Chris Noth was perfectly cast. What a charming man!

I am rewatching this now with my grown up 29 years old eyes. Big was truly the worst thing to happen to Carrie. The guy is a textbook exemple of a narcissist.

No matter what you think about each of them, or how bad they both were for each other it’s fairly obvious they were meant to be together. They deserved all the good and bad things they could give.

They are soulmates because they are both self centered and out of touch with reality.

So heartbroken after the first episode, had to come back and relive these moments

My heart melts with every balloon that pops out of the limo.

Watching this now as a happily married woman, I can’t believe I ever watched this believing this was romance. Big was a complete narcissist; he would give breadcrumbs when he wanted how he wanted and zoom off into the night knowing she would eat those crumbs like it was a full meal. He would double talk her just enough to keep her wondering if maybe he was “the one”. That soul mate exchange was classic narcissistic behavior. If a man says those things run for the hills; he will keep you tied up in knots your entire relationship chasing down true love.

I cried a lot when I saw this scene. Because was really unexpected. Carrie walking by seems like she was sad tho, suddenly Big appears. :(

The way she smiles, you can feel it straight from the heart🎀💕

This is a dangerous man

Loved this season and these episodes were so full I f emotions. Miss these shows

He’s always shutting her down. He blew off her birthday, told her he didn’t get balloons, shirked off the soulmate talk.... I can’t stand him.

One of the most romantic scenes ever

They used to call each other boyfriend girlfriend at one point and they didn't even know each other's age? Oy....

Every woman has had a Big or has a Big in their life.

I love this scene. Big was a real sweetheart! It was SO clear how much he cared for her.

You gotta love him, he is always there for her even if it's in the background. Just when we write him off he turns up & does something like that for her, that's the kind of thing that keeps him in her ( & my) heart!!!

i love when big close his eye 😍😍😍😍.

Thats classic narcissist game. Give you crumbs to keep you on their strings. Then leave you for weeks and even months.

I like this part , feel loved.

Did Carrie know how old Big was? He definitely looked 40-45 and they had dated quite a while.

This is so simple but so cute...

I just realise after all this years, I had the same multicolor tree pin that Carrie is wearing on her poncho 🤣

I liked them together they had so much chemistry but considering the pain Carrie went through she shouldnt have come back

When Big says "I like the word soul. I like the word mate. Other than that, ya got me," does anybody think that has a double meaning? Like, even if you think you don't have a soulmate, you've got me?

You know their characters are well written when people call them sweet to narcissistic.

I love her cape!

40-45, emotional age, damages 12-15

♥ Thankkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk youuuuuuuuuuu

If only life was like a movie

Now... THAT is the reason he ended up with her, not Natasha... Despite all his jerkness and asholeness, he's the one for her.

when I saw this ep, and now I am 35 Time fly so fast...

She's beautiful.

Haha, the moment the red balloons are coming out of the car all I can think of is Stephen King's IT 😆 Bad omen for Carrie, too, after all

love what Big does for Carrie. I'd love it if my boyfriend did that for me.

He could only treat her in that way more often than their relationship

wait a second, theyve known each other for years, been in a relationship and broke up in three seasons. Now, in season 4, they ask each other how old they are and refuse to tell????

Her cape is nice i want one

Big was handsome and charming but he had his problems 😥 Aiden was cute too

This soul mate reminded me of my Big telling me I like us being friends, let us be friends and see where it is going, while he was gone for a long already.

Big: "Did you have a nice day? " Carrie: "I did" Big: "Good" I love the way Looked at her and the caring in his voice when he asked her about her birthday day. He really wanted to hear her say they she enjoyed her day.

I tink there's good in everyone and if ure kind to the worst person it makes all difference,,, there's nothing in the world like someone to love us

It's kind of funny how opposite the comments here are. Is there a more divisive character on television?

❤️

I won't condemn Big as a villain only because he did not fulfill Carrie's every fantasy and expectation. People have a right to set their own pace. Carrie was more "in love with love" than she was with Big. Love is wanting "for" the other person. Being "In love" is merely wanting "from" them which is a selfish attitude. If he is at fault than so is she for accepting terms that did not satisfy. They were more playmates than they were soulmates. He had lots of money to indulge their trivial amusements and Carrie loved to play along. Romance is the easy part.

Those red balloons... I thought Pennywise was going to pop out of the limo ...

Red balloons = PennyWise in a drain ditch somewhere!! LOL!!

Chris North was petfect as Big ❤❤

I neeeeeed the piano music name in this scene 😍 anyone know?

She didn’t know his age?! Omg. And the conversations they used to have so late I usually have by date number 3 😂😂😂

Nope never found my Mr Big

Anyone who knows the music?

🎈🎈🎈🎈

Wish I had a Mr. Big of my own.

why didn't they get back together back then?

it wasn't big's money that carrie was neccesarily attracted to. he was a romantic, a zealous person and had the suave personality the dramatic writer in carrie needed. I know everyone loved aidan but tbh i fucking hated him. 1) i hate big dogs. 2) he tried to change carrie into this hunky dorey country girl which wasnt carrie. i know carrie shouldnt have been smoking but it was kinda part of her personality .carrie didnt have to be an idol she was just the main character, you can aspire to be whoever you want to be. love is about who COMPLIMENTS you best. you CHALLENGES you. who brings out qualiities of you that you like. not who treats you nicely. thats so gross. granted big was an asshole to carrie. but she was soooooo paranoid all the time when he just didnt want to rush things. there was a reason she kept taking him back. bc desptie all her love interests he was the one that swooned her heart the most. give her a fuckin break and stop talking about how great aidan was....especially that episode where he was lying around in his underwear eating kfc....barf

Big wasn't rude at all, he was very sweet. Thank God cause I was very sad for Carrie, and he was there after all. Made me cry.

Absofuckinglutely!!!! They are each other’s endgame. He never led her on and it was a great love

Lol. Love SATC..... But this was ridiculous.

The gesture is really romantic but this is narcissist behaviour. He disappears for the party but shows up late with balloons. That’s rude and selfish.

She needs help

irresponsible couple😍
