The Carrie Diaries Recap: UpChuck and Di

The Carrie Diaries

Walt shows up at Mags, kisses her and the go upstairs and pork. Now I think Walt has some explaining to do. WTF?!!? Wasn’t there a 90210 episode where Kelly goes out with a football player who is really gay and she tries to get it on with him?

In voiceover, Carrie explains “Halloween is about trying on different versions of ourselves so we don’t have to face who we are.

Vulnerable:

Taking off makeup while hallucinating sucks

What we want for ourselves and what we want to be:

I wish this was Rob and/or Chad Lowe

Our fear of change:

I think she has a head injury

When our masks come of we have nothing to hide behind. No matter who you are, going through it is better to have people to share it with. I’m glad I’m not an island.”

So that’s it. Tune in next week- there appears to be a Donna LaDonna sighting. And let’s see what 90210 episode they rip off next week.

    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 . . .
