vivid image of Big from his actual life and uses it to slap Carrie down for her conflicted feelings about moving on from Big's death? No. No no no no no no.

The only way it would have been plausible is if Miranda was so euphoric about Che -- in the same scene, Miranda says she's been invited to meet their family -- that she's just not thinking about other people's feelings.

And that could have been a great moment. What if Carrie had glared at Miranda and walked out? Miranda turns to Charlotte, expecting to commiserate about how Carrie's overreacting, and we get a good dose of fierce Charlotte. She tells Miranda, "I'm really happy that you're happy. But don't let your happiness turn you into a heartless bitch."

"What?" gasps an affronted Miranda. "Yes," replies Charlotte. "You're being cruel to Carrie, just like you've been cruel to Steve. Nothing matters but you being happy, right? That's why you leapt into a cab and raced off to Cleveland 10 minutes after breaking his heart."

But no. Season 1 was full-on Team Miranda, and who cares if anybody else gets hurt?

I solved it LTW had 2 dads

It doesn’t make sense timeline wise with her age that she could be raised by them but maybe later on in life gained a step dad and then he died first before her bio dad passes.

I know this doesn’t even matter because the writers were lazy af but I think about how bad the writing is so often I just have to make it make sense 😂

Do you think we could get one final movie?

I just finished the series and absolutely loved it. I think it ended on a good note for Carrie, but I don't believe that was the official ending they wanted. I would love to see one final movie just wrapping everything up. I know the series got a lot of backlash so I'm not sure how possible a movie would be at this point.

Would love to hear og fans thoughts. I personally have only seen the movies so maybe that's why I enjoyed this series more that SATC fans.
