Monday 8:00 PM on The CWIn Season
I don't like Carrie actually having a younger sister. I find it extremely unlikely that a sister would never have been mentioned in her adult life with her adult friends... That and a dead mother... But otherwise it was cute. I'd love the soundtrack! Also, I wonder if we'll ever meet Samantha and the others. I was hoping one of them would have been a childhood friend haha.
I understand, I'd feel the same way. They should stick to what was already given. Problem is, I think Dorrit, as weird as her name is, is the most interesting character on the show. If I watch this show some more, I hope to see more about her.
There are a few differences:
-I believe Carrie in SATC actually claims to have a brother at some point?
-SATC changes the back story by saying her father left their family when she was 5, nothing about a dying mother, etc (the episode where she starts working at Vogue).
-Technically, in SATC II the movie it explains how & when they all met, which differs from the books where she meets one of the main ladies fairly soon after high school.
I find these differences kind of annoying since, story-wise, there doesn't seem to be a point to having changed them in SATC in the first place. I am even more annoyed that I can spot these differences so easily. They needed to stick with the books for the Carrie Diaries since they use her mother's death as a way to introduce her to NYC, but since this is a prequel it all gets weird when you do what all of us can't help but do: piece the story together in one line (which doesn't work).
Trying to take The Carrie Diaries as a separate piece of fiction & enjoying it for what it is--entertaining.
