Whoa… she is looking to get her Dad’s ass kicked for sure, Connecticut rugrats are brutal. The Dorrit watching Poltergeist and wants NOTHING to do with her Dad.  She is so mean to him. I love it.

Carrie gets Larissa into bed, jumping off the roof didn’t really work, so now Larissa is going to pass out.

LSD = notorious sedative

Yeah, right, because ecstasy and LSD really put you to sleep. If I took that in 1984 I would STILL be awake. Carrie is a little jealous of Larissa and her lifestyle. In NYC everyone is an island, but in Connecticut, everyone is connected and Carrie finds herself taking care of all of them. She wishes she were an island. Larrisa tells Carrie that she may be an island, but she has to, constantly, keep checking out all of the other islands to see who has what and how she can be better than the other islands. And people wonder why drugs are illegal. Larissa passes out. Everything Carrie admired about Larrisa is what makes Larissa miserable. And what makes Carrie miserable- taking care of everyone- is exactly what Larissa needs.

Cheers Queers!

Back with the gays, Bennett and Walt are talking. Bennett tells Walt- this is New York City, anything can happen. Walt wishes he could be as FABULOUS as Bennett. Well girl, step #1 is to leap out of that closet!

In Connecticut, Mags suggest they “stick it to Sebastian” by drinking all of his booze. Mouse thinks Mags really likes to look for trouble. But then Mouse spies the classic Pac Man cocktail table, pulls some quarters from her pocket and starts to play. Oh Mouse, you are such a nerd.

Bennett and Walt have moved down to the street, where a couple is openly kissing. Walt is shocked. Because no one kisses in Connecticut. Bennett tells Walt that he has to lighten up and open up. He shouldn’t be embarrassed by anything, but it’s good to be scared.

This is the international hand signal for “toss my salad.”

Walt says his heart is racing, and he grabs Bennett’s hand and puts it on his heart… which, of course, is the international symbol for “I’m gay, hop on top of me.” Bennett leans in and kisses Walt and Walt flips his little gay wig.

I wish he was Rob and / or Chad Lowe

Bennett doesn’t understand – Walt gave him the international signal… But Walt tells him he is NOT gay AND he has a girlfriend. (both lies) and he is “not a fag!” Oooh dems fighten words!

Upstairs, Carrie is babysitting Larissa, but she really wants to get back to the party.

Sebastian sits down and plays Pac Man with Mouse.

I’m jonesing for some power pellets

    man, carrie is such an annoying sister. she’s like my sister, except i’m older. she always ratted on me for everyone and it made me want to shove her out a window. why does carrie care that dorrit wants to go tp houses? i remember when my youngest sister (aka NOT the rat) was about 15, my mom asked her if she would be tp’ing any houses on halloween, and my sister said no, to which my mom responded, “why not? loser!”

    i wonder if walt will EVER come out before the show gets cancelled. i think it’s cute, and i’m not even a fan of all things ’80s, as i don’t remember the ’80s at all (i was 5 in 1990, so for good reason), but if anything, i almost feel like sex and the city fans must not like it as much due to all the alleged inconsistencies? i have no idea because i refused to watch sex and the city, mostly because it seemed annoying and all the annoying girls i didn’t like watched it. i also never watched 90210 (i think i was definitely too young for that one, since it started when i was watching the disney channel and pbs cartoons), so i’m also not aware of the rip-offs while i watch. i wonder if it’s because they’re lazy, or because they’re actually expecting teenagers to watch this? to me, it seems like it would be more aimed at people who grew up in the ’80s. i mean, i would watch a show about high school in the late ’90s for sure.

    i love your recaps, so for the sake of continuing to read them, i hope they don’t can this show just yet.

    They should have never aired this piece of crap. My gawd a grown woman living in NYC only has a 16 year old for a friend to take care of her at her own party? Please

    I do love your recaps MisRed.

    Dorrit is a stoner extraordinaire. Why hasn’t Carrie ratted her out about that? I had a lot of crap on my sister growing up, no way would she ever narc on me to my parents like that.

    I think the expectations were too high for this show. It would be hard to follow in SatC’s footsteps, just as it would be hard if NBC tried to make a “Friends” spin-off about Ross, Monica and Rachel in high school.
    SatC the tv show had very little relationship to SatC the book. Candace Bushnell did a great job in retconning the Carrie Bradshaw character in the Diaries books and introducing Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte slowly. The writers of this series are trying to stick with CB’s books and maintain a cohesiveness with the tv show. Not an easy job IMO. I’m still mad that the Bradshaws live in Connecticutt and not the midwest. I kept picturing young Sarah Jessica Parker as Rusty from “Footloose” when I read the first book. :)

    I’m just going to say that I disliked Freyma Aygeman(sp?) since she appeared on Doctor Who. It does not surprise me that Martha Jones is a shoplifting druggie. JK

    This show is super silly. One week Carrie’s dad is like, “I don’t know if I can trust you.” And the next week, he’s all, “Have fun at that Halloween party in New York City!”

    But I love it.

    Also, I think 16 year-old Carrie is a much better friend than 30/40 year-old Carrie. I wonder what happened to make her so self-involved . . .
