This is a fantastic article. Completely nailed all the reasons why I was irked by this character. Two really interesting ideas woven together expertly.

As a SATC fan despite all its shortcomings, of course, I share all your sentiments about AJLT and Che. Thank you for mentioning Ramirez’s thoughts on why HBO removed them—it’s an important layer to the context.

Fan-tastic. I've never seen this show ever before, and I even came to this article late but this expresses many of my frustrations with the queer community. I've never seen SATC or its reboot before, but just reading that opening bit... cringe shivers all down my spine. Yuck.

Thank you for discussing this in a thoughtful manner.

Oh yeah, the algorithim is absolutely diabolical. I put almost the exact name of your post into the engine and couldn't find it until I went through my own comment history. Fuck that, this needs to be read.

I loved this. Thank you! Do you feel in a way that the show is throwing Che under the bus? Carrie is clearly the vampire queen…it’s like she sacrificed Che to maintain her castle.
