So I don't feel like this episode was as compelling as the pilot. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed it but it didn't have the umph that the first one did. Maybe it was just the anticipation and excitement of the first episode that made the pilot better, not quite sure. I loved the music, the clothes, the hair, the whole 80's atmosphere and the excitement of her getting to the city. This week she was mostly at school or cooped up at home or at her internship. I guess that's what being grounded is all about. No surprise I find it a little boring.
Carrie does meet up with Sebastian at the pool, but gets busted when Dorrit tattles on her to their dad. Side note: who names their daughter Dorrit? That is possibly the most unfortunate name I have ever heard. Carrie doesn't receive further punishment for her transgression, however her dad doesn't want her seeing Sebastian. I have a feeling Carrie is going to have a hard time following that rule. Sebastian seems like a pretty good guy, he didn't give in to Donna who was throwing herself all over him. And he seems to genuinely like Carrie. What does Mr. Bradshaw know about Sebastian that makes him want to keep Carrie away from him?
The situation between Maggie and Walt is heartbreaking. I feel terrible for him, and for her. I am looking forward to seeing how this story develops, particularly with Walt. I can imagine how hard it would be to come out as an adolescent and this is the 80's, before Glee and Ellen. I think this will be a great story.
One last thing, I love that Carrie used fashion to get on her boss's good side. I just love these little glimpses of how this Carrie becomes the HBO Carrie that we all know and love. She is smart, crafty and of course a fashionista!
