Someone’s a little defensive that their fan-fiction wasn’t received well.

Cheating doesn’t become “brave” because your partner happens to be non-binary, it’s still just cheating. Blowing up your marriage and ditching your career, family, and friends for someone who has said they’re not that into you may be construed as “brave,” if you squint really hard, but I think there are better words…

Sure, but again, it’s the framing that’s the problem for me. The show doesn’t present her choice as Miranda making an impulsive decision out of fear or even buyer’s remorse. It’s right there in the headline. We’re supposed to believe Miranda is making bold, self-actualizing choices. And that just seems silly to me.

I agree, and this recalls something I’ve been thinking about - no show can rise above the level of the talent that put it together. If the writers are narcissists, the characters they write will share the same flaw; if there’s no chemistry between the actors, the on-screen relationship will fall flat. Take “Hamlet”…

It just comes off as Nixon wanting her character to be gay, which required a quick torpedoing of her relationship with Steve.  See ya, bud!

i never said 55 year old women were old. YOU INFERRED THAT. I just said 55 was old. For anybody, period-but i suppose in the atmosphere we live in now where everybody is knocking themselves over trying to score points off people for not being PC enough, I should’ve specified i meant it for EVERYBODY.

i didnt call WOMEN at 55 old, i just said 55 was old. Period. 

I think the issue isn’t that Miranda treated Steve poorly. It’s that the show does not frame her treatment as bad. It focused on mocking Steve and stripping his character of dignity to make Miranda’s choices look better. It wasn’t willing to present her choices as complicated. Also, her role as a parent was so…

i guess 55 isnt that old if youre a celebrity, have a trainer, in home gym, nutritionist, plastic surgeon, etc. But if youre a broken down regular person whos been working regular jobs since you were a teenager, 55 feels fuckin old.

Almost there. So believe me i know what old is.

Well you’re completely wrong on #1, but spot on with #2. Two things Nixon should stay out of: politics and the writers’ room.*

Miranda’s storyline... was Cynthia’s storyline when she met Rojo Caliente.

Yo.

Thank you. No more TV people in office please. Nice to see Cynthia so attached to helping us NYers that she went right from running for a major office with no experience to back to being an actor. 

problem is shes playing a character, not Cynthia Nixon. Or shes supposed to be.

1. Yeah, 55 is old-sorry, it is.

It’s like going over Niagara Falls in a barrel.  “Brave” is certainly not the first adjective that comes to mind for that behavior, but it is technically accurate.

So like her run for governor then?

I guess hooking up with the world’s least considerate pothead could be called ‘brave’, sure.

It’s amazing how many comments here have nothing to do with the article. It isn’t “Boba Fett was bad” or “the story is incoherent” it’s a well thought out critique of how they’re handling the extended universe, which is especially relevant given how franchise-heavy all our media is these days. Read beyond the title

Martin is the man. He's fully aware of the Gemstone kids. His face said it all when Judy said her Tesla didn't even take gas. Hilarious. I hope this show can sustain a long run.
