Back to a Sex and the City-ism

The other day, one of my all-time favorite websites, facebook, was hosting a poll:  who is your favorite Sex and the City boyfriend?

The options were:

--Big

--Aiden

--Steve

--Richard

--Trey

Uh, duh!

No contest.  Steve wins hands down in my book.  Even considering his error in judgment from the first SATC movie - I still forgave him (and at least he did take responsibility for the mistake).  I think he's a genuine guy, he's cute (in a dorky way), he's good for Miranda, and he sincerely cares about her.   I'd date him.

Mr. Big is much more refined and charming (and maybe even better looking), but there was a small part of him that never seemed to be fully into Carrie.  Carrie was running around chasing him, wanting him to love her for a big portion of the series.   It wasn't until the last season that he was good for her.  So, on these grounds, he cannot win in my book.

Aiden was never the right match for Carrie.  He was just so blatantly wrong for her the whole time - although he seemed like a good guy, I could never vote for him.  Maybe if he was cast as Carrie's brother or contractor, I'd see him in a different light.

I have no idea how Richard or Trey even found themselves on this list.  It should have been Smith and Harry instead.  But I digress.

Who is your favorite SATC boyfriend?  Anyone else share my love of Steve?   Do you all feel Big is better (it looked like he won the facebook poll).  Your thoughts?

Currently Reading....

Really good.   About 40 pages in already.

However (spoiler alert?).

I get picky when there are inconsistencies between a book and a series.  I do realize Candace wrote the first book that started SATC but didn't write every episode from there on out (I assume).  However - in the series, I believe it's Season 4, the episode entitled 'Shoulda Woulda Coulda' - Carrie comments that her dad ran out on her and her mom at age 5 (or sometime around there).  In this book - Carrie is in high school and her dad is still around.

Also, Carrie has siblings in this book.  Nothing was ever said that Carrie had siblings during the entire series.  Granted, there was no mention of family, in general, for her.  I realize that doesn't mean they couldn't have existed, however, with so much focus on her for so long, I feel, if they did exist, they should have been thrown in to a conversation or episode at some point.  I had Carrie pegged as an only like me, for multiple reasons, and I had all the supporting evidence I needed.  Or, at least, no contradictory evidence.  Hmm.  Sigh.

Your thoughts?  Who else is reading this?
