And Just Like That recap: A big thumbs-up to these guest stars
When she gathers the courage to ask out a cute guacamole server who also loves the series, the young woman breaks the news she's actually not queer. 'It's a TV show,' she says. 'I watch The Walking Dead, and I'm not a zombie.' Yeah! And just because I watch this, doesn't mean I, too, have forgotten how to interact with the world in a normal human way!
Speaking of: the episode opens with what feels like a hallucination. Carrie Bradshaw skipping across the cobblestone streets of the Meatpacking District! In a hot dress! At night! With other people around! Samantha would be so proud.
Lisette – the young party girl who's moved into Carrie's old apartment – asked to meet to give Carrie a gift. A giant clanking necklace with the numbers 245 welded onto it. Unfortunately, I don't think SJP saying '245 East 73rd St' is going to stop tourists crowding the pavement in front of 64 Perry Street – the West Village facade where they shot the exteriors of her apartment – as much as its new owner would like them to.
Before tossing her phone across the bar, Lisette bemoans that 'it's such a messed up time to be dating'. Carrie replies with a few quips and, without the thematic link the show once had via her voiceovers, that's about all we have to gain as far as modern relationship insights go.

I don't mean to be negative, really, but scenes like this and the montage of Seema 'hate-dating' men made me yearn for the Sex and the City approach, where funny anecdotes were always bookended by a conversation that needled at the core of why sexual relationships were tricky or fun or dark or twisted.
Instead, Seema agrees for her boss to set her up with Sydney, a matchmaker played by Saturday Night Live legend Cheri Oteri. She's an advocate for getting rid of Seema's metallics and animal prints (hard disagree!) and toning down her honesty and entire personality.
This show has a tendency to introduce characters with a lot of backstory then disappear them immediately. As grim as this Seema matchmaking storyline is, I pray this is not the end of Sydney; Oteri makes sense in this universe the same way Amy Sedaris and Candice Bergen do.
The biggest finger in this episode is delivered by Aidan. After dictating – then deleting – texts out loud to him, Carrie's even more confused about the rules for their separation when he appears in their (?) apartment.
Carrie's contractor is ripping out her entire, rat-infested courtyard, and she tells Aidan she's trying to look under everything else in her life. He sets new rules for them which seem to be: let's just keep in regular contact. But when he responds to a text about a vintage table she wants to buy, all he can spare for her is a thumbs down.
I really – comma – really wish she'd be honest with him about her feelings because Miranda's right: obsessing over his text etiquette is beneath her.
Before Carrie can continue writing her novel in the courtyard – where she quite literally said hello to a squirrel (please God can this woman smoke a cig or wear a bra in public or break into a church service again!!) – she has to get it re-designed by Adam, aka Logan Marshall-Green, who played Trey Atwood on The OC.
He asks her the one fundamental question he has to understand new clients: 'What's your ultimate vision?' Not exactly a light ice-breaker. She deflects. She doesn't know. The slate is clean and who knows what comes next. If her manuscript is any indication, she'll be writing on it in Courier New font.

Cheers star George Wendt's cause of death revealed
George Wendt's cause of death has been revealed. The Cheers star passed away in May at the age of 76, and now TMZ has released his official cause of death as per the certificate obtained from Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. It lists the actor's cause of death as "cardiac arrest with congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, and hypertension as underlying causes" and adds that "end-stage renal disease - kidney failure - and hyperlipidemia" were also contributing factors. Best known for his role as beer-swilling Norm Peterson on the hit NBC bar sitcom Cheers, George had spoken candidly about the impact of the show on his life. He said in a past interview: 'I was lucky to be part of something that became such a beloved part of people's lives.' Born in 1948, George a household name throughout the run of 'Cheers', which was on air for 11 seasons from 1982 to 1993. Despite a rocky start with low ratings that nearly saw the show cancelled after its first season, the sitcom grew to become a defining sitcom of its era, spending eight of its remaining 10 seasons in the top 10 shows and peaking as the most-watched programme in its ninth season. The series received 117 Emmy nominations, winning 28 awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series four times. George was nominated for six consecutive Emmys for his portrayal of Norm, appearing in every episode until the series ended in May 1993. Outside of Cheers, George appeared in various television roles, including Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Columbo. He was also well known for his recurring sketch on 'Saturday Night Live', Bill Swerski's Superfans, which celebrated Chicago sports fans. George was married to Bernadette Birkett, who voiced his never-seen sitcom wife Vera on 'Cheers', since 1978. The couple had three children – a daughter and two sons.
