Live Blog | Sex and the City Marathon S5E7 through S6E2

(note: I do not condone any of the immorality in the show, nor any immorality in general.)

So, I started watching Sex and the City a few months ago, maybe in March. I was bored, it was on, and I was curious. I ended up watching a 4-8 hour marathon. It's on again today, so I decided to watch it as I can't sleep! so I'm going to live blog it!

**Spoilers!**

So in the first episode I watched today, Season 5, episode 7, "The Big Journey": The brunette woman, Charlotte York, is "seduced" by Harry, a man she at first finds physically repulsive, into hooking up with him. Carrie goes to San Francisco by train to promote her book, 'Sex and the City" at a book reading, where it turns out she's simply opening for a famous dog, Mr. Winkle, and where she runs into "Mr. Big". She tries to hook up with him and even convinces Samantha to stay in a different hotel room so that Carrie can, but he was playing hard to get, so they just went to dinner, and he told her how he read her book cover to cover and realized just how much he hurt her. She tried to cover up her feelings and use the excuse: oh, that's not true; I was just embellishing. He ended up sleeping in her hotel room, he fell asleep reading her book.. Again.

The next episode, Season 5, episode 8, "I love a charade": Charlotte confessed to the group that she wasn't into the bald guy that "seduced" her, but the sex was good. She was embarrassed to be seen with him, and it was like "The Bachelorette and the Beast." She told him straight up that it wasn't a relationship and they weren't a couple, that it was "just sex" to her. Samantha threw a pool party with her friends at the Hampton mansion that she shares with her ex-husband, Richard Wright; one weekend she gets the mansion, the other weekend he gets it. And a bunch of young hussies show up and crash her party. At the end, Charlotte realizes that she may be falling for the guy she's been hooking up with, and he reveals he can't marry her, because he's Jewish and can only marry a Jewish woman, because it's tradition. Miranda has been hanging around the father of her baby, though I don't think they ever really had a relationship or were ever in love before, and she starts to develop feelings for him. Carrie is seeing a man named Jack Berger; he randomly ditched her at Samantha's party, but redeemed himself in her eyes later (at the wedding). The girls attend the wedding of a great socialite and lounge singer (played by Nathan Lane) who is being wedded to a rich woman, but they are confused as they thought he was gay. Carrie realizes the cycles of dating, where "some people are settling down, some are settling for less, and some people just refuse to settle for anything less than the standards they pre-set for their relationships".

In the third episode that I'm watching, which is Season 6, episode 1, "To market, to market": Miranda realizes she's in love with the father of her baby, and currently on a first date with him, only he just broke it to her that he's seeing a new girl. Samantha gets involved with a 'young guy' who is a stockbroker who gives her insider tips while they hook up, and later he gets arrested. Carrie runs into ex, Aidan, who turns out to have a baby, Tate, and has a wife who is a furniture designer. Carrie is still seeing Berger.

Season 6, episode 2, "Great Sexpectations": the next episode just started. Carrie is seeing Berger again. She's with the group telling them about her first time with Berger. They have great communication and they get along so well, but she thinks that their sexual chemistry is horrible. Samantha checks out a waiter; they're probably going to hook up. Charlotte has news; she's going Jewish. Miranda is in denial about her how hurt she is, so she plans to spend a lot of time with her so-called new 'boyfriend', TiVo, but she's inconsolable when, sadly, all of her programs are deleted when her mother sits on the remote. Charlotte keeps trying to talk to the Rabbi about becoming Jewish, only to be ignored and have the door shut in her face multiple times. She consults Harry, and he tells her it's just "the game they play". They turn you down at least 3 times to see if you're really serious about it. Carrie hooks up with Jack Berger again, and she still thinks it was bad. She talks to Samantha, who tells her to never mention that the sex is bad, because that's just a downer, and that she should just "get drunk and buy lingerie and spice things up". Charlotte shows up at the Rabbi's house with Kosher wine as a gift, and he still shuts the door in her face. She knocks again and his wife answers to say that her husband can't see her, but she barges in to talk to him, and says she doesn't have time for the games, she's 27 and in love with a Jewish man, which took her 20 years to find. Carrie goes on a date with Berger, they get drunk and go home, and before they even hook up, she makes a bit of a fool of herself. Samantha is at the raw food restaurant to "seduce" the waiter, when she realizes that all the other girls there are "competing" for him. Finally, it's just her and one other woman, whom she finally confronts and says something along the lines of: "you don't know who you're dealing with. I'm going home with him, and you're going home with key lime custard. Give up, and I'll pay for your dinner." For a second, the other woman looked like she was going to put up a fight, but she said "okay", and they got the check, and Samantha went home with the waiter, and they hooked up. Berger and Carrie finally have "the talk" about their sexual chemistry, and realize they're just overthinking it, and it's just because of nerves. "We should be smoking, not choking." Jack Berger says. After talking it out, they have premarital intercourse.
