Carrie has just broken up with Big, and is-predictably-being a little insufferable about it. But that brevity is half the injury-and his appearance perfectly encapsulates the problem with most of the men on this show. This is going to seem petty, because Seth only shows up once and has less than a handful of scenes. Their wild ride was followed by emotional unavailability, another reconciliation, and finally-just when Carrie thought they’d worked through their issues!-the infamous Post-it note, left in the middle of the night as Berger snuck out like the coward he always was. Carrie, unaware that Berger’s career had hit a roadblock, bought him a Prada shirt-and he repaid her by making her fear for her life on a crazed motorcycle ride, because apparently professional success is a major turnoff to him. Then Carrie’s own book began to take off just as Berger’s publisher dropped him, prompting a new parade of insecurities. Then came the Great Scrunchie Battle of 2003, which began when Carrie dared to gently tease her beau about a single sentence in his new novel no matter how she praised the rest of the book, it wasn’t enough to stop Berger from shutting down and licking his wounds in that insufferably bitter, Berger-y way. There was the obnoxious Sharper Image sound machine, left over from his previous ex, Lauren.
The humor writer was perhaps Carrie’s most memorably awful breakup, but his crimes against humanity started well before the Post-it affair.
