      Samantha was the only true girls girl in the group. Charlotte and Carrie slut shamed and Miranda (while I love her in the OG series) was so judgmental about Charlotte wanting to be a wife and mother. Samantha was more in line with "eh good for her not for me"

      ​@@kerrajohnson3203 ummm ...what ??? Charlotte said that Carrie shouldn't have an affair because Natasha was the one being hurt !! It had nothing to do with the wedding! She merely empathized with the real victim. And Charlotte never dumped her closed off views about sex onto others and act snarky. It's all Carrie . Carrie ( and Miranda ) was the most harsh about people being Bi , or enjoying different stuff . Charlotte was like " yeah ... I would never , but you do you " .

      @@kerrajohnson3203 Charlotte is just traditional about how she wants it, but she's not judgmental. I dont agree with people like Samantha how they live their lives, but I dont judge I think it's good for them if they like it that way, that's just disagreeing but not judging. Also anyone with any sense of a moral compass would question somebody having an affair. You ain't a girls girl if you support a woman getting cheated on. Plus Natasha and Charlotte are a lot alike, and Carrie was on top of having an affair constantly criticizing Natasha for being "boring" etc just because she was jealous, as if it was Natashas fault that Big deemed Carrie not good enough to settle down with. At some point if you're in Charlottes shoes through all that you'd probably start to question how your so called friend truly sees you.

    My favourite funny scene is the one where Sam is telling the girls about her guy's funky tasting spunk, and Charlotte just gets up and leaves. Miranda turns to Carrie and says "and she's never coming back!" That was soo funny. My boyfriend and I laughed so hard when we first saw it.
    Charlotte saying she thinks her vagina looks ugly and then Miranda saying "well maybe that's why it's depressed."

  • @grantwoodby3223
    @grantwoodby3223 2 месяца назад +12

    I always loved their scenes together. One of my favorites is the episode where Miranda's mother dies and the girls go to her hometown to support her at the funeral. Samantha's grief for her friend manifests in her inability to have an org*sm and culminates in her having a breakdown at the funeral. As Carrie goes to console Miranda, Charlotte holds Samantha and comforts her while she sobs. It was a really tender, beautiful moment between the two.

  • @Choshako
    @Choshako 2 месяца назад +15

    It actually makes perfect sense that Sam and Charlotte mirror each other. Charlotte represents Love in the friend group, while Samantha represents Lust. Love and Lust often go hand in hand, so for characters that are embodiments of these concepts, they would have a lot in common despite having a few key differences.

    @lbierman21 2 месяца назад +14

    Sam and Charlotte have a big/little sister dynamic. Especially, if you put all of them in that dynamic. Of the 4, Samantha is the oldest and Charotte is the youngest. Their roles aren't given as much time as the others (one on one situations), which reflects well on screen because that is reality. But they get mad and upset as all siblings do but always have each other's back.

  • @marieborremans

    It's a shame that they didn't spend more screen time together, as characters. They've had some very tender moments together. I loved how after one of their fights their reconciliation was Samantha's cheering Charlotte on, after she'd finally had sex with Trey, in the "Frenemies" episode, especially after they'd met their doppelgangers, only more extreme! I also enjoyed how Samantha had defended Charlotte, after Laney had stolen her proposed baby name, Shayla. Maybe Sam didn't care about baby showers or children, but she did care about her friends.
    Also, I love how you said that Samantha and Charlotte didn't settle for less, and then cut to the series finale, where Carrie and Big have their rom-com moment, in Paris. 😂
