View the gallery As this show marches on toward its probable end, I'm struck again by the fact that even though plenty of things frustrate me about it, I will miss it. This week, Carrie's plot was actually good enough that it managed to cover a

View the gallery Ugh, awards season and travel got me behind -- there was another new one last night that isn't covered here. Has anyone discovered human cloning yet? HOWEVER: Amid all the clothes, the show very bravely tackles the spectre of AIDS in the '80s, and while

View the gallery I apologize for the length of this slideshow, but it's THREE episodes' worth of The Carrie Diaries, and I didn't want to deny you any noteworthy ensembles. It's light on Donna La Donna, heavy on shoulders, and DELICIOUSLY tinged with

Well, we've seen some very interesting neon gear from the young '80s Carrie Bradshaw; now let's see what Samantha Jones is up to over there. Personally, I don't think Samantha Jones ever would have worn a skirt that fit SO BADLY. Then again,

Samantha Jones will show up on season two of The Carrie Diaries, which ought to be interesting, because do they have the actress study Kim Cattrall's work? Will it be a new interpretation, or an echo, and will either one ever work? If she imitates Kim, it might
