Another favorite: Big shows up at Aiden's country house, and a 'basketball game' turns into a fight in the mud. So sexy.
Oh, I also love the one with Miranda's wedding and Sam finding out that she has breast cancer, CJR.
Me too, Evelyn! What was it, "Batman versus the Green Hornet"? "She could reach me, but I couldn't reach her..." ad nauseum, apparently something Chris Noth always used to tell Darren Star about a past relationship of his.
I still maintain that Aidan is the perfect man. I never bought that Big really appreciated Carrie in the end of season 6, just that now she was with "the Russian" and he hated having something out of his reach.
Oh, slightly off-topic, but has anyone seen the commercials for the new Matthew McConnaughey movie co-starring SJP?
My all-time favorite episode is "Ex and the City," when Big tells Carrie that he's engaged and she gets so upset, and then she says "Don't you say her name, dont you dare say her name to me" and then she calls Natasha "Natinski" or something weird like that. Her acting in that episode is spectacular, at the end she visits Big at the engagement ceremony and she tells her a line from the movie The Way We Were (cant remember the line), then he says "I don't get it" and Carrie says "And you never did." That's the last episode of season 2, so well-written, too brilliant.
"Your girl is lovely, Hubbell." :)

Oh yes, she called her Naginski! hahaha
I truly believe Big and Carrie were right for each other... but maybe it's because I was in a relationship pretty much mirroring theirs and I can see the view from the inside.
If in Heaven you don't excel, you can always party down in hell...
"squirrels are just rats with cuter outfits"- the mud brawl between aiden and big is priceless
"please don't hate me"-whens she gets busted at the end for smoking pot and the cop goes "i'm sorry,i can't. please don't hate me"
the one where natasha catches carrie in her bedroom. My eyes were compltetely glued to the screen!
Last one! "Absolut hunk" - the one where samantha discovers 'smith' (i think his name is smith- or she changes it to smith) and goes to his opening performance and its a crappy show until he does this monologue compeltely naked. Then she gets all into it
How could I forget "your girl is lovely, Hubbell"? She says it with such strength, and when she leaves her hair is blowing, and she's wearing that spectacular white dress, that episode is flawless. Thanks, sweetestsiren.
had to be the one where they were all horribly disfigured in a waxing adventure gone wrong and then suffered the pains of hell for days before slipping into chocolate induced comas never to revive.
this one was pretty early in the run..i think...but the girls are at some kind of sex demonstration and Miranda's face ends up covered in ejaculate.
Ray, "Ex and the city" is my favorite, favorite episode. I know it by heart!!! It's so amazing and so emotional..I love how they start talking about the movie and then they start singing the theme song - it's so cute!
When Natasha catches Carrie and then falls down the stairs trying to talk to her...My gosh, that was just so sad..And so well played by both actresses.
My favorite Miranda-Steve moment was in the episode "One", when she finally tells him that she loves him while they're in the closet, lighting the candle for Brady's birthday cake...I must have watched that particular clip a gazillion times! It's just so romantic and rewarding for us viewers who've watched this relationship for so long.
The episode where Samantha dates the old rich guy and can't sleep with him because of his butt. The scene where he keeps giving her gifts at the dinner table while the servant rolls her eyes was a comic tour-de-force for Kim Catrall.
Who else loved the part when Samantha and Richard are swimming and dancing together on the roof-top pool? Wonderfully played by both actors, especially Kim.
I was always impressed at how well Kim Cattrall dealt with nudity, especially in that episode when she tries to be so sexual and Richard shows her how a moment can just be natural regardless of whether they're naked or not, it is a wonderfullly acted episode.
I'm glad there's other "Ex and the City" lovers, I think that's the episode that I watch whenever I get depressed about things not working out with my Mr.Big because he found his own "Naginski." But the end of that episode is such an empowering moment, the rest of the show is so funny, yet oyu get the chance to see Carrie growing as a woman. Love it!
I LOVE John Corbett - So I love the show where he asks Carrie to just lay there with him and rub his belly - I'd be in HEAVEN!

To me, that episode clearly defined how very different Carrie and Aiden were, and how it ultimately wouldn't work.
That and I think I'd have issues with the man in my life asking me to 'rub his belly' after I found him asleep with a bucket of KFC next to him lol
But that's just me
If in Heaven you don't excel, you can always party down in hell...
Remember the "ewwww"-inducing moment when Charlotte dates the Bad Kissing Guy? I think that was the episode about what's the relationship deal-breaker. Fantastic!
Love the avatar, jimmirae! I see what you mean about the JFC belly part being the defining moment in their relationship. But after Aidan came back and he was all svelte and hot and put-together and...*swoon*
One thing's for certain - I'm damn glad she didn't wind up with The Russian. Hate!
Did anyone catch Heather Graham's new ABC pilot tonight? "Emily" something or other. Touted as being a SATC-esque show. I tuned in and lo and behold, Heather Graham isn't the only SATC alum, but her best friend is played by the woman in the same SATC episode she was on - the "Whoo-shee!" SNL casting assistant (Aidan's ex, who ran into Carrie in the bathroom, and then again in the Village).
Unfortunately, aside from some nice eye candy (Victor Webster - aka Days Of Our Lives' Nicholas Alamaine), the show is pretty lame.
The one where Aidan says "Just lay here and rub my Belly" - YUM!!!
I'm Aidan's Booth Bitch 4 Life!!

i have SOOO enjoyed reading this thread...
i loved that "don't say her name, don't you dare say her name to me"...
there are sooo many wonderful scenes in that show.
how about the fashion show with margaret cho? "oh my God, she's fashion roadkill"
we could go on and on all night!
i love the fart episode..that was on tonight...when she goes under the covers and Big says "i think it might be worse under there!" and she gets up and bumps into the door..then the next day at dinner Big puts a whoopee cushion on her chair! LOL!!
it wasn't the f-ing fart carrie!! ahahah
I love the episode with Margaret Cho and Alan Cumming, so funny. Does anyone remember "Shortcomings" when Carrie is dating the short story writer who finishes before anything starts and he has an awesome family? I love that episode.
Just for the record, I liked the KFC Rub My Belly Aidan - yes he came back looking nice the next season, But he can work my wood any day or, Night he wants to!
Didn't they say:
Carrie: "I wax your wood!"
Aidan: "You wax it real good!"
Did they really say that? Now, that is too much for me to handle.
Yeah, Just before Aidan goes to get them coffee & Big & Natasha show up!! It's in there, and I'm the Booth Bitch!! Ta-Da!
